Attention 'The Prisoner' board: starting ep. 1 Friday, January 2nd

Charmed, I hate to see it happen. I have no one left to consistently disagree with! And this leaves wlcebtg as the only one left who has stuck it out all the way from "Rendezvous With Yesterday".

But I called a hiatus of my own a few years back, when life just got too crazy. My advice--and hope--is that you keep lurking to keep track of us until you're ready to rejoin us.

Until then, so long and best wishes, my friend.

Wow, that came as a shock and I had to collect my thought before I replied.

I can't speak for your reasons, charmed, so I'll speak about mine. In 2010, I left the dreaded Monkey show (at that time) never to return. Well, I'm not sure I'd consider that giving up, since it was my first effective show, and I had done just a couple episodes, and then came back in the next, Firefly, and stayed ever since. I can't believe it's been four years already...

But anyway, at that time I left for two reasons: I hated the choice the group had made, and I felt my opinion was being valued. We can't do anything about enjoying a show like The Prisoner, but we sure can work on the second, if that happens to be your case. Therefore, here I am hoping you change your mind so we can work on the second issue.

I've always considered this little "game" of ours as an interesting experience in human interaction and coordination, so this is why I wish everybody could have the best time possible.

At least I haven't chased everybody away, but I do fear for the group's stability without your inspiring presence. I really hope we can go on fine. Wish us the best please.

When the guy who had the whole idea to begin our operation leaves, we, of course, question ourselves, and this makes us reflect. Now I realize this is my 13th show, and 9th as Moderator, and that the group has existed longer with me than without me. But I feel the real test comes now.

But we have to accept that everything comes to an end. I've been involved with Internet groups since about 1997, and managed to stay connected for years, but no matter how long people persist, eventually they drift apart. Sometimes it's just because they develop other interests, others for more serious issues, like stress, health, and even passing away.

By the way, wlcebtg and dtmuller, for historical purposes, don't even think about taking some time off!

Time off. I hope that what this is all about, charmed. And that you come back soon.

Maybe you can catch us when we do The Prisoner (2009)? Silly banter, I know.
Perhaps we'll do a comedy next.

All the best for you, charmed.

I remember watching a few episodes back when I was in high school and college. All I really remember is "Many Happy Returns", the ending of "Chimes of Big Ben" (just enough to spoil the surprise) and part of "Fall Out", which I never understood, in part, I think, because I never saw any of the previous episode.

I know I saw more than that, but that's all I remember. I'm sure more will come back as I watch it.
