I find him silly. Many times you can see the string pulling him # along the water, but I don't mind. When you love a show you take a lot # of things as givens. ROVER could have been done more convinsingly, but # such is life in the Village. I hope they tell us who #1 is at the end of # the series, or at least get him rescued. Q: Any thought as to where the # Village really is? Not that many places can have the kind of climate they # do (rarely rains, never cold), with a bay and mountains, etc. Whaddya think? # # "I am a MAN, not a number!!" -Number Six # # -Michael "on the Twilight Node" Weiss ...!psuvax1!gondor!weiss Actually they did build a mechanical Rover contraption, but it rolled over and died when they started filming. The Rover they did use was a weather balloon, with shots of a Lava Lite (do they still make them?) to show Rover's emergence from the depths of the Sea. I actually like Rover -- it was cute and liked to cuddle. You do find out who Number One is, in the last episode of course. Or maybe he really isn't Number One. You'll have to make up your own mind after seeing it -- you don't expect an unambiguous ending, do you? The outdoor scenes of the Village were filmed in Wales, at a resort hotel called the Portmeiron (if I remember correctly). Watch the credits for the final episode -- it's listed there. And the most frequent version of the quote is "I'm not a number, I'm a Free Man!". === Guy Riddle == AT&T Bell Laboratories, New Jersey === ggr.btl@csnet-relay.ARPA ihnp4!ggr
