Changed lines 56 from:
* MacGuffin - The real reason for Number 6's resignation. The Village minders don't actually give a flying f__k about it (and it's entirely possible that they already know) -- it's just the question they keep using to try and gain some leverage over him.
to:
* MacGuffin - The real reason for Number 6's resignation. In two ways:
** Many of the Village minders don't actually give a flying f__k about the answer (and it's entirely possible that they already know) -- what's important is that Number 6 surrenders by telling them.
** Others, like the Number 2 in "A, B and C", set off the plot of the episode in question because they think they'll learn the true reason Number 6 resigned. They never do.
reason: update for remake

Changed line 44 from:
* GainaxEnding - After footsying around with metaphor and allegory for the entire series, the GrandFinale goes ''completely'' allegorical...
to:
* GainaxEnding - After footsying around with metaphor and allegory for the entire series, the GrandFinale goes ''completely'' allegorical... so much so that there's actually a fairly good case for calling this trope the FallOutEnding or the PrisonerEnding instead.

Changed line 60 from:
** In "The Girl Who Was Death", the boxing ring referee announces [=McGoohan=]'s character by name as what sounds like a slurred, quickly spoken "John Drake". Later he calls him (somewhat more clearly) "Mr. Drake". This was probably a deliberate joke by Patrick [=McGoohan=], to go along with deliberately including an actor named "John Drake" in the episode.
