Christopher Webster [Cathode Ray Mission 11.28.08] news scifi



We don't do tons of reporting on television around these parts but certain shows, like AMC's upcoming redux of the 60s classic The Prisoner, remain high on my radar. More of a 5 minutes in the future re-interpretation than a straight up remake, The Prisoner promises to be a thrilling six part saga full of surreality and scifi - totally my thing.

But anyway, I stumbled upon a viral site for the show called Seek the Six. Like many viral sites its goal is to take up a lot of your time and then give you nothing much in return but whatever it's still cool. It's set up like a puzzle. After I couldn't figure it out for about 20 minutes I dove into some boards about it and came up with this:

"You have to select an image that either has 6 objects or somehow represents the number 6. This must be done in succession for all 6 panels or the puzzle will reset."

So there you have it. If you're interested in the project or in this kind of viral marketing stuff check it out. If not just head into the break and watch the clip.

This site isn't actually new, it's been around for months.

Ah yes, but you'll notice I never used the words "new" or "just launched" just "spotted" as in by me. I figured there were probably enough people who've yet to find the site that it was worth mentioning. Not everyone is quite as up on their Prisoner news as yourelf it would seem.

yeah cheers, i didn't know if it's existance! :D Can't wait to see how it turns out, though i'm sceptical that it could ever be as good as the original. No one can be as good a number 6 as ol' Patrick surely.
