# About ROVER. 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

Although I know it is not the place for it, I would like to say that including info about things that aren't quite the subject matter of the particular network is fine by me. (This is going here because of the rude comments about posting prisoner stuff on tv.drwho.) For weeks I tried to get net.drwho, net.doctor and every other combination I could think of, with no luck. If it wasn't for that Anjelique (sp) Pettijohn stuff being cross listed on net.startrek I would never have found it. And for that matter if one of the startrek movies hadn't had some small effect using an APPLE ][ computer a cross listed apple/startrek article might never have been posted, and I would have never thought of looking for startrek (or drwho). I realize there must be a listing of all the nets somewhere but until I find it this is the only way I can learn of new ones.
