Dave's take: Well, now i'm (predictably) confused about who's running this Village. Seems obvious now that it's "everyone," meaning the Brits and the Commies or something like that. And everyone's in on the investigation upon Number 6. And i am unlikely to trust any alleged accomplice from here on in. i really thought near the end of the episode that i might have put episode 17 into the VCR - well done, writers!! Two episodes in, i am ever more enchanted with the nuanced and detailed writing of this world. The Village Salute is especially infectious and i intend to adopt it for a time. Great aural environment, costuming, and dialogue. All around, this is shaping up to be a pleasure of the highest order. i want to see Number 6 ride the antique bike.
Angelica's view: As I polish off the leftover cucumber sandwiches and wine (an advantage of being the host), I am mulling over whether the reasons for Number 6's resignation will make their way into the plot...will there be any flashbacks revealing the reasons (I suspect no flashforwards)? I had for a moment thought that we might see some action off the island...as much as I am intrigued by the village and want to see more of the village, I admit to hoping for some off-site action as well. Number 6's episode 2 jacket was ultra-cool, especially paired with his stylish sneakers...I don't quite get the capes that the women wear though...nor the umbrellas, but perhaps this is all yet to be revealed...
