We all are free as long as we fight to be free , if we sit dull and dumb we will certainly be used and abused . We are all free thinking people ... we all have something to offer, something special and unique to our selfs and when we all come together we can reach a common goal and live in peace when we decide to do so. We are all but specs but tiles that make up a mosaic of American freedom and everything our flag stands for . Stay strong stay free and may liberty cress our souls!
Hello. Review “Fall Out” and consider who keeps our hero imprisoned all along.
Unless, of course, you subscribe to the theory that the whole thing is a Christian allegory. P McG did, after all, do the series under his creation “Everyman Films”…
I'm a 1960s kid. The first thing that came to mind when I saw the title was Bob Seger:
Feel Like a Number
I take my card and I stand in line To make a buck I work overtime Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail I work my back till it's racked with pain The boss can't even recall my name I show up late and I'm docked It never fails I feel like just another Spoke in a great big wheel Like a tiny blade of grass In a great big field
To workers I'm just another drone To Ma Bell I'm just another phone I'm just another statistic on a sheet To teachers I'm just another child To IRS I'm another file I'm just another consensus on the street Gonna cruise out of this city Head down to the sea Gonna shout out at the ocean Hey it's me
And I feel like a number Feel like a number Feel like a stranger A stranger in this land I feel like a number I'm not a number I'm not a number Dammit I'm a man I said I'm a man
Gonna cruise out of this city Head down to the sea Gonna shout out at the ocean Hey it's me [Chorus] And I feel like a number Feel like a number Feel like a stranger A stranger in this land I feel like a number I'm not a number I'm not a number Dammit I'm a man I feel like a number Feel like a number Feel like a number
Nice, but this came first. Then the Iron Maiden covers, Rush references, this, the Simpsons episode, an episide of the kids' cartoon Reboot ("Number Seven"), Bester's salute in Babylon 5, and countless other honorifics and tips of the hat.
If you can get through an episode without saying "Hey, that's what they're doing now..." you weren't watching.
Kind of what NotinFormation was referring too, as more a child of the 80's, I go straight to Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden was good. I go back before the Beatles. But my first real hit was "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" by "The Bubble Puppy." Yes, I was a head banger at one time but I got over it. It is amazing what the military does to you back in the 70s.
The show resonated in my soul when it first came out-the symbologies made it a very thoughtful show. u/1776Mogul, I agree with you fren!!
Iron Maiden did a song about this show on Number of the Beast.
One of the BEST SERIES EVER! ✨
