                   Sounds like a good idea to me, Mike, that is, to move it 
to net.tv.  From now on that is where I will look for discussion.  Point
well made re: How do I *know* where the Village is. I guess I don't *know*
where it is. I should know by now that nothing, repeat NOTHING, is ever as it
seems in this show. But I can tell you how I *think*  I know.

***** ALERT!! ALERT!!  SPOILER APPROACHING!!  *******

       In episode 7, did not No. 6 and his old colleagues trace the route he
had sailed and determine using various scientific methods that his point of
departure must have been the Baltic coast of Lithuania? And did he not fly in
the jet to that very spot when he was dropped like a hot potato? It seems to me
that this is pretty convincing evidence, but I do concede that there is always 
a 'bug' lying dormant in evidence like this. 

       By the way, do you (or anyone else) have any ideas about the 
'funny-umbrellas' or the old-fashioned bicycle. viz. significance? I hope
we're not going to dominate this discussion.
