I love this sort of topic too. I enjoy learning where this interest comes from in others and see the commonalities and differences with myself. In a way I almost wish there was a space for people to write an essay kind of analyzing how this interest developed, referring to childhood interests and experiences that relate to it and speculating, as if from a "third party perspective," on what it reveals about the person.

Hmm, that seems almost spooky when I write it that way, and it could lead to all sorts of navel-gazing I suppose. A series of self-referential essays? Um, maybe not...

Anyway, THE PRISONER, mentioned above, is indeed a fantastic old TV series. If you aren't familiar with it, I recommend googling it. It's just unreal. (And plays on BBC America, avail. on satellite.) Just when the scenarios and dialogue get completely bizarre, that big bubble bursts out of the sea and starts interfering with things. Too much!
