TV review

A brief note, again heavily under the 'fluence of pseudoccultmedia, on some TV I saw last night. And the Mind Kontrol symbolism therein, of course.

Firstly, at 8pm, on ITV4 was the first episode in the second series of "Primeval", a scifi drama in which a team of people of varied talents investigate the sudden appearance of gaps in the space time continuum. Four main characters, as with most of these programmes and no doubt representing various Jungian archetypes as I've said before. There's the Professor, he's the boss. There's the handsome one, the clever one and the feisty anima woman.

Instances of apparent symbolism include the "anomalies", ie gaps in the space time continuum through which dinosaurs and other monsters are wont to roam, which have been made by the special effects gubbins to resembles shards of shining broken glass. Shatter symbolism = MK.

The last episode of the first series and first of the second series also has another piece of MK symbolism, there is another semi-major character who is some sort of Home Office civil servant. She and the Professor are just embarking on romantic adventures when the last episode of the first series comes along and, during an expedition into the distant past, events happen which erase her from history. Only the Professor and his time travelling whore-wife remember her. Luckily the actress doesn't become unemployed but reappears at the end of the episode with a different name and no memory of the events which, due to the time travel, no longer happened.

The MK symbolism here is the woman being the same but having a different identity, symbolic of TBMC-induced MPD. Also her reappearance is heralded by shots of her feet walking into the room in ruby red high heels, symbolic of Oz programming.

There was something in Spooks, too, but I can't remember what.

Also, I feel I should say something about Charlie Brooker's E4 programme "Dead Set" in which zombies take over Big Brother and eat the crowd and presentrix. But I haven't the time.

Hehe, nice work here mate (just came across your blog a day ago); I'm glad you've posted on this UK show (I just put up a post on some of the US TV shows a couple of days ago), I've got Primeval on ITV4 now in the background and I've seen the odd bits of others before; I agree with your analysis (from the brief bits of the show I've seen anyway). Good to see more people seeing right through these "innocent" looking shows; I posted on a Doctor Who episode a while back that you might be interested in.

HANNAH SPEARitt has 'the eyes' imo and a nice lizzard (with butterflyish looking wings), there seems to be something symbolic on her shirts in most episodes; here's her S-Club 7 song HEY KITTY KITTY [sex-kitten programming; listen to the lyrics "Hey kitty kitty. Set me free. Why'd you wanna do what you do to me. So good at being bad. Blow my mind"], remember their movie was called SEEING DOUBLE. Here Hannah plays LILLY (big name in MK; flower of death etc, HANNAH Montana's [Miley] best friend is Lilly/Lola), note the very first split mind shot (half face, because it's symbolically separated/split from the other half, done loads of posts on movie poster that use that), she looks so bloody tranced at the beginning of that video too and in various scenes throughout.

I hope my blog's influence isn't a negative one; the MK analysis work can be pretty consuming/overwhelming because pretty much the whole of the media seems to use it constantly. Enjoyed going through your older stuff too + latest one, cheers.
