Reactions/Reviews
This vid was recommended by elizabethhelena on Crack Van on February 27, 2009: "As always, Dr. Worm merges a song you haven't heard before in this fandom with clips you rarely see from the show, and creates a vid that is as unique as it is entertaining.
What's more, there's a fascinating ambiguity that pervades The Shadow Government. It's a dead-on portrayal of the shadowy world of U.N.C.L.E. agents, snatching Innocents off the street and lurking behind filing cabinets. However, the often thoroughly pummeled agents (especially poor Illya) could easily be seen as the victims of a shadowy government. Or they could even be in need of a Big Brother to protect them from all of the shady characters out to get them.
Regardless, there's no ambiguity about how much fun this vid is to watch, and it always leaves me with warm feelings of affection for the the insanity of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. universe."
