BERNARD REPORTS:

As a proud TV-maniac I spent last summer clinging to "Burn Notice", "Eureka" and any other summer show that would keep me sane, including a romp on "Harper's Island". And boy, was it fun!

It was almost worth tuning in each week just to hear McMills say her little introduction. Including pronouncing her last name "Mels" which kind of got addicting after awhile. Now, I only eat General Mels cereal, listen to the Rumor Mel, and joust at Windmels.

"Harper's Island" is the TV equivellent of "Dante's Peak". In other words, pure good-bad-movie gold. Bad acting. Horrible scenes. Outlandish plot points. Just beautiful. If you're addicted enough to own a Roku, you can watch the entire series for free on Netflix.

Now if only "Lost" could end like this. . .

Nickname Central
There are a few dozen characters on the island and I found that giving them nicknames not only made them easier to keep track of, but made the whole experience of watching this controlled trainwreck even better.

Following the simple formula of "fill-in-the-blank" + Mc + "fill-in-the-blank" here are the one's I came up with. I McHope you McJoy them.


Because of the volume of characters in this show I couldn't show all the Micks. Missing are:
Snooty McClueless
Loopy McGoth
Lady McHobbit
Faux McBiker, Faux McBlack and Faux McNerd

I McWish you a great McDay.

MANNY REPORTS:
I know I'm about 10 years too late with this, but... really? A TV show picking up after that movie that would NOT end? I might not be the ultimate authority granted I only watched 3/4 of the pilot, but I can't see how this is going to be anything more than:

1. Get new password for star-gate
2. Setup ridiculously tight mission window
3. Role out the stupid masks/helmets and gold spray paint
4. SG1 team gets caught and has to escape in a "clever" way (Col. Jack McGyver?)

I'm sure I can guess here and say wrap-up ending too.

Did I miss anything?

Manny.

P.S. Anybody want the first season of Stargate SG1 at a rock bottom price?
