From the "Things that should NOT happen" thread:

He's Irish. He's looking for a fight.

Yeah... I also spend all my evenings in traditional Irish pubs downing pints of Guinness, dancing jigs and coming on to redheads but only getting lucky with the odd sheep that wanders in because, ya know, Irish...

The sheep would be Scottish. But maybe that was in the 1982 remake.

Are we now allowed to talk about banned members?

Even the cool new members have better lives than me. That sounds like heaven.

That term has so much negative connotation to it. We prefer to use “relocated digital subscribers”.

Yeah I've seen Navy Seals used a lot on procedurals. Steve McGarett on Hawaii Five-O is a former Navy Seal. Sam Hanna on NCIS LA is also a former Navy Seal. And the new CBS show Seal Team with David Boreanaz is about an elite team of Navy seals. Nothing new in the action-procedural world.

Plenty of other elite branches of the military, but NAVY SEALS!!! Make sure they look like underwear models though...

WTF is going on in here...


Magnum should be from the Coast Guard. Nothing says action man more than former Coast Guard Reserve

Well, duh, they haven't spent the last two decades posting on this forum, of course they have better lives than us. I mean you.

You know what would really make me feel old? If they remade Happy Days... but set in the 80s or 90s. Or man, Wonder Years set in the 90s.

Bring back St. Elsewhere, but as a series of Tweets from the mind of an Aspie kid who gets booted out of every Christian forum on the Internet.

Somebody at Netflix read this and is starting to put it in motion

What no f bombs?

Whatever spin you want to put on it, it seems we are now allowed to talk about members that have been removed from the forums for cause.

This new guy reads way more like Solid Snake than Spottedfeather to me.

Every time I read a post like this I can't help but think of a bad movie plot.

"Mother does not like it when we talk about that...."

Snake was never an Ignore Lister. Ignore Lists are for emotional cripples. Snake always engaged.

Nah, I've just spent the last two decades posting on other forums.



That was more weary irritation than flaming anger.

Gee, thanks.

Yeah, but I wonder if it's only because I've usually seen the original first.

The Departed, and Vanilla Sky are examples of the rare times I watch the remake first, and prefer it over the original.


Yeah, I think you're right. Most of the remakes that have been coming out aren't that good because the originals still hold up. Examples like Ghostbusters, Nightmare on Elm Street, Robocop, etc.

Ghostbusters was a reboot, not a remake.

To me they already did sort of a Magnum-ish team dynamic thing with Burn Notice (even Westen's running internal commentary).

The big thing now is that Higgins is a woman. If she's writing these Robin Master's novels, it puts an interesting twist on it because NO ONE would really believe that. It was much different with the whole playful outing of Hillerman's Higgins being Robin (even if he did walk back his acknowledgement in the show finale). It also puts a twist in the possible relationship she and Magnum may have.

It's gonna be different for sure. Will she still be part of the King Kamehameha Club? Will there be cross-over with 5-0? I guess we'll see.

I really wished they would have had a Magnum episode of NCIS before Selleck took on Blue Bloods.

Losing the Vietnam vet angle will be odd. From what I remember, in one episode Magnum straight-up murdered someone who had tortured him during the war.
