Michael Shanks


Michael Shanks is a Stargate addict. 

After 10 season of Stargate SG1, various apparitions in Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe, and the Stargate movies, what has Michael been up to?

Well, he lives and relives in Smallville. He becomes the enigmatic Hawkman, best known as as the archeologist Carter Hall. Yes an archeologist again, not very original.

In his new TV show, Saving hope, he plays, well, a ghost - not ascended- .
He his a chief of Surgery, Charlie Harris in Toronto's Hope Zion Hospital. He is engaged to Alex Reid (Erica Durance). So after Clark Kent, she is engaged to yet another Smallville character.

Saving Hope has just started. It premiered on June, 7 2012. It is a show I will definitely follow, as it combines supernatural, talented actors, and hopefully a good plot.

For Michael Shanks ' fan we can hope that we won't see him die again. Indeed, his characters seem unable to stay alive. Please writers, don't kill him again !

What's on TV this week? (24-30 june) Eureka

Eureka, S05E10 the Honeymooners

Eureka is a dreamy town, where everything is possible. I thought that only in Supernatural people came back from the dead, but it seems that I was wrong.

In this episode Jack prepares a perfect honeymoon who turned out to be ... catastrophic. No hot water, mud instead, no roof, no bed, a night in a tent...Perfect for camping, not so much for a honeymoon. Carrie lives something quite similar in Sex and the City when Aidan invites her to his house in the woods.

In the meantime Holly is still looking for the perfect body. Don't you wish sometimes that you could be transfer on a new body?

And shocking news: Henry's wife is (was? ) a spy, she joined on "other henry's" request.

In case you didn't know that, Colin Ferguson, aka Carter was just in Haiti, helping the random Act. The random act is a charity founded by Misha Collins, the angel from Supernatural.

Don't hesitate to make donations.

10 seasons of Friends

"Richart, you are a good guy    <-- Chandler
I know, I hate that"                   <--Richard

Chandler finally won Monica over.

What can I say about this show? So many things, catchy phrases, good or bad jokes. I must admit that I was one of these helpless romantics rooting for Rachel and Ross.
( Even when they were on a break)
The multiple guest stars could only have make it better. The superficial Reese Whiterspoon, the pathetic Bruce Willis, the psycho Ben Stiller, the gorgeous Noah Wyle and George Clooney ...

buy here, as there won't be a movie.


Better to look at what they are doing now.

Jennifer Aniston: after 2 medium movies Just go with it and horrible bosses she seems to be more successful in her private life. She and Justin Leroux may or may not be engaged.

Matthew Perry: he will play the lead in a new show : Go on. The series will premiere on September 11, 2012

David Schwimmer : he comes back as Melman the hypochondriac giraffe in Madagascar 3.

Courtney Cox: who has not seen Cougar town ? It is a show about 6 friends, 3 men, 3 women who live close to each other....Where have I seen this concept before?

Lisa Kudrow : She is guest staring. She also has a web series called  Web therapy

Matt LeBlanc: I am honestly not sure

NCIS Till death do us part, last episode of season 9



What did you think of the last episode of NCIS? 
Till Death Do Us part
(spoilers)

Let's rewind.
The double episode focuses on the new most wanted criminal - actually replaced Ben Laden on the wall- Harper Dearing. Dearing is looking for revenge for his son's death, especially against the Navy and Gibbs. 

The episode begins with Tony going through the luggages of director Vance, wondering if he wears boxer or not. By the way we didn't have the answer.
Vance is in a church with a message: your king is vulnerable.

Leroy Jethro Gibbs meets mini Ryan. Little Ryan asks the killer question: "how much do you like my mum? On a scale from 1 to 10, you can round up if you want"...

And then the "incident" number 1.
A bomb in a house

Poor Palmer realizes in the process that his wedding is not the priority of the day, his "family" is hot on the trail of Dearing. Only mentor and friend Ducky will make it. 

Dearing starts the attack with Ryan's son. He even released the evil ex husband on the Ryan family who went on hiding. And off you go, one more of Gibbs relationship that seems doom.

I think that NCIS writers have something against relationships. Ducky, Tony, Ziva, Gibbs, Mcgee are all single- or nothing serious at least. The only one who seem to escape this fate is not even a main character - by the way, after 9 seasons I think that Palmer has  REALLY earned the right to be more than a regular. 


However as we see Ziva and Tony talking about weddings, we can realize that romance is still here.

Then the grand finale, incident number 2. 
A bomb in Vance's car. 
Beautiful present for this end of season. Mcgee went flying, Tony and Ziva are stuck in an elevator, Gibbs is trying to protect Abby, Palmer is nowhere to be seen but on his way. The only absent is Ducky. Touching scene in the end, when Ducky falls - probably heart attack.

I was pretty chocked in the end, as I had just read that David McCallum has signed a new contract. 

Away from everybody, I'm sure now that Ducky will be okay, but really don't know how.

Who do you think is gonna die? 

Personally I think that nobody will. Or is that a selfish wish? After all they killed a bunch of interesting people already. I think that NCIS's ending was one of the best - and worst - cliffhanger of this TV season.
