A - Anderson, Colonel Emmet
Riley from the pilot episode, Ghosts of the Confederacy,

Confederate soldiers still fighting the war, who found gold trinkets at an
Indian village. It was because of him and his group of soldiers that the SEVEN
joined together!!

own way, and he never met a woman he didn't like. Best friend to Chris Larabee
and loyal friend to the remaining members of the seven.
C - Casey Wells, spunky teenage
niece of Nettie Wells and love interest of JD Dunne. She first appeared in
The Collector episode.
D - Dunne, JD, arrived from the
east and became the youngest member of the seven. He is anxious to prove
himself, but is often over looked because of his youth, although he claims he is
older than he looks. He found himself taken under the wing of 'mother-hen' Buck
as his unofficial little brother.
E - Ella Gaines, from Obsession,
once had an alliance with Chris Larabee, however, he left her just before he met
Buck 10 years ago. She became fixated on ‘her’ Chris and arranged for Cletus
Fowler to perpetrate the fiery deaths of Sarah and Adam Larabee. She avoided
death and escaped to an unknown location, still fixated on becoming Mrs. Chris
Larabee.
F - Firearms – Revolvers, pistols,
Colt 45s, Winchester rifles, and a hidden derringer oh MY!! Gotta love a man
who knows how to use his weapon!!
G - Guy Royal was a rich rancher
who liked to "collect" goods from the homesteaders before he ousted them off
their land. He appeared in The Collector and The New Law
episodes.

animals stood fast with the SEVEN during battle. Loyal and faithful they never
let our guys down!
I - Inez Recillos, from Love &
Honor, fled from a vengeful Don Paulo to work as a bartender in the

student of a wide variety of spiritual studies. He has a strong sense of right
and wrong, as is evident in his own need for penance for past transgressions.
K - Kate and Mattie Stokes, from
Ladykillers, sisters who use to ride with Del Spivak and his gang but turned
bounty hunters in search of Spivak. Kate’s faith in the male species was
renewed when she met Buck Wilmington while cold-blooded killer Mattie nearly
killed JD when she shot him.
L - Larabee, Chris, family man
turned gunslinger after the tragic deaths of his wife and son. Held together by
his best friend, Buck, until he found a new reason for living in the brotherhood
of the seven.
M - Maude Standish, Ezra's mother
who had been married five times and was also a gambler and con artist always in
pursuit of money. When she showed up, you always knew trouble would follow!
N - Nathan Jackson, ex-slave turned
healer. Took the opportunity to learn all he could about medicine when he was a
stretcher-bearer for the Union Army. He made a place for himself with the seven
and the town by using the skills he learned.
O - O'Shea, Dicky, from Wagon
Train, was an Irish gangster boss who tried to prevent the homesteaders from
settling on their new land (which held gold).
P - Purgatory, the Mexican bandit
town located just cross the border. The seven visited it several times to
apprehend the desperados.
Q - Quince – Sheriff Quince, from
Inmate 78, was a crocked official in the seedy town of Jericho. He threw
Chris Larabee into prison on a phony charge.
R - Rain, a member of the Seminole
Village, and Nathan's love interest. She lost her father in the fight with the
Ghosts of the Confederacy.
S - Standish, Ezra, gambler and
con-man who had always been on the move, staying one step ahead of the law and
those he had duped. He found a home, a purpose for his life, and an extended
family when he joined the seven.
T - Travis - Judge Orin,
Mary, and Bill - Orin, the judge who kept the seven together so they could keep
peace in the town. Mary, the judge's daughter-in-law, she owns the Clarion
newspaper and has a nose for news that constantly gets her into trouble. Billy,
Mary's son, was the only witness to his father's murder.
U - Ugly,
one-eyed coward six-and-a-half-foot tall with no hair and a sissy hat, also
known as Marshal Top Hat Bob Spikes, from The Collector, had a livelong
grudge against Chris Larabee after losing an eye during a rail-splitting contest
in Indiana when Chris was 17.
V - Vin Tanner, the quiet tracker
with a bounty on his head. He was determined to clear his name, but the bond he
formed with the Seven was stronger than that need. He made a pact with Chris
Larabee, that should he die Chris would collect the bounty. He felt that by
having the bounty collected by a friend, he got the last laugh.
W - Wickes from Working Girls
was the owner of Wickestown, which was a tent-city brothel that supplied
prostitutes and liquor to the ranchers.
X – 'Xtreme action-packed episodes
that left us hanging on the edge of our seats and anxiously awaiting the next
week's installment. From gun battles, fist fights, explosions, horse chases,
and hangin’s, the fans enjoyed each and every exciting episode!
Y - Yates, the phony Federal
Marshal from Sins of the Past who was really the right-hand man of Eli
Joe and was sent to capture Vin Tanner.
Z - Zealous Missionary, Owen
Mosley, from Manhunt, who became outraged when his daughter, Claire
Mosley ran away with her Indian lover (and secret husband), Chanu. When Mosley
learned of the baby Claire was carrying he killed her in a fit of rage.

Bill Gates arrives at the port heaven and hell. Peter says, "Bill, we don't know
what to do with you, so you can choose if you want to go to heaven or hell."
Bill
peeks into heaven and sees a couple of old, boring men sitting at a table. Bill
takes a look into hell and sees really beautiful women, sex, drugs, rock and
roll, and most of all gambling.
Impressed, Bill says, "I am a gambling man. I want to go to hell!"
Once
in hell, Bill is immediately thrown into the fire. As he's burning in the
flames, Bill shouts, "Hey! What is this?!! I saw all the gambling, the women,
and the sex."

A guy
named Joe finds himself in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and he's in
serious financial trouble. He's so desperate he decides to ask God for help. He
begins to pray. "God please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get
some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lottery."
Lottery night comes and somebody else wins it.
Joe
again prays. "Please let me win the lottery. I've lost my business, my house and
I'm going to lose my car as well."
Lottery night comes and Joe still has no luck.
Once
again Joe prays. "My God, why have you forsaken me? I've lost my business, my
house and my car. My wife and children are starving. I don't often ask for help,
and I've always been a good servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the lottery
just this one time so I can get my life back in order."
Suddenly, there is
a blinding flash of light as the heavens open, and Joe is confronted by the
voice of God himself. "Joe, meet Me halfway on this. Buy a ticket."

A blackjack dealer and a player with a thirteen
count in his hand are arguing about whether or not it is appropriate to tip the
dealer.
The player says, "When I get bad cards, it isn't the dealer's fault.
Accordingly, when I get good cards, the dealer has nothing to do with it. Why
should I tip him?"
The dealer says, "When you eat out, do you tip the waiter?"
"Yes," the player says.
"Well, that's because the waiter serves you food. I serve you cards, so you
should tip me."
"OK," the player says, "but the waiter gives me what I ask for."

Everyone's Free
(To
Watch The Magnificent Seven)
(Influenced by Everyone’s Free (to Wear Sunscreen))
Written by Katie Bischoff
Ladies
and Gentlemen from the viewers of '99,
watch
The Magnificent Seven.
If I
could offer you only one tip for the future, watching would be it. The
long-term benefits of watching have been proven by the dedication of the
viewers, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own
meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy
the power and beauty of the first 22 episodes. Oh, never mind. You will not
understand the power and beauty of these episodes until your tapes have faded.
But trust me, a few years from now you'll look back at these episodes and recall
in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before the cast and how
great they really were.
Charlotte was not as bad as you imagine.
Don't
worry about the future of the show - we will bring it back. Or worry, but know
that worrying is as effective as trying to get CBS to listen to us by sounding
like a bunch of teeny-boppers. The real troubles for the show are apt to be the
things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 2:30
am on some idle Wednesday, or at 9:00 pm on Friday when you realize you're out
of blank tapes.
Listen
to Josiah, even if his advice scares you.
Drink
at the saloon.
Don't
be reckless with other people's fan fiction. Don't put up with people who are
reckless with yours.
Gamble
- with Ezra, not against him.
Don't
waste your time on being jealous of Mary. Sometimes she likes Chris, sometimes
she likes Gerard…the season is long, and in the end she didn't end up with
either one of them.
Remember the good episodes. Forget the bad ones. If you succeed in doing this,
tell me how.
Keep
your faith in the show. Throw away the form responses.
Never
forget to remember.
Don't
feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. Buck didn't
know what he wanted to do with his life. Josiah still doesn't.
Get
plenty of Vin.
Be
kind to our boys. You'll miss them if they go.
Maybe
Chris and Mary will get together, maybe they won't. Maybe JD and Casey will get
together, maybe they won't. Maybe you'll never get married, like Maude, maybe
you'll never have a chance, like Nathan. Whatever you do, don't congratulate
the producers too much, or berate them either. Their choices are half chance.
So are everybody else's.
Enjoy
your guns. Use them every way you can. Don't be afraid of them, or what they
might do to other people. They're the greatest tools you'll ever own.
Bathe,
even if you have to do it alone.
Read
Vin's poetry, even if he can't.
Do not
read TV Guide, it will only depress you when you can't find a listing for the
show.
Get to
know the Seven. You never know when they may unfortunately be gone for good.
Be nice to the guest stars. They're the best link to the past, and the people
most likely to come back in the future.
Understand that good shows come and go, but with a precious few you should hold
on. Work hard to tape the episodes that mean the most to you, because the older
you get, the more you need the shows you watched when you were young.
Live
in New York City once, but leave before you get labeled a greenhorn.
Live
in California once, but leave before you get labeled as Michael Biehn's stalker.
Travel
- but never alone. Always go with Sheriff Wilmington or
Sheriff Dunne.
Accept
certain inalienable truths: ratings will fall, networks will be stupid, your
show, too, will get old. And when it does, you'll fantasize that when you were
young, ratings were high, networks were smart, and shows were good.
The
Magnificent Seven is good.
Don't
expect anyone else to understand your obsession with the show - but don't hold
it against them. Maybe they watch soap operas. Maybe they watch Friends. But
you never know when they'll come to their senses.
Don't
mess too much with JD's body, or by the time he's 21, he'll
be
dead.
Be
careful whose summaries you buy, but be patient with those who supply them.
There's always someone who's been watching the show longer than you, and knows
just a little bit more. Explaining old episodes is a way to fish them from the
past, wipe them off, and relive the joy of the first time you saw them.
But
trust me on the watching.

Chris Larabee
Vin Tanner
is Chris Larabee's right hand man on the
Montecito's Security force. This former Texas Ranger was under suspicion for
murder until charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence. After which, he
resigned from the Rangers and headed to Las Vegas to start a new life, but he
still continues to search for evidence that will clear his name. His specialty
is weapons and surveillance, which comes in handy with his job at the Montecito.
Vin's Mother died when he was a young boy, after which, he grew up in various
orphanages and foster homes. This soft-spoken man has keen observation skills
and doesn't miss a thing. 
JD Dunne received
his Master's degree in Computer Information Systems at the age of 21 from MIT.
Graduating early and well ahead of his class, the youngest member on Montecito's
Security Team put himself through college, after his mother's death, with
scholarships and money earned doing odd jobs. Wanting an exciting and
interesting job, JD packed up his bags and headed west to Las Vegas. This
computer savvy man is responsible for updating the Montecito's high-tech
security system and currently lives in the same apartment complex as his
(adopted) big "brother" Buck Wilmington.
