I thought that South Park's version of Great Expectations was very scintillating. It really showed that South Park's writers are very creative and can still throw a good curve-ball at its audience every once and a while. Malcolm McDowell was the narrator and the setting was kind of like Master Piece Theatre. The story line, for the most part, stood true to the book. As far as I can remember all the names and events were correct, that is until the end. South added a nice, witty twist to the end, most likely to keep there normal view audience awake. The alter ending goes as thus: Ms. Havisham's whole plot was to have Estella break as many young boys hearts. She wanted all the tears of the broken hearted boys so she could run her "Genesis" machine. (a machine that would meld Estella and Ms. Havisham's soul together so she could break men's hearts forever) Well Pip, Mr. Pocket, Joe, and Pip's benefactor go to over to Ms. Havisham's house to beat the He)) out of her and ruin any plans of her and her "Genesis" machine. When they get there she releases her robotic monkeys, and it is truly a battle of epic proportions. While the gang is fighting of the robotic monkeys, Pip is desperately trying to convince Estella that she does have a heart. Well, after 25 baby rabbits necks being broken by Estella (Pip was trying to show her that a person with a heart wouldn't kill a baby rabbit) Pip finally succeeds and old Ms. Havisham and her house burn down to the ground. All in all this parody was very captivating, especially to someone who has read the book before, and proves that South Park can capture the very greatness of Charles Dickens....
