I agree Doc, Very nice analysis. Also, remember the 7th season was originally going to be the last. They were also using the episode to pull back old episodes and ideas to recap the series. I thought it was done brilliantly. This is one of my all time favorites. I would love to know how the ripper k...

Donald Bellasario began working on other projects seeing Magnum was coming to an end. Selleck stepped in and the rest is history...

I hear a lot of people criticize Amazon but I have never had a problem with them. Not once. It may depend on where you live. I live in a major metro area. Anyway, hang in there James. I like the opening of Death and Taxes where Rick, TC, and Magnum are coming from the front of the boathouse. Its rar...

I received my DVD for season 7 yesterday and watched Death and Taxes this morning. What a great episode! You can tell by the tone of the episode that we're in the 'Magnum is growing up' phase of the show. That aside, this one keeps you guessing. The madman has a team ring and knows about Le Boule (f...

Grape, It seemed to me that almost anyone could get a guest spot on MPI back then. Look at the group who appeared over the years. I think they just searched for a British actor who was about the right age who was available. That probably narrowed it down quite a bit. McShane did a great job in my op...

IH, You and I noticed the same thing going on with the coin. To me it was obvious once we saw Cooper get his coin collection out to place the new coin in. It wasn't like he was surprised that he needed that coin. It was more like a sinister "I have what I want" kind of look. Will Selleck be able to ...

Golf and friends, I'm curious to see if any of you got the same feeling I did about the poker game. It seemed to me that Cooper may have a dark side. I felt like the implication was that he lured the girl into the game all along in hopes of taking the coin in the game. The taking of the coin may be ...

I also thought the the Cadillac was more recent than 1976. I noticed this years ago and it stuck out to me. My memory was more reliable then... This is a great episode. I like how it develops the Higgins character. I also like how it gives some insight to the estate pre-Magnum. The Holmes & Watson a...

Thanks for all the dialog and the screenshot of Larry wearing the ring! How cool was that?!!! Friday was the first time that I watched Vegas and will probably be the last unless Roger and Larry reappear. What a lousy script... That show was weaker than any MPI episode! The ONLY thing good was Tom, R...

OK, what did TC going to Morocco have to do with the show? It seems like it is completely disjointed. I know it was the result of Rick getting him a 'deal' on his airfare to London but other than that it makes no sense with the rest of the episode. I like the fact that Higgins apparently has a heart...

Can you say, "PREDICTABLE"? I saw the end of this episode coming from a mile away! I felt like I had already seen this one before it originally aired. I could have written a better one than this and that's not saying much...

The only thing good about this episode is that Cassie Yates was not in it!

Goldie was annoying but not as much as the 2 characters played by Cassie Yates in Kiss of the Sabre and Photo Play! I know there is no real connection between a Magnum type of character and a Goldie. But I do remember being in High School and I had some friends that I had nothing in common with. I d...

Let me begin by saying I like all the seasons of MPI. I also have to say that season 6 was a little wierd for me. To me, it drifted. There were some great episodes and some not so great ones. It was a strong season but I believe it started the "Magnum must grow up now" phase of the series. It was in...

I have to say that Cassie Yates is the worst guest actor ever on the show. I know she plays annoying characters but she does it in such an irritating way. Most of the characters make you like them eventually despite their flaws. Cassie's characters make me want to hang myself ala Scrunjo in Luther G...

Respectfully, I think you guys are missing the point. If RJ had been a good kid and never got into mischief, there would have been no point in making the episode. After all, Higgins was to teach RJ some discipline. Its also a little funny if you think about RJ as a young anti-Magnum the same way Lut...
