As already mentioned - for me, this episode is the parade example how they somewhat exaggerated TSM being slightly too intuitive regarding his inner voice - he wakes up, doesn't even know what's phase in the hood, and is already sure he's in great danger. Sometimes, he's a nuance too much of psychic...

Hi again, long time no see ^^ When Magnum goes to talk to Nick Frangakis (The Nam veteran) and they first meet, Frangakis is holding a M16 - they exchange some words in Vietnamese. Does anyone know what they say to each other? I have no idea what Magnum is trying to say. I don't think his Vietnamese...

You know you're an MPI fan when ... ... you start forming your thoughts into inner monologues and wonder why you never actually hear them. ... you tell about past events as if they were "war stories" (like "... this reminds me of my short stay in Romania in 2014, it was an extraordinarily hot, yet ...

Well, he turned 40 in Season 7, I believe in an episode set in 1987, so doesn't that kind of settle it? Plus, it fits in with the fact that in the Pilot, which takes place in 1980, he refers to having dropped out of the Navy because he realized he was 33 without ever having been 23....33 in 1980 is...

Unfortunately, TV shows do a lousy job in continuity and Magnum is no exception. There were two dates of births as I recall used over the course of the series. It's sloppy but shows just don't realize that fans notice and keep track of this stuff! :} Yes they did, but consider the series was made a...

What about Cynthia? I mean, there was not a lot of women on the show managing to make Magnum forget about Michelle. Finding a proper naval base in California cannot be this hard, and Cynthia can continue doing her job. But I don't know about her "mom skills" ...

No, that was Germanwings.

A linguistic detail that could be added to the "fun fact" list: Tran Quoc in Vietnamese would actually be pronounced like "chan-quook" and means "defense of the homeland". There is also a pagoda called Tran Quoc in Hanoi. I don't know if this is a coincidence ("let's just make up a name sounding typ...

... the series runs in german television for the most part every year. this is one of the reasons, why tom selleck is recognizable for commercials ... He's at least recognizable to people who have time to watch it in late night TV ... I'd bet I'm not the only one of the post-1990-born generation wh...

We do, since I know at least a couple of German MPI fans born after 1990. And even if the younger ones mostly might not know the series itself, at least the theme is recognized instantly by everyone.

I'm not sure with Rick and T.C., but I'm quite sure their age was never mentioned. It's obvious they must be about Magnum's age, but it's never said. In real life Manetti (Rick) was born in 1943 and Mosley (T.C.) in 1938. UPDATE: I'm watching Season 7 on DVD and in "Death of the Flowers" Rick revea...

TSM's age is not clarified with absolute certainty since there are different birth dates shown and mentioned throughout the series. They all go from 1944 to 1947. You can possibly base yourself on the birth year 1946, since he said he was 33 when leaving the navy ("... I was 33 and realized I have n...

Nice one, thanks a lot!
