Re: Season 1 Episode 3: The Woman Who Never Died (1.3)
Not her fault but Higgins comes across unkempt to me, quite the opposite of our Higgins. Maybe that's intentional... Magnum shaves & oils his chest now and Higgins is the slob? Women can be slobs too YOU SEXIST MONSTER!! ;) I think perhaps that's what they're getting at, in a very heavy-handed way.

Re: New MPI Reboot Gimmick Idea..
Some actors are irreplaceable in a role. This is one such case. Yes. It's difficult to think of anyone, although I'm open to suggestions, who could fill that role. It wouldn't have to be an actor who was physically like JH, but it would need to be someone with the same presence, charm, gravitas (ar...

Re: Season 1 Episode 2: From The Head Down (1.2)
Quick post-episode thoughts: * A little better tonight, I think it was simply a better story. A little over the top at the end. * I'm not sure how to feel about TC yet, I didn't understand his logic of threatening the gun-toting guys with a baseball bat. * The dinner scene - oh no, is Higgins alread...

Re: Who’s watching tonight?
The ambulance scene...Who in their right mind pulls up to a place where there is obviously an ambulance and leave your car DIRECTLY IN THE PATH of said ambulance?? This is the kind of stuff that really bothered me about the pilot. It should have been fleshed-out better, more thought put into it, an...

Re: Anyone Watch Pilot but Won’t Watch Again? Or Opposite?
I'm taking it one episode at a time. If I had to predict, and if the show continues as is, I'll watch one or two more episodes.

Re: Season 1 Episode 1: I Saw the Sun Rise - Pilot (1.1)
Well in this day and time, a remake of a show could never be made like the original, without updating it to be politically correct! Case in point, Ms Higgins! Look at Hawaii Five-0, One Day at a Time, Lost in Space, just to name a few! They will change the sex, or race of a character or add new one...

Re: Season 1 Episode 1: I Saw the Sun Rise - Pilot (1.1)
I'm surprised you guys aren't whining about him using a cell phone, because Magnum didn't use one in the 80's show! It's a new show, they are not trying to be the 80's Magnum! I get it, either you like it or not! But the comments about what they do now, that they didn't do in the 80's makes no sens...

Re: Thoughtful video review - this magnum is no opus
Solid review of what’s wrong with the magnum reboot: https://youtu.be/4esCAnHFsg0 Thanks for posting this! It was terrific and pretty much spot on. Although I disagree with his assessment of Rick (original Rick) - I always liked the fact that Rick wasn't much of a fighter (although he could be if p...

Re: Season 1 Episode 1: I Saw the Sun Rise - Pilot (1.1)
Am I the only one who found it odd that an owner of at least 3 Ferraris (2 contemporary and 1 classic) would also own a Lamborghini?
Just another little detail that makes the show feel inauthentic to me.

Re: Who’s watching tonight?
I never made it past the surfski scene. I was so used to seeing Selleck’s ten foot long legs going the length of the thing that Hernandez looked like he was a tiny child sitting inside a duck boat. I started laughing out loud and left for the gym. P.S. Between this and Hawaii 50, Lenkov is fascinat...

Re: Season 1 Episode 1: I Saw the Sun Rise - Pilot (1.1)
Well, I watched it. It was competent, but I don't have much to say about it beyond that. What was said before the broadcast, and I can't remember who said it, but something to the effect of nothing being earned, rings true. They're all friends, even Higgins. No time allotted for the development of m...

I'll be watching with low expectations but an open mind.

Re: Give it a chance
That being said, I'm going to watch the pilot. It doesn't look good to me. It looks like a by-the-numbers (in every way I can think of) reboot. After the pilot, I'll likely forget about it and go back to the original I grew up with. Only "likely"? Are you saying there's a chance you won't forget ab...
