Re: Surprised
News: Higgins is going to be female! Well, okay, I guess it'll sort of be like Daniel Craig's Bond and M. Probably get a stateswoman like Helen Mirren or Alice Krige... News: Higgins is going to be played by Perdita Weeks! I can see it now. At least two seasons of "will they, won't they" sexual ten...

Re: Magnum’s Age
Ah, it's all relative. My 38-39 y.o. self goes back to nursing school to listen to my classmates complain about being 27-28.

Re: The Persuaders
The Persuaders had a lasting influence on me, having seen a few episodes as a kid and decades later, with the power of the Interweb, rediscovering the series. It's aged well in that the fashion and production take the modern viewer to a place that's relatable but still lost in time. I usually place ...

Re: Surprised
Coming into and during my middle adulthood, I've been ticked off at a sizable number of adaptations or remakes of literary works I went over in high school and college; video games I played the bejeezus out of; movies, shows, and cartoons I experienced growing up; and my favorite comic book superher...

Re: Possibility of a Magnum PI Open world game?
A Magnum open world game would probably be more third person over the shoulder with elements of cover shooters for staying hidden when breaking and entering locations to find clues or evidence. What small bits of first person play would probably be done for binocular, sniper scope, or 'borrowing Ro...

Re: Possibility of a Magnum PI Open world game?
I suppose I can see an open world game in the vein of GTA: Vice City with a Hawaii to explore and PI cases cropping up alongside misadventures with Higgins, TC, Rick, Robin Masters, et al. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_VBXRZuHTc But I also see Magnum PI as an ambitious action-adventure game in t...

Re: Magnum/Higgins Defining Moment
Going back over the series, I was touched by the scene in Black on White when Higgins related his experience with the Mau Mau Uprising. It was an infrequent moment when Magnum showed earnest interest in Higgins' military background and Higgins in turn did not question Magnum's empathy from his time ...

Re: Re:
Speaking of the opening surf scene, what's up with the "Kid on the Beach" (credited as such) checking out Kacy as she comes out of the water?! http://magnum-mania.com/images/2_8_n.jpg He looks her up and down, bites his lip. What is he like 12! :shock: I watched this episode last night and it is on...

Re: CBS orders Magnum PI pilot!
When I first heard of a female Higgins I figured we'd have a "stateswoman" like Alice Krige. Looking at Perdita Weeks, I'll just say it: Higgins is gonna be a hottie! On the topic of genderbending, I was wondering how someone else besides Higgins would have fared, like TC or Rick. I also thought abo...

Re: The Magnum PI reboot thoughts
While I disliked the Michael Bay Transformers and TMNT, one silver lining is that the modernized outings led to more coverage of the vintage material. Sure, you had merchandise based on the Bay films but there were also more toys - or collectors' items - going around of the classic designs. While I ...

Re: Never Again ... Never Again (1.7)
I was oblivious to the original broadcast's gunshot. It makes sense to me as Lena's "suicide by Magnum" and Magnum acting in self-defense. Even though guns trump knives according to The Untouchables, a knife can be even deadlier than a pistol in a tight space with a small target. But I find TM's sad...

Re: MIAMI VICE
During the 80s I was living in Nigeria and so had very limited exposure to Vice apart from magazines or a few stray episodes. My family vacationed in the States summer of '89 and we saw the Miami Vice Stunt Show at Universal Studios Hollywood. We returned home and my bros. and I frequently watched o...

Re: How old is the average Magnum Maniac?
38 until November. I came into Magnum during the 90s, and eventually returned to it with more appreciation back when Hulu had a good amount of free series.
