Re: Season 1 Episode 15: Day the Past Came Back (1.15)

I'm amazed at how much TC and Rick's sun rises with Magnum in this series, and this episode took it to another level. Magnum wasn't the only one put through prisoner hell thanks to Hannah, but all those two can think about is Magnum's feels. Not about getting some payback of their own but making sur...

Re: Season 1 Episode 14: I, The Deceased (1.14)

All that plus the continual music in every scene nonstop gets on my nerves. Reminds me of Star Trek The Neutered Generation. Non stop music and a forever crisis. This is crazy talk. TNG was an awesome show. Hear, hear. Growing up watching the A-Team, I have a real aversion to CGI shootouts. The one...

Re: Season 1 Episode 11: Nowhere to Hide (1.11)

Shades of Beauty Knows No Pain and From Moscow to Maui. Not a bad episode but a lot of the usual scenes. Higgins fights someone. The word 'bro" appears with TM, Rick and TC. Rick and TC are clearly Magnum's associates. Katsumoto argues with and threatens TM but concedes to help TM. Pretty soon we w...

Re: Reboot suggestion...stop explaining everything

"People ask me all the time, 'What's with the ring?' The Cross of Lorraine was the symbol of the French Resistance, but to us, it represented our friendship, and the pact that we made back in the POW camp to always be there for one another." I was so pumped about the explanation. :roll: Is this an ...

Re: Season 1 Episode 10: Bad Day to Be a Hero (1.10)

After seeing Corbin in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang I know he can play a cold-blooded criminal and I like that he's not trying to imitate the original. Katsumoto is one of the show's saving graces IMO ; they should've made this guy Tanaka instead of throwing the part away for a Sung Kang guest-spot. Sure, h...

Re: Season 1 Episode 10: Bad Day to Be a Hero (1.10)

Just another thought. Is this the first of Rick finding a girl and thinking marriage only to have the girl leave at the end??? At least this was a serious consideration of a relationship. Not just a girl, Rick hooks up with Meadow Soprano :lol: I thought the episode was pretty good but I did not li...

Re: Col. Buck Greene

Well that was a waste of Col. Buck Greene. Defanged and declawed Col. Buck Greene. Which was also a waste of James Remar. I like Sung Kang. He was cool as Han in the Fast and Furious films, and in the President in the MADtv Korean soap skits. I definitely liked Lt. Yoshi Tanaka. But I guess they're ...

Re: 1911

Thru purchase and family, I've handled the .45 P220, .40 P229, and 9x19 SP2022. All solid performers, they are. I haven't been to the range in two years thanks to an accelerated nursing program but, when I'm back to making bank, I think I might just see about a 1911. It's possible that we may have a...

Re: Our "Magnum Mania" screen names

My screen name is derived from the comic book fan in me, Batman being one of my favorite superheroes. Some might think the 22 is a play on catch-22 but I was long ignorant of the expression. One of the earliest comic books I remember reading was BATMAN 440 (1989), which also introduced me to Two-Fac...

Re: 1911

Not as a slight to STI but comparing it to the classic Government model seems to indicate that the new show-runners are going for action and flash, maybe even overcompensation given the knocks on Hernandez's height. There are a number of modern 1911 manufacturers whose models are sleek and refined ...

Re: The Lads.....Zeus and Apollo or????

I wouldn't have minded Lasses instead of Lads. Something subtle to distinguish classic and reboot, not that there isn't enough already, but also because Zeus and Apollo were also played by a few actresses as well.

Re: The Trailer

Higgins is actually one of the better parts of the trailer. I was more upset at the portrayal of TC. All that's missing is for him to yell out "MY MAN!" while Thomas does his Human Target thing. The editing could have been better, saving the return of the classic Ferrari until after the Uber crack, ...

Carol is entertaining, but I also did not like nor find her whole storyline plausible. When she throws it back in Magnum's face about manipulation, I found that a bad fit. It comes off as completely negative and underhanded....something you hate a person for........and forces Magnum to defend himse...
