Re: Thomas Magnum--wimps out?

Hey, dude, thnx for dropping by. It seems you got out of the wrong side of the bed today. I hope you get more restive sleep and you might also try following your own advice. Have a good day.

Re: Thomas Magnum--wimps out?

Proves nothing. TM became a civilian and is treated as one. Moreover, he probably committed multiple crimes breaking into the base and military property. If he was so detested by top brass as you say, then he would be still in prison today. He even gets promoted by the top brass of all, Commander-i...

Re: Thomas Magnum--wimps out?

It was pretty well established in the pilot that TM was persona non grata with the Navy brass for quitting. His only contacts would likely be personal friends he still had, and even then, as Mac said, he could get in trouble just talking to TM. Ensign Healy said the same in the pilot. I don’t think...

Re: Thomas Magnum--wimps out?

A question for all the fanatic fans out there: Anyone know why MPI decided to rub out Mac's character at this point? Did the actor find he personally had to leave the show or something like that? Mac is such a brilliant character and foil to TM's that his exit seems a great loss. I know the actual ...

Re: Thomas Magnum--wimps out?

TM wimps out but should that be how we view it? NO :magnum: Agreed and thanks for your post. On the face of it, though, TM does wimp out. Unquestionably he does, but if we look more closely, we see he does so strategically. He had no choice: He just lost his main and only source of Naval intel in M...

Re: Thomas Magnum--wimps out?

I guess I'll have to answer my own question. Seemingly TM wimps out but he doesn't care how it might look. He appeases the admiral for strategic reasons--TM suddenly lost his use of Navy intel via his pal Mac, who recently passed away. Without an associate within Naval intelligence, TM will surely h...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

@Chris109, thanks for posting the Pacman pic. Episode Black on White : A scriptwriting triumph. It was shaky at first, seemingly a farfetched story at first but came to be neatly tied together. I thought the acting was particularly good in this episode. And I enjoyed the continued inclusion of Hawai...

Re: Rest in Peace Roger E. Mosley

Sorry to hear Roger Mosley has passed. I didn't realize he had such a great career. He starred opposite Muhammad Ali in "The Greatest" and was on so many TV shows like "Sanford and Son", "Kung Fu", "Kojak", Rockford Files", "Roots: The Next Generation" and many more. He was a pioneer in many ways f...

Re: MAGNUM: SMOKIN’ TOO MUCH WEED!

We all know Magnum enjoys his brew, even some fine wine, but did you know he tokes as well? One must think so by S3E4 Past Tense . Who in their right mind would jog on the center line of a busy highway?! It’s crazy enough to run on the side, as there’s no shoulder there, but in fact the scene clear...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

I know the feeling. Two thoughts: First, over my career my income has looked like a roller coaster (up and down, up and down, and no this is not counting the several periods of unemployment as "down"). Second, a few years ago, when I was unemployed, I called off several job interview processes, bec...

That's a good joke. If anyone tries to tell you otherwise, then you send 'em to me. I'll straighten 'em out.
