Re: Laura (7.18)
Regarding "Coors" bottles, they were probably lookalike labels from Earl Hays Press, which has supplied such things to the industry for many decades. It can be seen on this page: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f8f3aa9d1223f5eb62568aa/t/62632169b0120447ae1d2cbe/1650663798436/EarlHaysPress_Be...

My take was he was saying things in Chinese or Mandarin while he mentally searched for how to say them in English. I thought it was charming!Milton Collins wrote: ↑Fri Feb 27, 2015 9:12 pm What were those little babbling noises James Hong was making?

Re: Forty (7.17)
Is it just me or did it seem like Magnum was a little tough on the babe at the end? He was mad at her because she decided to get the scoop after all? Isn't that kind of her job? And isn't it even more commendable when reporters pursue dangerous stories? I agree. He says she "put him in the middle o...

Re: On the Fly (7.15)
Julie Hagerty did not land a plane in Airplane! There is no comic named "Huey, Dewey and Louie on Vacation". There was a Donald Duck comic named "Vacation Parade" which features those characters, but even its original printing isn't worth much. However, the comic he is holding IS a Whitman comic, wh...

Re: Murder by Night (7.14)
I enjoyed this one. Just touching on some years-old comments in the thread: Where cigarette smoke is drawn into the lungs, cigar smoke is just drawn into the mouth and sometimes the sinuses. And yes, the tobacco is different (different leaves of the plant, and often different strains of plant altoge...

Re: Novel Connection (7.9)
Although aware of different versions, I was still confused by some the comments (Tanaka, karate chop) until I finally learned those are references to the second episode. :) I watched on Amazon Prime, which has the one-and-done version. I did follow up with the MSW episode, though. Regarding Magnum b...

Re: Paper War (7.8)
Enjoyed it. I rated 8.5 but probably should've been a notch higher. If TM had spare keys, why didn't he use them in the first place? I used to watch a lot of demolition videos, and it isn't uncommon for the elevator shaft to remain intact as the rest of the building collapses around it. They are the...

Re: Little Girl Who (7.7)
I didn't find her cold at all. She was suppressing her own feelings and desires for the sake of her daughter. To behave romantically with Thomas would just make it harder for both of them to make the responsible decision.

Re: Professor Jonathan Higgins (5.13)
In regards to a Disneyworld trip, in 1985 a weekend trip would be a 4 - 5 day turnaround, depending on where you are flying from. Our neighbors went every other year in the early 80's. Left Los Angeles on a Thursday morning arriving in Orlando late Thursday night. Then leaving the park Sunday aroun...

Re: L.A. (2) (7.2)
6.5 (Not So Good) (both parts) Dana Delaney is charming and delightful. But the show's a mess. Agreed on the many points in that regard already made. I watched it on Amazon as a two-parter. No hot tub scene. Another weird edit: early in part 2, when they're putting up posters, TC calls to someone an...

Re: Who is Don Luis Higgins? .... (6.19)
I can't disagree about the various plot holes already mentioned, but I did enjoy it. While the opening flashback got the episode to an exciting start, it was a rather elaborate way to simply establish how Don Luis came to be. Narratively speaking, it really wasn't necessary, as we get that informati...

Re: Mad Dogs and Englishmen (6.14)
Despite a preposterous premise I did enjoy this. Well done.
There never was any follow-up on the agents(?) who were pretending to be local police.
I liked the bit where Higgins notices one of the lads has his foot on Thomas', and he realizes they will be okay.

Re: Summer School (6.13)
6.0 Pretty Bad I was not charmed one bit by RJ in performance nor writing. He wasn't even interesting enough to enjoy disliking. If they were going for a "slowly adjust one's fantastical expectations to the realities of the real world" arc for him, they failed. Especially given the coda. It was a no...
