Good episode. I like the way Magnum played on the Admiral's sense of honor at the end to get him to do the right thing. Nice touch. I also liked the way they dealt with the Japanese experience in post Pearl Harbor Hawaii. A minor flub was Higgins' use of the camera - he was holding it incorrectly. S...

It's also great to see Henry Gibson visiting the islands. Despite his long career, my favorite role of his will always be Dr. Werner Klopek in The `Burbs. ( "My brother...the Dok-tor!" ) There's a nice scene where Ronald finally begins to tip his hand, and you can literally see Magnum's little voic...

I've finally been able to watch some more episodes - such fun! I live in Austin, which is the very eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country. No one in town dresses or talks like that, but I'm sure that many of those stereotypes were a bit more closer to home back when this was filmed, especially out i...

Haven't been able to watch any Magnum for awhile, so I'm glad to be back. :D I liked the plot, even though the pace and action were a bit lagging. The bit at the end when Higgins keeps on his poker face while being disappointed with Ashley, and then lights up a cigarette in relief that she was accom...

I only noticed this flub last night...... When Magnum is helping Higgins get dressed for the Commodore's Ball, Higgins remarks that he will be home late and will try not to "downshift and accelerate" as he passes the guest house and wake him up so as to make a point to Magnum about how he is always...

Higgins was pretty funny in this one. Rehearsing his lines and then blowing it when she comes in the house was priceless, as was Magnum getting flustered in his underwear in front of the girl and Higgins.

One other thing I noticed - this was the first time the show began without any coming attractions before the theme and standard opening sequence. Maybe that is just the DVD, or maybe it's because this was originally shown as a TV movie (according to the MM website).

Very good episode(s) in my opinion. I thought the plot was very well thought out and the angle with Catholicism was done very well (her being devout and placig the rules of the Church on marriage above her own desires). One flub I noticed - when Magnum walks into the church at the end, his top butto...

Okay, I have a question of logic here. After Thomas meets Michelle at the chapel, he apparently brings her back to the guest house at Robin's Nest, at which point we pick them up and he's in the shower. WHY???? He hadn't done anything sweat-worthy at the chapel, and I am guessing that he cleaned up...

Thanks for the info about Michell's Frence ancestry - that makes sense. I did a little more digging about the rules for wearing the surface warfare and SEAL indentifiers, what the Navy refers to as insignia. Additionally, these two insignia are "warfare" insignia (i.e., surface and special operation...

Regarding the SEAL and surface warfare badge switches, my guess is that the writers either made a mistake or didn't really understand what they meant. Here are some possibilities as well: If a Navy officer has earned multiple badges, must he wear them all on his dress uniform or does he have a choic...

I liked this episode for a variety of reasons. One, because of the historical context of the Cold War that many younger people dont't even understand. Two, because the plot involved all the characters. Third, because of the very quick, but classic scene at the bar when Magnum and buddies look over a...

When I was in high school (when Magnum PI was first being run on TV), my "plan" was to be a merchant marine engineer, drive a Ferrari, and possibly live in Hawaii. Well, none of that quite happened, although I did get a degree in engineering and I have had some decent cars. I have visited HI a numbe...

I loved the stuff about the goat. For me, these little sideshows that have nothing to do with the main story, but that add texture to the characters and their relationships with one another, are what add some extra appeal to the series. Another thing no one noted was that Magnum took the case pro bo...

Oh, the name is Tod. MM is a character in a famous book. I'll update my sig a bit later. That name, or "Bob" Sanders actually rings a bell. Wow, that's terrible about the crash. Judging from the date, it must have happened within a couple months after I met him. I recall that he was very excited abo...
