Re: Rapture (6.11)

"very good" Like some, I don't care for supernatural stuff, but I just have to accept it's part of the MPI universe and go with it. Terrible SCUBA safety discipline. Thomas and T.C. wander away from each other---always keep your buddy in sight! Then he goes on two more dives solo! C'mon, Magnum, you...

Re: Blood and Honor (6.10)

8, Pretty Good The overlook by the tunnel--isn't that the same spot where a kidnapping exchange took place a few episodes back? If so, it was paved in the interim. Also, it seems they enter and exit from the same side of the tunnel. :) The Admiral's voice was dubbed for the entire episode. Every sin...

6.5 Not So Good.

I know it's "a silly one", but it didn't win me.

Re: Paniolo (6.8)

I rated 8, although now I wish I'd rated 7.5. It was entertaining enough, but I generally agree with all the criticisms already mentioned. I know they do this a lot (giving Rick or TC something to do in the episode), but TC providing vital information to the plot over the phone that he obtained off-...

Re: The Hotel Dick (6.5)

Not So Good. As marlboro stated, the attempt at farce didn't work. On one hand it was trying to be comedy, and on the other serious. It's neither fish nor foul. Clyde's over the top performance grated. I do like the theme of Thomas' crisis of purpose. And I agree the final freeze frame was fun and e...

Re: The Kona Winds (6.4)

rating: 6.5 (Not So Good) I do not buy the "Kona winds" conceit. It's a cop-out on the part of Magnum, and on the part of the writers. DAMN is he stupid in this episode. He doesn't even figure it out himself: it takes a random encounter with Big Ed to clue him in. And once again there's this bizarre...

Re: Deja Vu (2) (6.2)

I liked it well enough, but I have many of the qualms that have already been mentioned. If Geoffrey didn't want photographic evidence of him being in those countries at those times to exist, then 1) he shouldn't have taken them in the first place, 2) he shouldn't have written the name of the secret ...

Re: A Pretty Good Dancing Chicken (5.22)

Found it on the high end of average. Agreed on the improbabilities, but it kept me entertained. He almost smacked that other car that was pulling out of the parking lot when he backed up to take the other parking space. Rick and TC's embarrassment at being in a lingerie shop was perhaps the most imp...

Re: Torah, Torah, Torah (5.21)

I enjoyed it, thought it was fairly solid. Good characterizations and dialog. The Rabbi/Higgins backstory was touching. Tanaka was fun. In current times, I'm wanting them to be wearing masks if Tanaka has the flu. The peppermint schnapps didn't seem to work! The Google maps link to the Shelby house-...

Re: The Man From Marseilles (5.20)

7, although I could be convinced to give it a 7.5 The Tanaka scene is present in the Amazon Prime version. Has anyone transcribed an English translation of the French dialog? I was just asking a few episodes ago about whether the Jimmy was even still around, given Magnum rented a car instead of usin...

Re: Ms. Jones (5.19)

7.5. Higgins obviously is already very familiar with the chess moves in question, given that he recognized them, so it doesn't make sense that he'd need her to show them to him. If she saw them in a magazine, then they're publicly recorded and he could find them as well. Higgins wouldn't need to sto...

Re: Let Me Hear the Music (5.18)

I gave it a 8.5, but if there were a 8.25 I'd have selected that. The fight someone said was unconvincing, I found rather realistic for a couple of middle-aged guys whose prime sh*t-kicking days were behind them. And given how they reconciled so easily, they didn't really want to fight. Granted, it ...

Re: The Love-For-Sale Boat (5.17)

None of the main characters were accepting human trafficking nor taking it lightly. They were all quite clear in their disapproval, and Higgins was "deprogramming" them after all.

Re: All For One (2) (5.16)

Funny how editing works out: Part 1 apparently came up short, hence the extended teaser and end credits.

THIS one probably has the shortest end credits of the series! ;)
