Re: Pixar

Came across this other Magnum PI trailer from Pixar via TikTok. No clue what it is. Would somebody know more? https://www.tiktok.com/@chrismonroe84/video/7285141494191639839 Looks like somebody just playing around with some AI digital animation software. It's fun, but the characters really don't re...

Re: Bridget or Carol?

Oh, Laura Holt. Man, I would love to see Remington Steele again. Unfortunately it's available only on Amazon Prime Video, and I don't have access to that. Stephanie Zimbalist as Laura Holt is near the top of my list. In that case, your first episode to review should be "Second Base Steele" from sea...

Re: Momentum Sea Quartz 30

My watch arrived today. Very satisfied with one exception, seconds hand hits between the markers. Kind of expected this as many others have stated the same thing. Love the quick change spring bars. Haven’t sized the bracelet yet which is what it came on but changed to the tropic strap I also ordere...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

Hey Styles. I don't remember a backstory for the GMT in the reboot. Oh, and I agree with the others about the scratches on the aluminum bezel. It's character and sign of a life lived. One day in the future, your dog will be long gone and you'll look down at your wrist and hold back a tear when you ...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

Have to agree that the Apple Watch wouldn't be Magnum's watch. As already mentioned, the flashing screen and alerts are bad news for a stealthy lifestyle. The GPS capability can be problematic too, as your location can be traced (I think I remember reading that deployed soldiers can't have a watch w...

Re: Screen Used Magnum, P.I. Car

Interesting auction. From the TV series Magnum PI driven by Tom Selleck in the episode Flashback in 1982. This Bugatti kit car is built off a VW engine and it’s custom made by Universal Studios for Tom Selleck to be driven in Magnum PI TV Series. It can be seen featured throughout the episode and is...

Re: Buying a Rolex or Chronosport

My Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT arrived earlier today, I sized the bracelet a few hours ago. My initial impressions are highly positive. It's really comfortable to wear and the look is tremendous. I opted for the aluminium bezel because I usually like that look more than the glossier appearance of a cera...

Re: Kenji the Gardener

Great analysis Styles! Thank you. It does seem that his character was trying to be developed in season 5… to no avail. Indeed. The housekeeper that is also in these scenes in Season 5 is interesting, because she so closely resembles the "Kumu" character in the Magnum Reboot. I think they have a Ken...

Re: Kenji the Gardener

And finally, his appearance in Ms Jones, where he's helping Higgins prune the coconut trees. Still no credit or much of a clue who this actor is. The best close up appears to be the one in Blind Justice that I originally posted - I guess that's why it struck me when I saw it. https://i.ibb.co/4Y12WD...

Re: Kenji the Gardener

Here he is with the housekeeper holding The Lads in "Little Games." Incidentally, I think the note that Kenji appears in "Computer Date" is wrong. I've gone through the whole thing and he doesn't appear anywhere. It seems that they tried developing him as more of a recurring character in Season 5 bu...

Re: Kenji the Gardener

Here he is in "Echoes of the Mind" and it looks to be the same actor. He doesn't get any lines or credits, although Higgins mutters something to him in Japanese. Note that his appearance is in Part 1 of the episode, not Part 2 as it is noted in the episode guide (plus, his name is spelled wrong). ht...

Re: Kenji the Gardener

Out of curiosity, I'm going to look up these scenes with Kenji to see if there are any others that show his face.

This is the best we get from "No Need to Know."

Re: Bridget or Carol?

I guess the show was ahead of its time. :lol: That's all you see these days. :( I'm not so sure. The early 80s was exploding with strong female characters. Single moms were everywhere and were starting to make serious money outside the home. All the networks were under pressure to have strong women...
