Re: Theme Song

I was thinking the other day, it would be a fun "nod" if that in the first episode someone was watching TV where you couldn't see the screen but you heard the original theme playing.

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)

I keep thinking of the scene in "A Little Bit of Luck... A Little Bit of Grief", ... http://magnum-mania.com/images/6_20_a_full.jpg I was trying to remember which episode TC wears this Alabama A&M T-Shirt. I grew up next door to this school and could hear their band practice before football games. ...

Re: Magnum P.C.

I cringe when people start tossing the "politically correct" bomb around. I hate when people use that term to describe anything that's new, and anything that doesn't tie to their expectations or to their norms. I also really hate it when people toss that term around like a crutch to excuse themselv...

Re: Who does Magnum end up with?

I'd say the lovely Linda Lee is the obvious answer. Although one of my favorite TM relationships was in "Little Games". There was definitely chemistry between TM and Krista Villaroch. Besides Michelle, there weren't too many ladies that affected Magnum like she did. It's certainly one of my favorite...

Re: The Magnum PI reboot thoughts

It really does stress me out to think about the remake. My only reprieve is to keep my expectations at zero and to remember that I can't do much if anything about it anyway. I cannot think of a way, in the modern TV environment, for anyone to capture what the show was in the 80s, the stories, the fr...

Re: Try to Remember (2.15)

I always liked this episode, particularly because of the strong introduction of LT Tanaka. There is a lot of good chemistry between him and TM, carried mostly by Kwan Hi Lim. He was a cool cat and good detective. Love it when he extorts TM's Detroit hat in the end.

Re: The Woman on the Beach (2.3)

Just re-watched this episode again, and it is still one of my least favorite episodes. For all the excitement over Judith Chapman, she is squarely the reason I don't like this episode. She definitely seems a soap opera actress. Plus it is a fairly hookie story line. The whole Rick thing, the charade...

Re: The Black Orchid (1.16)

Dumb plot. This was a "good" character for Judith Chapman who seems to be a renowned Soap Opera star. I really don't like either episode she was in. That being said, the whole "Mable Dodge" build up leads to a real classic ending. Love it!

Re: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (1) (1.1)

I've been re-watching all the episodes starting with the Pilot of course. I think they did a great job with the pilot introducing characters and showcasing the island, tying into Vietnam and the "Team". Classic Magnum themes and narration. One of the things I love about the Magnum character is he ki...

Re: Sherlock BBC/PBS Masterpiece

I'm watching and agree that they need to get back on point with the writing.

I did enjoy the tie-ins to The Sign of Four!

Quite so! That was an excellent guess. This photo was taken in Makaha at her Menehune Surfing Championship. She was battling cancer at the time.
