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

The only thing I have to add is that there really were a number of instances throughout the series where a close-up of someone's hands were clearly not the hands of the actor in question. This was common procedure in TV shows back then - to save time and so that important main actors don't have to ...

Re: Mad Buck Gibson (2.9)

Running through the series again after a several year hiatus. This is one of those episodes I'm liking more the second go 'round. First was kinda meh, nothing special but for whatever reason I enjoyed it a lot more this time. Two flubs, maybe: 1 - Since the show sometimes plays fast and loose with g...

Re: The Taking of Dick McWilliams (2.10)

Average at best for me. I'm going through the series for the first time in a few years and sometimes on a rewatch, an episode I originally didn't think much of for is more appealing ... but not here. Flub: As Magnum and TC chase the ransom car(s) into the tunnel, they fly to the other side and are c...

Re: Computer Date (2.14)

here is the thing about "built like ..." or "built like a brick ..." As others have mentioned, it comes from the phrase "built like a brick outhouse/$?!t house" based on outhouses being typically rather flimsy structures, but one made of bricks would be extraordinarily "well-built", implying the phy...

Re: Ghost Writer (2.12)

another security camera flub, besides the well-known one of the so-called ceiling mounted camera giving us a shot of Magnum at the door from about three feet off the floor ... the video feed the security officer watches as the ceiling mounted camera pans about the room is without any doubt what so e...

Re: Lest We Forget (1.10)

I just watched this ep last night and of course noticed the altered aspect ratio of the Tora! Tora! Tora! shots at the end. I'm at work right now and will check when I get home, but I really seem to remember that the T!T!T! scenes in the tease had the proper aspect ratio. I notice altered aspect rat...

Re: Never Again ... Never Again (1.7)

This seems to be a question of citizenship more than anything, kidnapping American citizens would obviously be wrong even for the right reasons but these two were not citizens. Lena and Saul were illegal refugees posing as citizens under fake names and identities. If I recall they did not immigrate...
