In rewatching this episode, does anyone know the signifigance of the face on the lemons that Magnum used for target practice? It seems really bizarre that he'd draw smiley faces on the lemons when he was this intense through all but the opening scene of the episode.

I just rewatched this one on the season 8 DVD set with the commentary. I thought that the commentary would distract me from a lot of what I disliked about the episode. I was wrong as the creative consultant had, seemingly, not watched much of the show in the 20 years or so they had been off of the a...

I got it about a month or so ago and really enjoyed it. There's probably a few different threads on here about it, but one more can't hurt anything.

Oops! I never noticed that.

I wonder if JJ will qualify it as a flub?

- It looks like the posts here are saying that we didn't know Magnum was going to come back for an 8th season when this aired? I'm so glad they did, I don't think killing him off would have been a good way to end the show. This is correct. Originally, the people involved with the show (Tom Selleck ...

Just watched this one again thinking I may enjoy it better and, sadly, I did not. The story was just too strange and hard to follow for me. The plot was really, really contrived. You had Magnum just pulling up to a random funeral for no real reason, having images of (I presume) his ancestor and the ...

I know there's been many threads about this subplot from the later years of the series. It's a subplot that has always bothered me and has been debated about on here for years. I think there needs to be a case about this. Granted, we'll never know for sure what they may have eventually done to resol...

On Magnum's wall in the kitchen area was a painting of a, very clearly, nude woman. In "Tiger Fan" when he gets the call about Tanaka being killed it is extremely visible in the close up shot.

I thought the epsilon did explain Rick and the boat? He was using the boat as a venue for illegal gambling for some shady characters. I meant more along the lines of they didn't explain why Rick was doing that. They alluded to his betting on sports and having connections that could tell him about a...

-- Is it just me or is Rick a better friend in this one than TC? I realize that TC is trying to reconnect with family but he just seems disinterested where Rick pretty much rearranged his life to be around Thomas as I would think a genuine really good friend would do. I guess though at the end TC d...

I was watching an episode of Blacksheep Squadron on ME TV when the B plot popped up and made me take notice. The B plot was the exact main plot of "Operation: Silent Night" of Magnum P.I. fame. The Blacksheep Squadron guys were shot down on an island occupied by the Japaneese as well as a Swiss nun ...

-In the 30 seconds TC and Magnum got off the chopper and went over to the abandonded campground, the two juvenille delinquents were able to see that the chopper had been left vacant, run up to it, and jack it? Not very realistic. My guess would be that they could hear the chopper coming for a while...

I wonder if TM was stationed in Hawaii with the NIA after returning from Vietnam? He seemed to know a lot of navy personnel while a private investigator, so it stands to reason that he was in command of a desk or off on missions in the Far East. They heavily implied that Magnum was stationed at Pea...

Magnum had a lot of instances where something would suddenly click and the whole case or situation was crystal clear to him. Sometimes it was done for laughs and he'd walk away while Higgins was in mid story. Sometimes it was serious and he got out of a dangerous situation in the nick of time. What'...

I enjoyed some of the shows that were set up as flashbacks to events prior to the series' launch, for example "Holmes is Where the Heart Is." Using that format, I would've liked to have seen some episodes that show us how Robin Masters and Magnum first crossed paths, or of how Higgins and Robins di...
