Magnum’s Age

#1 Post by T.Q. »

Big part of Magnum was also that he was mid-30s and hit 40 in Season 7.

There was a lot to the character that dealt with the conflict with staying a big kid and growing up and maturing.

Something else lost with the casting of a kid in the new role.

Just musing.
Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.

Hopefully they will keep that same story line. Hernandez, should he become the new Magnum, is 40 but looks like he could still do an early 30's Magnum :)

They'll just have to update the quote:

"It wasn't anything earth shattering. I woke up one day, age 23, and realized I'd never been 13."

Ah, it's all relative. My 38-39 y.o. self goes back to nursing school to listen to my classmates complain about being 27-28. :roll:
