Indeed golf, it's a head-scratcher. Nothing makes sense. It's just more evidence that some kind of teleportation must have been used on the estate!
rubber chicken, thanks. It appears that I've missed "the wall" in several episodes! Jez, after watching hundreds of scenes on the estate, you think you know the place inside and out. And then one day you find out there is a friggin' large cinder block wall, virtually in the middle of the lawn, that you've somehow missed!
If "the wall" is still around in the later seasons, I might just .... I don't know, scream "mystical", or something!

Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!

I didn't recall it either, and I pause the dvd while watching an episode to study every detail of the estate. I must have known it was there at one time. The solution I think is to watch even more Magnum P.I. hehe.
Can I confess something? I'm only one third finished with season 8... Ahh, there, feels good to get that off my chest. I've been spending my "Magnum time" looking for locations mostly, which leaves less time for the actual show. That's also why I don't post here as much as I used to. Plus I got a 40" LCD HDTV recently and for me, Magnum P.I. just isn't the same when viewed digitally. I like watching on normal CRT TVs, which are much more appropriate. But now the old CRT is in another room with less comfy seating. All this has totally messed with Magnum viewing!

RC,
This is where your laptop comes in -- just pop your MPI DVDs in the drive in it, and you can carry it with you wherever . . . . with headphones/earbuds, you can put it on your chest and lie in bed with Magnum (okay, I'm waiting for the quips to THAT I just set myself up for).
golf
No . . . . THAT is the order of the universe!If "the wall" is still around in the later seasons, I might just .... I don't know, scream "mystical", or something!

golf, I think the guesthouse and main house should be switched. This would better explain why Magnum turns right after going through the covered passageway. It, of course, doesn't explain all those scenes at the lanai where the beach/ocean is a stones throw away!golfmobile wrote:

[quote="IslandHopper"]Additional Flubs for J. "Digger" Doyle:
2. This Flub is one of my favorites. After J. Doyle cons her way into Higgins' study and pulls the gun on Magnum and Higgins, she uses the red telephone to call Robin Masters. After a brief conversation with Robin, she hands the phone to Higgins, who speaks to Robin for 7 seconds. From Higgins' 7 second conversation with Robin, Higgins launches into a 61 second, detailed dialogue about the attempt on Robin's life, StarGuard, J. Doyle, Robin's plan to pick-up all of his tapes from one of his estates, etc. During Higgins' dialogue, Magnum interrupts Higgins briefly, but then Higgins continues with his dialogue. The question is: How could Higgins have gotten 61 seconds of very detailed dialogue from a 7 second conversation with Robin? This scene requires you to abandon all logic. I love it.
I believe that Higgins was on the phone with Robin when Magnum first walked into the room after returning to the estate with Digger. Maybe that is why Higgins seemed so rushed and flustered when Magnum was trying to talk to him.

I just watched this episode the other day and noticed another possible flub. When the lads have TC up in the tree, Higgins and Digger drive up in the truck. In that shot you can see Digger come out of the truck with her handgun drawn, in her right hand I believe. Then the camera cuts to TC, then back to Digger and Higgins, with no handgun in sight.
Wasn't this a spin-off episode? Does anyone have an idea why a series starring Erin Grey as Digger Doyle wasn't picked up?
And what is Ms. grey up to these days?
