Oh _ MY _ GOD!! IT'S A BLOODY GAUGE!
That made me laugh.
Also the way Thomas said "I didn't" (try to polish it with spit)... he sounded like a little boy who was just told off by his dad.
What a beautiful (steady) girlfriend he had in this episode. I nearly got a bit jealous. Such a shame they never used her or the character again.
When Higgins was shot by Katrina, it literally made me jump. I jumped up so much that I woke up my dog who was sleeping next to me on the sofa.
But generally that episode was just so-so...

Just watching this one again now - here'a useless bit of trivia for us. I recognised the old Italian lady that TM grabs and puts in the boot of the car when she walks out of the kitchen to feed the cats.
It's the same woman who played Joey's Grandma in an episode of Friends when he was supposed to be on an episode of Law & Order.
As I said, useless info. - but jeez, she played an old woman in bit parts for almost 20yrs

was that TC breaking the 4th wall in the chopper when Magnum told him to take off? Sure looked like it.
My only real disappointment is not seeing Mimi in a bathing suit...........me-ow. Fun fact....she had breast reduction early in her career because she was constantly being upstaged by her girls when trying to get work. Not that she reduced all of them, but I can only imagine how she looked before.... Always one of my favorite strong women.

That actress also played Mother Superior in the horror film Silent Night, Deadly Night. She was a very well respected acting teacher in Los Angeles and when she died the Directors Guild hosted her memorial. I think she tutored a lot of soap actors. For some reason, the name Kin Shriner pops in my head, maybe Jackie Zeman. The General Hospital bunch! I can't remember her name, but I see her on stuff like The Bob Newhart Show and Magnum and I smile because I will always remember her as the world's meanest nun!steveadl wrote:Just watching this one again now - here'a useless bit of trivia for us.

I just rewatched this episode and really enjoyed it. I'm a big Ann Dusenberry fan (and I'm on her Facebook). She is so lovely. I also liked the bit at the end where everyone thought they were watching a play... Pretty wild play!
Also, not sure anyone's commented, but Dusenberry's character talks about watching Robin, her father and Higgins play chess. We were talking about RM and whether or not he was Higgins and this complicates it. Not that I thought he was Higgins, but it makes for a good argument against Higgy baby as RM.
Katrina truly was a 'froot-loop'.
Great scene where JQH, after being shot by Katrina, asks Zeus to answer the phone.
I love the 'Lads'. After reading Larry Manetti's book 'Aloha Magnum' and in particular the section where he talks about the fact that at one stage, the show's producers were thinking of getting rid of the dogs. Apparently Tom Selleck wouldn't have any of it. He knew how important the 'lads' were to the fans. Speaks volumes to the character of Selleck.

I'm sure he had plenty of real-life experience.robspace54 wrote:The struggle between Selleck and Montana looked pretty darn real to me...
Changing the ssubject there's a tiny detail that irks me. On some episodes, including this one, MAgnum says "Ta" to Higgins, meaning "Bye". But "Ta" means "Thanks", not "Bye". Bye would be "Ta-ta".
Perhaps I'm alon in this one, but I find Mimi Rogers pretty annoying here.

I think I read somewhere that Montana actually damaged his throat for awhile in the struggle. Could be wrong. I didn't mind Mimi. I think she did a good job playing the straight, yet skeptical but understanding part. I thnk there's something to be said for someone questioning the whole Sicily adventure, but then saying, I trust my instincts on you.Croix de Lorraine wrote:I'm sure he had plenty of real-life experience.robspace54 wrote:The struggle between Selleck and Montana looked pretty darn real to me...

The PLace Kicks at the end is the perfect way to end the episode
Re: Italian Ice (2.16)
Sure looked like it to me, I thought it was great! Don't recall seeing TC doing it anywhere else, though not saying it's impossible, only that I don't recall seeing it.Seaver41 wrote:was that TC breaking the 4th wall in the chopper when Magnum told him to take off? Sure looked like it.
Cracked me up when TM got in the chopper on the roof, and TC was expecting his paying fare, that would be a good vid clip to find and post, TC's reaction that is..
"C'mon TC...nothing can go wrong!"
Re: Italian Ice (2.16)
TC does it once in season one about magnum owing him something. Something along the lines of "Does it ever occur to you..."308GUY wrote:Sure looked like it to me, I thought it was great!

T.C. says hello.
Higgins: It's not a scratch! It's a bloody gouge!

Re: Italian Ice (2.16)
Hi,
I have to say that this is my favourite episode of Magnum, the one I always seem to go back to. So many great moments, and Mimi Rogers was indeed a very hot lady.
Two things I want to comment on though...
I remember watching this when I was a kid (I was born in 1976 so I was very young). I remember thinking, even then, how dumb it was that the baddie had to have the same Ferrari as Magnum, even down to the colour. It just seemed a stupid plot device (they are terms I think in now, back then it was "how did magnum drive his car to Italy? Oh hang on, it isn't his car? huh?)
The second thing I want to comment on is the thing that always annoys me in this episode is when Mimi Rogers kisses the student, for what seems like forever, in her acting class. It was so over the top, I doubt that any drama teacher would do that (can you imagine the fuss that would be made if a male drama teacher did that to a female student) I know the student probably enjoyed it (!) but I think it was really over the top. Magnum just standing there with a dumb smile on his face while it was happening was also weird. Other than that I really love the episode. Oh...possible flub...TC tells the baddies flying in the helicopter that it will take an hour to fly to Robins Nest. Before that Magnum tells his girlfriend to wait outside while he speaks to Higgins. When Magnum comes out to see her after TC flys over. So Magnum was in there for an hour??? Seemed a long time....
Anyway, great episode.

Re: Italian Ice (2.16)
Good catch on the missing hour.
The only thing I can think of is that going to Robins Nest would take them over their allotted flight, so he was charging them an extra hour?
Or, as you put it, a flub!
