Definitively something a bit different this time out. The fourth season seems a little more experimental than the first three.
I agree with the posters above that the explanation as to why magnum coudn't just drive his own car back was poorly handled. A simple line of dialog such as "I could barely see straight, so there was no way I was getting behind the wheel of a Ferrari" would have been sufficient.
The highlight of the episode was the fight scene. Very well done. I am a big fan of the The Wild Wild West television series, and it has spoiled me for exciting fight choreography. This was the best fight scene in Magnum so far. I wonder why there haven't been more? Selleck was clearly athletic enough to pull it off.

A minor point, but I think the terrorist group actually wanted to make sure the handover took place.
One confusing aspect for me: what the heck did the kid playing on TC's Pop Warner football team have to do with the terrorists? Magnum made a big deal of that clue, but they never explained anything about it at all.
