[No need to know!]

Superb episode. I only gave it a 9. It´s a 9,5.

This has to be one of the funniest, most bizarre flubs/continuity errors ever. In the surf ski race at the end, Magnum starts the race with his Detroit Tigers cap, but finishes it with his Da Nang cap. What makes this so strange is that Magnum lost his Da Nang cap in the Season Four opener "Home From the Sea" (when he is knocked off his surf ski by a reckless boater). We havn't seen him wear his Da Nang cap since, and yet here we see him suddenly wearing it out of nowhere, in the middle of a surf ski race! It's like he found his lost cap at sea! LOL!

It also looks like the KKC tank top is different. The one in the picture with the Tigers hat is more worn, while the one with the Da Nang hat looks newer.

Don`t you know he has this little secret safe inside his surf ski so he can change cloth at sea, I heard he carried a tux there everytime in case he needs it at the KKC

[No need to know!]

Damn it J.J! You are almost ruin it for me with all the flubs. I have to go with Carmen on this one.

A castle!

What do I win?

It's hard to argue with Coops' identification, but to flesh it out a bit... it's called Château de Roquetaillade, and as the name suggests, it's located in France (SE of Bordeaux, right here). I'm guessing an overworked editor mistakingly used the wrong castle in the show's recreation of actual events, because this castle is five hundred miles from "The English Midlands".

Here's the official website.

I have no idea how you found that one RC! Amazing.

[J.J. Walters]

Thanks again RC!

The castle has been lived in by the same family for over 700 years. It has been open to the public since 1956 and is the most visited in the Bordeaux region.

Neat!

Dang, Rubber Chicken! You rock!

I just watched this one again. The scene in the study wherein Higgins lashes out at Magnum and TM looks at Higgins dead on and proclaims that attacks on his bad habits are withing the rules, but on his character are not, is in my opinion a defining moment on the complex relationship between Higgins and Magnum. Higgins apologizes and seems to be for one the very first times seeing Magnum the War Hero, the galant and chivalrous and friend to the end Magnum. Great writing and character development....Bravo!

Rated it a 9.5, trying to hold out on the 10 ratings, but I agree this is an episode that one can re-watch and enjoy, unlike basketball orphan willie...hehe.

Seriously though, this seems to me to be one of the "classic" episodes, just the right amount of everything. One of the fortunately, many, good episodes that keep the Magni-verse turning, even 30 years later.

"....dig my action over there...."

great ep! in my top 10....show's how strong the characters are.

In keeping with the surf ski hat flub....in the final push of the surf ski race,
mag's sunglasses come on and off twice. I doubt he stopped in the last
couple hundred yards to take his sunglasses on and off. The aerial shot of
the race cuts to the mag with no sunglasses, then with, then without, then
he crosses the finish line with.
