THIS was an episode I primarily had forgotten. It was a mix of nice moments, some humor...but really some spotty writing. The mystery was weak. Christine Belford, to me, was not credible as a country bumpkin.....I've seen her too many times as bitchy, worldly, and hot. I just couldn't by into the Dorothy act. Episode still wasn't horrible, but I was looking for it to wrap up.
Haven't seen a bad one yet in season 1, but this might be the lowest rated for me.

That's understandable, I watched it last night for the first time and it is another sub par episode. I gave it 2 stars out of 5. I am rating all the episodes to later return and watch all the good ones again. Any episodes that I given less than 3 stars I will avoid and not waste my time with them.
This is yet another stupid plot, with an Iowa girl playing the lead role and a horse taking center stage.
The only really memorable moment is early on with Rick and TC laughing uncontrollably at Magnum and the horse story while having a drink at the oceanside restaurant. You could see the anger build in Magnum as he was being mocked by his two buddies.
I have nothing against horses, but when a story revolves around a horse I really say oh no, here we go again.
The character played by the Iowa girl is pure and innocent but at the same time she was so nerdy it turned me off.

| I love this episode, one of my favorite episodes. Very funny and I love the sweetness and shyness of Adelaide. Surprising so many are negative about it.

If she's going to sleep flat on her back all night, it wouldn't make any difference whether she took her glasses off or not. They'd be just fine either on her face or in her pocket.
If she tends to roll around in her sleep, so that she might damage her glasses if they were on her face, if would make sense to take them off. But in that case, they would be just as much at risk in her pocket! |
You've got a good point! The only reason for this that makes sense to me would be that if she put them on the ground, they would get dirty or scratched. I guess that just left her pocket by default...

I also like how shy Aidelaide was. The character was great, aside from the scene where she was telling TM about "preserving herself" and "pouncing"... Man, that scene was just awkward to watch.

| I never understood what was so hilarious about Magnum working on a case involving a horse (and Higgins too, of all people). Don't they know how valuable a horse can be? When Shergar was stolen (or should I say kidnapped) it was a a big shock in Ireland. Any PI would have made a fortune out of that case.
