I thought I remembered Higgins encountering, and being done with, Lady Ashley earlier in the season...I went back and found it, it was Season 2's Computer Date.

I guess she lost weight? Had plastic surgery? Oh, well, I'll happily suspend disbelief for the great Higgins plotline in this one. John Hillerman is a master; and Gillian Dobbs does a very good job as well.

Yeah, the aspect of Higgins and Lady Ashley in this one was somewhat of a non-continutiy, as you're right...supposedly Higgins was done with Ashley in "Computer Date." But I loved the whole saga with Higgins and her in this superb 2-parter! So, like you I was willing to forego the plotline and character not matching up from the past episodes. Smile

Definitely did not expect the ending! Turns out she was 'another Michelle' after all. Sad

After having started watching the DVDs, and reading comments on here about a kind of "sea change" in the episodes coming up, I realize that my favorite Magnum is the jovial, good natured one trying to stop from hearing the score of the game, making a chili dog, fumbling with an automatic coffee vending machine, pulling rubber chickens, Kaline glove, and gorilla mask out of the closet...

I'm the opposite. I like Magnum's imperfections, but there's something about a 40-year-old going on 12 that puts me off on a very deep level.

I've gotta say that this two parter is a real turkey. I've tried and tried to find something that might redeem it but I just can't.

Firstly, why on earth would Magnum fall in love with a total psycho like Diane/Deidre when he knew for some time that they were one and the same. As much as I like Sharon Stone, she's a superb actress but in this she's just lame, sorry but I just cannot see why anyone would like this episode.


I believe I can explain this, just as Higgins did:
"She is beautiful and vulnerable."

Come on, most guys (Esp. Magnum) are suckers for a pretty damsel in distress. She is gorgeous and clearly troubled and TM being TM, he felt compelled to help her.

This. It's in our genetic makeup. It's like women being attracted to money.....ooops, did I really type that? Wink

This one had it all for me, not to mention watching a horribly done rotweiler attack on Magnum that literally made me laugh out loud.

You could clearly see the stuntman's face. Smile
