I'm pretty sure this is derived from the Joe Cocker song at the end, or at least, that's what I always thought. Whatever it is, it's the same as the instrumental that plays during the flashbacks and over the end credits.


You're right. He's whistling "I'm So Glad I'm Standing Here Today". For some reason I thought it was a different song. It almost sounded like "We Are the World" to me! Shocked



Thank God!

I thought I was the only one!

Don't feel bad, guys. I also noticed the similarity, and even a hint of what sounds like (to my ear)..."Roll On, Mississippi"!! Shocked Laughing

It wouldn't have meant anything to me back when the episode originally aired, but this time around I noticed that the two movies that Rick mentioned he rented to watch with Magnum were "Stalag 17" (which Magnum watched in a much earlier episode) and "A Thousand Clowns" -- the play TS did on Broadway in 2001, which he's said is his favorite play!

Don't know if it's been mentioned earlier but the "bad guy" in this is the same actor who played the "bad guy" in Paper War. To use someone again one season later in such an important role who the audience were likely to recognise bugged me. I could stop thinking of that all the way through.

Hi all!
The coach in the "waking up scene" looks like Tom Sellecks Father to me. Think I have to watch "Going home" again, but as nobody else mentioned it before, I guess I`m wrong.
BTW, great side, came here every day the last few month to get much informations about the episodes I watch on my daily dose. Laughing

Carmen,
You are right, that is Tom's father.
Tom's mother and son are also seen, they are fans sitting on the bleachers.

Maggie answers a phone with, "Commander Poole". Her badge clearly says 'Lieutenant Commander'. Is it acceptable for LCDR's to address themselves as "Commander"?

It seems strange that Magnum appears healthier in the coma than he does after he dies and comes back.

True enough. I was just taken aback by the rather ghoulish makeup job Surprised The makeup person made him look like a zombie.
