| I'm lost to grasp why this episode was rated so highly. I viewed every episode in this long series but this one and the episode following this one until the past weekend where I finally watched them all. There is no humor in this Digger episode and the storyline is flat.

Love this ep. 2 beautiful women. France sure do have sum nice tropical foliage and their night do appear warm... Major film Flub; OK. So we see the roller cruising past the very same 60 in a circle (fake French) road sign and the same banana grove twice within a few seconds. How can?! This is Kamehameha Hiway beyond Kaneohe on the way to La'ie. So digger pulls a gun on TM and Hig. Then calls Masters. Higgy listens to RM for a moment then hangs up. Proceeds to go into a minutes long diatribe explaining Digger's presence. HOW did he glean all that from a few moments on the line with RM? Unless of course, he was filling in the blanks from previous knowledge learned from his numerous conversations with RM. Higgy is really taking the high road here in accepting the blame wholly. Over 200 acres?! I don't think so. And the 5 acre main compound seems exaggerated. The Cooke estate is larger and it is just under 5 acres. Woops the WW2 soldier comment was quite indiscrete and thoughtless. yes, She does take pleasure in belittling people. She really could perform her function just as well sans insults. When she explains via the fake exaggerated phoney unreal dumb map she has of the birds eye view of the area, she gesticulates quite wildly, while telling them I want stuff that costa lot and sounds hi tech everwhere and here and here and the most likely approaches to the compound. hmmm. methinks an akamai boogular would not attempt to gain entry via "the most likely approaches to the compound"
The dialogue contains some refreshingly fun and maybe even sparkling repartee. One of my faves.
Is every vahine that serves alcohol named Luanna?! They have 2 in this ep. What a clunky name. The least they could do it choose something local and exotic sounding. "Im not that good of an actress. I think you are". Boyyy oh boy Is TM working her to the hilt! As they observe lazeronics, foley work is going overtime. Thick tropical rainforest bird b.g. sound effects much more (and inappropriate) than you would hear even at manoa falls. Now why would Digger while in enemy territory with cameras abound, sneeze. Hard to believe she has not trained herself to learn to stifle that. One of the funniest scenes is where TM or TM's stuntie, is carrying what is obviously a lightweight dummy. And apparently a bolohead one at that.
"I'm lost to grasp why this episode was rated so highly." Ratings by individual viewers is very subjective. And personal and individual. All a matter of taste.
or; "Rating episodes is over rated." take your pick. I never understood the concept.

For me the ultimate evidence that Higgins is NOT Robin Masters:
Higgins is alone, the red phone rings and Higgins expects that Robin is on the line. Instead, Magnum calls because "that number is the only one that he can remember".

I wish they never tried to keep the public guessing in the later series about whether Higgins is Robin Masters. It is completely idiotic that someone hires a person to live on their multi million dollar private estate in Magnum, but then never meets the person over the course of 8 years.
I suppose Robin Masters has better things to do with his time than to waste it by visiting his estate on the water.
The writers seem to run out of material in the last year and were trying to wrap it up with less effort put into this series. I don't bother with the last three episodes in Season 8, the actors seem lethargic and tired, all of them.
