Re:

On Higgins wanting to call the police on little girls: I can't believe Higgins wanted to call the police on little girls! Modern day Ebenezer Scrooge! After Higgins confirmed that the rolled up picture the girls had brought with them to the estate in fact is the original picture he insists to call t...

Re:

On Magnum wearing glasses: ... * In one scene, Magnum can be seen to be wearing spectacles. (Unless I am much mistaken) this is the only time he is seen as such this end of the show’s run. He would start wearing spectacles on a more regular basis from the sixth season’s ‘The Hotel Dick’ onwards. ......

On Magnum breaking the fourth wall: Was this the first episode the use of the 4th wall with Magnum took place? No, he did it twice in the opening scene of the Pilot when he "steals" the Ferrari. ;) http://magnum-mania.com/images/1_1_full.jpg http://magnum-mania.com/images/1_1_j_full.jpg AAAAAaaannnn...

Re: China Doll (1.3)

On the "empty passenger seat in the chopper flub": The episode guide says (#6 in the flub section): "In part of the same scene as flub #5, for a brief moment you only see one person in chopper (the pilot). The passenger seat (Magnum's seat) is suddenly empty." Flub #5 refers to the scene in which Ma...

Re: The team ring worn upside down!!

@308guy: Yes, I noticed that there has been a discussion on the question on which hand the ring should be worn, left or right? As far as I remember there was no definite answer found. And since there are left handed as well as right handed people, it might well be left to the individual to decide wh...

Re: Millenial Magnums . . .

I always wonder if it is possible for IRL PI´s to really do a successful job in the long run if they don´t have the connections Magnum has to get necessary information in a kind of illegal way. And I wonder how often they have to (or in fact do) offend the law themselves to accomplish their missions...

Re: The team ring worn upside down!!

Hi Conch! Right? To me this was really kind of a big thing when I spotted it, since the ring and the Cross of Lorrain itself are probably THE most iconic symbol connected to MPI. One really should think that a flub like that couldn´t be overlooked. On the other hand, if someone saw it after the shot...

The team ring worn upside down!!

When watching "Don´t eat the snow in Hawaii" I spotted a scene in which the team ring was worn upside down (not as usual with the lower end of the Cross of Lorraine towards the finger tip) :shock: :shock: :o :o. A flub that in fact hadn´t been mentioned before. I made a post on the subject on the th...

Re: China Doll (1.3)

On the episode as such: Many on here have written about how much they like this episode and certainly there were many things mentioned about it that are really nice. On the other hand there are some things that I find just bad: The first one is the way that Mai Ling at different occasions tries to m...

On a flub while Magnum runs along the beach: When Magnum runs along the beach, looking out for Mai Ling, you see him passing by from left to right in front of a red catamaran with a blue, red and yellow coloured sail. After a cut you see him continue to run on the beach into the same direction. He t...

On the "flub" according Magnums scar: In the episode guide in the category "flub" it says: "The scar that was seen on Magnum's left shoulder in the "Pilot Movie" is nowhere to be seen in this episode. The scar will return (and disappear again) in future episodes." Now. I wonder: Since Magnum isn´t s...
