This episode didn't do much for me, I really don't like the "Carol" episodes and don't see what her character added to the series. They even present her character as annoying to Magnum, and it annoys me, the viewer, to watch her whine away. Sorry for the bummer...lol

Suspension of disbelief and the metaphysics of Magnuverse

First off, some humor. The psychic should relate her visions to Magnum as: Psychic: "It's you in my vision, you're in the graveyard, but then, wait, someone who looks like you jumps towards me, but it's not really you but some freaky butt-kicking doppleganger..." Thomas: "Don't worry it's my stunt ...

This episode, while not the greatest, is certainly not BAD. I wonder if the people who really hate it are big fans of basketball willie and the little people CIA agent episodes...now those were bad. The scuba scenes alone make this an excellent episode, along with the audio for the scene as JJ point...

If I got a Magnum PI tattoo, I'd prefer to get a purple cross of lorraine done while rick and tc wander around outside in their helicopter helmets.

Bonus points for all of you that get the reference, and I think this is a cool tattoo idea (cross that is).

Forgive me as I wipe the drool off my chin after watching the episode, I am still imagining a young Sharon Stone walking into MY shower...megababe! I have really nothing else to say about this 2-parter that hasn't already been said better than I could say it. I kind of agree with everyone's points. ...

Just watched this episode, the end of season 4 after arriving home after jury duty. It was very enjoyable, but I didn't laugh as much as I should have? It did seem to have its comic appeal - definitely Higgins doing karate kicks should have done it, I guess I wasn't in the mood. I did smirk when ric...

I found the episode a bit dull, like others have commented I think the flashback and curiosity factor of what the characters were doing pre Robin's nest to be the saving grace of the episode. For the show to introduce a love interest in one episode, even with flashbacks, is slightly too ridiculous t...

I found this episode somewhat cheesy. So far in the series it seems to tie for worst episode with basketball willie. I do appreciate the point of showing some kind of balance to the regular displays of force on the series. Maybe the writers wanted to show that sometimes things don't go right and peo...

great episode!

Wow, this was an excellent episode for being Magnum-lite! I had seen bits of this one on tv and so I was dreading watching the DVD episode, but once I fully understood the story, I was taken in and it was a very enjoyable episode! Isn't that mansion one we've seen before, and in fact, is Sir Alec's ...

(CONTAINS SPOILERS)I think the previous reviews pretty much sum up my feeling for this episode. I rated it an 8, and I thought about giving it an 8.5 due to the crash-ending. You have to admit, the end of the episode is pretty spectacular, and we know when MPI can be hammy, believe me, the ending is...

While certainly not a "classic" episode, this one has its moments, like the laughter in the bank vault, which didn't embarrass me, but did seem to have happened spur-of-the-moment, as the villain even loses it for a bit... I do feel like the episodes have hit a bit of a lull, the last somewhat class...

Excellent episode

Rated it a 9.5, trying to hold out on the 10 ratings, but I agree this is an episode that one can re-watch and enjoy, unlike basketball orphan willie...hehe. Seriously though, this seems to me to be one of the "classic" episodes, just the right amount of everything. One of the fortunately, many, goo...

Advice to those who intend to purchase Season DVDs

Stop watching Magnum in syndication - you may end up having what happened to me, I'm on season 4 and have already seen every episode on Disc 1! Not only that, but some of them aren't exactly the most enjoyable and yet I have to watch them twice...

Average episode but wally is annoying

I think I've seen some worse episodes so far, for instance with the precocious little basketball playing girl, but waldo doesn't exactly pull off the Nicholas Cage "National Treasure" bit in any manner resembling convincing. I don't know if you'd consider it a flub, but evidently waldo doesn't do hi...

Funny episode

I have to admit when I first saw any of these Luther Gillis episodes, I kind of well had the tendency to hate them. I don't think I was paying enough attention to exactly what Luther says, because it is actually quite humorous, his quips and his burned out faded wardrobe and everything. If you don't...
