My Magnum Story
Posted: Sun Aug 03, 2014 1:29 pm
It all began in 2003.
I was 9 years old at the time and I would spend every afternoon after school to hang out with my class mate, who also happened to be my best friend.
Incidentally, that was the year I've first seen Magnum P.I.
Just as we would arrive at his place after classes, the show would start playing on the TV. It wasn't only the theme song and Ferrari that made Magnum stick in my head all those years later, it was a certain episode, called "Home from the sea". Although I was only 9, it had such an impact on me and it was so memorable, which would make me watch all the episodes at a later point in my life.
Only 10 years later would I realize what Magnum P.I. was all about. During my high school years I had a hiatus in watching TV shows, and only after my graduation would I start watching TV shows again. Memories of the before mentioned episode have emerged and I knew I had to watch the show again.
My journey with re-watching Magnum went on for 2 years (2012-2013). It was an incredible experience to remember small details I've already seen as a child. It made me to realize why I've loved it then, and why it was my favorite show now.
Since I've always loved the trivia, I remembered all the details from the episodes and I would Google them to see if they were mentioned somewhere. That's how I found this site, and my mind was blown. I thought about joining for over two years, but I had no idea how could I contribute to it since all I've found was already mentioned here.
Then, two days ago, I simply decided that I should be a part of the best fan community for my favorite TV show ever. I'm 21 years old now and probably the only person at that age to have Magnum as his favorite show or even know who Magnum is.
I've also imagined an ideal ending in my head. Magnum is in a happy relationship with Cynthia and he's still a private investigator, while she is his partner. Since Cynthia didn't get together with Magnum in "Resolutions" (that really disappointed me a lot, I was waiting for a moment when she would appear), I'm still looking for an ideal episode for a perfect ending in my head. If I exclude season 8 (since Magnum joins the Navy and isn't with Cynthia), that would mean Magnum actually died in season 7 finale. So it has to be somewhere between "L.A." and "Out of Sync". I just didn't like the fact that he had to "grow up" in finale by joining the Navy again.
But that's already touching the fan-fiction, I just though I would share it, I'm sure more of you imagined your ending in your heads.
So, what am I going to do on this site now? Since it's been a year since I've watched all the Magnum seasons, I will watch them again. I feel it drawing me back. Then I'll review every episode in the dedicated sections of the forum.
Anyway, sorry for the lengthy post, and I'm so glad to join the family! Expect more of me!
