Not really a original idea but it was fairly well done . I enjoyed Magnum working without his team it is something they should do more of . The rest of the cast had smaller roles but there friendship shine through when they were on screen . The episode left some nice set ups for future episodes going forward .
Hi Laohu,
You mentioned how close the cast seems to be now. I have to agree, there is a camaraderie that is evident onscreen now as opposed to season one when
both TC and Rick sleep walked thru their parts as if expecting the series not to get renewed.
The tug of war at episode's end seemed more like it was filmed at a cast party, it was obvious they were having a blast.
I just noticed that Jay is the producer, is this a new thing or has he been doing it for awhile? Maybe he is responsible for this series being much better
since Lenkov got the boot?
I still think he was miscast as Magnum, but that's not his fault, of course he jumped at the chance. Who wouldn't?
Ever since I divorced myself from the idea this production had anything to do with Classic Magnum(it has been 40 years), my deep resentment disappeared and I
accepted it as - for me - passable entertainment for Friday nights. I have to admit it is even pretty good at times.
I hope it continues to improve. Jin the Grifter was a fine addition as a semi regular, the look on his face when Higgins was chosen over him for the
tug of war team was very funny.
Whatever fitness program Perdita is on, she should do ads promoting it, she makes J-Lo look like Mrs. Fred Ziffel by comparison.
I am hoping that a host of Higgin's half brothers and sisters show up eventually. Higgins from Australia, Kenya, Malaya, the Sioux nation,
even the Conch Republic.
