I emailed the eBay seller of CS and GC, asking him if he had Forbidden Island. He responded that he is aware of five (!!) unfilmed Magnum scripts but that Forbidden Island isn't one of the ones he knows about. He said he didn't recognize that name. I need to send him the link I found, don't I?

I promptly emailed back, asking the name of the other three and if he has them. I will keep you advised of what he reports back to me.

This is getting pretty interesting . . . .

Forbidden Island

And there must be a few around, but still at $45:

FYI, this is just one copy of the script... the Americana Exchange listing links to James Pepper Books.

Yup, just sent the check to James Pepper books. Hopefully I should get it sometime next week.

I'll keep all of you posted.

Looks like it would have aired in the 3rd season

Hi all,

Awesome!

It didn't occur to me earlier, but I wonder if this may be an early draft of Season Seven's Kapu, which in Hawaiian means "forbidden"?! I hope not.

Hey guys,

I did a read through last night.

Rest assured, its not reminiscent of Kapu at all, save that its on an island that is "forbidden" in a sense.

Synopsis to come hopefully today or tomorrow. Just want to make sure I have all the facts straight.

The Cheapshot page has been added to the site! Outside of the direct link, it can be accessed via the Episode Guide in the 'Unfilmed Episodes' section.

I've also added a news item to the main page (the root url) about the write-ups.

Once again, much thanks to SelleckLover and Doc Ibold (for Forbidden Island) for writing these fantastic synopsis'! It makes for a great addition to the site.
