Re: Legend of the Lost Art (8.10)

I wouldn't blame Tom Selleck for the silliness of this episode (which I wasn't a fan of either on my lone watch so far). His Indy screentest is actually dead serious (arguably more so than Ford's take) and he is equally adept at drama as he is at comedy, as he had already proven countless times in M...

Re: One Picture is Worth (7.3)

I consider this an excellent and rather underrated episode. It holds up well to repeat viewing too, unlike some (Going Home springs to mind).

Re: Summer School (6.13)

I still rate this episode a 5 at best. The writing is uncharacteristically woeful. RJ is a psycho and the actions of the main characters don't ring true at all given RJ's behaviour, as has been pointed out by others. I really need to post on episodes I love though as there are only about 10 episodes...

Re: Kiss of the Sabre (5.11)

This episode was legitimately painful to watch. Cringe worthy indeed. 5/10 at best and surely the worst episode of series 5. IMO anyway.

Re: Professor Jonathan Higgins (5.13)

I have to say that upon re-watching this episode I found it had much more merit than I originally gave it credit for. It's certainly not the worst episode as I initially thought; not even close. Yes, Tom's wife's acting/accent leave MUCH to be desired, but this is a very worthwhile episode for John ...

Re: The Absolute Worst Episodes

Based on my most recent viewings, the worst episodes are IMO as follows: The Ugliest Dog In Hawaii - Not actually a bad episode, but still my least favourite from the impeccable 1st series. Mixed Doubles - The young lady Magnum is forced to 'babysit'/ take abuse from here is painfully obnoxious & ev...

I agree that when re-watching MPI, Series 3 really does seem to be the series hitting full stride; it's only sad when Mixed Doubles comes along to impair perfection! I need to re-watch the series 7 dream episode now; I remember thinking that one was even better than the excellent Flashback, though m...

Can't believe I forgot how good this episode was! For some reason it wasn't in my mind as one of Magnum PI's best episodes but rewatching it, it most clearly is. Great pace, structure, music, acting: A masterpiece.

McShane is superb as usual: that's 2 for 2 in terms of McShane MPI episodes!

Watched this one again. Definately a classic episode IMO. I can't remember what I rated it, but it deserves at least 9 if not 9.5.

Although I did not quite get why Tom was playing that tape of that Nam report to her.
Tom is just playing the 'Nam footage to remind Kate of her values, some of which she'd cast aside in her desperation to nab a great scoop.
