Re: Season 5 Episode 4: NSFW (5.4)

To me, Juliette doesn't look any different, but I think the camera work is emphasizing her chest a bit more... someone mentioned in an earlier episode thread that the NBC episodes have a little more T&A, which I think is accurate so far. That said, enhance away! Hi Amian, After reading your respons...

Re: Season 5 Episode 4: NSFW (5.4)

I agree with you both, especially that TC and Rick seem to have a real spark to them this season, a carry over from last season. I used to think both were so so actors, especially "TC", but perhaps it's more a matter of good actors being turned off by all the shoot em up Lenkov BS. It's been good t...

Re: Season 5 Episode 4: NSFW (5.4)

Sorry Dobie, but nobody in the new cast is going to be better than in the original cast. Not even Zach Knighton as Rick. Larry Manetti will forever be Rick and will always be the REAL RICK. He didn't need to be a serious actor or carry a movie the way Mosley did with LEADBELLY but what was required...

Re: Season 5 Episode 4: NSFW (5.4)

A so-so episode, in my opinion. Higgins' magical hacking skills is always a pet peeve of mine, as it is not only unrealistic, but it takes away chances for sleuthing! Magnum and Higgins need to break up ASAP. Their little kiss in the office was blech. Overall, not as good as the first three episodes...

Re: Season 5 Episode 3: Number One With a Bullet (5.3)

Katsumoto took a shiv to the spleen! Honestly, though, I think he should stay away from the HPD, start his own rival P.I. firm and once again become a thorn in Magnum's side. The new chief, Childs, is playing the role well. Overall, a fun episode, and the scenes with Rick were good. He's got good co...

Re: Season 5 Episode 2: The Breaking Point (5.2)

If they are going to knock off the classic old characters like Buck Greene, can they PLEASE bump off that clueless, awful, awful Luther Gillis they showed some seasons back? What a scrung-o. Honestly I am not sure I remember the "new" Luther Gillis. Maybe the writers sent him on an extended vacatio...

Re: Season 5 Episode 1: The Passenger (5.1)

From the last half of season 4 on, the series definitely had a different feel, perhaps they were finally able to weed out the last of the Lenkov loyalists. Plus did you see the producer credits for Jay on some of them? And no more 6 day beard while in full uniform when they had to wear one. I didn'...

Re: Is the Magnum legacy in danger due to reboot?

Agree that the original MPI legacy is safe. If the reboot was going to mount a challenge in viewers' minds, it would have happened already. The original remains the far better series, but I won't begrudge the reboot if it has fans who think otherwise. They're not hurting anyone. But, I will say add ...

Re: Season 5 Episode 2: The Breaking Point (5.2)

Okay, Jin was pretty funny this episode. Undercover lifeguards, now we're talking! Perfect opportunity for some camp, and it was well played imo. A little funny and silly, and also a rescue to boot. Plus Higgins doing an American accent is good for a chuckle. Kenji, I also noticed the funeral scene ...

Re: Season 5 Episode 1: The Passenger (5.1)

Not a bad start to the NBC run! I don't know whether or not the showrunners or anything else has changed from when the show was on CBS, but I'd think they might want to have a slightly different tone... just because. The writers seem to be aware of the audience's (i.e. my) eye-rolling when it comes ...

Re: Season 5

Agree, it kind of grew on me. Plenty that falls flat, but the show's improved over its run. I'll be interested to see the re-reboot on NBC.

Re: CBS Canceled the Reboot

Bondtoys enjoyed the new series, among others. He’s the one who made the cool Get Wet hats that various members were able to buy. He left the forum and it’s too bad for all of us. He had a friend who toured Pahonu when it was for sale and was able to get a few architectural pieces from the estate, ...

Re: CBS Canceled the Reboot

Seeing this thread made me think of someone who constantly praised the show. Since I was out of the loop for a bit, wasn't there someone called Boyztoyz or Bondztoyz or something like that. Is he still around? Bondtoys enjoyed the new series, among others. He’s the one who made the cool Get Wet hat...

Re: Season 3 Episode 10: The Long Way Home: (3.10)

It is hard not to like Dr Ethan's character (again). But.... that means his fall from grace will be truly epic. The Doctors without Borders assignment goes along with my theory. Glenn's theory is he was in love with a local woman (who happened to be also running guns to the Taliban). The woman got ...

Re: 40th Anniversary Watch Party

Of course. And that's what we're talking about here - what's presented to us on our TV screens. Based on what we saw of Ivan, his motivations, and what he had done, we all cheer for TM when he blows the scumbag away. BAM! There's a reason this episode is rated so high and why it's my personal favor...
