Re: Season 3 Episode 5: The Day Danger Walked In (3.5)
I loved your comment that Ethan (good or bad) will be sacrificed to the TV gods - too funny! :lol: I agree the gods will take him, hopefully they do a good job of his exit and don't blow it. They need some good shock value like what we witnessed in the original show (i.e. Ivan being shot in cold bl...

Re: Season 3 Episode 5: The Day Danger Walked In (3.5)
Nice to see Roger Moseley in this episode! He played a significant part in this one helping with Team Magnum escape from the freezer. He did say turkey once AND refused a beer which original Magnum viewers will appreciate. Those were good scenes... I laughed when he refused the beer. Ethan gets sho...

Re: Parody
Definitely don't think it's parody. Too many clear homages in there that are done in earnest. It's simply an update of the concept made by different people forty years later. The original version had its share of humor and wink-wink nudge-nudge with regards to detective conventions. Think of "The Bl...

Re: Season 3 Episode 1: Double Jeopardy (3.1)
F.O.M., I like that! And I agree, Katsumoto is getting a little fast and loose with the rules.

Re: Season 3 Episode 2: Easy Money (3.2)
The Magnum/Higgins tension is ratcheting up, but in a better way than in the first two seasons. Dr. Shah is either going to be this season's uber baddie or he's going to get sacrificed to the gods of network television for the benefit of our two costars. Should be fun either way. I can't believe Hig...

Re: Season 3 Episode 1: Double Jeopardy (3.1)
Hi Amian , It is mentioned that Gordon does confiscate the rifle from Rick . Knowing this I would say that Rick does not have all the proper paper work to own the rifle . I would not go as far as saying that no one is allowed to own one , each state has it’s own laws . I do remember that Katsumoto ...

Re: Season 3 Episode 1: Double Jeopardy (3.1)
Good episode, though would have liked a little more sleuthing instead of exegesis after the fact. Main point of this episode is the Magnum/Higgins relationship and I think the episode did a nice job with this. Magnum getting serious and Higgins getting silly (on meds and later when deflecting Magnum...

Re: property/seawall article
Your question seems to be at the center of the article. The state has the legislation to prevent any new sea wall construction. It seems to be doing so for the most part. However, the exceptions being made for existing sea walls are in question. The article explains that the granting of these is qu...

Re: property/seawall article
While Jefferson ultimately changed Locke’s “pursuit of property” to “pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration, the Constitution does protect property rights through the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments’ Due Process Clauses. It also does so more directly, through the Fifth Amendment’s Takings Clause:...

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)
The problem at that location in particular is the rising tide itself. That beach is a low energy wave zone because of its geographic location. That’s why it was so stable for so long, very minimal wave energy that didn’t cause large scale sand movement. The tidal pool walls actually slowed even fur...

Re: property/seawall article
It’s a classic example of private property rights versus the public good. This is an important point, and I think it takes on even more importance in Hawaii, where the establishment of private property rights is relatively recent and contentious. I saw a post or two about pursuit of property rights...

Re: The Robin Masters Estate (Pahonu)
That is a thorough article, and it seems like there is a lot more that will be revealed in the coming years. (I accessed the article through the Honolulu Star Advertiser's site... the pictures and drone video were nice to see.) I was thinking about the tidal pools, too. I would think they have minim...

Re: Peter Lenkov fired
I think this situation is serious enough it warrants looking into series cancellation. The toxic environment Lenkov created over the years could still create a triggering effect for some just even returning to the set. I stand with the victims. Perhaps it's time to cancel the show for the sake of t...

Re: Pilot to Ep2 Ratings and Beyond
Imo the first 4 seasons including season 5 pilot where pure magic, but it had only very little to do with acting skills and quality of the stories. Serious, non ball busting question, how is that possible? I can‘t give you a reply on this. Imo it‘s one of the examples where the whole is just perfec...

Re: Starting the season with a Hawaiian blessing
In Hawaii, it is very common for businesses to hold a traditional Hawaiian blessing when they start a new venture. “Magnum P.I.” did the same when they started shooting the first season last summer and again on Monday to mark its second season. Led by Kahu Kordell Kekoa, who has played a kahu on “H...
