Our thoughts about Cassie vs Shelly and her other character are the same. Those characters are folks I wouldn't want to be around.Doc Ibold wrote:It actually does. I believe there are some shots of the darkroom where there is a light over it in the study. But if memory serves me correct, it disappears in the res of this series.Doc Fred wrote: As someone said, as soon as Magnum talked about developing the film that Shelly had, you had to know he'd be busting into the darkroom and destroy Higgy's developing in one way or the other. One thing many darkrooms have is an outside light that can be switched on from inside the darkroom as a way of signalling that it's in use... I'm surprised the estate darkroom didn't have that feature.
Don't get me wrong. Cassie Yates is a good actress and attractive. It's just the characters she's written into on Magnum make me want to smack my head. That being said, she portrayed them convincingly.
I think it's the fact that throughout the course of the show her characters, while Magnum is trying to do his thing, interfere, criticize, commandeers and/or wrecks the Ferrari, Takes over the guest house and doesn't understand why Magnum is annoyed. Just overall annoying characters.
Yes, you're right about "the light"; I do recall seeing it on earlier in the series (I think). Why it would disappear, or why Higgy didn't turn it on is a puzzle to me. Of course, even if it had been there and had been on, Magnum might not have paid attention to it. And, after Magnum had walked in on Higgy's earlier work in the darkroom, I'm surprised Higgy didn't have a lock put on the door.
