Re: Caught my first couple of "new" episodes

Watching another episode.


OMG.

If you enjoy this series, two things: I invite you to the original, OR, we will simply never see the world together.

OMG.

This show is awful.

Caught my first couple of "new" episodes

Late night re-runs. Season 3 episodes. Totally random. First time I've ever seen the re-boot. I'm an original Magnum guy since the 80s. Holy cow. Stunningly bad. Monstrously bad. Oof. So bad they should be ashamed. Everyone. Wow. Just wow. I'd change my name if I was one of the actors. A shameful jo...

Re: Resolutions (2) (8.13)

I know that the original episode had a pretty lengthy scene during magnums naval Academy reunion in the bar, and most of that was deleted for the DVD and syndicated version. Does anyone know a platform streaming or otherwise that has the episode in its entirety? Thanks. Hmmm - I feel like the Virgi...

Re: Faith and Begorrah (3.23)

Watching this one now. I think I spotted a flub. It's in the opening scene, in the churchyard where Father Paddy is verbally sparring with Brigadier Faulkes. Once the brigadier gets in his car and drives away we can see the rear license plate. The plate on the car displays four stars. A brigadier in...

Re: Did You See the Sunrise? (1) (3.1)

Something caught my eye when watching this one today. It's near the end, when Magnum is watching Ivan leaving the consulate and getting into his limo. As Ivan is walking to the car we see a flag flying from the front of the consulate building. It is yellow, with one black and one white diagonal stri...

Re: Don't Eat the Snow in Hawaii (1) (1.1)

1.1 DON’T EAT THE SNOW IN HAWAII : I can't figure out what the two goons in the Challenger were trying to do after they followed Magnum into the tunnel. From what we can see, they seem to hit the brakes and then squeal the tires as they swerve between lanes. What exactly are they trying to do? Scar...

Re: Operation: Silent Night (4.10)

Saw "Operation: Silent Night" ...Also loved Rick trying to confess a secret about his sister (not cousin), something that he's ashamed of, and never being able to tell it. :) BTW, it appears to be a different sister, not the one that was killed a few episodes before this (Wendy). He calls her by a ...

Re: Luther Gillis: File #521 (4.2)

Just re-watched this one for the first time in a long time. I had not been a big fan of Luther Gillis during the first run, but find him hilarious now. I did notice a disconnect with later writing...at one point Luther jumps into TC's van and tell TC and Rick to put up their hands or he'll make the...

Re: Transitions (8.11)

Watching this one right now. One thing that struck me as odd on this watch was Thomas asking Higgins for time off. Since when does TM have to have leave approved by Higgins? He's not that kind of "employee". Higgins taking the Ferrari as he so often does, always made sense, it's estate property. But...

Re: Three Minus Two (2.22)

2.22 THREE MINUS TWO 5. The first time we see the gun Mrs. Russell has, it is black. In the remaining shots, it is silver. (nickel plated?) Anybody know the gun and how many shells it holds? She fired it empty with 7 rounds. Mrs. Russell uses a Colt Pocket Hammerless, either the 1903 or 1908 model ...

Re:

I have some questions about the scenery at the estate shown in this episode. I'm not as expert as most of you here in dissecting everything in all the episodes (which I like, don't get me wrong!), so I'm just learning to look for things. 1. When the cops drive into the estate and Higgins angrily me...

Re: Texas Lightning (2.18)

This one is on Roku's Universal Action channel right now. A couple of members have raised the James Bond overtones of the game on Thompson's yacht; various baddies, gathered around the table, e.g. the mysterious Chinese general, etc. But it was only on this watch that I noticed that one guy (Baron, ...

Re: Straight and Narrow (7.4)

Does anyone know what the patch is on the ball cap that TC is wearing at the track, when Magnum sprains his ankle? It looks to be the triangle emblem used by many New Jersey police agencies, but I couldn't make out which. If that's what it is, I wonder what the significance is. Was it an in-universe...
