I see what you mean about Erin Gray's character being rather manipulative and mercenary and I hadn't considered it quite like that before. In real life women who have the looks can get away with that trecherous aspect as men are willing to forgive them, IMOSisophous wrote:Watched this episode again last night on DVD. It has its moments but something about Erin Gray is abrasive and annoying. Yes, she has a beautiful face but the character she plays is deceitful and stuck up. It seems members here rave about her but I have known many women in my life who have the beauty but are very shallow people, she strikes me that way in this episode.
And, after pulling some treachery on Magnum to get into the estate she pulls a gun and points it at Higgins and Magnum, what a lovely way to expose the security flaws.
In case anyone would like to view the full episode (including commercials) it is easily accessible on the IMDb.

Another thing that occurred to me was Don Bellisario really seemed to want to get a Raiders of the lost ark type TV series going as J Digger Doyle was one and in the Two Birds of a feather episode later another attempted spin off series featured an archaeologist (this time a pilot, with Doyle being a security expert with archaeological leanings).
I guess when he got the Tales of the Gold monkey going he finally got his wish.
