Please check out the link at around the 1:50 mark this is what I was talking about . I thought I saw this display in Magnum’s Ferrari in the episode where old Girlfriend comes back .it was just for a split second so I could be mistaken .

If I ever had the opportunity to ride in a 488 I would be so excited that if the driver didn't tell me about that display I might not even notice it or how it operates. I assume the director thought the same and just had him look over to the dashboard. Very cool though and I love that everything is operated on the steering wheel. Cool cars like these are why I never see self driving cars in our future....

It would be terrible if my car had such a passenger display.

Beloved wife constantly moans about my driving, if she had such information "right in her face", she wouldn't stop at all.

Steve wrote:I agree with all that everyone has said, no automatic gun fire, I like the way they are developing TC into a big teddy bear with a heart and I am loving Steven Hill playing him (I suspect Roger does as well). I like the entire cast and find them charming and will never hate on them as they were put into an almost impossible situation.
The chemistry between Thomas, Juliette and Katsumoto is growing every week as the Lt. and Thomas find they sometimes need each other. Good job writers, I look forward to the April sweeps episodes.....
(Interesting how Kimee Balmilero seems to be appearing in as many Magnum PI episodes as she does in Hawaii 5-0)
Yep, I also agree. Easily one of the best episodes of the reboot so far.

Small quibble, but if you get hit over the back of the head with a shovel and are knocked unconscious for a period of time, you definitely had a concussion.

I think that falls in the category of magical, medicinal effects of TV. It's is kind of like all the people who get shot in the leg and are completely healed by the end of an episode and have no limp or those who are shot in the shoulder and the only therapy they need is a sling. Then there are those who wake up from being in a coma for several days and not a hair is out of place. We have to keep telling ourselves...."its TV...its not real."

You're completely right. Juliette's hacking skills fall into that category for me, too. For the most part, though, glad to see the improvements in the show over the course of this season, unrealistic bits and all!

Also, a few people have said this already, but would love to see Roger Mosley get a regularly recurring role as Booky.
