Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWalter Chotzen's only appearance as Ice Pick, the role to be subsequently played by Elisha Cook, Jr.
- GoofsThe helicopter that TC flies is a Hughes 500. The Hughes 500 is powered by an Allison 250-C30, 650 hp turbine engine. When the helicopter is running out of fuel, you hear the engine cut out and come back sputtering a number of times. Turbine (jet) engines do not behave this way when running out of fuel. Turbine engines spool down and try to spin back up, but they don't sputter like a reciprocating engine does.
- Quotes
Magnum: [narrates] This morning in paradise was not much better than the one yesterday. In other words, it was perfect. And morning in paradise is the perfect time of day. A quiet run, then a swim. It's a time you're truly alone, a time when you're allowed to fully appreciate the rhythms of living. Besides, Higgins was going to be gone all day, and that made me appreciate the rhythms of living even more.
Featured review
The most convoluted revenge plot ever devised
Before viewing "Past Tense", the viewer's suspension of disbelief mode needs to be fully operational. This is by far the most convoluted revenge plot ever devised by a bad guy.
We're introduced to the previously unseen Ice Pick (played in this episode only by Walter Chotzen) who is as threatening in person as his name suggests. Thankfully, Rick hides any signs of sweaty palms by meeting him in the unusual setting of a sauna.
The quirky Lieutenant Yoshi Tanaka also makes an appearance. Gotta love this guy (and, yes, he's still wearing the hat he pinched from Magnum).
Incidentally, this is a female free "Magnum" episode. It's filled to the brim with testosterone. Normal service will be resumed next episode.
8 out of 10. Far fetched it may be but this is still a great way to spend 50 minutes.
