Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the audio commentary recorded for Pleasure Principle (1987), writer/consultant Jay Huguely said this episode was not meant to be the series finale. Tom Selleck was okay with the idea, but CBS and the syndicators were opposed. CBS renewed the show for an 8th season the night before production began on this episode. He was still writing the episode at the time, and left Magnum walking off into the clouds because the producers knew they would be bringing him back in the first episode of the 8th season.
- GoofsDuring the chase scene, the Audi appears to have a manual gear shifter. However, in episode 3 of season 7, "Straight and Narrow", it is claimed to have an automatic. Magnum, suffering from a leg injury, claims to take the Audi just because it has an automatic.
- Crazy creditsThe opening and end credits plays the music track of John Denver - Looking For Space. The beginning starts in warehouse and Magnum being shot, then the credits start which is completely different and does not show the iconic shots all the previous episodes and seasons have.

Featured review
What a way to end a beloved series, well almost
This is not only one of my favorite episode's of the original Magnum series but, television in general. I don't think there's ever been a series that concluded where the main character is caught between a state of life-and-death, and then visits all the other supporting characters to say his final goodbye's.
As a fan and weekly viewer of the series since 1982, this nearly final episode of Magnum PI was deeply moving for me. Like, saying a final goodbye to a long time friend that you grew-up with.
As for the episode itself, it's not only very touching and moving, that's aided by a really good soundtrack. It also contains a lot of action scenes, along with some light effective humorous moments. And, the ending scene almost brought tears to my eyes.(almost)
After 7-seasons, this episode was intended to be the final broadcast of the original Magnum PI series, but viewer demand brought it back at the last moment. The series eventually concluded a season later on a much more positive note for Thomas Magnum, but, not nearly as emotionally moving as this episode.
Definitely 10 out of 10 stars from me, and a must see episode for all the fans of the original Magnum PI series.
Side Note: I first saw this episode during summer re-runs of 1987, just after graduating from high school. Like most young people, I was overwhelmed with confusion and fear about what I was going to do with the rest of my life after school, this episode of Magnum somehow gave me a renewed appreciation for all the people in my life at the time, and some sense of temporary relief for what lies ahead in my future.
