This truly is a great ep. It will make you sad, see a side of Magnum that you may not expect, and for what I gather was known to be one of the final ep's a good way to bring together some story elements.
In my heart I wish it would have gone differently, but if I take my heart out of it I can see it for what is a really well put together story although it did have some weaknesses.
It's also one of the very few ep's where we see Mag use his military skills which if I were to negatively comment about the series that would be one thing that I think was too underutilized. While so much of Mag's, TC's, Rick, and Higgin's military service is mentioned and written into the story, there is very minimal application of that skill set.
