Most episodes only feature one or two major recurring characters.ĥ " Looking For Space" by John Denver is featured several times in this episode and is used to great effect in the final scene as Magnum is "walking off to heaven".Ħ This episode was included in the 2011 The Best of the 80s: Magnum P.I. Opening In medias res, we find Magnum in the middle of a fierce one-on-three gunfight in a crate-filled warehouse.Ĥ The only major recurring character to not appear in this episode is Icepick Tanaka, Agatha, Doc Ibold, Carol, Maggie Poole, Buck Greene, Lt. Still, some scenes couldn't be re-done or re-edited, namely the scene were everybody is at Robin's Nest dressed in black, and talking about Magnum in the past tense.ģ This episode has one of the most memorable (and shocking) opening scenes of the entire series. After Season Eight was greenlighted, "Limbo" underwent some minor edits to reenforce the idea that Magnum is not really dead (Michelle's visit to the hospital). Not long before the air date in April of 1987, Tom agreed to do one final (short) season (Season Eight). When they filmed this episode everyone on the crew thought it was the last one, including Tom Selleck. He also spends time with each of his close friends individually, and, in one way or another, says goodbye and how important they are all to him, in case he does not survive.ġ This is the second episode to be produced by Tom Selleck, following " Death and Taxes" (7.6).Ģ "Limbo" was originally intended to be the series finale (with Magnum seemingly walking off to heaven). He meets up with the ghost of his former Naval buddy, Lt. Thomas, in a coma, discovers he is not dead, but also not alive, and needs to help Michelle, who is in danger and being chased by killers. Magnum is caught in a shootout in a warehouse that leaves him fighting for his life.
