So I saw your top 5 favorite Magnum episodes list. I’m curious to know what your least 5 favorite episodes are and why? 👀

hahaha oo i like this ask

ok in all honesty, there aren’t a lot of episodes that i HATED or walked away thinking i wish they hadn't aired that (which can not be said for all my shows). but they do have a fair amount of filler eps and anticlimactic storylines that i would finish the ep and be like .....eh s2 finale anyone i’m srry

so here are my ‘eh’ episodes, sprinkled in w my ‘i don't even remember this ep’ episodes, and a few ‘yeah no’ episodes (this got so long im sorry)

2x17 - look i dont even completely understand my beef with this episode but i just did NOT like it. maybe it was bc they had spoiled literally everything about the visa storyline so i knew what was coming and i had to prepare myself to watch him be excited about a marriage i knew was gonna fall through. maybe its bc it was the only ep of s2 i didn't watch live. but either way this whole episode was just...off. the timing was off, the banter was off, the case was off, the whole thing just didnt even feel like an episode of mpi to me, to the point that im still not entirely sure it even happened

2x10 - lolol this episode. this is the big flashback episode to afghanistan where they help ahmed. now, i am an avid shipper that watches 95% for miggy and about 5% for plot but i love the backstory of magnum and the guys. i love the flashbacks, i love the hannah twist, love it all srsly. but this episode was WEAK. it had the potential to really hit me where it hurt and it just fell flat. plus it was such such SUCH a character regression for higgins to not help until the end. it was one of the few times where i felt like they messed up a character’s arc

2x11 - winter finale! magnum in trouble! return of ivan! fam goes to rescue magnum! maybe ill get my hug!! yeah wrong. who even was ivan? wasn't it like a bait and switch and the nerdy guy was actually ivan? point is - i dont even remember!!!! i thought ivan was the big bad this season? one of the most underwhelming winter finale i have witnessed. and look i KNOW higgins is an independent badass that dont need no man. but can we have magnum come to the rescue ONCE?? can we stop having everyone have to save the NAVY SEAL  ??????? i digress.

1x17 - for u @hpfangirl13. i have a very detailed filing system for my gifs bc i am a Freak, but s1 has all the episodes and then the ep 17 folder just...doesnt exist. now early eps i forgive for not having good content because you have to establish the characters, and the show, and im here for the slow burn, yadda yadda. but EPISODE 17??? AFTER 15?? AND THE HOSPITAL SCENE? unacceptable. no, i dont like magnum giving higgins a hard time about dating. no, i do NOT like the appearance of little miss abby. no, i ESPECIALLY DO NOT LIKE THE LACK OF JEALOUSY. i dont remember the case. i dont remember the subplots. just that this episode was so lacking that there was not a single gif i could make. sad.

i hate to do this to y'all i really do. but 2x20. listen. did i get a few nice moments out of it? yeah, sure. DO I CARE FOR A SEASON FINALE THAT IS 90% ABOUT RICK WHEN THE WHOLE BUILD UP TO THE FINALE IS THE VISA STORYLINE? NO. listen, dont freak out on me here. i love rick. i really do. give me a rick centered episode, im FINE. BUT GIVE IT TO ME MIDSEASON NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGGINS ALMOST LEAVING AND YOUR SUPPOSED ‘INTENSE FINALE.’ it wasnt even intense yall. icepick did some shit, magnum and gang tried to reverse the shit (i think? i wasnt even really paying attention). I AMOST FELL ASLEEP HALFWAY THROUGH. and then the ending ?? yall. they might’ve well just sent her back to england and picked up s3 with her coming back. or something. or at least have her boarding the plane before someone saves the day. you're telling me rick and tc thought to call robin masters about a football player impersonation but no one thought to call him when his employee - overseeing his estate - was gonna get deported? what? i just dont get the whole storyline. i didn't ask for a fake marriage storyline, i asked for a hug. and since there was no hug, no feelings revealed, & no consequences, what was the point? i had hope for this storyline, i really did. but it was a waste of time. 

and if you have read through this very long rant, tell me your least favorite too so we can be bitter together lol

thanks for the ask! <3
