Nah. Those were never favorites of mine.

Yeah, that one's good. Feeling obsolete was classic Higgins. And Magnum 
carrying him up all of those steps while he druggedly rambles on was 
great. And, as you say, Digger.

On the Magnum front, I'm probably gonna go with "Black on White" from 
Season Three. Some good Higgins backstory -- he recommended courtmartial 
for everyone, including himself -- and all of the guys are involved in 
one way or another, as well, even if TC *did* get conned into tearing up 
all of those gas receipts in the end. Heh. And they try to pull one over 
on Higgins, but this time it's for a good cause. And Ian McShane in an 
early role (and the far better of his two appearances on the show). And 
most of all, just a really good story about what war can do to a person.
