1. Hawaii Five-0 Season 3 Finale Promo: Who Will Die?

   I doubt someone will die, the press releases say that Kono is on the run for a murder she didn't commit. I believe the governor will fire her or order Steve to drop her from the task force while she's a fugitive, thus becoming a team of 3.

   I won't comment too much on this episode, while it did set up some good cliffhangers for the finale, it wasn't as amazing as I hoped the second last episode would be. If the the last two seasons are anything to go by, we should be expecting a shocking, large scale finish right up until the last scene. I just hope we aren't let down.

   @WIlliam E. Bruce, I believe Alex had his hair cut for episode 3.20, for his scenes training as a Navy SEAL.

   @Walter, I also was amazed at such the small possibility of this episode airing the day those three girls were found after 10 years. Of course we can't really say it was ripped from the headlines but it does mirror Gabrielle's discussion of the realism of the case.

   Wow, just wow. That was an amazing episode. I say I like all episodes because I am a loyal fan, but that was seriously so tense and well written my heart was still racing all the way to the end credits. The scene where Steve asks for Danny's badge then walks out was incredibly well done. I'm glad to see the Adam/Kono story line come back, my only downside to this episode was the ignoring of the major plot twist of last episode, there wasn't even the smallest reference to Wo Fat. That's one of the little things people use to compare with the first season, once upon a time something like that would have been referenced even if it was just one line.

   I too noticed some inconsistencies like when Steve and Freddie were talking for ages while still getting shot at, but as with this and many other things in all episode you just have to cast them aside in order to have an enjoyable hour of television. Fantastic episode, even I shed a tear at the end.

   Just to add, I'm feeling like I actually want to rewatch this episode because it was so enjoyable. I haven't rewatched an episode for some time now. If the writers stay on this course we can hope for more than one more season.

   Now I found this episode to be one of my favorites in a long time. I thought that screen time was shared equally, and the pacing of the episode was nice that we got some great scenes and it didn't feel rushed towards the end. Overall I thought the script and screenplay were fantastic, some great one liners from McGarrett in the carguments. It reminded me of a classic mystery episode from season 1, the case also seemed a little more attached to Five-0's jurisdiction than previous episodes. It seems that from this point to the end of all the seasons the showrunners seem to whip out some great episodes right up until the finale, but lack some good episodes mid season. I will admit i was continually asking myself the question about the couple almost being killed at the start without further mention at all, otherwise a great episode.

   I liked this episode, it was something different. I understand both sides of the Catherine debate, the same goes for Doris too, but the writers are giving us small doses every now and then, sharing the screen with all the cast over different episodes. One thing which has bothered me a little this season is the story arches. The Doris one has been on and off, which i can sympathize with as it isn't very immediate, well maybe it will be from now on. But the episode cliffhanger with Adam's brother returning Kono's gun many many episodes ago has been completely ignored, not even hinted at or a small piece of the puzzle been revealed. I heard they were continuing with that arch in the next few episodes but leaving them alone for such a long period of time, both the Kono and Doris arches is a bit annoying in my opinion.

    Not such a high profile episode this time around, and enjoyable hour nonetheless. I think the audience needs a rest from the intense episodes of this season. I'm with @Mrs Cleaver, I have zero idea who Summer Glau is, yet she did a solid job anyway. Im not sure if that was meant to be an Indiana jones reference in the end when Steve shoots the guy spinning the knife, but thats what I immediately thought. All around an average episode for me.

    Another fantastic episode. The series has the ability to experiment with all these unique ideas due to its easy viewing and always producing an enjoyable hour of television. It was good to see a few navy seal moments again from Steve, and the writer's dropping in and out of Wo-Fat related episodes is proving successful in making the show appreciative to regular viewers and also to those who drop in now and then. I hope it's renewed for many seasons to come, audiences deserve a steady enjoyable show thats not too heavy going.

    I love this show, I really do. However they used to introduce terrorism cases stemming from the death of a naval officer for example, which was much more true to NCIS than a random terror cell. They need to bring it back to its naval roots, in my opinion.

    @walter: They don't often have more than one helicopter for a production. They use the same helicopter for Kamekona's business but just put stickers on the side. You might have also noticed the jeep they used towards the end was the one from the north korean episode (2.10) last season.

    I really enjoyed this ep, even though I couldn't partake because I live in Australia and wasn't seeing it real time. Danny's nephew was great, I would really enjoy seeing him in future episodes. His help in the case and smart thinking about the can was what I also thought initially when he threw it in the bin, so it was fun to play along with his character. The Kono/Sang Min subplot seemed a little pointless at first but the emotional end to Min's escape was worth the rest of it. For an episode that took on such a bold move in the industry, I was pleasantly surprised to see they still pulled off a solid episode around the 'vote for the killer' alternate endings. I would say it was a success :)

16. Hawaii Five-0 to Let Viewers Choose Episode Ending

    Nice to see they are trying something different, however I fail to see how this will work for international viewers and reruns? Will they choose the voted ending as the one for dvd and syndication?

    I thought it was a very unique episode, in a good way. I liked how they introduced the case, with Steve approaching the kid. It was something different and it was fun to see Steve and Catherine interact with a child, which built their relationship. Also, on your note about Steve's choice of date Jim, I'm still trying to figure out wether Steve had the tuxedo move planned before the rainbow diner all along, or he came up with it after. Either way he definitely made up for it. Catherine's kick ass fight scene was definitely entertaining to watch, well done to the crew and stunt guys for pulling off a very brutal and convincing fight. It was an enjoyable episode to end on before Christmas, I think it deserves just over 4 stars.

    I thought it was a great episode, only I would like to see Five-0 rooted back to more specialized cases and see the ties with the governor. I was struggling to understand the relevance of the Victoria Secret case.

    People need to stop over analyzing every little aspect of the show and the writing. Yes some things such as the restraining order may be improbable but no one cares, as long as people are entertained. Sure, there is a point where it can be so stupid that its hard to watch, but I don't think H50 ever crosses that line. Stop complaining about Doris and Catherine too, you may think their characters aren't written well or whatever, but then you have to think of what the show would be like if they didn't change things up and try out new stories. The show would not develop and it would just go straight downhill. Chill out everyone.

    I quite liked this episode, despite the average reviews from everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed the cat and mouse game, as it was different and more intriguing than many of the crime of the week mysteries we have seen in the past. The development of McGarrett's character was fun to watch and it was good to see his personal conflict with his type A personality and ego take a forefront for the episode. While the Doris/Channing/Catherine story line was farfetched and unrealistic I think the writers have done well to think of a different turn for Doris's character and it worked well to incorporate both Catherine and Doris in the same sub plot. A very solid episode, probably a good 4 stars from me.

    I thought this was a very average episode, maybe the bar has been set too high and we are just expecting a lot more this season. I don't know, it reminded me of a season 1 episode.

    Just another thing I would like to add from my first comment, I thought it was a bit unprofessional when Steve ripped apart the wall full of evidence to get to the C4 on the other side. I understand the urgency, but it was just something that annoyed me, maybe they had already photographed the scene.

    I enjoyed this episode quite a lot, we got a good share around of action and emotion. The story jumping was done well, wasn't too hard to follow. Love the idea of the drinking game Jim! Next Five-0 marathon I'm playing that for sure. I think the season is going great, it has high expectations and a lot of people are expecting way too much. Nonetheless it is still a fantastic show and I think people need to stop complaining about little things which can be overlooked in a 40 minute production. It's a shame the ratings are still low, there really isn't another show like it on TV.

    I actually enjoyed this episode, I have missed the crime of the week structure and I'm happy they could continue the story arcs around some banter, surprises and good old action. I finished watching it thinking, wow that was good, just like the Five-0 from previous seasons. I don't know what you guys are thinking.

    I agree with @Kerry. Everyone needs to chill, please. Everyone is to their own opinion, but I must say that the season finale was absolutely mind blowing. Shout out to the writers for doing an amazing job this season and holding the show together in difficult times. Some bits may have been predictable, or a bit choppy, but if you can sit back and enjoy the action and character development (Chin's was fantastic) then you should be able to walk away from the TV screen more than impressed. I mean, after all, we are all here because we enjoy the show, or we would not be writing on forums like this. I for one especially enjoyed this episode and there were some great times in this season. Can't wait for season 3!!!
