Cont.... As for Kono and Adam. I guess Adam is the good afterall, I have hopes that we will see him again. I don't think that storyline has ended.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Steve gets Wofat out of this one, as they come crashing through the door. You know he has something up his sleeve.
I was actually happy to see Chin move on, and look forward to seeing him deal with a new woman in his life. I don't really know what to make of Danny and Gabby, I guess we will see. I think overall a B- season. I'm hoping a new night gives the writers a chance to correct some mistakes and not drag things out so much.
I was expecting an answer to Doris and Wofat and was disappointed in not getting it. I feel that the writers tend to drag things on too long, which is why some people have tuned out. You can give an answer and still have it lead to more questions so that people keep coming back. I think the writers can do better next season in not dragging it out, but still keep the character.
Overall, I did enjoy the season. I don't think Grace Park is going anywhere, and whatever the reason she may be gone for a little while, is her business and she will let us know when she wants to, so people can speculate all they want, but its up to her to let us know if there is anything to know.
I feel the Catherine former boyfriend is a twist that may be interesting. If anything happens between Steve and Catherine I feel confident that it will resolve itself. I love the relationship between the two, and the actors work well together.
This was a good episode. Not as good as last weeks, and the finale is usually great, so looking forward to that. I think both stories on Doris and Kono are setting up the season opener for next year.
I think the Kono story was great. Is Adam going to turn good or bad is still the question. Is he going to help Kono against his brother? I would think that he would. I can't imagine Steve and Danny would ever believe Kono would shoot anyone. They and Chin will come to her rescue after a few dramatic moments. It will be interesting to see if Adam and Kono's relationship survive.
I really liked this episode. The ending was both heart breaking and relief. I agree that H50 really knows how to turn up the emotional notch, and the actors really know how to show it. Very well done.
I'm glad we are starting to get the Kono/Adam story heating up, I'm sure its a big part of the finale. Love that Grace Park is getting her turn. I still don't know which way they are going to go with Adam. Is he good or evil? Looking forward to the final two episodes.
@Mr. Mike....I believe they were going for the symbolism, as a cop is not suppose to be doing that, so for a few minutes he gave up his badge. I know its not legal, but 5-0 does get away with things a real cop would not. Who would not want to beat this guy? The actor by the way was great, he played the creepy guy perfectly.
@Walter.....thanks for the info on the lead biker guy, I was wondering if he was real. Peter getting his inspiration for the episode from him and letting him be in the episode was great. And I also thought it was a strange coincidence after watching the episode, finding out about the 3 women being held for 10 years.
I loved this episode. They are setting up Steve to realize what he has in Catherine. Despite the haters, this is a great character, and perfect for Steve. Michelle is a wonderful actress, and has great chemistry, with a wonderful actor in Alex. Each episode they have together shows that.
Even though we did not see the rest of the team much, they played a very important part. The funeral scene was both heart wrenching and heart warming. They are all Ohana, and is why most people watch each week. Like it or not, Catherine is a part of that, as is Kamekona and Max.
Jimmy Buffett plays the character great, and yes it was mentioned that the character was named after a character Jimmy himself wrote about. Perhaps why he plays him so well. I loved the prequel, I think it gave us a lot of insight to McGarrett, and why he is who he is. Looking forward to what they have instore for us in the final episodes and next year.
A few words for the reality police. This is TV, and you can say the same thing about all shows on TV. It's not real, it's not plausible, it's acting, none of these characters are real, none of the situations are real, it's make believe, it's entertainment. You will enjoy shows and life much better if you remember that.
Reality is what happened in Boston yesterday. Be upset about that, not a TV show.
As for the episode, I thought it was a very good one. I liked the crime, I loved the humor, and the Magnum PI references at the end. Still hoping we see Tom Selleck back in Hawaii. Putting the picture on the guys leg making him look at what he had done to his own friends was a great touch. Kono to the rescue. As someone said, Wiley coyote style, for the old road runner cartoons. I see H50 has been renewed as we all knew it would be. I'm little more nervous about the 5th year and if they do move it to another night, how that will affect it.
The Catherine character is fine. If they put her in an episode, people complain they are showing too much of her. If they just have her show up for one segment, then they don't know what to do with her. There are going to be times when all of these character are their in one segment, and then get an episode centered around them. The only one, as it should, is McG who is the lead character and is in most of the show. Danny comes in 2nd because of the relationship to McG. Chin and Kono are a close to Danny. The rest of the regulars get their shots as well. No one is being overdone.
I don't understand the comments about how Steve looked at Catherine in the last episode. What were you looking at? He obviously was showing that he understood, probably did not like it, but understood what Catherine did. Afterall he can tell the difference, he Mom made excuses, but Catherine said she was wrong.
I thought this was a fun episode. I think they showed Dog the bounty hunter at just the right amount. I loved that Catherine finally told Steve, and I'm glad that he understood it was mostly Mom, and he decided to forgive. Although, Steve is the one who through Catherine into the Mom situation, so he can't lay all the blame on someone else. I liked the Black clothes he was wearing, he wore them for the funeral scene which is where they came from. Alex looks good in anything. I'm liking this season. I do agree that I would like more answers coming faster about Mama McG. I guess they are building up for the finale. I would also like to see them settle the Adam's brother with Kono's gun thing before the end of the season.
As for the Danny haters, I understand you don't like him, but did you notice when he whines so do you? Just a thought.
Cont.... Loved seeing Larry Manetti, playing a Nick instead of Rick as he did in Magnum. One of my favorite shows of the past. I'm still holding out hope we see Tom Selleck. They left it open for Larry Manetti to come back as he was Senior McG's friend, and probably an informant. Just like his Magnum roll, only much older. Nice stop by the older Nick, knowing he could get him with a short cut across his establishment.
Well we are off for the next 3 weeks, not too many episodes left.
Hi Gabrielle, thanks for the review. I'm a football fan, but I understand not everyone is. I liked this episode very much. I do have to agree that Catherine was already at the game, and afterall it was a separted shoulder, painful, but not exactly life threatening. I was impressed that they showed Danny staying with Steve. I don't think Steve dumped her, he has already said he was going with Danny before he knew Catherine had tickets. Even though her tickets were actually sideline passes. Catherine was very thoughtful for getting Danny a signed football by his favorite player, and I was glad to see she took Kono.
Chin has been producing a local theater play which will end on March 2nd, which is why we probably have not seen much of him in the episodes.
Cont... As for this episode I loved that they showed the softer side to Kamekono, and thought it was hilarious when Danny could not put the handcuffs on him, and asked if there was a bicycle chain in the trunk. Summer Glau did play her emotional scenes well, and I loved her kickass scene. I hope we see her again. Doris and Mick make a good couple. I do hope they don't take long to explain what actually happened with Doris and her connection to Wofat. I don't think that will have to end the character.
I liked this episode. I think the writing is fine. Loved seeing Catherine, they are showing her the way they said they would, and not blasting her in every episode which was the complaint with Lori. McG needs a girlfriend, you would expect him to have a girlfriend. Look at him! I hope we see more of her. I think the Doris character is played right, of course we don't trust her and neither should Steve. I don't like what she did to her family, but then again it is a TV show not real. They are telling a story, to make it interesting, you can't have every character be trusted, sweet, and normal. The core 4 have their flaws as well. Danny is fine, thats his character and he plays well off of Steve. I think too many people talk like everyone in their is perfect, every relationship is perfect, no one has an opinion opposite theirs, no one bitches and whines about things, etc. I think they need to look at their lives a little closer and just enjoy a show and don't take it seriously, the actors and writers don't. Love this season
I watched the original on CBS.com over the weekend. It was a great episode, and I think that the current H50 did a great job recreating it and still having it updated to today. I loved seeing that they used the same scenes, even the green Mustang. The original had about 50 minutes, which shows you how much all of today's shows, show commercials. The average show today is around 42 minutes. I would have loved to see another 8 minutes of our show, but money talks.
I think that they did put in a little debate on the gun control issue. I don't see anything wrong in that, they did not go on forever, and showed both sides. I don't think Danny did not know the laws that Hawaii has, he was simply stating an opinion, which is what Danny does. You would expect him to be the one to do so, which is in character, so the writers did a good job without going on and on about it. Very enjoyable show, I like the character stuff, but we need one every so often about the crime itself.
@Walter...thanks for the information. Sounds good, one of my favorite Magnum episodes was when Sinatra was on tracking the killer of his granddaughter. Rick owned a club in Magnum. Looking forward to the rest of the season with our new TV hero's in Hawaii.
@ke,or K, or is it Kelly....again, Danny is what he is. He was put into a place he did not want to go. He is there because of his daughter and no other reason. Now that she has adjusted herself, any good father would not want to move her once again, that shows character, thinking of whats best for his child and not himself. You always complain that people have different opinions and if you don't like something then say it. Well, is that not what Danny is doing? And aren't you complaining about him the way you say me and others complain about you and others like you? You can't have it both ways. Danny is a character that Scott plays, he is not real, Hawaii five 0 task force is not real, neither are the other characters or situations. If you are not entertained there are other shows, if it bothers you so much you complain constantly then why torture yourself. The character is not going to change, this is the way he has been portrayed. I don't think its bad at all, and thats my opinion.
Thanks Walter. I'm still hoping for Tom Selleck, but I guess that would be difficult. Larry Manetti was a big part of Magnum. I wonder what he will play.
This is a great show, very entertaining and Danny is what he is. Cops are not robots whether in real life or on TV. If they were all the same I don't think anyone would be watching. Realism is what you get when you go outside your door. TV is a fantasy land, if you think its real, or expect it to teach people things, then watch a documentary.
Yes, I understand what you are all saying about the shooting, I thought the same thing, but the rest of the episode I thought was great. I absolutely loved seeing McG in his uniform, and the scene with them waiting outside the courtroom was classic bromance. Glad to see that the Govenor isn't as much of a jerk as they portrayed him. Hopefully he is an honest one and Five-0 has won him over. I did recognize the voice of WoFat in the beginning, but then I had expected him in this one, so I was kind of waiting for it. I love Mark Dacoscas' Wofat, he is truly evil and played very well. I was surprised to see a helicopter rescue two days in a row, but you can't capture Wofat, he's just too good a villian. I assumed that Danny would eventually get Grace, but I was thrilled they did not drag that out. I love Scott's Daddy moments, always shows what a good actor he is.
@Jschoi....I think you are right, Kono is going to get into trouble at some point because of Adam. We know the team will help her out, but I am glad that they are showing her not being fooled and blind to what may be going on.
@Joanna....I hope they don't kill Adam off at some point, although thats where they might be going. I don't know yet if he's really good and trying to change, or if he is going to the dark side with his brother. I like Adam, but it would be boring if everything went smoothly for Kono.
I'm just happy both and Chin and Kono have continuing storylines. I love Steve and Danny, but we need a little more of these two thrown in.
(cont.) I like the action, I know there will be those that will complain, "its not original", but name one thing that has not been done in a TV show or movie in the past 60 or so years.
Kono and Adam are getting more interesting. Kono tracking his phone to see what he's up to shows she's not going to just let Adam do whatever, and I hope they don't take too long before we find out what Adam's brother did with Kono's gun.
We get another new episode tonight which is exciting, but that means not as many left for the rest of the season, which means a lot of reruns over the remaining 4 months. After tonight only 10 episodes left.
Realism never bothers me. There were a lot of things I could have pointed out, but then the riot would not have lasted very long, Chin would not have met the nurse and have a possible future love interest, and the team would not have been able to fly Kamekona's chopper into the prison yard to resuce Chin while Sang Min escapes to show up in another episode. I don't think any of us would have liked the show had all of that not happened, I want to be entertained and I was. I was happy to see DDK get an episode where he could show his talents. Thanks Walter for suggesting the other 2 Baldwin brothers come and get their revenge on the 5-0 team. I would like to see that. Still hoping we see Tom Selleck as well. I'm glad to see that they mentioned that Chin was getting help with his grief, and it would be totally in character for him to hide it from his team. I thought they handled that well, I was starting to wonder if they were going to show him care at all that Malia was killed. I like the action things that they are doing, I know there will be those who will complain, "it's not original". Not much can be with all the TV and Movies that have been done in the 60 or so past years. (cont.)
I voted for the boss, and I'm on the west coast, where the student was the ending. I haven't looked at the other endings as yet, but will. I think it was kind of fun to do this. I don't want it every week, but once a season would not be bad.
As for the episode, I liked it. I too was happy to see Sang Min back, and he did show some human traits before regarding his wife and son. I believe it was in season one, when they let him out briefly, then they took him to see his son at either a school or park, where he watched from the car. Loved the ending of that part, I know he is one of the bad guys, but I do feel for him. Kono got to handle things all by herself.
Loved the nephew, who was Danny's sister's son as Mrs. Cleaver said. I hope he comes around again some time. I would love to see the rest of Danny's East Coast family at some point. I'm enjoying this season very much.
