@Martinelli and Amazingalex....I agree that we have a slim to none chance of getting this character taken off, but we can still voice our opinions.
I enjoyed last nights repeat. Did you see how Grace Park was able to show caring and empathy towards a victim, (Kevin), that is real acting. The actress that plays Lori does not get that you can be a kickass female and still show believable empathy towards a victim, not the emotionless deer in the headlights stare which the Lori character has perfected. Its just too late to change this character. I am still holding out hope that they only signed her through episode 2-17 because they realize they can't repair the damage already done. I really want this show to succeed.
Pu’olo*” – McGarrett is rocked to his core when Chin Ho tells him some shocking news about Joe White. Meanwhile, Danny plays mid-wife for his ex-wife when she goes into early labor, on HAWAII FIVE-0, Monday, Jan. 16 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
I just noticed that it said 2-13 in the trailer that I picked up when I copied it, but the headline said 2-14 was Pu'olo (The Package), I guess that's a typo.
@Kelly....Welcome to the "It would be better without Lori club". It's growing. Tonight's episode is a repeat from last year, although I would prefer a new one, it does not have you know who.
Hi everyone! I just saw that someone tweeted PLenkov and asked if there was going to be 22 or 24 episodes. He tweeted back that there will be 24. Since the Lori character is only signed thru 2-17, then hopefully that means 7 episodes at the end of the season with no Lori. I'm crossing my fingers that they get back to the core 4. I understand having other characters like Joe, Max, Fong, etc., but I want what made me watch the show in the first place.
@Martinelli...I think that article is an old one. It looks like it did not work out the way they had planned. I hope they realize it. I don't think anyone has interviewed her in a long time, unless its a foreign country that is just getting ready to start up the 2nd season and they have not seen the character yet.
@amazingalex....Thanks, I can handle 1 episode short, but not 7. I like the picture you put next to your name. He is a cutie. Here's rooting for life after Lori.
Wow! I hope since it was for only 4 more episodes and not the rest of the season. Maybe they are trying to find a way to move her (Lori) out. I know 4 more episodes will not change my mind about her.
I did hear back from AOL rocks about the new episodes. They said that they assume that if PLenkov said they would show 2-13 on 1-2-12, then they probably will. She said that they are way behind in filming, because 2-14 was just being wrapped up today, and they usually need to be weeks ahead, it takes 2-4 weeks to film, edit, and then show an episode. She said it could be done that 2-14 would be shown on 1-9-12, but they are not coming back until 1-4-12, so there will probably be more repeats through January. I hope that 2-17 is not the end of the season. I know CBS does March madness college basketball. I hope we get the usual 24 episodes for the year.
Hi Everyone. I was on the AOL rocks website and they are saying that a new episode does not come out until 1-16-12 because of some bowl games. On 11-30-11 P Lenkov twitted that the new episode would come out on 1-2-12. I e-mailed them, but doubt I will get any answer as I did not before.
I do not twitter or face book. If any of you do and can ask PLenkov would you and let us know the answer. I hope we don't have to wait until 1-16-12 for a new episode. Thanks.
@ Martinelli....Lauren German was interviewed, but with magazine type interviews. I know there was one at the beginning of the season that she had with the rest of the H50 cast, (except Scott Caan), that others were talking about, but I could not find it.
I know I said it before in a previous comment, but I was really disappointed that the wedding was not shown more. I agree with Kaydee, that would have been nice to see a traditional Hawaiian wedding, since it was hyped and put in the promo's we should of seen more. And YES, there were lines in the promo's that were cut out. Very Disappointing.
P Lenkov twittered that we will find out who Shelburne is in 2-14 episode. Also that Catherine is coming back in 2-16 (yeah). As far as Lori, you know I agree with the majority.
@ Martinelli....I voted thanks. I usually do not like to do things like that, but this character is frustrating. We all seem to be talking about Lori, instead of the rest of the show, which I am as guilty as anyone. I would much rather talk about the others. But, it seems that they must have extended the contract of Lauren German. I'm hoping since she has bonded with Scott Caan that some of his acting ability will rub off on her and by the end of the season she will be gone or less irritating.
@whodatfan.....Hey, I'm glad you have your own opinion. But not all males like Lori. The ones I know find her attractive, but that's it. No chemistry, no real purpose to be there. The writers did it wrong, should have introduced her gradually and not taken away so much time from the core 4 which made the show. Then, maybe, the majority would have felt better. Also, she needed someone to guide her at the beginning on how to play this character, which she did not get. I'm afraid its too late, they keep trying stuff, but they messed up too badly on this one. The rest of the show is still enjoyable, that's why i still watch.
@ amazingalex...I agree I also like Joe, he is like a substitute father to Steve. I am sure they will be explaining why he does not tell Steve. Although, Steve is a Navy Seal, so I understand why people are getting frustrated.
@ Barbara....I don't watch Castle, but I've never seen so many Castle fans feel the need to bring it up on other websites. Plus, H50, has been beating Castle which is in its 4th season and should have more of a following. But I do understand your frustration with certain things on H50.
Steve putting up with Joe can partially be explained by Joe being the closest thing to a father he has had, since his own father sent him away. Joe certainly is trying to protect Steve, although it may be dragging out too long.
Someone previously asked when the next new episode would be. It would be epi 2.13 and is scheduled for 1-2-12. 3 weeks of withdrawl will happen, but not as long as I thought it would be. The holidays will help.
Epi 2.14 is when we find out who Shelburne is which will air 1-9-12. I know a lot of you think its dragging on too long, but I kind of like it. I do agree I'm getting tired of Joe not telling Steve. We should be seeing Steve going behind Joe with his resources. Do you think Joe tells Steve or Steve finds out on his own?
I don't want to see Lori with any team member. I like Danny and would not wish that on him. He is supposed to have a girlfriend. The "Jersey slip" refers to a move that would get someone out of the handcuffs. Obviously it did not work.
I also do not want to see Kono with Steve. How many people do you know fool around with their boss still have their jobs. No romance between team members. Steve is more like a big brother to her, don't change that. Catherine and Steve should be shown more, if they don't bring her back to kill her off.
I like Kono she is 100X's better then Lori, I hope they find someone outside of the team for her. They are listening some, we are getting more Chin and Kono then at the beginning of the season. I hope it stays that way. I would like to see Danny without his shirt, Scott Caan is not too shabby himself. We got one scene in season 1 and that was it. There are enough bikini's passing by for the guys each episode for the guys.
I was OK with the this show. I agree it was a little disjointed. I did like the story line of the guy in the bunker, it had a few twists on its way to telling us what happened. Yes, someone should have checked the pulse, but that's TV, every show does stuff like that.
Jim G....Fryer did explain that the head of detectives does not usually go out, but that he was not that kind of chief. I can take or leave this character. By the way, even though I don't always agree with you, you do a good job, those are your opinions, and you are not here to solely praise H50. Then the article would be boring if you did. So keep it up, I would much rather you give your honest opinion. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
I was however, very disappointed in the wedding scene. I'm sure a lot was cut out. I was looking forward to this and they ruined it. I thought we would get at least 10 minutes of the wedding, we barely saw any of it. Big disappointment.
Lori and Danny handcuffs. Would be funny if I liked the Lori character, but I agree with amazingalex that they just seem to be writing something for her to be in every episode. I know that 2-13 was suppose to be the last, but there is no sign of her leaving. If they keep her a little more in the back ground like they did this week, then I could tolerate.
Happy Holidays to all.
@ Loretto...Good point, I forgot about the postcards from Japan. They should get back to the "champ box". A thought: maybe Japan is where whoever Joe is hiding was staying, perhaps Steve's Mother, or his Father.
P Lenkov tweeted that we will find out who Shelburne is in the 2-14 episode, which according to my calculations should air on 1-9-12. I wonder if the character Steve will know at that time or just the viewers. I have to admit they are leaving things interesting. I sure hope one of Steve's parents are alive. Also, I hear that Lenkov is trying to bring back Taryn Manning as Steve's sister, but they seem to be having scheduling problems. Her absence during his time in jail and escape was missed. How would a sister not be informed about all this, and not at least show up or call? I would think after her getting kidnapped, and taking pictures of the contents of the champ box, her brother would keep her informed. I hope they address this.
@ amazingalex....works for me. If we have to endure Lori, then keep her away from Steve, keep Catherine with him, she certainly has been loyal to him, helping him out whenever asked. She is Navy, but shows some warmth and not afraid to act like a grown woman.
I'm looking forward to next Monday's epi. I like Chin and Malia, they work well together. I hope they keep it that they. Someone on the team needs a happy home life. The case looks interesting. I want to see how the team reacts to Fry after what he did to Kono.
@jschoi....I know you are young, and I thought the same way when I was your age, but there are all ages who watch this show. The youngest would be Kono who is suppose to be in her early to mid twenties, when actually Grace is older then Alex and Scott, who's characters play mid thirties. Chin is in his forties. Other then guest roles, there are not a lot of teenagers that are navy seals or cops, so hopefully they will have some younger additions that will fit in at some point. Also, I do believe that they meant a recurring role that will help out 5-0, I guess we will see. He is a double emmy winner, so you won't get blank stares. By the way, the recurring roles work with the other cast, not take up the time and push the others aside like the Lori character did.
@Lena.....I'm with you 100%, I want Catherine to be a recurring role also, but I just had that thought. I hope I am wrong.
For those of you who like polls. They have one on Alex Oloughlin Rocks, fan site. Scroll down to the right where the "latests Tweets" section is and look for the 2 Vote for tweets.
One is for "most exciting cast addition" (don't worry its not Lori) its Joe.
Second is "best team we want to be on our side"
I had a bad thought about Catherine, what if they are bringing her back to kill her off? They do like to do that to the women on this show.
Hey everyone! I just read that Ed Asner will be doing Hawaii 5-0 this spring. He did a part about a smuggler 36 yrs ago on the original and will be doing it again, and its a recurring role. He has been in prison since and is now reformed and H50 will be asking for his help. Ed Asner is a great actor, so I'm looking forward to this. They will be using some of the original film that he did 36 yrs ago. H50 does get a lot of good actors to come on their show, and we know this will not be a 3 minute appearance.
@Loretto...I respect your opinion and you cetainly have evidence to back it up. I'm not saying that Lauren is Oscar or Emmy material, far from it, but the character is not being played well, whatever the cause, aren't there suppose to be directors, writers, producers there that are suppose to guide her. I saw some actual facial expression this episode, but its probably too late to change anyone's mind about the character. So if she has been playing this character this way and I'm sure that the powers that be are listening to the complaints as well as the praise, then they must think she is doing a great job otherwise she would be gone. So in my opinion its don't blame the actress.
Also, I thought that the goodbye scene between Steve and Catherine was played well. The expressions on both looked genuine which I thought was good acting. Both had a little teary eyed going on. I'm just not sure what you meant by awkward.
I hope Catherine comes back to stay, but I'm not sure what the actress has lined up. I would be interested in seeing a Lori/Catherine meeting. I'll put my money on Michelle (Catherine) playing it better.
@ Tony D.... on some points I agree with you. This shows story lines are fine. With the exception of one or two episodes this year, its been very entertaining. I don't need all reality, I get that everyday, I want to be entertained, and for the most part I am by H50, and I will continue to watch it. For those who complain that this episode has been done before, you're right. TV has been on since the 50's, of course the situation has been done before, there have been many shows on over the past 60 plus years. Originality comes in bits and pieces not entire situations.
Where I disagree is that I am somehow influenced by other peoples complaints of one character. I am able to make up my own mind, and I did before I ever read any of the other comments about the Lori character. Its not the actress Lauren German, although she is a somewhat stiff, but that may be how she is told to play the part, they do have writers, producers, and directors on the show, and obviously after all the episodes and scenes she has been in the character has about as much warmth as a rock. The McG character was thought to be a little stiff at first, but that was what the character was, a navy seal who he finds out both his parents are murdered. AOL has kept most of the character, but has showed a soft side, without being wimpy, which is why he is such a good actor. Its been way too many episodes for the Lori character, especially being a woman, to show some warmth. The actions of the character, such as running up to McG and giving him a hug, while they are all trying to escape out of North Korea, was totally ridiculous and I think was a "shove it" moment to those who do not like the character. This is the 2nd season, although additional characters such as Max and Joe have a purpose, the 2nd season should have been to continue to develope the core 4 characters, not put on the Lori show and shove Danny, Chin, and especially Kono to the side. They have been resolving this in the last 5-6 episodes, but they took too long. The Lori character needed to be let in slowly, not like the bulldozer they used in the school bus scene.
WOW!...Some of you think Lori is Steve's sister. Then why are they playing it like they are interested in each other. And I'm sorry people, I hate to say it, but it is mutual. If they would have done that from the start, that Lori might be a relative of Steve's, then maybe there would not be an uproar.
But to have them flirt with each other and then have them be brother and sister. I think that is too sick even for Hollywood. I hope that is not right.
Joe is just protecting Steve and the family, I really don't think he is with Wofat. Then why would Wofat try to kill him in his apartment? I'm sure Wofat would end up killing everyone, but not Joe at this point, if he was in with him.
