Now that I have vented in previous comment. This was a good episode, not up to the premiere or last weeks, but still entertaining. More pieces to the puzzle.
I like that Lori is not hogging all the time and pushing out everyone except Steve.
I'm sure Joe probably is hiding one of McG's parents. I was thinking more of his father, which since we did not see actual body, it may be that Joe saved McG senior, and the shot heard and Hesse not saying anything will be explained in the future. Remember anything can happen in TV, its still entertaining.
@Jim... I did not think of Steve's mother, but you make a good point for her being alive or Shelburne. Steve's father asking Wofat in the tape about Shelburne may have been just to see a reaction, as Joe did when Wofat broke into his apartment. If Shelburne is discovered, then does this mean Wofat is not long for the show? What do you think?
Why is it that every week someone brings up that this situation is not real or that would never happen. This is TV, its not real. Name one TV or movie, that is not about a true story, has everything in it that would happen. Its entertainment, last week the team getting in and out of North Korea in an old helicopter without being detected was not probable, but it was damn entertaining. The James Bond movies, does anyone think that all that stuff happens. Yet I bet most of you have never missed one and will make sure you see the next one. It's not real, just enjoy the entertainment.
If anyone is interested, spoiler tv is running a poll, you need to google,
SPOILER TV POLL, look for, "which of these shows will you be watching". Castle fans are stacking the deck, so vote for H50. Of course the ratings will tell the real story.
@jschoi...I felt that the Kono character was being pushed aside earlier in the season in favor of Lori, but in the last 4-5 episodes, Grace Park is getting more screen time as are Danny and Chin. I think Grace Park is safe, she is great as Kono. We love her in America as well. If they ever did that, (unless Grace herself wanted off the show), there would be a big fan outcry. I don't think they are that stupid.
They are giving Chin and Kono more time, Lori a little less, and Steve and Danny are being shown as partners. They may hear us, but won't ever admit it.
I wish I was as confident, but who knows why they had her talk to Chin in that uncomfortable scene, be in the locker room during the fight scene, and he gives her a look before he goes into the ring, he asks her if she went to the halloween party alone, and she runs up to him in the last episode to give him a hug. These are all opposite actions to what they are saying, that Lori is not a love interest.
I don't know if that is to throw us off for what they have in mind, get back at us for wanting the character off the show, or there will be a romance between Steve and Lori. I love this show, so I will continue watching, but I so do not want McG with any member of the team. I would not mind an outside love interest. I will be able to tolerate if she is a team member, but a love interest is a whole different thing. Unless that gets her killed off. Again, I have nothing against the actress, its not her decision, she applied for a job and got it.
@ amazingalex... Thanks for the info. I know about the AOL rocks fan site, I wasn't sure what BTS was and now I know.
I read the article on Lauren German and I think you are right, she will be here until the end of the season at least. I hope there is not any romance between Lori and Steve. I was thinking that they were starting to back off a little, but now who knows. Maybe she just said that to get her critics angry?
Anyway I will just try to enjoy the upcoming episodes. I'm looking forward to tonights episode, looks good. Thanks again for the clarification.
@ amazingalex, I don't know what BTS is. I have seen some pictures of the 2-13 episode, but none where you see a close up of Steve's face, but the hooded person does go off the cliff. Where did you see these? Thanks for letting us know.
episode 2-11 looks great for monday. They have Hiro Noshimuri back with his son Adam, who looks like he is in the credits for the 2-12 episode. Maybe we will get more answers about Steve's parents murders. The school bus kidnapping looks really exciting. I know I'm going to enjoy this episode, but since I saw the wedding photos, I'm really waiting for the 2-12 episode.
I hope that if something does happen that it won't have anything to do with Chin and Malia, but you are all probably right, they may want to keep us hanging for a couple of weeks until the first January episode.
I think the writing and stories have been so much better the last 3-4 episodes, makes me feel that this show will do well and we will have another season after this.
Hey everyone! I know this is jumping ahead to episode 2-12, but there are pictures of Chin and Malia's wedding out. It looks like a traditional Hawaiian wedding. Everyone looks great. Kono is in the wedding, yes Lori is there but she is seated with Max as a guest. (maybe they have been listening).
Sorry guys that this is more of a woman thing, but we do like to see weddings. I'm sure they will blow something up soon.
Google: aoltv.com, put hawaii five o in the search, go down about five articles and you will see "exclusive first look: a TV wedding hawaii five o style", click on that.
Looks great, maybe they will have a normal wedding where no one gets knocked off.
I saw an interview where he admitted that one of his biggest flaws was his cursing. Have you seen bloopers before, or seen "Inside the actors studio", thats 90% of the actors today dropping the "F bomb" amoung others every chance they get. I never met AOL, he could be the sweetest person in the world, or he could be the biggest jerk. I'm sure he has his good and bad days. I don't intend on meeting any celebrity, pro sports figure, or any other type of public person.
I hope that I have enough grip on reality to know that they are human beings, and also try not to take what they say so personally. Everyone interprets things differently. Sometimes we need to look in the mirror.
Pressures to be perfect all the time can take a toll on anyone.
I guess if you are still looking at all the interviews, he must not be so bad.
@ Stacey...Hey, if you don't like him, that's fine, you have that right. But just because my opinion is different from yours does not mean that I am making excuses for anyone. I believe he did not mean anything by that and that is my right.
I don't agree with people who like the Lori character, but that does not mean that I don't respect their right to disagree. I'm happy for you that you have never been misunderstood or said anything that was taken out of context.
By the way, his girlfriend, who I am sure he has been seeing for awhile, is an American and who he claims to love. So why would he piss off her family and a entire country. He understands that this is where his career would take off, that is why he worked so hard to get here. How many Americans have pissed off other countries by saying things that were misunderstood?
@Veronica...I saw the interview and I don't think he meant anything by that. He was speaking to a European crowd and he just mentioned that the Europeans get irony, and that the Americans did not as much. He lives here in the U.S. and had always said how much he likes it and the people. I am an American and I know we are not perfect.
Alex is not getting cocky. We all say things that are taken out of context and say things that we wish we could take back. He has a good heart from what I see and always talks about giving back to the community.
I actually saw pictures of her in that same blouse in early November. All five of them were on a break, checking their phones, sitting in a dump truck scoop (if that is what you would call it), trying to get some shade. The dump truck looks as though its in the next episode putting dirt on the school bus. I do believe that they are all on break for the holidays as Jim G. had said they did last year. I heard that Lauren German was back in LA, so I assume Grace Park is in Canada with her husband, Alex is in Australia with his son, Scott is in LA. The only one who's family is in Hawaii is Daniel. They start filming in July so they should be ahead since the season did not start until September.
Unfortuneatly, that means the fate of the Lori character has already been decided, and since they are not talking, we won't find out until we watch episode 2-14 in January.
I think they may have listened some, because we got Steve/Danny back as partners, and there has been a little less of the Lori character, although, Kono is still behind her in screen time, which still irks me.
@Tamara, Hey I think Max and Lori would be good, especially after the "Grease" costumes. I liked Catherine also, but I don't think she is coming back. Although, they did leave it open. I'm hoping McG finds someone normal, and who will settle him down a little, showing the Lori character how really stupid she looks going after her boss.
I guess we can hope. I'm really looking forward to the next 2 episodes. I do love this show, despite someone annoying in it.
Wow! I hope you are wrong about Malia. I would like to see one of them have a stable home life. I know people like to say this is a cop show, and it is, but it is driven by the characters in the show, and you have to show a personal side to the characters.
@amazingalex: You had said earlier that the Lori character may be extended, and I think you are right. I guess we have to live with it. I too will try to look past my dislike of the character, and enjoy the rest of the show. I hope they at least give her less time then she has had though. I still am missing Kono being in there more often. At least they are showing that Danny is Steve's partner and not Lori. I will try not to cringe. You are right that its a long wait until the next new episode after the 12/12/11 episode. A little withdrawal will happen.
Getting back to the program and leaving the bickering behind. I liked this episode, but I'm rarely disappointed in most of the episodes. I think that the two actors playing father and son were excellent. They work well together, and are realistic as father and son. I love Ziva just as she is, and all the other characters in this show. With all your complaints it still remains the highest rated drama on TV. Your still watching other wise you would not be commenting, so you must like it also.
I too sent a message in to the CBS feedback. An easy way is to go into CBS.com and scroll down any page, then click on feedback and the form will come up.
I agree with Amazingalex and Jeri please do not get nasty, be logical, nothing personal about anyone. Simply explain why you feel the character is not working. I did not want to sign the petition because too many people were getting too personal, after all this was not Lauren German's idea, she just applied for a job and got it.
Thank you, Amazing Alex, Tamara, and Suzy Q. VJ are you sure you understand the show. If you cut out AOL, you do not have a show. The only reason any of the other characters are there is because of what happened to Steve and his family. That is why 5-0 exists. Steve's part was the only part not cut dramatically when Lori came onto the scene. At least they did something right there. Steve McG is the lead and that will never change, if it does, then the show is gone.
Thank you Nick. I also have watched all the episodes, most numerous times. This is entertainment, Hollywood, NOT REALITY. Everything in every show is not reality based. It's there for entertainment. Stop with the factual stuff and enjoy the show. It's great enterainment, if you can't stand it then why do you watch TV at all. You can say the same thing about every single show, including the horrible so-called reality shows. Why not watch them and leave the real entertainment shows alone.
Great Episode! I think the writing is coming back and they are starting to get back to what they had with season 1.
Jimmy Buffet was superb. Played very well. I thought it was hilarious when they took off, he shoved in an 8 track and played music. I like the little references they make, such as "I prefer a marguerita". It has nothing to do with the episode, but its like an inside joke. I hope they keep doing those.
Wofat is still at large, I'm with you Jim, I would prefer to see Steve personally blow his head off, but I'm glad he is still here, that means Joe White is still around as long as Wofat is, and I like the White character.
As for Lori, still not a fan. I would have preferred more Kono, but at least they kept her in the helicopter, and I did like the blowing up of the bridge. I almost started to tolerate until she leaps out of the helicopter to give Steve a hug. It was something other then the robot look. I'm not sure if the writers are trying to make us like her, or trying to tick us off.
I haven't decided yet. None the less, I am not going to stop watching this show as others have said they would. I truly enjoy it, especially since they are giving more time back to the original characters, although they are way behind with Kono. Chin did break it off, and I liked the fact that he corrected his mistake. I hope we see a wedding scene, I sure would like to see all these hot guys dressed up.
I'm glad we have a new episode coming in 2 wks. I could not believe that they would leave a six week gap between new episodes. I'm still watching.
People, really, this is entertainment. It's Hollywoods take on real life.
They try to be as factual as possible, but its hard to tell a story in 60 minutes. This is an escape from our own day, but ITS NOT REAL. Just enjoy the great stories and wonderful acting.
Sorry the link did not work. try pulling up his name on the internet and you will see 2 fansites, one is AOL rocks. They have him being interviewed in a black shirt.
Hi everyone. Maybe you should check out the link below. There is a short 16 second part of an interview, of AOL on McG and a love interest.
The question was basically will McGarrett have a love interest in season 2?
Of course he is not the writer or producer, but might have enough influence.

I very much liked this episode. Let us remember its a TV show, and is here to entertain us. Don't expect everything to be factual. The acting is exceptional in this series. I hope they have Gibbs find someone, even though his first wife is the only one he will truly love. This show, had shown that he had feelings for a female marine, before he actually married Shannon. Maybe there is hope for him. Ziva was her usual self. I was getting worried about the Tony character, they showed him becoming more mature in previous episodes and then the last year and a half, he regressed to the first few seasons. This episode revealed some of his fears, and hopefully with the next episode more will be revealed, and Tony will become more mature, although I do like his joking nature. I love this show.
Let's give Lauren German some credit where it is due. According to the males in my circle, they all thought that she did look hot, and that she is an attractive woman. That did not change their minds about the character overall. I'm sure more of you would like to be able to pull off that outfit. Personal attacks on her looks, are not called for.
P.S. Castle fans, stick to your own website. Castle is in its 4th season and should have more of a following, but H50 seems to be too close to their numbers in their 2nd year for all of Castle's fans comfort. If its so good then what are you worried about. I'm sticking with H50.
