Fall TV Crush: The Boys of Hawaii Five-0
Season Two of Hawaii Five-0 kicked off last Monday and continued last night with a boatload of pretty, and rugged, and nerdy, and handsome, and a little bit of something for everyone for a smorgasbord of hot. You can seriously have a lovely little helping of any type of boy that…
Hawaii Five-0 “E Malama (To Protect)”
Excuse the delay, kids. Tumblr ate my draft (no, really!) Last week’s episode switched things up a bit as Kelly was partnered with McGarrett, Danny went ever so slightly off kilter to protect Grace (and Rachel) while Kono ran point and awesomely told a killer’s attorney exactly what she thought…
Hawaii Five-0 “He Kane Hewa’ole (An Innocent Man)”
The 5-0’s dip a toe into “what’s in the booooxxxxx???†territory when an unfortunate turn of events places Kono and Kelly in a high-speed chase that kills the driver and leads to the discovery of a head in a box. The actual crime turns out to be an even yuckier crime…

TV Goodness All-Star 2010: Alex O’Loughlin, Hawaii Five-0
Alex O’Loughlin I wrote a little bit about the “neener, neener Nina Tassler” aspect of the success of Hawaii Five-0 when the show was picked up for a full season. This item is just to give a booyah shout-out to O’Loughlin for literally waiting out his next opportunity. He didn’t…
Hawaii Five-0 “Palekaiko (Paradise)”
The 5-0s track a honeymoon killer a la A Perfect Getaway this week; we do NOT, however, get a shirtless Timothy Olyphant alongside a shirtless Alex O’Loughlin, and somebody decided that Daniel Dae Kim was too pretty, so he had to wear a wetsuit. Boooo. We get some tangential family…
Hawaii Five-0: “Nalowale (Forgotten/Missing)”

Hawaii Five-0: “Lanakila (Victory)”
Well this was by far the darkest of the episodes that have aired, and it was an out-of-order swap, originally scheduled to air next week. The episode follows the bloody trail of an escaped convict, Walter Dawkins, played by Balthazar Getty, as he tracks down a presumed-dead associate who took…
Hawaii Five-0 “Ohana” (Family)
Behold the power of cheese! I love this goofy show, and trust me when I tell you I am a discerning cheese TV consumer. I adore finding a show that lets me leave my brain on the charger for an hour without making my head hurt from overwhelming stupidity or…
Hawaii Five-0 “Pilot”
Alex O’Loughlin is back on my TV! Alex O’Loughlin is back on my TV! Wheeeee! Ahem. Full confession: I LOVED Moonlight. I cackled loud and long when TPTB at CBS realized their misstep and bent themselves silly trying to get him back into a project. I abhor medical dramas but…
