Hawaii Five-0 “Na Me’e Laua Na Paio (Heroes and Villains)”
The gang came back early (yay!) before CBS commences NCAA festivities, with a Comic-Con type episode that diverted to a completely unrelated sex-and-murder mystery. Plus, guest stars D.B. Sweeney and Perrey Reeves!
Hawaii Five-0 “Loa Aloha (The Long Goodbye)”
Catching up, y’all. Thanks for waiting! So, the stunt casting of Dane Cook as Danny’s brother did NOT suck. Shock me, shock me. shock me. I did, however, want to see Danny nut up and wing him to keep him safe, but alas, then we couldn’t have him come back…
Hawaii Five-0 “Powa Maka Moana (Pirate)”
Well, stunt casting didn’t serve the story with last week’s outing about a kidnapped pleasure cruise of 12 college kids during Spring Break. As the CBS promo monkeys were happy to sound out, this week’s guesters were Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey (and also Ray Wise and Stacey Edwards, who weren’t…
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 “Kai e’e (Tidal Wave)”
It’s a little sketchy to me to set an episode around a tsunami but I guess you work with what you got, and if it were set on the Gulf Coast, nobody’d sneeze about a hurricane, so there’s that. We begin early in the morning on an already-crowded beach, as…
Guest Star Goodness: Castle “Knockdownâ€
There was so much goodness going on in tonight’s episode. I’m going to take a step back from all the major stuff (Beckett gets one step closer to her mother’s killer; THE KISS; Esposito and Ryan almost die; THE KISS) to focus on faces we don’t see every week on…
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…
Guest Star Goodness: Hawaii Five-0 “He Kane Hewa’ole”
Since Hawaii Five-0 debuted on CBS in September, each episode has featured a number of interesting guest stars, some more notable than others. This week’s guests make for some guest star goodness. “He Kane Hewa’ole†focused on the disturbing case of a head found in a bloody box after a…
Hawaii Five-0 “Ke Kinohi (The Beginning)”
It was family night this week on Hawaii Five-0as the Yakuza seriously misjudge the lengths McGarrett will go to to avenge his mother and protect his sister. Game on, y’all. We begin at Casa McGarrett with a sleeping McGarrett startled awake by someone downstairs. He draws on a masked burglar…
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…
