You have a point Lily, as one would need to lighten things up in a place of constant death, but I still think they are taking it beyond the quirky zone and it takes away from the show (borders on being silly) or like B.K. said it's a distraction to the show. I didn't mind his Rainman like features, but him dressing up like a greaser or Matrix character, climbing into caves with Steve, buying Danno's type of car etc. is not really necessary, but that is just my opinion. I would rather see Shave Ice guy get the laughs, a better fit (again, just my opinion).

Its nice to read other points of view here and I can deffo see where you are coming from. Perhaps this zaniness will run its course. but think that Max's character will always be eccentric.

Would like to see the character of Kamekona expanded, so that we might see what his family life is etc.

Tuned in to the re-run last night at the end to see if there was a preview for next week. There is a new episode next week,and it looks like Steve is going to interogate Joe about Wo Fat and his father. Can't wait for 10PM Monday.

I just realized I will be on vacation and away from the availability of a TV on 1/16 when the identity of Shelbourn is revealed....

When I get home I will be heading straight to the DVR!

Brilliant!...........The original had so many incredible guest stars over it's run and this will be an amazing way to link past and present (I wonder if they are going to show any of the original cast members). I just hope that the new H-5-0 will adopt that formula of four or five main characters with a strong guest star list week to week...........

Caught the end of last night's episode and saw Bernard/Mr. Jones get impaled on a spike!

It so weird seeing all these Lost cast members in one show! I'm liking the show a little more now, but it's still too CSI-ish for my liking. I just can't get into that genre. The Oahu locations are still my main draw.

Actually I am liking it because it's not like "CSI"...in my opinioin.

It doesn't really focus on the science and lab tests to solve everything, there's more the "old" style of action, plot lines, and people solving cases. However, I still do like "CSI" once in a while...it just seemed like almost every show went that route and it became over-kill. That's why I really am liking "Hawaii Five-0" (along with the superb filming locales) because it's kind of a refreshing "flash-back" to what shows were like before all the science stuff.

Tonights episode is a rerun

, but next weeks is new...and sounds like it'll be awesome--I think more of Steve trying to figure out what Joe is hiding and how it ties in with "Shelbourne"-(sp?).

I heard about and read the article concerning Ed Asner reviving his "August March" character from the original series, for an episode maybe sometime this next spring. Very interesting...but if they show original series footage, I'm interested to see how they'll integrate that into the new show...as March originally dealt with Jack Lord (original McGarrett)...and in the new show supposedly the original McGarrett never existed.

It's not so much the science, rather the computer technology they use and how fast they use it. They walk into that "war room" (or whatever it's called) where everything is backlit and instantaneously solve cases! Everything about everybody is available them in the blink of an eye. And the manipulation of electronic documents with their hands like Tom Cruise in Minority Report...

I know they are supposed to be this elite crime fighting unit, and the whole "time compression" aspect of television, but man it just doesn't work like that! I say the same thing when I watch Criminal Minds. Both are good shows but sometimes the suspension of disbelief is just a little too much!

Yeah, and the constant Chevy commercial is pretty lame too.

Yeah, that was a bit much.

One gripe I have about it is the way they always announce at a crime scene "5-0!" and everyone instantly knows who they are. If they're so elite and special, how would anyone instantly know what that means?

"Stand back, I'm 5-0."

"Good for you, I'm C3PO."

does seem ridiculous. Like it doesn't sound legal. or to code. or proper protocol. Like they should say Police! rather than announce what could be their birthday. or burger count order for the gang at the office.

"Five Oh!"

"Congrats!, I just turned forty myself!"
