Hawaii Five-O: Any Fans?

[Pahonu]

A warning here . . . so far this discussion has been pretty OK, but please be careful. These discussions are important to have to understand each other, and these topics are being used in current shows so it can be hard to avoid, but this is not a political forum and I don't want this to descend into something we are not around here.

Cool?

I understand Conch. I enjoy a lively debate but if you don’t want it here, then I’m fine with that.

[ConchRepublican]

I am absolutely fine with lively debate, that's the only way to understand different viewpoints, just a warning, and not to you in particular, just in general, to be careful and keep walking the line.

Highest Castle, Deepest Grave

Great episode. Enjoyed the music and the mood.

Jack Lord's acting was really good.

Elements reminded me of some of the Magnum episodes with paintings and infatuation.

Is this the one where they find the skeletons? A very good hook.

The only other thing I can remember is that the baddie is the same actor as played the inspector that Clouseau drives nuts in the Pink Panther movies. LOL! Can’t think of his name.

[T.Q.]

Yep.

Herbert Lom



I recognized him and looked him up.

Ah, the chronically-blinking Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus from the PINK PANTHER movies! Herbert Lom is very good in this episode!

Good point about Lord's acting in this one - he's more emotional here. Actually the MPI episode this one most resembles would be "Skin Deep". Both have a bit of a film-noir feel to them - both borrow quite a bit from the 1944 classic LAURA, where the hero detective becomes infatuated with a dead woman. Here it's via a painting, on MPI it's via her tapes. And just like in the film LAURA, at the end of "Skin Deep" we find out the woman is alive and a different woman was killed in her place.

Original KKC? You mean at the Marks Estate? I don't remember seeing it here. Are you talking about the Mondrago residence (where Lom and his daughter live)? That's actually a historic house if I recall. I forgot what it's called. There's an article about it online. It's located in Manoa.

Not sure.

Early in Magnum there's an entrance to the first KKC?

Where Higgins admits the lads chewed through the wires (can't remember which episode that was).

Thought that was one of the buildings.

This could help. JJ made it a long time ago and updated it as members contributed information.

Can you post a pic of that building that you saw on HFO?

Going back I think I'm way off. It happens frequently.

Thought this looked like walkway where Higgins admitted the lads chewed through the wire.

But it's a house.



I'll take my duffle bag and slink into the streets of Waikiki AGAIN. DOH!

Yeah that house is pretty unique and still stands there today in Manoa. In fact I drove by it without even realizing it back in 2018, d'oh!! There was an article that someone posted here (maybe Sam or Rubber Chicken) some time ago that listed some iconic houses on O'ahu and this was one of them. I don't know if it ever featured on MPI but I immediately recognized it as the Mondrago residence from HFO.

Hi Ivan..
Season 1.. Don't Say Goodbye is the episode that the lads chewed through the wires...

Mondrago house is the Charles Cooke House on Manoa Road.
