Season 2 poll – part 2

Here you go; the next 6 episodes for your consideration.

Most of the screenshots I did myself; otherwise as credited as on the pictures. Special thanks to mycoven.com for providing such great shots.

Season 2 – Episode 5 – October 17, 2011

Ma’eme’e

The University of Hawaii women’s volleyball coach is killed, and Five-0’s investigation leads back to the disgraced ex-cop that Kono now works for.

Maybe you remember this one best for the great cargument about life in Hawaii with all its expenses. And that Danny might lose his apartment soon.

Or maybe for the Chin and Malia storyline, if you can call their short date a storyline.

Some of you might mostly remember it because of Kono’s storyline that comes to an end in this one. I really liked the scenes in the ‘blue room’ but thought it ridiculous that the head of the task force had not been informed about the undercover op. I mean, even the fans ‘knew’ about it. Or is there even one fan out there who didn’t know she was working undercover?

I didn’t want to give an opinion on the episodes, but on this I can’t resist. Simply because I think they could have done so much better with this whole Kono thing. For me that was simply illogical and the whole mess didn’t make much sense. No bad guy with half a brain would have fallen for her story. But that is just my opinion, and I’m biased because I’m not a fan of Kono.

I would love to hear your thoughts about this ep. If you have a minute, please leave a comment.

 

Season 2 – Episode 6 – October 24, 2011

Ka Hakaka Maika’i

While Five-0 tries to figure out who killed a well-known Honolulu businessman, Joe gets an unwelcome visitor while trying to search for answers about the video.

Do I need to say more than MMA episode?

 

 

Season 2 – Episode 7 – October 31, 2011

Ka Iwi Kapu

Two ghost-hunting filmmakers are killed at a historic traditional burial site, and when the team discovers more dead bodies at the site, they suspect they could be after a serial killer.

Who doesn’t remember Danny acting like a total jerk? I don’t know why he was written this way, but his disrespect was disturbing. To say the least.

 

Season 2 – Episode 8 – November 7, 2011

Lapa’au

When an ICE agent is killed, Five-0 must find out which smuggling ring she was investigating in order to find her killer.

I guess everyone remembers the ‘dog’ riding shotgun, and the boys watching ‘Enemy Mine’? 🙂

 

 

Season 2 – Episode 9 – November 14, 2011

Ike Maka

Five-0 tries to uncover the identity of a man who recently had plastic surgery but was found dead in the trunk of a stolen muscle car; which will hopefully lead them to his killer.

So, Danny is living with Steve for a couple of weeks now, and the boys are driving each other nuts. Well, what did you expect? LOL

You should all do yourself a favor and go to ‘An Intense Study’ and visit this post: http://alexoloughlinintensestudy.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/undressing-steve-episode-209/

Another fun ‘recap’ of the episode.

 

 

Season 2 – Episode 10 – November 21, 2011

Ki’ilua

While Five-0 investigates the death of a reporter, Jenna returns to ask McGarrett for help finding her fiancé in North Korea. Steve discovers too late that she had been working for Wo Fat for some time and was just luring him to North Korea to exchange him for her fiancé. It is up to Joe White to organize the rescue mission into enemy territory to rescue Steve with the help of his friends and members of a SEAL team.

 

 

Season 2 poll – part 1

Now that we are done with season 1 (Have you voted yet? If not use the menu to go to the voting page.) we can go on to season 2.

Here are the next four episodes to consider for our poll for season 2.

Season 2 – Episode 1 – September 19, 2011

Ha’i’ole

McGarrett escapes from Halawa prison and sets out to get Wo Fat. His disbanded Five-0 team and a man who trained him are more than willing to help.

Who doesn’t remember the fight with Victor, and Steve jumping out of the ambulance? And how his escape ended on the bathroom floor of their ME Max Bergman, passed out from blood loss? Or maybe you remember the absolute great cargument in Max’s Warp 9. Whatever the case, this was one hell of an episode.

Season 2 – Episode 2 – September 26, 2011

Ua Lawe Wale

The governor appoints a new member to the Five-0 team, while they are trying to find a kidnapped 15-year old girl. Meanwhile, Kono is under investigation by Internal Affairs.

Who doesn’t remember Lori? Or Steve and Danny on horses?

Season 2 – Episode 3 – October 3, 2011

Kame’e

As a favor for his former CO Joe White, Steve asks Max to reopen a case on an apparent suicide. A SEAL had killed himself and Joe doesn’t believe that to be true. As it turn out he was right. More members of a certain SEAL team turn up dead. In the subplot of the episode Kono contemplates a job offer from the underworld.

So, any idea what operation Strawberry Fields was? Maybe we will learn about it in 3×20; but I’m not holding my breath.

Season 2 – Episode 4 – October 10, 2011

Mea Makamae

The team discovers that a dead salvage diver was looking for more than sunken treasures. Chin Hi discovers that Kono accessed his HPD account, and McGarrett seeks the help of Catherine Rollins to figure out what’s delaying the DOD findings about his father.

 

Most of the screen shots I did myself, otherwise it’s noted on the pictures. Thanks to CBS for the promo pics.

Number one – final part season 1

Here are the next five episodes to consider for our poll.

The actual poll will be posted later today and will be open until we start the final round of the favorite episodes from all seasons.

Season 1 – Episode 20 – April 11, 2011

Ma Ke Kahakai

The team investigates the death of a commercial fisherman whose body was found in an unexpected place, while the imminent death of Chin Ho’s aunt could reveal surprising new details about the stolen drug money.

I doubt that this episode is remembered because of the crime of the week. 😉 I will bet good money that most remember it for Steve and Danny going hiking, with Steve ending up with a boulder to his head and falling down the cliff. Breaking his arm in the process and getting some nasty abrasions. Kudos to the make-up department for that. They looked pretty good.

 

 

Season 1 – Episode 21 – April 18, 2011

Ho’opa’i

Five-0 turns up the heat on a crime boss after the safe house of an undercover police officer who infiltrated his organization is compromised and his wife is killed.

Well, there was a lot of hype about P Diddy guest staring. I think he was rather boring and I gladly could go by without those supposedly great guest stars. But of course that is just my opinion.

You might remember this one for Kamekona trying to cook breakfast for Steve for a whole week.

 

Season 1 – Episode 22 – May 2, 2011

Ho’ohuli Na’au

While investigating the murder of a professional photographer, Five-0 discovers a connection to a local bookie. Meanwhile, Chin Ho covers for his uncle and claims that he has stolen the drug money.

The cast is off and Steve is enjoying a run up a trail. And we can enjoy the scenery. 😉

 

Season 1 – Episode 23 – May 9, 2011

Ua Hiki Mai Kapalena Pau

Danny is exposed to sarin while Five-0 tries to track down Wo Fat, and Chin Ho’s plan to quietly return the money his uncle stole gets busted when IA finds out about it.

Uncle Steve makes an appearance, and we learn that Danny has an affair with a married woman. Has for a few weeks actually.

 

Season 1 – Episode 24 – May 16, 2011

Oia’I’o

After one of Governor Jameson’s assistants is killed, McGarrett discovers that the governor may have been working with Wo Fat and may have been the target of his father’s investigation. Things get complicated when Steve is framed for Laura Hills’ murder.

 

Number one – part four

Here are the next five episodes to consider for our poll.

Season 1 – Episode 15 – Jan. 23, 2011

Kai e’e

The island’s leading tsunami expert is kidnapped on the same day that ocean reports indicate that a huge tsunami is headed to Hawaii. However, Five-0 soon suspects that the report is a hoax and is related to the kidnapping.

This was the episode with the most viewers so far. Over 19 Million. Of course that was due to the fact it aired on a special day on Sunday after football.

Most people will probably remember this episode for the ‘not-missing’ 10 Million Dollars from the HPD locker. And Danny was getting surfing lessons. And of course Catherine was back.

 

Season 1 – Episode 16 – Feb. 7, 2011

E Malama

McGarrett and Chin Ho try to rescue and protect a federal witness on the run from assassins, while Danny tries to get to the bottom of his daughter and ex-wife’s carjacking.

In this episode we have Chin and Steve building a team, with Kono staying back at the courthouse, and Danny solving a problem of his own.

 

Season 1 – Episode 17 – Feb. 14, 2011

Powa Maka Moana

Five-0 searches for a group of Spring Breakers who are being held for ransom by a group of pirates.

This is the one where Danny and Steve push the Marquis up the Pali Highway, and Danny is NOT thrilled about it. And he is even less impressed with Steve’s methods to open a door. 🙂

 

Season 1 – Episode 18 – Feb. 21, 2011

Loa Aloha

While Five-0 races to stop a mad bomber before he kills again, Danny gets an unexpected visit from his little brother, Matt, a fun-loving, Wall Street broker. The family reunion is cut short, however, when Danny discovers the real reason that Matt is in Hawaii.

I’m still waiting for brother Matt coming back, or at least hear about his fate. But nothing so far. Not even a mention in passing.

 

Season 1 – Episode 19 – March. 21, 2011

Ne Me’e Laua Na Paio

A costumed comics convention superhero fell to his death, pushed from his hotel balcony, but only as the victim of a drunken rooms mix-up. The team must work out how a ransacked room, no robbery, compromising pictures and adultery fit together. Steve rightly mistrusts a self-styled CIA-agent, works out she’s a mere analyst and not even assigned, but decides to collaborate as she has indications his father’s killer may have worked for Yakuza boss Wo Fat. Danny grumpily started dieting for his worried brat’s sake.

And not to forget Johnny, the most stupid, but lovable baddie ever.

 

Here are the rules again:

  • After we are done with one season I will post the poll for that season.
  • In the poll you can choose up to 8 episodes.
  • When you’ve picked 8 episodes for each season we will have a full set of 24 episodes to choose from in our final poll.
  • At the end you can then name 5 episodes out of those 24 elected.

Most of the screen captures I did myself, a few are from AOLRocks. Promo pics from CBS or as on the pics indicated.
