Let’s start with the voting.
I’m not a big fan of Halloween in general. I find it rather weird having kids running around in costumes and take candy from strangers. Many believe Halloween originated in the US and then came over to Europe. They couldn’t be more wrong about that. If you like to know what Halloween is actually about you should read the article on wikipedia, it’s pretty good.
And no, it’s not about getting drunk and dance to wild party music. 😉
Here you go, let’s start with the voting.
Now let’s start with the episode review for 4.05 – Kupu’eu – Fallen Hero
I think the expectations for this episode were almost as high as for 3.20, the episode that brought us the events that lead to the pilot and explained a lot about our SEAL. I also made the mistake to expect an equally epic episode, and was fairly disappointed. But let’s not jump the gun and try to forget what I expected and take a look at what the show actually gave us.
Maybe my verdict will be different at the end of this review than it was right after I watched the show for the first time. 😉
This looks like it could be a lot better than the first Captain America.
Peter Lenkov and Larry Teng shared a lot of pictures from filming episode 4.10 on twitter with us.
It looks really great, I just hope that there will still be plenty of Five-0 in it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure this will be another spectacular episode, I’m just not too keen on watching a flashback episode with none of the main actors in it. So, I hope they will balance it out well. Knowing them though, they probably will.
They are almost done filming 4.10 as Larry Teng told today.
And here are the pics Peter Lenkov shared on twitter. Thanks to the boss for always being so kind and to post little teasers from editing and filming.
You guys remember the picture of the writers’ room a while back?
They were really busy and filled those white boards. Darn that camera angle, would love to read some of that. Or maybe not. Would take a lot of fun out of watching the next episodes. 😉

Thanks to BookemDanno.net we have these great pics to enjoy.
This is the filming of a scene for the Thanksgiving episode that airs later in November.
As always let’s start with the vote
4.04 – A ia la aku – From this Day Forward
or ‘Good Bye Wimp – Hello, Adam‘!
I don’t know who that wimp was, who was running around pretending to be Adam the last couple of episodes, but am I glad ‘my’ Adam of the old days is back. I just hope they will not again break character and forget that he grew up to be the boss of the Yakuza. He doesn’t need little Kono to protect him. Adam had always been a man knowing what to do, knowing how to lead a bunch of Yakuza, and suddenly he was this wimp who hid behind Kono’s skirt? I’m sorry, but that was SO out of character that it was ridiculous. I’m very happy they remembered who Adam is. Thank you, show, for remembering that and giving us Adam back.
Two weeks into season four and we’re already done with three episodes. Before we even know it we’ll be watching the last episode before the Christmas break. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Let’s again start with the vote for 4.03 Ka ‘oia’i’o ma loko (The Truth Within)
.We start the show, like most episodes, with the crime of the week. Did the show ever start any different? Do any of you remember an episode that didn’t start with the COTW? No, previously on doesn’t count. 😉
So, our two future victims had obviously planned a fun night. That of course didn’t last long and they were murdered in a very cold hearted way. Which is kind of out of the norm for ‘art thieves’. But as we learn later they have no qualms about shooting up a museum full of people to get to their goal.
This was an interesting beginning and thankfully not too long. I never like long intros. I like it better when we simply start with the murder, and then learn about the people involved during the episode as they investigate. Showing almost five minutes of pre-show like in 3.04 is a waste of time in my eyes. That time could be used to show us the people we are really interested in. This time though it was shorter, so I’m not really complaining about it.
A few months back, Sam asked if I wanted to post anything to the Mostly Five-0 blog and I said, “Sure.” But then I didn’t have a clue what to post.
After thinking about it over the summer, I came up with nothing. But then I watched Episodes 4.01 and 4.02 and I remembered my biggest PET PEEVE from Hawaii Five-0.
Please don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the show and these episodes (especially 4.01) were great… but there are always little things that bug us. Right? Please tell me I’m not the only one that gets bent out of shape.
No, Cokie, I assure you, you are not alone. 😉
Okay, before we start here again the explanation what Checks Five-0h means. For everyone who didn’t read it last week.
Checks Five-Oh is a Navy-term and basically means: Excellent, in proper working order. Things can also be repaired and gotten into proper working order and then referred to as “checks five-oh.” Derives from the 5-point evaluation system used in the Navy, in which a score of five is given to individuals who perform exceptionally well.
So, now with that out of the way, let’s start as usual with the poll. Let us know what you thought of Friday’s episode.
I was groaning when I heard ‘previously on Hawaii Five-0’ and thought ‘Oh please, not again’. But at least this time it was ‘only’ forty five seconds. But still, I could do without it. I truly hope they will stop with that now. Enough is enough.
