A look back at 2.11

Here is the next part in my series of unpublished old reviews.

Let me start again with a strong reminder that this was written right after the episode aired. So, a long time ago. Forget all what we know now. LOL

Thanks to CBS and http://www.mycoven.com for some of the pictures.

2.11 PaheleDec. 5, 2011

A team of drug dealers kidnaps a busload of school children in order to get Five-0 to return the drugs they confiscated, while Joe White goes on a personal mission to uncover the identity of “Shelbourne” before Wo Fat does.

It certainly wasn’t as epic as 2×10, but hey I guess that one put the bar really high. I mean it took 33 episodes for me to get an episode that is right up there with the pilot. Just love the pilot to pieces, don’t even know anymore how often I have watched that part. But back to 2×11, which I think it was a very solid episode.

I truly enjoyed the ride. It has great team work in it, some good Steve and Danny time, some action and drama and some more mystery stuff about Shelburne (or however that is spelled).

Here is how you voted.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in this.

If you see that ‘only’ 47 people voted, the final results are even more amazing. The percentage on the second graphic is based on all votes, not on voters.

If you take the voters and not the votes (voters x 5) in account, then The Pilot
gathered 75 %.

1.01 – 75 %

3.20 – 68 %

2.10 – 60 %

2.01 – 53 %

then a long time nothing, followed by

Since I can’t decide if my favorite episode is 1.01 or 3.20 I’m really happy with this ranking.

Watch the CBS preview from 2010 🙂

See how the iconic theme song came back to life.

And now how you can have fun with the theme song. 🙂

One more really great one.
