Let’s start with information about Thanksgiving in the United States for all the non-US-readers.

Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been an annual tradition since 1863, when, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens”, to be celebrated on Thursday, November 26. As a federal and public holiday in the U.S., Thanksgiving is one of the major holidays of the year. Together with Christmas and New Year, Thanksgiving is a part of the broader holiday season.

American football is an important part of many Thanksgiving celebrations in the United States. Professional football games are often held on Thanksgiving Day; until recently, these were the only games played during the week apart from Sunday or Monday night. The National Football League has played games on Thanksgiving every year since its creation. The Detroit Lions have hosted a game every Thanksgiving Day since 1934, with the exception of 1939–1944 (due to World War II). In 1966, the Dallas Cowboys, who had been founded six years earlier, adopted the practice of hosting Thanksgiving games. It is widely rumored that the Cowboys sought a guarantee that they would regularly host Thanksgiving games as a condition of their very first one (since games on days other than Sunday were uncommon at the time and thus high attendance was not a certainty).

Before we start with the review let me say that I don’t think I ever smiled, giggled and laughed out loud as much during an episode of Hawaii Five-0 as I did this time. This was such a fun show to watch, so I hope you will have at least a little fun reading the review.

Normally we get the Crime Of The Week in the first few minutes of an episode, and it looked like it would be the same this time around. But very soon it became clear that was not the case.

We are in Tokyo and for the first time in many weeks we see Kono reunited with Five-0, well, sort of.

The four Five-0, NinjaSteve, NinjaChin, NinjaCath and NinjaKono, kidnapped Sato to learn where Adam is, or if he even is still alive. And can I just say how absolutely great they all looked? Yes, even the nice looking baddie. So much pretty in one place, damn. 🙂

This episode was for sure anticipated by many. Not just to see what would happen with Catherine’s investigation into the Adam/Kono storyline, but mostly because of the ‘baby-pictures’. And of course the cute sneak peek.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves, let’s start at the beginning. And what a nice beginning it was. Catherine was getting ready for her undercover job to find out the whereabouts of Sato, the guy who took Adam. A short question here. Why do they even think that he’s still alive? And if he is, why is that? I mean we learned that there was a price on his head, and the last guys trying to kill him where not there to take him into custody. They would have killed Adam and Kono without any questions asked. So, why would Sato keep him alive for so long now? Doesn’t make much sense to me. But since the whole Adam/Kono thing doesn’t make any sense to me, better not dwell on it. 😉

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. 😉

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. 😉

4×10 spoilers

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.

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.
