Checks Five-Oh – Release 4.04

FI 4-04

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.

Checks Five-0h – Release 4.03

FI 4-03

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.

Checks Five-0h – release 4.02

FI 4-02

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.

Checks Five-0h – Release 4.01

FI401

Welcome back to season four and a new review for Hawaii Five-0. I hope you all had a great summer.

You might have noticed the new kinda strange title for this? Well, let me explain it. ‘Random thoughts’ just didn’t cut it anymore. It might have started with simple rambling about the episodes, but I feel it developed into more than that. And therefore I thought we needed a new title.

Checks Five-Oh actually is a Navy-term that I think is very fitting. Hopefully for most or all of the episodes.

Here is the explanation for Checks Five-Oh: 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.

And fitting to that we will also have a new rating system. One to five points. In the hope never to actually have to give just one point. But we’ll see.

Before we get into the review, let’s hear your opinion in the vote. Tell us what you thought about this one. If you like you can leave comments. Would love to hear from all of you.

All screenshots were done by me. And thank you Global for airing the show without your logo or CBS’ on it.

And now, let’s begin.
