Season 2 poll – final part

Season 2 – Episode 20 – 23

Here you go; the last 4 episodes for your consideration. The actual poll for season 2 will be activated on Friday.

Credits for the pictures to CBS and as credited on the pictures. Again a big thank you to www.mycoven.com for her incredible work on the screen shots. If there is no credit on the pic, it’s my own screen shot.

Season 2 – Episode 20 – April 9, 2012

Ha’alele

Max reveals shocking information about his childhood to help the team track a serial killer who may have ties to Max’s past.

Season 2 – Episode 21 – April 30, 2012

Pa Make Loa

Danny and Chin Ho partner with NCIS agents Sam Hanna and G. Callen to track down a suspect who’s threatening to release a deadly virus on the population.

This is the first part of the crossover with NCIS:LA which aired the next day.

Season 2 – Episode 22 – May 7, 2012

Ua Hopu

McGarrett finally gets his hands on Wo Fat in a special ops raid he has coordinated with Interpol in Osaka. Their flight back ends in a plane crash on Oahu and he and Wo Fat find themselves on the run from the Japanese Yakuza who have the order to kill Wo Fat.

Meanwhile the team investigates the death of a CIA agent that is related to Wo Fat. They have to hurry to save Steve and Wo Fat from the wrath of the Yakuza, and Kono from Adam Noshimuri.

Things get really complicated when Danny is kidnapped by the CIA.

I’m pretty sure we all remember this episode very vividly without any reminders necessary. 😉

If you also thought that Steve got away too easy from that plane crash you might like to read this little story:

Waking

Season 2 – Episode 23 – May 14, 2012

Ua Hala

Five-0 needs the help of an imprisoned dirty cop to track down a suspect who killed captain Fryer and set off a bomb at HPD headquarters. Meanwhile, Joe White returns and promises to reveal the identity of Shelburne to Steve.

Lots of people are getting shot in this episode, from Fryer over Steve who takes three slugs to the vest while saving Chin, to innocent bystanders. This was probably the episode with the most direct action. The first 30 minutes were just one roller coaster ride from one crime scene to the next. And then the real part of the episode started. The season’s cliffhanger.

Season 2 poll – part 4

Season 2 – Episode 16 – 19

Here you go; the next 4 episodes for your consideration.

Credits for the pictures to CBS and as credited on the pics. Again big thanks has to go to http://www.mycoven.com for her great work on the screenshots. If there is no credit on the picture, it’s my own screen shot.

Season 2 – Episode 16 – Feb. 13, 2012

I Helu Pu

A woman is murdered during the Governor’s fund raising dinner. Five-0 steps in to investigate and get in trouble with the Governor when the team goes too far trying to catch the killer.

Who doesn’t remember this Valentine’s episode? Or the team at the ball, dressed up, and Danny and Steve bickering over Season’s tickets? Or you might remember Steve going over the edge or getting hit by a car. I guess most of all will remember that this was good bye for Lori. And of course we saw Cath again.

If you want to know how their trip to the Enterprise went you might like to read this. Click on image to go to the story.

Going

And if you were bothered by Lori at the hospital instead of Danny, you can find an explanation for that right here: 

Impact

Season 2 – Episode 17 – Feb. 20, 2012

Kupale

Five-0 investigates the murder of a shipping businessman who was supposed to be participating in a historical Hawaiian battle reenactment.

I guess we all remember hundred half naked men running around and battle each other? And I’m sure we also remember Steve smoking the suspect out of his house.

 

Season 2 – Episode 18 – Feb. 27, 2012

Lekio

A retired New York police officer helps the team figure out who killed one of his close friends, a pirate radio disc jockey.

 

 

Season 2 – Episode 19 – March 19, 2012

Kalele

While Steve’s sister Mary is back in town, with yet another new job, and accidentally gets caught in the middle of a plot to smuggle conflict diamonds, Five-0 and Fryer get the help of an elderly ex-con recently released from prison to find the smugglers.

Ed Asner guest stars and picks up his role from 40 years ago, when he last appeared on H50. And the team tries to surprise Steve for his birthday. And obviously Steve managed to convince Danny to go surfing with him.

This is the last episode with AOL until he appears again in episode 22. He missed all in all four episodes. He was not in 20, 21, the crossover with NCIS:LA, and the one episode that was completely cancelled. The season was supposed to have 24 instead of the 23 episodes it ended up with.

 

Season 2 poll – part 3

Season 2 – Episode 11 – 15

Here you go; the next 5 episodes for your consideration.

If not otherwise credited on the picture I did the screen shot. Thanks again mycoven.com for a fantastic job on the screen shots. You should head over to there; the pics for 3.20 are up.

Season 2 – Episode 11 – December 5, 2011

Pahele

Joe White has to appear in front of a board of inquiry to defend his actions as an active member of the Navy in North Korea.

Meanwhile a busload of school children is kidnapped. Soon Five-0 learns that they are held hostage because of their big drug bust a few days ago. The kidnappers want to pressure the Governor into giving back their drugs, confiscated by Five-0.

To make matters more complicated Joe White gets in trouble with a kidnapping of his own.

 

Season 2 – Episode 12 – December 12, 2011

Alaheo Pau’ole

The team gets ready for Chin Ho’s wedding, but their preparations are interrupted by the investigation into a man left for dead in an old WW2 bunker. They team up with Captain Fryer who is searching for the killer of a young woman and it seems their cases are connected. Steve starts to suspect Joe keeping things from him and lying about his knowledge of Shelburne.

 

Season 2 – Episode 13 – January 2, 2012

Ka Ho’ Oponopono

While Five-0 tries to figure out who smothered a high school girl in her bed, the Yakuza targets Joe because they believe he killed their leader.

In this episode we get Ninja-Steve, and for the first time he acknowledges that he was tortured in North Korea. I was hoping we would see more of his coping with that, but I guess that would have taken too much time out of a 44 minute episode. Time restriction is always a big issue with every TV-show. Which is often a shame.

I think this is the episode that even the last person realized that something was terribly wrong with Alex O’Loughlin. It was very obvious that he was really sick. It’s a tragedy that he had to keep going for many more weeks until he could finally take a break. Thank God he came out of that time healthy and happy. I debated to address this or not, but I must admit watching these episodes again, it was a real shock. AOL looks very different now, not just healthy, but really happy, and seeing the episodes from season two does make me sad. Knowing the struggle, the pain from the injury and the illness behind those scenes takes the carefree joy out of the season.

 

Season 2 – Episode 14 – January 16, 2012

Ka Ho’ Oponopono

Five-0 investigates the hijacking of a delivery truck in which the driver is killed, and Danny’s ex-wife goes into labor. Danny spends most of the episode next to Rachel, while Steve and the Yakuza put pressure on Joe to come clean with what happened to Hiro Noshimuri.

I guess we all remember Kamekona’s ‘Five-0, Five-0, what you gonna do, when they come for you’. Bad Boys indeed.

 

 

Season 2 – Episode 15 – February 6, 2012

Mai Ka Wa Kahiko

An enemy from Danny’s past comes to the islands for revenge, and the life of Danny’s daughter could hang in the balance.

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.
