‘H50’: An Hour I’ll Never Get Back

Apr 21, 2013By Stu

Season 3, Episode 20 of CBS’s Hawaii Five-0 is little more than a time killer. Actors Terry O’Quinn and Jimmy Buffett guest star as McGarrett mentor Joe White and helicopter pilot Frank Bama, respectively, but add little to the plot – whichRead more…

‘H50’ Viewers-Choice Gimmick Fails on Multiple Levels

Jan 15, 2013By Stu

Halloween Is Early; McGarrett Mom Doesn’t Scare Easily

Oct 16, 2012By Stu

Hawaii Five-0 viewers never know what kind of show they’re going to see in a given week. Last week’s episode didn’t bring much plot development – long- or short-term. It mostly offered bickering between McGarrett and Danno, which I’ll charitablyRead more…

‘H50’/’NCIS: LA’ Crossover Masks McGarrett Absence

‘Hawaii Five-0’ Gets the Band Back Together

Sep 25, 2011By Stu

By Stu Robinson, It took me a few days to recover from whiplash following the season premiere of CBS’ Hawaii Five-0. No, not really. It just seemed like it. I went into the Season 2 premiere wondering how the H50Read more…

Lost: The Substitute

Feb 18, 2010By AmyV

One of many things I love about Lost is that they are so meticulous about titling their episodes. “The Substitute” works on so many levels. Most obviously, Locke finds his calling, perhaps, as a substitute teacher (I’ll get to BenRead more…
