Thankfully this was limited to the first act and wegot more action scenes than I expected, in fact I was surprised how fast it moved, but then again this does come to us from the writers of Transformers and Star Trek Open Bracket 2009 Close Bracket, so that would explain the pace.<br /><br /> I liked the chemistry between MacGarrett and Dan-O, I expect that'll play out for the rest of the show. Really wish we could have seen Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park do more, but thats probably because they were the only regulars I'd know from other shows, so maybe I was just expecting more from them, same with James Marsters.<br /><br />I'm a big "Buffy" fan so I was disappointed he didn't have very much screen time, but his "didn't find a body" exit means we'll probably see him again soon.Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-60166789736761452002010-09-22T09:08:48.564-05:002010-09-22T09:08:48.564-05:00Point : Loved the pilot contained all the elements...Point : Loved the pilot contained all the elements you'd expect from a TV show about cops in Hawaii...great character interaction.<br />Counter: I don't like the idea that everyone is the same as on the original show. Create new characters but call it Hawaii 5-0.<br />Remember the S.W.A.T movie? Like that....it would still work...but that guy...who I can't stand already..is not DAN-0!!!!!<br /><br />AND NOBODY would sock Jack Lord in the face....he always had the upper hand.<br /> Other than that...decent show.Mike D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11814827714980192042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-882416175324791622010-09-21T20:30:31.457-05:002010-09-21T20:30:31.457-05:00That's an interesting point about CSI: Miami. ...That's an interesting point about CSI: Miami. I don't watch any of the CSI shows, so I didn't pick up on that.

Th...I thought I'd hate it, instead I loved it. The begining was very dark, my wife was kinda put off by it. She looked at me and said, "I thought this was going to be a fun show." For me Scott Caan stole the show. The "Bookem Danno" would have been painful if it wasn't for Danno taunting the guy he just cuffed.<br /><br />I'll be checking it out next week too.Ken Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188800655886747121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-49949493118024619602010-09-21T10:28:01.771-05:002010-09-21T10:28:01.771-05:00i missed it, and i did not read your review... i s...i missed it, and i did not read your review... i skimmed over it, for i missed it... i so wanted to see this.... thanks for the solid.<br /><br />:)<br />iZombieJeremy [Retro]https://www.blogger.com/profile/09912258155288958827noreply@blogger.com
