My wife and I just watched the new one. We're figuring that Hess is gonna be the new Wo Fat.
Does anyone remember if they ever caught Wo Fat in the original series?

I saw it last night and predict a short life of this series, I thought it was pretty bad.
 
Thanks, keep forgetting about Wiki.

The new show was pretty good but we're not sure that the new guy playing McGarrett is up to snuff. We'll see.
 
Wiki is not a credible source, but coupled with the youtube clip, I 'spect you can trust Wo Fat fell to his nemesis.....
As far as the NEW show, forget it, I can't make myself watch it
 
I watched it, it will be a one seasoner more than likely. but Scott Caan did a good imression of James Caan
 
I remember that the original was a bit more than a little anti-gun. :(
That rings a bell so I searched and found something about Jack Lord being very anti-gun and when Elvis (a fan of Lord's) met him and gave him a gold plated gun which Lord apparently excepted just to be polite.
 
The original show is one of my all time favorites (the theme song is my cell phone ring tone).
I really liked this one but not on the same level as the original.

I extrrmely disliked them having to show a half naked woman in her underwear /swimsuit. In my opinion that was not needed in this or any show. Because of that my son will not be watching it, and I will be keeping my finger on the FF button (I record it as I go to bed at 8:00 at night).
 
Lord was among the most anti-gun actors in Hollywood, at least as much so as Michael Douglas.

I kind of liked it. I'm glad they kept that fantastic opening score, and James Caan's kid is interesting to watch. I also liked the nod to the original with the big black Mercury under the tarp in the garage.

I wish I worked for a department where you can get shot, kill somebody, and still drive away from the scene 15 minutes later bantering with the new boss.

I agree that the scene with the girl stripping down to her underwear was gratuitous and necessary. I would have been very offended, if she wasn't so hot... I do understand your comments, as I would not want my young son seeing that either, but he's in bed early, and I'm up late...

Overall, I thought the show was pretty good. Good action, but too violent. I actually liked the 'new Jack Lord' guy. Scott Caan was typically a little too much (little guy syndrome...?), but still likable. So, overall IMO, good, but not great.
 
Missed the show, but it is nice to see Grace Park working again. She was a big character in the Battlestar Galactica series on SciFi. One night when I was watching the show my wife made a comment in a voice dripping with sarcasm, "Hmm, cute girl with a gun and her own spaceship; what's not to like". Hey, it works for me.:D
 
I had originally banned the show from my television because of Jack Lord, extended the ban to the new one as well, and yes I am pig headed!
 
I'm going to go watch it again before I cook supper. Wanted to reload but my back hurts too much to concentrate.
 
If the producers had gone on with the title and new young characters with different names, and maybe an oriental lead. I'd give it a shot.

As it is, I've had a belly full of "reimaging" shows.

Who is especially old gray and cynical this evening.
 
Not to go off topic, but I watched the series and it was terrible. I guess the half shaven look and the shirt tails hanging out is the thing now. The acting was terrible. I do not think it will last very long.
