at the most recent commercial I've seen for this series. There is a sequence where Scott Caan is squeezing off a couple rounds from a semi-auto pistol. If you watch closely, you can see him squinting and grimacing, maybe even closing his eyes, as if he is scared to death while firing his gun. I would be embarrassed if I were him seeing this commercial on national TV. He should spend some time on the range and learn how to shoot with confidence, instead of looking like a pansy shooting a gun for the first time...

I've only glanced at the show but my wife gave it up because she can't stand the constant blabbering banter his character has to do. This is very common in shows now for some reason. In NCIS Mark Harmon has to stand there and wait for that chick with the pigtails and that idiot he slaps on the head to finally shut up.
All these actors should go to that live ammo course Robert DiNiro and Val Kilmer did for "Heat". And writers should sit down and watch a Steve McQueen movie to see how much can be said without words. But maybe they just have to deal with the short attention spans of people with a control and eight million other channels to watch nowadays.
 
Have a look at Mel Gibson on the firing range in the original Lethal Weapon! Turble, just turble. :D
 
I mainly watched Hawaii 5-0 to see Lauren German, and she left or was fired. But Grace Park isn't bad. She looks like an older version of my favorite waitress at the Outback, who is half-Korean. I told her and the manager that tonight, and the manager got out his super cellphone with Net capability and looked up Grace and agreed. Both the waitress and Ms. Park look good in black shirt and black jeans.

Anyone else see that episode the Monday before the Vicky's Secret show, with Behani Prinsloo in a cameo role, with a Vicky's tent at the beach? Caan was talking to her. Both shows were on CBS, so I guess it was a promo deal.

Back to Five-0, I think I saw the other male star, whose name escapes me at the moment (Somebody O'Laughlin?) use a P-226. Lauren German's character had a Glock. She told an interviewer that she was afraid of it. Typical TV star...
 
Aloha,

I live here and I don't watch it.

FYI, the Camaro they drive is a V-6.

I used to watch it trying to figure out Where they were filming.

I prefer Magnum over 5-0
 
Well, according to a well-known "Celebrity", it's one of the 57 US States!

and its in Asia IIRC.

back to 5-0;
I never got into the original when it was on reruns and I watched much more TV, so why would I even bother giving this weak imitator a chance?
 
It's just a TV show. They are actors who are pretending to know what they are doing. Whether shooting guns, riding horses, or having a relationship, it's all make believe.

I know that's stating the obvious, but sometimes I wonder.
 
It's actually a pretty good show, although I think Caan is too short and just generally badly cast. But I've watched, "Revolution" more this season.

Yep, they should all just stare at each other or give simple two or three word statements. Great character development. Not everyone is a Gibbs. Maybe make for an ok movie but a show that has to air weekly? Aint gonna last long.

Cut out the music too. No music in real life when stuff happens
 
One of my pet peeves is watching actors shoot. They almost always blink. It got so that I was wondering if everybody does and I didn't notice it. Even started wondering if I did (?).

Dude,

You are talking classic cool vs a couple of posers, there is no comparison.
