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 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.I remember that the original was a bit more than a little anti-gun.
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.

it had just a little bit to much violence but that is just my 2 cents
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.

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!

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.

You're probably wrong. A police drama set in Hawaii (important), nubile young women, beautiful scenery .....formula for success.
Remember, the networks are going after the 18-49 age group, which most of us ain't.

I agree.
How many remakes of Dragnet have been tried (and failed) over the years?
Some shows are not broke and should not be fixed and should be left in the times they were created. I'm quite sure Honolulu PD doesn't drive blue and white Fords with a single blue Federal 174 light on the roof anymore!
When Jack Lord died, so did Steve McGarrett.
When Jack Webb died, so did Sgt. Joe Friday.
The list goes on and on.
If it is a "reimagining" of an old show, I avoid it like the plague and don't waste my time. I WASN'T a fan of the new Battlestar Galactica, either.

I'm young enough to fall into this age group and old enough to remember watching the original. This was only the first episode and I thought it was okay, I'll give a few more before I decide.
As for the girl, cute enough but she was so skinny she looks like she is only a few hours away from needing a I.V drip to keep her from malnutrition.

That is the numero uno requirement for ANY woman to appear on TV. Are you new?
My wife asked me to comment on the girls on a recent beauty pageant on TV. I said I would take them all out just so they could get a decent meal.dkees

There are some shows that cannot be re-made.
Barney Miller, Taxi, F Troop, too many to mention.
I never miss a rerun of 5-O, like to watch for future stars.

The sniper and "Saturday Night Special" episodes of the original were VERY anti-gun. Though the guy spelling out "MOM" inside a heart of spent shell casings in the former was a nice touch.
I've been to Hawaii. Lots of women walking around with flesh exposed. Eh. Probably healthier for a kid to see that than someone getting shot.
Anyway, I'll finish watching it online at some point, my DVR failed me for some reason.

The story was OK and managed to hold my attention. However I'm beginning to think that O'laughlin (SP?) is NOT the guy to play McGarrrett. The scene where he hung the bad guy off the side of the building just came off as flat and unconvincing. No intensity to this new guy.
I agree. Too much "do whatever" to be believable. I know this is TV, but I'd like my shows to have at least a little "reality possibility".
