In this reposted ”Hawaii In Vermont” Episode #5 we reviewed the Hawaii Five-0′ broadcast of Ne Me’e Laua Na Paio, (“Heroes and Villains” in Hawaiian.) It was originally shown on Mar 21st, 2011.
We talk about the newest addition to the Five-0 Team, Agent Jenna Kaye, who we are both a bit skeptical about, though I was willing to give actress, Larisa Oleynik another try in future episodes. Eli felt her resemblance to MSNBC pundit and Rhodes Scholar, Rachel Maddow, is a little too uncanny for his taste.
He is also little more critical than usual of the superhero crime plot and comments that perhaps the writers might have been trolling the jumptheshark.com website for cliched storylines. We both enjoyed Johnny D, played by James Ransone from “The Wire” and ponder Kono’s impressive texting skills when she partnered with Danny at ‘Femme Nu.’
We also had to agree to disagree about the Wo Fat scene which I thought was well played and tense, but Eli outlined why he wasn’t so impressed.
