Hawaii 5-0

100th episode will be a really special one. Bringing back both Bill Sadler and James Marsters for cameos. Catch it this Friday night!

Oh, I loved the scene in the hospital room with Danno running roughshod over the terrorists rights. :D

And lovely to see the father/ son scenes with the McGarrett's. Specially the setting sun ones.

FYI, tonight's episode filmed on the Big Island.

"This week’s Hawaii Five-O is the first episode to be filmed on Hawaii Island. In the episode, it’s Christmas, and the team is off to the Big Island to solve a cowboy’s murder.

Five-O was shot at two of the island’s most unique locations, according to the Hawaii Island Film Office. One day was on the slopes of Mauna Loa, at a University of Hawaii site called HI-SEAS, or Hawaii Space Exploration Analog and Simulation.

The location is 8,200 feet above sea level and looks otherworldly. HI-SEAS is funded by NASA to conduct studies in preparation for an extended mission to Mars.

The second day of shooting was at a home in remote Kalapana Gardens. About 120 houses there were wiped out by lava flows in the early 1990s and the area was covered in about 50 feet of lava.

In more recent years, about 40 houses popped up, scattered over the lava. Kalapana Gardens residents were excited to host such a big production in their neighborhood, Big Island Film Commissioner T. Ilihia Gionson said."

The other time they came to the Big Island for an investigation was about the fake King Kamehameha Statue in Kapaau on the north end of the island. However they used b-roll footage of the Puna lava flowing into the ocean by Kalapana on the southeast side of the island. Flying from Oahu to Kona to get to Kapaau would not require going near the Kalapana area. Geography check!

As you probably know Hawaii-5-0 is not being renewed. But at least I will have this to remember

I didn't know it won't be renewed , too bad.  I haven't been watching it since the Asian (Korean ? ) actress left the show. Meanwhile we are reeling from The Magicians not  being  renewed after 5 seasons. three eps left, last one on Apr. 1st. But I will still have this:

The usual fan effort to get Netflik or someone to pick it up, but not likely.
