Yeah, doesn't seem like there's a good way to phrase it so that it's both newsy and spoiler-free, though.
Speaking of which, is this show worth watching? I love me some DDK and Grace Park, though not enough for either to watch a mediocre show. Is it good stuff, or are we all tuning in for the Whedon connections?
I watch this show now and then, not weekly. Certainly you could spend an hour or two checking it out and not feel that you wasted your time. It's a procedural. The location photography is spectacular. Acting is competent, dialogue not bad. Music is nothing special. The writing is mostly a collection of familiar tropes, but occasionally they do something interesting with the local color.
I love it - It's my ONLY "must see" TV this fall. Though I'm not a fan of cop shows or procedurals - I love character driven stories and I LOVE these characters. Steve McGarrett and Danno remind me of Spike & Angel (AtS S5) - and they keep me in stitches. I'd encourage you to check it out.
Sorry. Did not know how to post the news without the obvious spoiler - but there are other spoilers in the report that people might not want to see.
I like the cast of the show - with Scott Caan outacting all the genre-y favorites. It has some great guest appearances every week that are also amusing; but it's not really my kind of show. It's just something to watch when nothing else is on.
I just wish they would decide which of Dano's legs is hurt and quit changing the cane from side to side. I enjoy the show, the scenery is awesome and love when 2 of my favorite vamps are in the show together.lol Not even close to being my favorite show, but I DVR it every week.
This week's surfer ash-scattering ceremony was beautiful.
A propos that, R.I.P. the original Dan-o.
Every time I see Caan I get flashbacks of a movie he did with Jennifer Aniston. He was such a jerk that I need to have the memory professionally erased.
The show's pretty, Caan's good, Alex O'Loughlin either plays "wooden/uptight" to a very high standard or is just wooden, can't decide, some of the chemistry is pretty decent. By and large it's not particularly special though, it's like a million other shows of its ilk and there've been some incredibly clumsy lines. So it'll probably run until Scott Caan actually needs a cane ;).
May watch it when JM comes back but for now i've stopped.
