Can You Hear the Kids of Hawaii Squealing?

Hawaii Five-O is Fun!

, , ,

So what’d you think of the remade, rebooted, remixed Hawaii Five-O? Is it still a classic? Only time will tell, but the premiere episode definitely was fun!

Some thoughts and wonderings.

Hawaii is well armed and seedy

I never knew how serious and epidemic the criminal element was in Hawaii. Even Governor Lingle stand-in was fed up and wanted the criminal SOBs off her island. I mean where ever you went the public was armed and ready for a shootout. And what timing for Aloun farms and the forced labor workforce to coincide with the H5O subplot of human exporting. Who watching thought about the pumpkin patch when the cargo load of imported Asians was discovered?

The Scenes of Hawaii

I thought Five-O did an excellent job portraying the visual beauty of the islands. Every lead-in was a scenic sight to see. Even tents on beach got airtime. But I wonder why locations like Kukui High School had to be made up? Why not use real location names?

You speak bird?

Say what? Okay, so I’m a fake Hawaiian akin to imitation crab, but I’ve never heard “bird” in pidgin. I need to update my Hawaiian slang list with all the gems spoken by the Five-O cast.

So yeah, even with its imperfections, Hawaii Five-O is still fun, and I’ll be sticking around for more episodes.

If you missed the premiere episode, you can now view it online at CBS, and here’s the trailer along with the iconic theme song.

Time for a Tivo Flight Check

, , , , , ,

Gotta do a flight check on my Tivo with a bunch of shows taking off this week.

Let’s see, the conclusion of Season 1 of The Gates should have recorded on Sunday. It ain’t a bad show, kinda a poor man’s Underworld but in a modern context where you’re the unusual one if you’re not a mythical creature.

For Monday, Hawaii Five-O premieres (in HD!!) along with Season 11 of Dancing with the Stars (also in HD!!).

Hawaii Five-O Cast

Tuesday showcases Glee and even more DWTS.

On Wednesday, the behind-the-scenes Top Chef episode is followed by Top Chef: Just Desserts.

Hawaii’s Andy South and Ivy Higa continue their Project Runway journey on Thursday, and Mililani’s Maggie Q takes on the Division on Nikita. Grey’s Anatomy kicks off after a monstrous season finale.

Then it’s Friday and the weekend when I can watch all these hours of great television. Tivo, don’t fail me now!

Breakfast with Weezer via a Social Graph

, , ,

How would entering and winning a contest to have breakfast with alt rock band Weezer look like via a social graph? Let’s take a peek at JessicaShig’s recent adventure!

First the contest announcement and chatter on Twitter (in chronological order).

Then to Facebook after being picked as a winner.

And of course, the obligatory fangirl flirtatious tweet! Seriously, saying “love, love,” “unspoken,” and “where’s my sex” is asking for a secret rendezvous! 😉

Congrats to JessicaShig for cashing in on social media to meet Weezer and letting her fans follow along this adventure. And for the music lovers, be sure to check out Jessica’s suggestions of Unspoken, Where’s My Sex, and Hang On.

Who Says AOL is Irrelevant?

, , , ,

Remember that spike in Pulpconnection visits and views checking out the buttery sweetness of Starbuck’s new Toffee Mocha? Can you believe the cause of this was AOL? Yes, that oldie but goodie AOL. The one who was sending you countless CDs in the mail just a few years ago.

Even now, if you go to search.aol.com and look for “starbucks toffee mocha,” you’ll see something like this (well, except for the Yay!).
