George Takei on HAWAI 5-0.
- Thread starter Greg Cox
- Start date
I haven't seen the episode of the original he was in; I wonder, is he reprising that role like Ed Asner did earlier on the show?
Takei played an old moonshiner that Daniel Day Kim's character called "uncle". They were asking him for information about other moonshiners and was only in one scene.
Haven't watched this yet. Is this show worth investing in?
like the majority of network television shows these days, no
I'll start by saying that I'm a big fan of the original and saw it first run. The first seaon was surprisingly good but it's already run itself off the rails. I was hopeful since the writers Orci and Kurtzman write the current Trek movies. The plots have gotten too ridiculous and the forensic science is so laffable that they might as well be spouting Treknobable.
So not quite CSI: Hawaii (theme song "I Can See For Miles"), then?
Jeez. CSI: Miami used to be my favorite show on tv. It totally ran off the rails, rolled down the hill, bust into flames and disintegrated into tiny pieces. And now it's gone. For example: Ballistic testing and matching on a pair of scissors and duct tape. What? And the transparent monitors were totally stupid.
One bit of Hawaii Five-0 tech that I do like is the big table-top SURFACE computer. I saw an online demo of one of those things and they're really cool. Real and very Treky.
The show hasn't lived up to the great last episode of the first season.
