Ohana means "family," right? Amazing what you learn from Lilo & Stitch. Anyway, onwards to episode 2! The opening montage features surfing, bikinis, hula dancers, palm trees. . . just in case you forgot where all this is taking place. Between you and me, I think the title might've given it away.

101: Pilot
Note: Dialogue in "quotes" are real. Anything else is made-up.
Okay, a couple of weeks before the Hawaii Five-O (2010) pilot aired, I'd watched the original Hawaii Five-O (1968) pilot, so interspersed along this play-by-play will be a bunch of comparisons between the old pilot and the new pilot. The obvious main difference is that the original pilot was movie-length, so it could take its time. It could build up a sinister feel (especially if you watched it late at night, like I did). It could detour into making random commentaries about hippies (more on that later). It could make you really wish you could do something with Jack Lord's hair. That's all well and good, but really, I think the remake version's pilot sets the tone pretty well for the rest of the season: we're going to have us some good old -fashioned fun, kids!
