(Hippies are evil, but he owns a sniper rifle, so we’ll allow it.) Also, Steve and Chin Ho rode dirt bikes, Pearl Harbor was referenced, and the episode began with that truly rare type of murder where every single witness is wearing a bikini (see picture above.) The victim was shot on a surfboard, and Chin Ho made a special point of noting that he fell “Back…and to the left.” A double reference to JFK and Seinfeld? 90′sgasm! Also, when Steve and Danno interrogated a couple of suspects, there was a rainbow shining over the city behind them. A FRICKING RAINBOW.
Alas, Five-0 players went home empty-handed last night, just one car crash (or O’Loughlin chest sighting) away from a Bingo. Check out the board after the jump.

A “Back in Jersey” also would have sealed the win…dammit. So close…
I don’t watch this show, but the Bingo thing is hilarious.
FIRST!
And loves Hawaii Five-0!!!!
Darn. LOL.
Dang, if McGarrett had just participated in the memorial service for Ian, we would have had a bingo.
Hey – McGarrett is shirtless in the opening credits – can we count that like a guaranteed free space?
That’s a good question. I’m pretty sure that the entire board would be filled by the credits sequence alone, though!
Hey wait a minute. The marauders and his help were also part of a gang so couldn’t that be covered and didn’t we see Alex Loughlin run. I think we got a Five-O Bingo
Too funny! Good call, Darren. As soon as I saw Kevin Sorbo, I knew “the Hercules did it.”
ya, like all cop shows, this one suffers from guest-star-did-it-itis
I loved the part where they were talking about the ‘Protectors of the Island’… and cut to Jin!
Couldn’t help but notice that too.
What’s the point of Hawaii Five-0 if Alex O’Loughlin doesn’t take his shirt off? I’m bummed on two counts – no Alex lust, and no bingo.
I liked that kid’s cute cover of “Hey Soul Sister”.
Last night’s episode, with Kevin Sorbo as guest star, was another great and entertaining episode. We found out more about Kono’s background! It was awesome!
Alex did take his shirt off–in the coming attractions for next week.
I count the beginning montage as a shirtless moment too. It might be stretching the rules but it helps me fill in my Hawaii Bing-0 card.
I saw that. Naturally, I’m DVRing next week’s episode.
so glad the bingo continues! Love Hawaii Five-O!
They have got to get better writers on this show, or they will start losing their audience. I won’t keep tuning in every week just in the hopes that Alex O’Loughlin will take his shirt off. The stories have been completely lame since the premier, and I’m fast losing interest. Scott Caan is the only reason to watch right now, and he can’t carry it forever.
same here. and grace park’s character needs to be gone, just gone.
The rainbows happen all the time there. I was there for a month for training while in the Air Force and there was an afternoon misting of rain while the sun was out often creating a rainbow.
Yeah, there’s been rainbows in other episodes, sometimes only for a second, but they are there.
Yeah but this was a…DOUBLE RAINBOW FULL ON ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!!!! TOO MUCH!
Add the rainbow to the bingo card!!
Maybe the rainbows were Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse’s ideas – you know…the last shot of Lost? Maybe they are still trying to redeem themselves from a failed finale.
OMG, get over Lost already!! The show is over, move on!!
