Hawaii Five-O - Part 2

Looks like composer Michael Giacchino responded to Lenkov's statement on Twitter.

Replying to @PLenkov
- just make @danieldaekim an equally paid cast member. It's pretty simple. Seems incredibly backwards that you haven't already.

 

[Dark Raven]

Whos gonna lead the show after Alex leaves ? Scott is barely there as is to be a leading man (which he is not) & Grace & Daniel did so much more than Scott ever did & Scott does not deserve equal pay as Alex as at least Alex earns that pay check while Scott does not

It will be Jorge Garcia as the lead 5-0 agent.

 

[Why]

It will be Jorge Garcia as the lead 5-0 agent.

Hawaii Five 0 turns into The X Files ? t: when Hurley should be solving crime he instead uses the Five 0 resources for investigating weird ****

They had their traditional Hawaiian blessing ceremony yesterday to kick off the start of filming but instead of it being open to the public and media with a Q&A session afterward, they made it only for the cast and crew. Another departure is that the first day of filming was done completely on the studio sets versus out in public like they've done in past seasons. Some are speculating this was done for a couple reasons: they didn't want to have to answer questions about the departures and they're trying to keep it a secret as to who've they hired as the new cast member(s).

Looks like H50 was out filming at a pool in Honolulu, talking to a female lifeguard after a chase scene. Many people think this is Tani, the new female team member that they were casting. They've identified the actress as Meaghan Rath, best known for her role on SyFy's Being Human. Others said she had posted an Instagram photo of her in Hawaii a couple days ago that has since been deleted, adding even more fuel to the rumors.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well she's not exactly Asian in the same way as Kono or Chin-Ho. Her mother is from Goa, but that's the wrong kind of Asian for this show.

For all the issues the original H50 had about casting Asians/Native Hawaiians in purely supporting roles, at least they had some in the cast. Considering that Indians are one of the smallest Asian groups (less than 1%) in Hawaii, I'd say this still doesn't change the narrative that the show's producers are tone-deaf about casting likely Hawaiian inhabitants. It's looking like next year's cast will be two white men, a black man, a Hispanic man, and an Indian woman. Are there just no Asian-American or Native Hawaiian actors/actresses for them to hire?

 

[Dark Raven]

If they didn't kill off Kelly Hu she could've been part of the cast. She's Hawaiian.

Of course, in the original series they had actors playing more than one role several seasons later. Kelly was in season 1. But I still remember her.

hmm yeah well alot of people cant' get away way with that any moire cause they are noticeable with in popular series and not a low budget show. a few used to do that and don't do that any more while other that did that have ended and I think were called out for that part. yeah you can't get aways with that in this day and age.

they should have killed her character(I remember saying that the day she died on that show) but they made the chose they made. and be side was looking as she was a love interest fro Daniel dae Kim's character.... if she has been a round til this point and say she was married to him, she might still left, if attached to him .


So you never know. it would have been interesting if she lived.

Hawaii Five-0 Gives Kono's Husband a Promotion, Adds Two in Cast Shake-Up

Hawaii Five-0 in one fell swoop has effectively reconstituted its recently-depleted team of crimefighters.

Less than three weeks after the news broke that original cast members Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park (who played Chin Ho and Kono) were exiting ahead of Season 8, the CBS procedural has promoted longtime recurring player Ian Anthony Dale (aka Kono’s husband Adam) to series regular, while also adding to its ranks Meaghan Rath (Being Human) and relative newcomer Beulah Koale.

A trusted confidant and resource for the team, Adam Noshimuri will be recruited by McGarrett to officially work for Five-0, while Rath has been cast as Tani Rey, a hotel lifeguard who was kicked out of the Police Academy, despite being a first-rate candidate. (Word of the actress’ casting leaked last week as lookie-loos snapped photos of her filming scenes with Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan at a hotel pool.)

Koale will play Junior Reigns, a former Navy SEAL who has just returned from serving his country and asks McGarrett for a job.

Currently starring on CBS’ summer series Salvation, Dale’s previous TV credits include Murder in the First, The Event and Day Break, while Rath’s resume includes DirecTV’s Rogue and Kingdom, Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life, Banshee and Secrets and Lies. Koale has had roles on the New Zealand series Common Ground and The Cul de Sac.

Hawaii Five-0 kicks off Season 8 on Friday, Sept. 29 at 8/7c.

Not sure I like them keeping Adam around without Kono. It'll be interesting to see how the other newbies fit in with the team.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Ugh, no need to keep Adam around without Kono and is there only one woman allowed in this show? They should have added another woman to the team given there's already 4 guys on it and they are now adding 2 more with only one woman.

This. What's the point of having Adam as a character? He's going to be the token Asian? And this Hawaiian sausage fest is the wurst.

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Adam as an official Five-0 member? That's a bit odd. Isn't he a former crime lord/convicted criminal? Could he even ever be recruited for a position like that now, legally?

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Only found this while looking on Twitter, but it looks like to address the issue of having them not having any native Hawaiians on the regular cast, they've promoted Dennis Chun (Duke), Taylor Wily (Kamekona), and Kimee Balmilero (ME Dr. Noelani Cunha) to series regular roles. Talk about throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks, especially now that it's coming at much cheaper rates than what Kim and Park were commanding. This doesn't help the perception that CBS are a bunch of cheapskates when it comes to everyone outside the stars of the show.

Hawaii actors Chun, Wily, Balmilero join main ‘Five-0’ cast

 

[Teelie]

CBS has really dropped the ball. Making them series regulars is almost an insult at this point to everyone who pointed out how badly they messed up the first time.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well I suppose Duke as series regular isn't without precedent. He was a series regular in the original version too. But he became part of the 5-0 task force. I don't know if he's going to do that here too or just remain with the HPD.

How will they explain Adam being separated from Kono? Is she just off on her own mission like Catherine, or will they actually be separated? Won't it seem strange that she could do this to him just for the sake of these girls? At what point will it not seem ridiculous (which it already seems it would from the start)?

It was unspecified whether he had served time in other prisons as well. It was in prison that he got his nickname, "Prophet", though it is unknown as to how or why he got it. Not much else has been revealed about him, except that he intended to make amends for past sins, using his street-smart edge and Zen-like ways.
Jonathan "Prophet" Simms is an agent of the BAU's fictional Red Cell team, the protagonists of the spin-off Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior.

Pazu is the backup "jack-of-all" for the field agents and is also a known chain smoker within the unit. Upon his first encounter with the Major, he remarked, "I never sleep with the same woman twice." He uses a folding knife in combat.

those are two examples there 's far more on other shows and movies and animated series.


It will depend on how they are gonna use Adam here. Is Adam going to used keep an eye on the other mob boss's in Hawaii ? or will he be running around out in the open with them? it make far more sense if he were used to keep an eye on the underworld. but the Five isn't like what the feds or certain agency's like section 9. or what Red Reddington is being used for in the black list to a certain degree which he agreed to do to protect Liz . But it make more sense in Adam's case.

Duke would have to do something to get kicked off the HPD. Remember how Grover started? He started off as a "follow the rules, straight laced by the book" leader of HPD SWAT who would clash with Steve over methods. Then his daughter got kidnapped and it forced him to do things he normally would not do and it led to him joining 5-0 after he was forced to resign.

I dunno. I just looked up the entry on Wikipedia for the original Hawaii Five-O and under Duke Lukela, it says "HPD police sergeant promoted to Five-O". I suppose he could be promoted to their task force, although I don't know if it would work like that here.

 

[Webfoot Hero]

I don't really think this version of Duke has really done anything but act as the only recognizable face of the HPD the team deals with on a regular basis. Over the years, the show made a mistake by not having more local law enforcement officer characters so it doesn't feel like the HPD is only Duke and a bunch of nameless, speechless officers in the background. Had they introduced more recurring, speaking LEO characters, they would have had the possibility of promoting them to the main cast as replacements without having to go with a bunch of newbies that are now going to take up more than a few episodes getting up to speed.

 

[Dark Raven]

They could've killed off Chin Ho like in the original series, and had a big plot about it at the start of the season with the team investigating his murder. Of course, Kono would've wanted to be in on that, but she could've just guest starred and then could exit the series, needing to take time off. But then they would also have to write off Adam, which wouldn't have been a bad thing at all. I don't see why he has to stay on if she goes.

Plus Duke is like the only HPD officer who hangs out with the 5-0 when off duty.

I always found that odd since McGarrett, Chin-Ho, Danny, and the others would have likely dealt with and become friends with other HPD officers, considering how often they worked together. But I guess with all their problems with HPD's internal affairs department (especially Chin-Ho and Grover), I guess they prefer staying at arm's length from them, save for Duke, who was a friend of McGarrett's dad.

Wasn't one of the Internal affairs officers played by Robert "I will always be a bad guy" Knepper?

Yep and he was subsequently stabbed in the eye and killed by Chin-Ho's ex brother-in-law when Knepper's IA guy thought he was going to get some dirt on H50.
