Sharon Ferrell passed away. RIP.

I believe she was literally the last surviving original show main cast member still alive...as Al Harrington passed away within this past year or so. However, this was back in May?? They are all gone now.

Still have a long way with the original Five-0 but to be honest, the conclusion felt pretty lackluster but action scenes are really fantastic. I guess the crew giving it all with Jack Lord being diagnosed with Alzheimer's (idk if he's planning to retire before his diagnosis or his diagnosis is the reason for his eventual retirement) and the fact this is the series finale, which I don't blame them for. Still a decent episode overall despite the conclusion being lacking.

Now on to more Five-0.....

Also I might misinterpret it but I get the feeling that Jack and Khigh's smile at the last scene are a subtle way of saying goodbye to not just to viewers but to each other after 12 years. I'm sure they have a professional mutual respect for each other.

However, Season 11 was supposed to be the final season, and everyone was planning on it ending. But, for some reason CBS did renew it for one more season. James MacArthur, however, declined to return & wanted to move on. Once the show was definitely ending, they purposely wanted to do a finale where McGarrett finally captures Wo Fat...as they had phased out that character & feud between them several years before.The last scene though has Wo Fat smiling...with a secret key, letting us know he plans to escape & purposely leaving open the possibility of a reunion TV movie at some point.

Sadly that never came to be. Khigh Dheigh passed away in 1991, and at some point Jack Lord became too ill with Alzheimer’s that he wasn’t able to work or function much anymore.

The koolest kat of all time!! Book 'em, Danno!

They sure don't make 'em like they used to. I'm referring to both cops and pompadours.

Call me Mr. Thicky but why is there a Menehune surfing on McGarret's head? Is it symbolic of something? I am the first to admit that some aspects of art eludes me,
for instance I gaze at the Mona Lisa and see a dreary painting of an even drearier mousy hausfrau.

Pahonu, the art on the walls is often for sale in small inns/hostels. Did the Mrs. buy the painting in question as a present for you, if so is it titled?
I think it would be cool to have that in your living room just as a conversation starter, especially as I suspect it was painted by Ivan.
How did your better half do at the Masters Swim event in San Diego? A medal for her and a painting for you and her San Diego visit can be counted a success all around.

Hey Dobie,

I’m sad to report, I do NOT now possess this masterpiece! I also don’t know a title, other than what is written on the bamboo-like frame: Book ‘Em Danno Justice in Paradise. Works for me.

My interpretation is the artist was deeply inspired by McGarrett’s always well-coiffed pompadour and exaggerated it with a mashup of Hawaiian imagery from the tiki milieu.

Perhaps Ivan will some day cop to his artistic predilections.

Did you that the Mona Lisa wasn’t really very famous until it was stolen in the early 20th century?

My wife made out better than me. She finished third and got a medal in her age group, which is how they group the swimmers. I think there were only about six swimmers in that group. The 50 and over category doesn’t see a huge number of competitors in certain events, particularly the difficult butterfly events and the mile. Coincidentally, as I’m writing this, she’s at swim practice.

Does anyone know what episode are those two photos from? I’m actually pretty curious. Unfortunately Wikimedia and Getty Images didn’t say, nor did the original source where it came from.

Ivan is the one to ask for this one. This isn’t McGarrett’s usual clothing. He seems to be dressed for work at the docks.

The remake series was actually very awesome as well…which is rare for a past popular series! The remake actually remade both “Hookman” & the original series’ pilot “Cocoon”…both show’s versions were/are superb!
