Season 1 Episode 2: From The Head Down (1.2)

[KENJI]

Has anyone heard of the title for the second episode or any details regarding the storyline?
I know there was talk of a TM vs. TC youth football game, but that could be for another episode.
Lenkov usually leaks something.

[KENJI]

Just heard the title for this episode is From the Head Down .
No idea on the story behind it though.
I guess we will know soon enough.

Thanks Karolis.
The trailer doesn't really reveal much about the storyline, just a few car scenes, Jay being shot at, then having a meal with someone.....maybe they are still scrambling to finish it.

Thanks RG!
Interesting to see Apollo Creed (aka Carl Weathers) making a guest appearance. I'm guessing there will be a fight scene in this episode where Dan/Apollo knocks someone out.

This listing is strange:

RECURRING CAST:
Domenick Lombardozzi (Sebastian Nuzo)

So Nuzo is alive?

It could just be a flashback in time that Jay/Thomas is remembering or a dream sequence, so they brought him back to film these scenes.
He looked pretty dead to me....I still found it funny that Jay/Thomas shot at the ambulance knowing his buddy was in there. Why not go for the tires first.....heck he could've killed Nuzo himself.

Back when the series got picked up Domenick made a comment to Lenkov on social media, "Can't wait to see everyone back on Oahu" or something like that, and I remember thinking the same thing, that he would be in a flashback scene or the like.

Here's a 3+ minute "sneak peek" from SpoilerTV...

...and I see they still have TC's chopper pooping out the Islands. I thought they might've noticed that & changed it.

[KENJI]

Thanks for the sneak peek RG!
The first thing that came to mind when I saw the first quick peek of the I.H. van and T.C. pulling up was the A-Team van. T.C. also has Mr. T/ B.A's frown down! Joking aside, the van is definitely more off road/heavy duty/tougher looking than the original which I do like! I think it was Steve that stated that Rick could be the best character on the show and he might be right.....time will tell. Nice little fight sequence there too, actually l liked the Higgin's fight scene in the first episode too. There is no way Jonathon could've pulled that off even with his martial arts background.

The comment about Hillerman's Higgins...

Physically, there was nothing athletic about Hillerman's performance in the original series. It was painfully obvious that he had physical limitations that kept them from portraying him in physically demanding situations during the show's run, and I think that it is likely something that shaped the way the show was written. JH was not an athletic guy, and attempting to portray someone who once had skills and gifts often led to less than stellar results. Good stories did not need to be undermined by the inability to create the supporting illusion.

Perdita Weeks and the stunt team did far better than anything the original did with JH. JH had many qualities that could be world class, but that area was outside his strengths.
