HIGGY BABY!
The Estate!
HIGGY BABY at The Estate.
Pretty good episode.
Some twists and turns.
Funny slicing and dicing the scenes to make the estate seem out in a cane field.
MartinHafer is right. Little dumb dropping the body out of a plane to blow the whole gig.

What are the chances that one of the two episodes in which Hillerman guest-starred would actually be filmed at Robin's Nest??? Where Hillerman's character actually lives!! 
He does a very good job in this role, with his condescending manner (more mean-spirited than Higgy) towards his poor secretary. Overall it's an okay episode. Nothing special though. Typical season 10 episode.
If you didn't know about Chin's fate ahead of time then this is indeed a shocker for ya!!T.Q. wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 2:26 pm A Death in the Family
And this is why I asked that poster to please not post all the episode info days before I watched for first time for fear of spoilers.
SHOCKED! Shocked I tells ya.
Not Chin... Nooooo!
I knew he eventually left the show but not like this.
Good episode overall.
Killed in grand style as was the response by Five-0.
Manu Tupou was very good. He should have been a bigger actor.
McGarrett should have blown the baddie away in the last scene. We'd have to wait 4 or 5 more years (?) for something so bold in primetime TV.
RIP Chin Ho Kelley

Poor Chin. 
I feel like Mr. Mike is pretty hard on this one but I think it's pretty good, especially for a season 11 episode. He says the title is very appropriate because it's sleep-inducing but there are other episodes that are MUCH more sleep-inducing than this one. I really like the "Manchurian Candidate" storyline here, with Sonya Hanson being the killer while being totally unaware of this. The ring of the telephone being her trigger and McG cluing in on this was cool! Nice reveal at the end as to who her control was. Of course there's the obligatory scene where she chases down the poor guy in her Mercedes in the parking garage and all he has to do is duck to the side but instead he presses against the wall in horror as he awaits his death.T.Q. wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 1:53 pm The Sleeper
A so-so episode to start Season 11.
Some interesting things if you choose not to dissect the heck out of it.
We saw the hypnosis thing a while back already.
Kept me semi-interested. Wasn't great. Was okay.
I like Hotlip's Dad from MASH (Andrew Duggan).
Ornery old actor.

Don't care for this one. Not into astrology and the Samantha Eggar character is too annoying and flaky. Her "lazy eye" look is a bit distracting too.T.Q. wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 3:14 pm Horoscope for Murder
Weird but alright I guess. I'm not too into astrology stories.
Was interesting though.
Mars to yer-anus.
Samantha Eggar plays a character very similar to Magnum P.I. Fragments. Creepy psychic type. Must have been type-casted from this episode.
The whodunit culminating into Mel being the one offing people with bad 'signs' (star alignment or whatever it was called) was unique.

There's a sort-of follow-up to this episode in season 12 (even worse!) with another flaky astrologer lady (a friend of Eggar's) who annoys McG again. I guess you had to know that Tab Hunter would be revealed as the murderer since there was no other reason for him to be in this episode.Glad you approve.
Thanks, T.Q. My family is okay (so far) but right now all of Ukraine is family. To see what's happening in the central and eastern parts (especially Mariupol) is absolutely heartbreaking.T.Q. wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 9:04 pmGlad you approve.
Hope you and your family are doing okay.
I try to stay busy with other things to get my mind off what's going on but it's difficult because that's the reality you just can't escape from. Things like this shouldn't be happening in the year 2022. I look at my little boy and think about all those children whose lives have been so tragically cut short and can't help but well up with tears. What did they do to deserve any of this?
