'Hawaii Five-0': Playing 'Chicken' With a Jet (VIDEO)
by Oliver Miller, posted Nov 2nd 2010 9:02AM
When you're playing the game of "chicken," you have to fully commit. Two people are headed together on a collision course -- the first one to flinch loses the game. On the other hand, if no one flinches -- then everyone loses. And on 'Hawaii Five-0' (Mon., 10PM ET on CBS), that could lead to death.[Warning: Spoiler alert.]
On the new episode, Navy SEAL Graham Wilson (Adam Beach) is accused of a crime he didn't commit. Wilson is blamed for the death of his wife -- as a result, he goes berserk. The solider grabs a bunch of hostages. He demands that the cops find the real killer -- or else.
Graham is playing chicken, but so are policemen Danno and McGarrett (Scott Caan and Alex O'Loughlin). As a former SEAL, Steve McGarrett sympathizes with Graham. But his partner Danny "Danno" Williams just thinks the guy is a murderer.

Hanging out in a bar can lead to trouble, and not just a hangover. On 'Hawaii Five-O' (Mon., 10PM ET on CBS), a young woman is murdered and her sister is abducted. Now, Danno and McGarrett (Scott Caan and Alex O'Loughlin) must follow the trail, and track down the missing sister before it is too late.[Warning: Spoiler alert.]
The missing girl is the teenage daughter of a U.S. Ambassador, and the cops' first clue leads them to a trendy nightclub/bar, where the cops discover that a young man has being drugging young women.
Four Ways 'Hawaii Five-0' Can Stand Out From Other Procedurals
by Joel Keller, posted Oct 5th 2010 2:45PM
Why has 'Hawaii Five-0' been a ratings success so far? It's not hard to figure out the formula. It's in a good timeslot that served 'CSI: Miami' well for a number of years. There isn't a heck of a lot of competition (maybe 'Castle,' but that's about it). And having Grace Park in a bikini or otherwise sexy outfit every week doesn't hurt.But after three episodes, the show still has yet to break out from the procedural shell it's in. There have been signs that the show can become more than just a "case of the week" kind of program, but they're minor at best. So far, the show's been carried by some good action, good chemistry between Alex O'Loughlin and Scott Caan, and the aforementioned Park-in-bikini scenes (can't mention those enough).
Based on those signs, and the legacy of the original series, there are a few ways Roberto Orici, Alex Kurtzman, and their writers can take this show in a direction that makes it stand out from other procedurals.
Scott Caan Injured on Set of 'Hawaii Five-0'

Danno will still be booking 'em -- just maybe with a slight limp. 'Hawaii Five-0' star Scott Caan injured his knee while filming a stunt for the show. But while this type of injury might typically sideline a sports star for months, it won't get in the way of the show's production.According to the New York Post, Caan suffered "what is believed to be a torn ACL" last week. The new CBS series rearranged the shooting schedule so the 33-year-old actor could undergo surgery for his injury.
According to THR, Caan could be back to set as soon as this week, and his torn ACL will be written into the show.
"Yes, his injury will be noted in the story line," said a CBS spokesperson.
Eric and Scott Break (Dinosaur) Bones Over Vince on 'Entourage' (VIDEO)
by Aimee Deeken, posted Jul 19th 2010 8:30AM
A new shade of celebrity is overtaking Vince: He's doing stunts, skydiving, buying a Harley and winning an auction for some dinosaur bones of his very own. A lot of the blame falls on Scott, who is fast becoming part of Vince's 'Entourage' (Sun., 10:30PM ET on HBO), much to Eric's dismay.At a party, the two start arguing over him. "Don't be territorial with me, huh? We both rep him," says Scott.
"No, Scott, we don't," says Eric.
Scott pushes him; Eric shoves him against a wall, straight into the precious dinosaur skull. Hearing the crash, a naked Vince (but for a strategically placed hat) rushes into the room, flanked by two scantily clad women. Drama has the punch line.
Scott Caan Will Be Danno in New 'Hawaii Five-O'
by Allison Waldman, posted Mar 5th 2010 2:03PM
The 'Hawaii Five-O' pilot just got a bit more interesting. Tough guy actor Scott Caan has been cast as Danno, joining Alex O'Loughlin as Steve McGarrett. What makes it interesting is that in the original series, McGarrett was the older member of the squad, the leader based on experience if not seniority. Danny Williams was a younger guy, with McGarrett as sort of his mentor. O'Loughlin and Caan are the same age. That would mean that they'll be more like partners. Like Sam and Callen on 'NCIS: Los Angeles,' which is reminiscent of 'Starsky and Hutch.'
Well, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not exactly the original, is it? It's a new version of 'Hawaii Five-O' and, apparently, that's the point. Like the updated 'Star Trek' movie, which coincidentally, was written by the same guys, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, who are doing the pilot.
So while this show will focus on an elite branch of the Hawaii State Police with McGarrett and Danno, it's not the same old CBS franchise.
Scott Caan Joins 'Hawaii Five-O' Reboot as Danno
by Andrew Scott, posted Mar 5th 2010 11:12AM
Actor Scott Caan has booked the coveted role of Danny "Danno" Williams on the CBS reboot of 'Hawaii Five-O,' according to the Hollywood Reporter.In the updated version, Williams heads to Hawaii to be closer to his 7-year-old daughter following a nasty divorce from his wife. There, he partners with Steve McGarrett, played by star Alex O'Loughlin.
The role was originated by James McCarthur in 1968.
Due to his commitment to 'Entourage,' Caan will only appear as a guest star in the pilot, but will become a series regular should the show get picked up by CBS.
