Episode 02: Hawaii FIVE-0, S2 E17

Did you know “Mahalo,” means “Christopher Walken makes playing a sailor look just as deliciously bonkers as you’d think!”? This episode, we head to the islands, and find out which one of us conflated “Hawaii Five-O” and “Magnum P.I.” until 51 minutes ago.

One of the longest-running procedural crime dramas is being served at this luau with heapings of local characters and iconic, sweeping hair. This episode is one of the weirdest as it takes on issues of race, naval justice, and Christopher Walken at his Walkenest who plays a man out for vengeance against the man who killed the man who married the woman of his dreams. Christopher Walken in a show about someone dying in a love triangle? Weird. Zoë and Richard talk about naval authenticity, Jack Lord lore, and something we like to call a cross ex-HAM-ination.
