I have a three bed house each bedroom having a split AC unit. There’s also one in the living room. The brand is Mitsubishi and it’s not plugged into the window/doesnt connect outside. One roommate uses AC and the other two don’t and we’re having a hard time splitting the HECO bill evenly. How much do we charge her extra for running it? She doesn’t run it all day and night but probably a few hours a day. And estimate could be 90 hours a month.
i have some music related ones lol
-steve has a 90s/2000s rock playlist
-grace has played kpop on car rides with steve and danno and they lowkey enjoy it
-if steve ever heard “daddy issues” by The Neighborhood on the radio, he’d switch the station halfway through
Hello, everyone. Earlier this year, I noticed this subreddit had been banned for being unmoderated, to my dismay as I have fond memories of browsing over the years. I requested moderator permission and have just received it, which has reactivated the subreddit. You may now submit new posts and access old content again. Mahalo!
May have had a love hate relationship feelings at times for Steve, but really he deserved happiness. To me, when he was about to propose to Catherine and she left him without explanation and going to the CIA.
Makes you wonder if Doris had to be involved. Over in having to pull some strings to get Catherine in the CIA so that the agency wouldn't go after Steve and Five 0. After Steve was warned to be thrown in the brig with Catherine's last episode in season 4 before the season finale. Among many things that he and Five 0 would be facing like being harassed or targeted by the CIA.
Catherine had no choice and that the agency forced her hand. But also that Doris also had to be part of the plan for the agency not to go after her son most of all, on a personal basis but also made sure like Catherine, that the agency was hands off Five 0.
Both Catherine and Doris used Steve for their personal and professional gains. Steve felt betrayed but out of the the goodness of his heart, couldn't say no. Due to Doris being his mom like when Catherine crashed his and Lynn's date. When Doris was kidnapped and faced execution by rescuing one of the prisoners the CIA wanted to help. Catherine used Steve's feelings and moral compass to get him to rescue Doris. Reluctantly he agreed but really both she and Doris used him over and over again.
Both women should be thankful that Steve did that out of the goodness of his heart. But really they seem to never be grateful and act like it was just business, nothing personal. Not getting the picture that Steve could had lost his life or that when the rest of Five 0 minus Danny in that 150th episode, came to Steve's aid despite Steve wanting them not to know where he and Catherine were going.
In the end where Doris hugged Steve afterwards. But it seems she didn't act grateful for rescuing her and the prisoner she was trying to get before being captured and Steve being forced to rescue her despite breaking his heart over and over again. Catherine did seem a big grateful and glad she answered Steve and told about Lynn's slip over in the engagement. But the answering yes if she accepted him when he did it before she had to flee for her new "job" more like forced job. It seems like she didn't mean it and Steve seemed to only hear what he wanted to hear in her point of view.
Catherine was forced into the agency knowing if she tried to refuse, they would go after Steve and Five 0. But mostly Steve it seems. Kind of felt bad for Catherine as she had little to no choice. But then again, kind of did not.
She and Doris liked to be in control and Steve got that from his mother of course. That is in a post I put up a very long time ago over a year ago. That yes it is his job as the boss. But to go on into Steve's house when he thought she was "dead" and making breakfast when she was in Steve's house, waking up him and Catherine. It is like Steve driving cars without asking. Both love to be in control and don't like having to be pushed back in playing second fiddle. They always have to be in control though they mean well, still it would had been nice if they were polite and asked.
Steve has had hard feelings for Doris and felt used by her and Catherine. Plus it seems Doris like Steve's father John and Steve himself did not like he mentioned in season 5 to Danny in the stakeout, the Garret family not just men, but it seems Doris did not grow up with lots of emotion and lots of love. Though they love each other. As showing signs of like sadness is weakness.
Catherine kind of came off like a mini Doris. That she loved being in control. And like Steve didn't like taking no for an answer. And that she was becoming a bit like Doris. Asking for favors and doing rough things that would possibly cost him and his team and Ohana their lives. Came off a bit controlling and used emotions in a sense to "blackmail" Steve into rescuing Doris.
Still Catherine was the lesser of the two evils in a way as she was coming off a bit like Doris. Controlling and trying to use Steve's conscience and moral compass to help them out. Sorry rant over.

Magnum PI ?? (Haven't seen yet)
Now, I’m not talking about the entire first season, as there are multiple different “arcs” if you will? of that season due to the amount of writing changes.
Now, I am talking about the first five episodes of Hawaii Five-0. Now it doesn’t really focus much on the action, but it focuses more on the characters. It seems to be slower and more thought out, focusing on the investigation.
There’s something about the characters that we just don’t really see in future ones - Danno and McGarrett rubbing off on each other without arguing, Kono working her MacBook computer, these are just some things that made the first four episodes special. Other episodes in the future tried to replicate this, but it just didn’t feel the same.
There’s also the element of the camera angles, which are slower and more steady. Yet at the same time, the established shots of Hawaii are “techno-like” and paint a fast picture of Hawaii.
Now this is the Five-0 I kind of wish we had. As someone who has watched the entire series twice, these episodes are unique and just, different. While there might be other episodes sprinkled in the series which may be good, I don’t think many (if any) come close to these.
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
so watching this ep and funny enough a familiar face appears someone thats in MacGyver and ironically the show mentions magnum p.i when there are ppl on the island that basically have the same names and jobs
just weird since its a shared universe

I’m looking for an episode that has a shot of the Pacific Tracker ship in one of the transitions.
Episode where they find a body inside a wall at the beginning then find the partners body in the opposite wall
At the end of 2x01, one of Wo Fat’s associates was taken into custody by Five-0. He was then released in order to “chum the waters” in search of Wo Fat. Despite this, he or this part of the storyline was never mentioned again. Any ideas on what happened?
This is the episode where Kono goes on a solo sailing trip and gets caught in a massive storm. Just before she sets sail, her parents show up. It’s very obvious that the woman who plays her mom is not actually a realistic age for being able to be Kono’s mom. They clearly used some sort of spray paint to make her hair appear gray.
This has always bugged me so I decided to look it up. Grace Park, who played Kono, was around 41 at that point of filming. The actress who played her mother, Catherine Haena Kim, was around 31 at the time of filming.
This is so silly to me! Why wouldn’t they just cast an older actress?
Examples:
3x22: Had great storyline, included unique concepts (the tattoo shop, different motels, Chin getting shot), but was overlooked because the reality TV concept was boring
8x01: Had the best pacing, story, and action of the newer H50 season premieres, but was overlooked because of the helicopter scene at the end
In Hawaii Five-0, often times there’ll be situations like bombs or dangerous suspects where HPD (supposedly) block off the perimeter to prevent this from happening.
However, this isn’t always the case. For instance in 5x05, the team is heading after a dangerous hit man at a theater. Kono specifically says that the roads are locked down, yet cars still drive by the theater and you can see the roads aren’t blocked off in the background.
Thoughts?
So ive watched this show since the beginning, and Ive also rewatched it many times and enjoyed reruns on TV more so then any other "slightly" cheesy police procedural drama and I think I really figured out why it is.
At this point in my life Ive found it very difficult to make new friends. I have a few from growing up and throughout high school when I moved and we all live in different places now but one thing I really do think is a reason im so drawn to H50 is the friendship each character finds within the group.
So, I just finished both H50 series and while the newer one was more entertaining i think the original show was much better. It took me about a year to complete both. I cant really explain it yet why i liked the first one better. What do you think? Which series did you like better?
...love McGarrett and Danny and they are a great couple. They bicker and clearly love each other but can't quite say it so they hide behind their sarcastic commentary but it is clear they would never leave each other and have each other's back. Danny does a great job balancing his home life with work, and this lets McGarrett go full throttle at work because he knows Danny is there supporting him through the hard times. I kinda wish they didn't write Danny like a 50s housewife that can have it all, but maybe he's a second wave feminist icon. Has the job, the Homelife, and the respect of his (work) husband. McGarrett is clearly a hunk but we all know that.
I just realized when steve was in the ambulance because victor stabbed him in prison while steve was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital their was only one cop inside the ambulance and not even one cop car behind them lol didn’t he just go to prison for the murder of the governor? Their would at least be 10 police cars with him or whatever…. Not realistic at all it pissed me off
Not sure if it's just me, but I honestly had an issue with Episode 6 Season 8, the stress management one? I mean, they gang up on Steve about stress and fixing himself but as soon as she turns it around on them, nothing is an issue? Idk if it's just that I hate being followed or personally I feel it's invasive but I was stressed myself during the episode to the point I kept browsing my phone.
If you think someone else comments down below 👇🏾
Ive been rewatching the series and I haven’t seen too many people agree but I think amber(melissa) and danny were a way better couple than rachel and danny ever were. Yeah, she was a bit younger but I thought they had decent chemistry and she got along nicely with Grace. I understand danny was still in love with rachel, but I felt she literally treated him like shit every step of the way. Dragging his daughter to Hawaii, suddenly going back to her husband after telling him she would leave, hiding charlie until she needed him to know. ugh, just everything about her has left a bad taste in my mouth.
What do y’all think? Who was the best partner for danny, or is he better alone?
All I can remember is that the episode started with someone lifting jewelry/other items from the airport. It was like a montage sequence of someone (maybe two people?) just very casually taking stuff from random passersby at the airport like a choreographed dance... Please help me find the episode? It's from the Hawaii Five-0 (2010) series
