Reminder of the fundraising campaign for the ALS Association supported by Alex & H50
The ALS Association is one of several charities supported by Alex. He will participate in the "Walk to defeat ALS" on Sept. 6 with other team members from H50. With their participation they want to increase awareness of the terrible, fatal disease ALS and want to raise funds for the research against ALS and to provide financial help to people affected by ALS.
This is the fundraising page of the "H50 ALS Warriors" team:
http://web.alsa.org/goto/H50ALSWarriors

New blog by the Five-0 Undercover fansite about the a.m. fundraising campaign for the ALS Association
Find out more about the campaign and Alex's personal involvement

For more information on charities supported by Alex, please go to his official Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Alex-OLoughlin/143307649024403

There's also a page here on my fansite about the charities and projects that Alex has been supporting.
Please go to www.alex-the-best.de/aolhim2.htm

The lucky Lenkovs met with Carol Burnett and Peter has posted this great photo
I don't usually share family photos on my fansite but since this one was posted publicly on Peter's Webstagram page to show how much his family loves Carol, it should be o.k. to share this one. After all, the fans love Carol, too! For those who still don't know - Carol plays Steve's lovely Aunt Deb on H50.

Final result of the fundraising campaign for Alex's birthday organized by Taylor's Gift with the support of Alex
The final sum raised was $4,000 and the personal note and gift from Alex goes to a fan named Sandy who raised the most funds - it was a pretty close competition though because until just a few hours ago fan Martha had been in the lead.
Here's the closed fundraising page - ended Aug. 31!

SEPTEMBER 2, 2014:

I love this video shared by Taylor's Gift - A little boy with a very important message!
Please share this video to encourage people to become organ donors!

U.S. fans can register as organ donors on the page of Taylor's Gift - a great foundation for which Alex is a spokesperson, in case you still don't know (which I doubt...)
Register here: www.taylorsgift.org/register

I'm a little torn between wanting to share the newest H50 video clips and (maybe) getting a fansite in trouble with CBS...
One of the fansites I'm following has posted two great video clips - one is a Season 5 promo for H50 and the other one is the ultimate look back to Season 4 of H50. I suggest that you look around on the fansites to get a chance to enjoy the clips, too... Unfortunately, the clips are not on the official H50 YouTube channel and not even on the CBS page for H50 (which could, at least, be viewed by U.S. fans)... :-(

Off to work...

SEPTEMBER 3, 2014: Happy Hawaii Five-0 Day for the night-owls among the U.S. fans!

Tonight (Thu. at 1:02 a.m.), TNT shows a repeat of H50 ep. 2.14 "Pu`olo" (The Package)
If you are suffering from sleepless nights, tune in to see Danno help Rachel get her and Stan's baby. There's a second collage coming up later on today but I wanted to share this one first for the fans of Scotty and Claire. A lot of us (incl. myself) still think that Danno and Rachel were a really cute couple and great match... I certainly wouldn't mind Rachel coming back.

Great (old) cast photo posted on the official H50 Facebook page to promote the Season 5 premiere
One of my favorite promo pics of the main cast:
The Fantastic Four will be back on CBS on Sept. 26 at 9/8c

I love the promo pics for H50 ep. 5.01 "A`ohe kahi e pe`e ai" (Nowhere to hide) shared on the "AOL's Place" fansite
Image 4 of 9 with Steve and Danno leaning on the car is my top-favorite :-)

Oh, yeah! CBS video from the Season 5 promo photo-shoot with the H50 cast - CBS is spoiling us these days. Love it!
Since I'm "officially ill" (not too bad - no worries), this just made my day. I agree with the cast - I look forward to anything Peter and his team of writers have coming up for us, especially some character stuff for the main cast.
The cast at the Season 5 promo-shoot

Great gifs from the best scenes in the video above - posted on the "AOL - An Intense Study" fansite

An inspiring blog by Taylor's Gift about a kidney recipient - partly written from the perspective of the recipient
I'm sharing this as one of the many positive examples of how much good an organ transplant can do. By sharing her great experiences as an organ recipient at the Taylor's Gift events to promote organ donation awareness, Kim has certainly motivated many people to become organ donors - to outlive themselves and to save lives.
Here's the blog by/about Kim: A kidney recipient's passion

Info for those of you who are new to my page and still have no idea why I'm posting about organ donation on my fansite: First of all, I do so because I think it is, indeed, very important to make people aware of the lack of organs and the fact that people die every day just because they don't get a transplant in time. But I'm also sharing this because Alex himself supports organ donation and is a spokesperson for the "Taylor's Gift Foundation" which does a great job at helping people affected by organ donation and at creating organ donor awareness. For further information on why Alex supports this cause and for info about organ donation, please view my page about "Three Rivers" - Alex's previous show in which he played a transplant surgeon.
Here's the Three Rivers page (incl. a large link collection about organ donation).

Wendie's blog about Hawaiian food & restaurants has inspired me to make a new collage...
Steve always looks funny when he eats, doesn't he?! But I love those funny scenes :-)

Alex has thanked the fans who participated in the birthday fundraising campaign for Taylor's Gift initiated by TG
I'm sorry for those fans who participated in the fan-campaign initiated by me on behalf of some fan groups for Alex's birthday - I mean the campaign including the birthday card for him which was forwarded to him through his publicist. He didn't mention the $600 dollars raised by us nor did he thank the fans for the birthday card. Oh, well, maybe the info got lost on the way from his publicist to him. I don't know.
Just view the latest post on his Facebook page:

SEPTEMBER 5, 2014: Happy Hawaii Five-0 Day to the CBS viewers!

Tonight, CBS will show a repeat of ep. 4.21 "Makani `Olu a Holo Mālie" (Fair winds and following seas)
The "Afghanistan episode" was one of my personal favorites in Season 4 - although it was definitely no fun to see Steve getting beaten and almost decapitated, Alex's performance in this episode was so outstanding that I think he should have gotten an Emmy for it - yet he wasn't even nominated :-( Here's a repost of an old collage I made for this episode. I have a new collage coming up later on today...

A teaser pic from H50 ep. 5.04 posted by Peter - He sure knows how to make fans curious :-)
Steve in ep. 5.04 - Don't miss Peter's comment!
Another teaser from Peter:  Chin Ho or a family member??!!

GREAT article about Alex's participation in tomorrow's "Hawaii Walk to defeat ALS" by John Berger (Star Advertiser)
In this article, Alex talks about his very personal reasons for supporting the fight against the fatal disease ALS. Not only has he taken the so-called "Ice Bucket Challenge" but will also participate in the a.m. walk tomorrow to raise more awareness of ALS. He also talks a little bit about the upcoming Season 5 of H50.
http://www.honolulupulse.com/2014/09/alex-oloughlin-als-walk/

If you'd like to support Alex and his team of the "H50 ALS Warriors" in raising funds for the ALS Association to finance research against ALS and to help people affected by this awful disease, please go to this page:
http://web.alsa.org/goto/H50ALSWarriors

Will be back later...

Just noticed that my poor friend Wendie was nominated by fan Lisa to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Lisa has also nominated Jeff Cadiente who is likely to accept this challenge. Since Wendie is a smart lady, I hope she'll just donate to the ALS Assocation instead of dumping ice-cold water on herself :-)

My second collage for H50 ep. 4.21 which airs tonight on CBS
I've included some of the "tough" moments for Steve because Alex always shines as an actor in those scenes but I have left out very bloody pics of Steve's face to avoid shocking sensitive fans.

Here's also a repost of Wendie's Five-0 Redux blog about this excellent episode:

Do you have a good question about H50 for Boss Peter? Natalie Abrams of Entertainment Weekly will ask him for you!

Grrrrrrrrh! A fan stole my stunt collage for Jeff, cut out my name and used the collage for a card she sent to him
I'm just so freaking mad that I could explode! You might remember the collage I made for the Emmys to tell Jeff that he and his team are the best. I posted the collage on August 17 on my fansite and the Five-0 Redux page. Now some fan named Maggie simply cut my name out of the collage and used the collage on a card. Jeff posted a video clip showing the card and he thanked Maggie for the gift. I hope he finally sees my repost of the collage to know that Maggie did NOT make it!
Here's the clip with Maggie's card (My own collage can be seen on the August news page):
http://instagram.com/p/sk7ywzg4qv/  It totally sucks that fans steal stuff and pretend it is their work :-(

UPDATE: The fan just apologized. When she found the collage online, my name was already cut off and she didn't know whom to credit for it. Apology accepted!

CBS CHANGED TONIGHT's EPISODE at short notice !!!
Episode 4.16 "Hoku welowelo" will air instead of episode 4.21 !!!

 

SEPTEMBER 6, 2014:

About the changed CBS schedule last night: Sorry, if U.S. fans expected to see H50 ep. 4.21 yesterday. CBS made a change in their schedule at very short notice probably because of the scene in which Steve was almost decapitated. I think it was done out of respect for the family of journalist John Foley who was decapitated recently by terrorists. I wouldn't have made the collage for ep. 4.21 and posted it, if CBS had changed the schedule a few days earlier though... but I definitely understand their reasons.

About my collage used in the card for Jeff:
A fan friend just sent this to me and it made me laugh! At least back on Aug. 18, Maggie knew well where the collage came from - and credited Wendie for it which is perfectly o.k. with me. I just would have preferred to see this uncut version of my collage in the card, too...
https://twitter.com/maggiemcgarrett/status/501389150629945344/photo/1
PS: Maggie has apologized to me. Please stop sending her mean messages on Twitter and Facebook. That's going too far!

!!! Radio interview with Alex and with Fred Fisher (ALS Association) about ALS and Alex's personal involvement
I love how Alex talks about his Mom who was a nurse and occasionally took him to work with her when he was a kid. Alex's parents sure did a great job at raising a wonderful, caring person! Click on the "Listen" button at the top to hear the interview.

Last but not least, my new collage to promote my friend Wendie's Five-0 Redux blog coming up later today!
The new blog will be dedicated to these wonderful, fan-loved locals: Dennis Chun (Sgt. Duke Lukela), Kala Alexander (Kawika), Taylor Wily (Kamekona), Shawn Garnett (Kamekona's cousin Flippa) and, of course, Teilor Grubbs who plays Danno's adorable daughter Gracie on the show. I think for a show that is set in Hawai`i, it is immensely important to have local actors like them to achieve a certain authenticity. I love seeing them on the show and am definitely looking forward to Wendie's blog!

Will be back later...

Video of a very good interview with Taylor Wily (Kamekona) from 2012 about his career and his work on H50
As promised in my comment to Wendie's Five-0 Redux blog, here's an interview with Taylor in which he expresses how grateful he is for his job with H50. This video was posted by Bruce Fisher who is the owner of the Hawaii Aloha Travel agency  (www.hawaii-aloha.com). This travel agency is highly recommended for the fans of H50 because it offers special packages for fans visiting Oahu for the SOTB premieres, incl. tours to the filming locations of the show.
Thanks to Bruce for this video: Interview with Taylor (incl. pics of the H50 cast)

I really hope that Hawaii News Now will provide livestream coverage again. However, Tannya Joaquin will not be at the SOTB this year to do her interviews with the cast/producers of H50 (She's on vacation).
Here's Daniel's post: Get ready for the SOTB5 premiere!

This is awesome! A blog by Australian fan Wendy Hansen who met Alex at the Walk to Defeat ALS
I'm so happy for this fan cause she does so much to support Alex and the charities that are important to him. She participated in the fundraising campaign for Taylor's Gift that was set up by me for Alex's birthday on behalf of his fans. Since she gave the donation receipt to Alex, he might finally notice that there was a second fundraising campaign for his birthday :-)
Enjoy this great account by Wendy of her meeting with Alex. I definitely love it!

! Wendy has commented to this post on Facebook!
https://www.facebook.com/Five0Redux

Personal comment: I'm SO fed up with ignorant fans at the moment that I'll just watch TV and enjoy life for now. A fan (Vicki) posted a negative comment about our fan-campaign for Alex's birthday on Alex's official Facebook page. I replied to her, too, and hope she reads my comment and realizes how unjustified her post was. Anyway, after her comment and several negative "fan experiences" in the past few days, I'm currently NOT at all in the mood to post, promote or do anything on this fansite and the Five-0 Redux page. Sorry, I'll be back when I'm in a better mood.

Update: The comments by Vicki and me seem to have been deleted - I don't know if she deleted them (which I assume) or Alex resp. his publicist who maintains the page but deleting them was definitely a good idea! Her comment was just inappropriate.

The team of H50 will probably love this book which is a gift from Zoe for the 100th episode. She'll give it to them during her upcoming set visit (a gift from her husband who participated in the Charity Buzz auction). Thanks to the Five-0 Undercover fansite for posting this photo and video. I submitted several pages with collages but don't know if they all made it into the book since Zoe got a lot of submissions right before the deadline in August.

Please read this post by "Taylor's Gift" to find out why you should become an organ donor
While quite a few fans have donated to the Taylor's Gift Foundation recently as it was a birthday wish from Alex himself who has been a spokesperson for this great charity for several years, there may still be fans who are reluctant to become organ donors. Well, if you are one of them, this post is just perfect for you because it highlights the very positive sides of organ donation.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2014: Happy Hawaii Five-0 Day or Night for the TNT viewers in the U.S.!

Tonight (Fri., 12:03), TNT will show ep. 2.16 "I helu pu" (The reckoning) BUT it skips ep. 2.15!
Since ep. 2.15 (which will NOT air on TNT for inexplicable reasons) was a great episode with Scotty shining as an actor when Gracie was kidnapped by his former cop partner from New Jersey, I decided to make a collage from that episode, anyway. I will post the collage for ep. 2.16 later on today!!!

The collage from ep. 2.16 (which airs tonight on TNT) will be posted after work!

Here's my new collage for H50 ep. 2.16 "I helu pu" (The reckoning) which airs tonight on TNT (Fri., 12:03 a.m.)

Love to hear that ET Canada's Erin Cebula will be in Hawaii to celebrate the 100th episode of H50
Erin has posted a photo of herself with Alex from a Season 1 interview. She's done several fun interviews with Alex in the past and I'm sure we can look forward to a new one :-) Sounds great!
Here's the photo of Erin Cebula with Alex
 

SEPTEMBER 12, 2014: Happy Hawaii Five-0 Day to CBS viewers!

Tonight, the exciting and funny ep. 4.08 "Akanahe" (Reluctant partners) airs on CBS
For starters, here's just an old collage I made out of promo pics before the episode first aired. It was a reaaally good episode for several reasons and the scene with Steve riding the horse was actually shot on the day of last year's SOTB4 premiere.
Since I liked this episode a lot because of the funny interplay between Chi and Alex, and because Alex looked kinda "hot" in it, I made a second collage last night which I'll post later (after work). So, once again, you have something to look forward to :-)

Great fan photo with Alex posted by "water_nymph89" on Instagram - Thank you!
Alex looking very good with fan Jenn
and she's also posted this BTS-photo of Scotty filming at Aloha Tower

SEPTEMBER 13, 2014: TIME TO CELEBRATE :-)

Not only is H50 celebrating the 100th episode of our favorite show this week with a huge cake for the team on Friday - but Saturday is also the day of the big SOTB5 premiere in Honolulu. And fans who can't be there we'll hopefully get comforted with lots of pics and videos shared by the lucky ones who get to celebrate with the cast and crew of H50 at the beach.

He covered up the suture with just a band-aid... He's shared several photos (I'm NOT posting the one of the actual cut-off finger!)
Here he is with just a band-aid and, later on, a bandage: Good to see that the doctors did a good job

REMINDER: Tomorrow (Tuesday, Sept. 16) the Season 4 DVDs of H50 will be released in the U.S.
I hope you've pre-ordered your copy already - but, if not, this reminder is even more important :-)

P.S.: The Blu-rays have not been released. I thought they were always released on the same day as the DVDs but not this year. Sorry, I had no idea because I always pre-order the DVDs for me.

Since Peter shared the link to the super-funny Season 4 gag-reel of H50, I guess it's safe to share it here, too
I wasn't going to share this for copyright reasons but, hey, if the boss shares this video, why not give all the fans a chance to enjoy it while they are waiting for the DVD-boxes to be delivered :-)

Dennis Chun (Sgt. Duke Lukela) has a message for the fans & shared SOTB photos with Wendie
Great message and photo from Dennis and his photos from the SOTB premiere

Important message: Since there is currently a fan who has set up a Facebook fansite with a slightly strange name and promotes it just about everywhere and claims that she will be raising funds for the "Alex Charity" (No such thing exists!), I would like to point out that this woman is in no way connected to fan groups like the AOL German Fan Club or the "(German) AOL Fans for Donate Life" that have run fundraising campaigns in the past few years for such charities as "Taylor's Gift" that Alex is a spokesperson for. I don't know this woman, so I can't say if she can be trusted or not... The fansite doesn't look very "good" to me. I merely recommend not to donate through any page that is not directly set up through the charities' websites. All of the "AOL Fans for Donate Life" fundraising pages were always set up directly through the charities' pages to ensure that the money goes directly to the charities. Here's the link to the Taylor's Gift fundraising page - By donating through this link, you can be sure that your donation goes directly to "Taylor's Gift": http://taylorsgift.org/give/

About the H50 DVDs of Season 4: Have any of you fans also pre-ordered the Season 4 DVDs of H50 through amazon.com months ago and have still not received a shipping confirmation?

Oooph - I couldn't access my t-online e-mail account this morning but it works now. What a relief! That's the kind of shock I really don't need in the morning - I thought it had been hacked. I have a second e-mail account (gmail) but I don't usually use that one.

!!! Now this has made my day - The VERY best start into a new season of my favorite show :-)
I guarantee you will LOVE this sneak peek into H50 ep. 5.01 "A`ohe kahi e pe`e ai" (Nowhere to hide) posted by Entertainment Weekly.

Off to work...

Had no time to share the good news this morning that today is a "Happy Hawaii Five-0 Day" :-)
Tonight, ep. 4.22 "O ka pili `ohana ka `oi" (Family comes first) - the great season finale - airs on CBS. And, by the way, there was no H50 on TNT this week. They will have an "H50 night" next Friday after the new season premiere on CBS. A total of 5 episodes from season 2 will air on TNT next Friday night (Sat. morning). Here's repost of the collage for the Season 4 finale. I was going to make another collage but this week was just much too busy.

Here's WendieFive-0 Redux blog about this episode. She always posts the blogs on Facebook when the episodes are repeated:

Wow! Mark Dacascos is in GERMANY filming :-) A warm welcome to Mark!
I wonder which city he is in... - Munich (where I live) and Berlin are the top filming locations in Germany, so it's likely that he's shooting in one of those cities. Of course, it would be great if he was in Munich.
Here's his post on Twitter: Mark saying Aloha from Germany

The Five-0 Redux blog by my friend Wendie is coming up later today - and here's a little collage to get you prepared :-)
Some H50 fans have shared their SOTB5 experiences and photos with Wendie. In her blog, she writes about what the fans told her about the event and about meeting the cast. Of course, those fans include Wendie's friends Lisa (H50hana fansite) and Amy (Team H50 fansite).

Will be back later...

Here it is: Wendie's brandnew Five-0 Redux blog about the SOTB5 premiere last weekend
She talked not only to fans who attended and enjoyed the event but also to actor Dennis Chun who pointed out how special the entire week had been for H50 since it had celebrated not only the premiere on the beach but also its 100th episode.

Des épisodes de "Three Rivers", un feuilleton dans lequel Alex jouait le rōle d'un chirurgien, seront diffusés sur M5 lundi prochain, le 22/09, mais très tard: à 0h30. - Merci à fan Michèle pour l'information. Elle ne sait pas si d'autres épisodes sont programmés.
 

SEPTEMBER 21, 2014:

Oh, yeah! I love Mark's response to the fan tweets from Munich :-)
After Mark tweeted yesterday that he's in Germany shooting a film, a fan-friend of mine from the AOL German Fan Club wrote back that fans in Munich (incl. myself, of course) would love to meet him. He posted a message in German saying that they'll try to arrange a meet&greet since he'll probably visit Munich for the Oktoberfest. He'll keep his fans updated on Twitter.

And a reply from Mark Dacascos (through Wendie's Twitter account) to my post on the Five-0 Redux Facebook page
Since Wendie's Twitter account is linked to the Five-0 Redux Facebook page (which I am a co-admin of), Mark saw my collage and message to him which I posted on FB this morning and replied through Twitter (I don't have a Twitter account myself though). Wendie just shared his Twitter reply to her account on FB:

SEPTEMBER 22, 2014:

"HAWAII FIVE-0" IS BACK - Only on GERMAN television today :-)
While U.S. fans have to wait a few more days (until Friday, Sept. 26) for the Season 5 premiere on CBS, the fans in Germany can celebrate the return of H50 tonight with two new episodes on Sat.1. However, these two episodes are 4.15 "Pale`Ia" (Buried Secrets) and 4.16 "Hōkū welowelo" (Fire in the sky) which aired a long time ago in the U.S. - so no reason to be envious of the German fans :-) Instead of reposting the "old" collages for these episodes, which can be found on my page about Season 4, I made this new collage with bright orange to catch the readers' attention!

For more information about the show in German (!), view the page of Sat.1:

I just gotta share the latest blog from "Taylor's Gift" (for which Alex is a spokesperson)
So happy for this brave little boy whose ALS Ice Bucket Challenge video clip was the very best ever!

The final collage for TNT's H50 marathon on Friday night!
Since Friday will be reserved for collages about the Season 5 of H50 that premieres tomorrow night on CBS, this is the last collage for the old Season 2 episodes of which six will be repeated on TNT a couple of hours after ep. 5.01 airs on CBS.

It will be great to meet one of the guys in this collage (Mark Dacascos) this Sunday in Munich at his meet&greet with fans. And Mark really has nothing to worry about - we are not "confusing" him with his character Wo Fat on the show. Luckily, Mark is the total opposite of Wo Fat in real life - which is good to know, if you are a fan of Alex like myself and the fan-friends who'll come to the meet&greet with me :-)
 

SEPTEMBER 26, 2014 - Oh, yeaaaaah!!! H50 is back on CBS with its grand Season 5 premiere!

Tonight brings a true "H50 feast" for the U.S. fans with the Season 5 premiere on CBS and 6 old episodes on TNT
The H50 pleasure will be started off at 9/8c on CBS with the brandnew episode 5.01 "A`ohe kahi e pe`e ai" (Nowhere to hide). Later in the evening, at 11:31 p.m., the fun will continue with the H50 marathon on TNT consisting of 6 consecutive episodes from Season 2 (Eps. 2.17 to 2.22). Have fun watching! Here's my first collage of the day to welcome back H50 :-)

SEPTEMBER 28, 2014:

Fan feedback about the H50 Season 5 premiere is extremely positive - as expected!!!
There are some VERY exciting, VERY cool clips from this obviously absolutely awesome, breathtaking episode in the official H50 YouTube account. A HUGE "Thank you" to CBS for posting these clips! I haven't been able to watch the premiere episode yet in Germany but will try to watch in the afternoon before I pick up a visitor (a fan friend) who'll be staying with me till Monday - which means I'll have very limited time for updates this weekend!

Will you bring a Korean mini-series to the U.S.?
How would you describe your co-stars? Chi McBride?
Will there be any story lines involving Chin this season?

Reminder of Mark Dacascos about the meet&greet with fans in Munich tomorrow (This time in English)
I'm really looking forward to seeing Mark live :-) That reminds me that I should get some housework and shopping done now because I have to pick up a fan-friend from Vienna at the train-station later on who'll be staying with me for two nights - of course, she's coming with me to the meet&greet tomorrow.

Off for a long breakfast and then to the meet&greet with Mark Dacascos - Oh, yeah!

Mahalo Nui Loa to Mark Dacascos and the film production company "Silent Justice" for today's meet&greet with fans!
We had such a blast meeting Mark who proved to be the total opposite of his character Wo Fat on H50!
I had heard before that Mark is a super-nice, down-to-earth, humorful guy, and after meeting him today, I can personally confirm that this is absolutely true. He is a wonderful guy and totally grounded. He took a lot of photos, gave autographs and talked to the fans at the meet&greet at the Bavaria Film Studios in Munich. My fan-friend who had come all the way from Vienna was in heaven when he gave her a real good hug :-)
We didn't have time to talk much about the movie "Ultimate Justice" that he is currently filming in Germany (mainly in Baden-Wuerttemberg) but we learned that filming will take another four weeks. He talked about his role as Wo Fat on H50 real short since one of the fans wanted to know how long it takes the make-up dept. to create those burn scars in his face. He said he usually gets picked up at 3 a.m. and spends a few hours in the make-up trailer before happy Alex even shows up for work.
Anyway, it was definitely a pleasure to get to meet one of the nicest guys on our favorite show.
Make sure to check out Mark's movie "Ultimate Justice" when it comes out in 2015!
You'll find more information about it on this page on imdb.com:

SEPTEMBER 29, 2014: Happy Hawaii Five-0 Day to the fans in Germany :-)

Tonight, (at least) two episodes of H50 will air on Sat.1 in Germany from 20.15 p.m.
I'm writing "at least" because last week Sat.1 surprised its viewers by showing a third episode which had not been in the schedule before. According to today's TV schedule, the new ep. 4.17 "Ma lalo o ka `ili" (Beneath the surface) will air at 20.15 p.m., followed by the older ep. 3.02 "Kānalua" (Doubt) with guest-star Ed Asner. Here's just a repost of one of my two collages for ep. 4.17 because there's no collage for ep. 3.02 yet. Since it will air this Friday night on TNT, there'll be a collage by then.

For more information and previews of tonight's episodes on German television, please go to:

SEPTEMBER 30, 2014

Still catching up with stuff from last night since I FINALLY had time to watch the absolutely awesome Season 5 premiere (followed by 3 H50-episodes on German TV) which was definitely as BIG as Peter intended it to be. The episode could easily be compared to a movie due to its special effects with drones and even an airplane landing on a street in the middle of Honolulu. But the episode also had the McDanno carguments and humor that we all love so much. While some fans complained that certain scenes were totally unrealistic (Hey, it's a TV show, not a documentary!), I simply thought it was TV entertainment at its best.
Short info: I'm currently on vacation for two weeks, so updates may be very irregular, such as late at night or very late in the mornings (like today :-)).

Those linked Facebook and Twitter accounts certainly are a bit confusing :-)
I had posted a Thank you message to Mark Dacascos on the Five-0 Redux Facebook page two days ago, and since the FB account is linked to Wendie's Twitter account, the post automatically got forwarded to Wendie's and Mark's Twitter account - and Mark thanked Wendie who told him the message was from me.
I just found this on Twitter...
