JULY 3, 2019:
Happy Birthday to Ian Anthony Dale - H50's Adam Noshimuri! May his day be full of happy smiles :-)
Info about the H50 episode written/directed
by Alex - It is not the season premiere but will air later in Season 10!
Wendie got this info from CBS since fans had been wondering if the episode that
was filming Monday night in L.A. would air as the season premiere. I'd also like
to repeat that filming in Hawaii will get kicked off on July 17 with the annual
blessing.
Here's what Wendie posted on the Five-0 Redux page - incl. a photo with Alex:

JULY 4, 2019:
Happy Throwback Thursday with a look
back at Alex at the season blessings of H50!
Who else looks forward to the Season 10 blessing on July 17? Even though we
haven't seen much (videos/photos) from the blessings in the last two seasons,
it's always good to know that H50 keeps up this great tradition. It seems to
have brought good luck to the show since H50 has been around for almost a decade.
Enjoy Alex's happy "jiu-jitsu face"
- Thanks to Jack Taufer for the post!

Not new but I always thought this screenshot of Steve and the flag in H50 was perfect for the 4th of July!
JULY 5, 2019:
Happy H50 & Magnum P.I. Friday with
repeats of great episodes from both of my favorite shows on CBS!
Viewers in the U.S. can enjoy H50 ep. 9.13 at 8/7c (1 hour earlier than in the
past), followed by Magnum P.I. ep. 1.10 at 9/8c.

Article by Hawaii News Now about
Alex writing and directing an episode for H50 Season 10:
The news were, of course, shared by Peter earlier this week but it never hurts
to repeat great news about Alex :-)
https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2019/07/05/talk-about-talent-mcgarrett-write-direct-upcoming-episode-hawaii-five-/
Since I felt like making a new collage, here are Steve & Co. in H50 ep. 9.13 again to get you ready for tonight's repeat on CBS
JULY 6, 2019: Have a great weekend :-)
Happy H50 Night to the German fans
with repeats of ep. 6.13 and 6.14 on Kabel Eins at 8:15 p.m.!
You probably all remember the scene captured in the collage of McDanno arriving
at the Five-0 headquarters after a "car race" back from surfing with the rest of
the team.
For info, collages and blogs from Season 6, please view:
www.alex-the-best.de/aolhaw6.htm
Info in German about today's episodes:
https://www.kabeleins.de/tv/hawaii-five-0/episoden/mein-liebster-feind
https://www.kabeleins.de/tv/hawaii-five-0/episoden/unglueck-im-glueck
The Five-0 members in their surf outfits in H50 ep. 6.13 are probably worth a repost, too - and good motivation for German fans to watch the repeat of the episode tonight on Kabel Eins :-)
And just because Steve was so much fun in H50 ep. 6.13, here's one more new collage for all the fans to enjoy :-)
Today's Five-0 Redux blog about the
passing of Beth Chapman was cancelled because Wendie has been struggling with
really strong migraines - but we do have Star Advertiser articles and videos to
share, as well as collages for Beth's fans!
Wendie was going to write about Beth and Dog Chapman's appearances on H50 and
about the fans' massive reaction to Beth's recent death. Since there have been a
couple of Star Advertiser articles about it, we've decided to just share those
articles. I also have a few collages with Beth and Dog to post since I had
already made them.
Here's my Facebook post with links to the articles/videos by Wendie's Star Advertiser
colleagues, as well as my collages::

Video interview with H50 guest-actor
and comedian Pauly Shore by HNN's Guy Hagi:
Pauly Shore will give two shows tonight at the Blue Note Hawaii. According to
Pauly, his friend Peter Lenkov will be there. Pauly also reveals that he'll have
a guest-role on Peter's second Hawaii-based show Magnum P.I.:

Happy International Kissing Day with McRoll in the early seasons of H50!
And since I couldn't decide which pictures to use, here's another Kissing Day collage with H50's McRoll...
While we are waiting for the best
cast and crew to return to set in Hawaii on July 17, enjoy some BTS-videos from
H50 Season 9 filming - Mahalo to Brian for sharing these clips!
Make sure to read his full text about the Season 9 DVDs coming on
Sept. 10 - and his question to the fans!!!

JULY 7, 2019: Have a Sunny Sunday while I'm actually enjoying a cooler, rainy day which is a relief after all the heat :-)
Video of H50 guest-actor and future
Magnum P.I. guest-actor Pauly Shore enjoying a drink with Boss Peter:
This was taken shortly before Pauly's comedy shows at the Blue Note Hawaii and
he can be so glad that Peter's driver Lance was around, too, to make sure those
shows would start in time (Hopefully, anyway...):
https://www.instagram.com/p/BzmbCRVgHXK/
P.S.: If you don't know Lance, you should listen to the "van talks" he and Peter
have driving around on the island. You can follow them in Peter's Instagram
Stories. Lance was also at the SOTB9 last year with Peter.
Are you dreaming of Hawaii or
planning a trip to explore the home of H50 and Magnum P.I.? Then my page about
Hawaii is just perfect for you!
You'll find plenty of useful travel information, Wendie's Five-0 Redux blogs
about an H50 fan tour, a fan walking tour and advice for fans attending
Sunset-on-the-Beach premieres (SOTB). You also find my own travel blogs and
photo albums, as well as info and links for special fan tours (H50 location
tour, Magnum helicopter tours etc.). The page also includes a large link
collection with online shops selling Hawaiian products. Last but not least,
there are links for fans wanting to learn the Hawaiian language, as well as a
dictionary I compiled a few years ago.
There's a lot to browse through to plan your next trip to Hawaii or to just
enjoy the beauty of the islands. Take a look:
www.alex-the-best.de/hawaii.htm
P.S.: If you are planning to visit Hawaii for the SOTB premiere in September,
please note that CBS has NOT yet confirmed the SOTB, let alone announced a
specific date for it. I'm quite sure though that we'll get another SOTB. There
must be an SOTB because at least one fan has already booked her trip to Hawaii
for September :-)
Take a look back at the medical show
"Three Rivers" and related interviews with Alex about organ donation!
It's been almost 10 years since Alex played a transplant surgeon on "Three
Rivers" and became a strong supporter and ambassador for organ donation, While
we haven't heard any statement from him about organ donation in quite a while,
it's safe to assume that if anyone asked him about it in a current interview, he
would still wholeheartedly support organ donation.
For now, we can look back and rewatch old interviews in which he talked about
the life-saving benefits of organ donation and transplantation. On my page about
"Three Rivers", you find good interviews with him that are always worth
rewatching and will, hopefully, inspire you to become organ donors like Alex:

the great new Magnum Reloaded blog by Wendie real quick before work...
It's about the start of filming Season 2 of Magnum P.I. with the blessing. It
also takes a look at potential storylines we might see in Season 2:

Today's collage of the day is again dedicated to the No. 1 on my fansite: Alex as Steve McGarrett :-)
A look back at when Alex's buddy
Enson Inoue got the H50 guest-role as Mr. Ko who refused to lend money to Danno:
Enson is perfectly right - since Mr. Ko never died, we might see him again in
future episodes of the show. By the way - Boss Peter already responded on
Twitter with these words "You are so right... he needs to return." Sounds good
to me :-)

Don't
miss the brandnew Five-0 Redux blog on Saturday: It's about some of Five-0's
past, present and future lovers
The blog will take a look at Steve & Cath, Danno & Rachel, as well as Adam &
Tamiko.
https://www.staradvertiser.com/category/five-0-redux/
Here's today's new Five-0 Redux blog
about some lovers on H50 - It was posted while I enjoyed H50 on TV :-)
https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/07/13/features/five-0-redux/five-0-redux-lovers-past-present-add-strong-dimension-to-hawaii-five-0/
JULY 14, 2019: Have a Sunny Sunday!
Today's collages take a look at Steve
and his ex-lover Cath who keeps coming back but never stays for long...
While I loved McRoll in the early seasons and thought they were great together,
I agree with fans who say that Steve can't possibly get back together or even
marry a woman who has repeatedly (!) left him and lied to him because she
obviously puts work first. Cath is too much like Steve's mother who left her
family behind repeatedly and brought so much sadness into her family's lives due
to her job - a job that Cath has repeatedly chosen over Steve. While Steve and
Cath will definitely remain friends and know they can rely on each other when
one of them needs the other's "professional help" to fight baddies, it just
wouldn't make sense anymore for Steve to get back together with Cath after all
her good-byes... Why would he want to marry someone who reminds him of his own
mother Doris McGarrett?! Just my personal humble opinion.
If you missed the Five-0 Redux blog and what Wendie wrote about Steve and Cath
and other past, present and future lovers on H50, take a look now:

A reminder by the Alex O'Loughlin
Fans for Organ Donation: You can be happily alive while you are saving lives as
a donor!
Since so many people automatically associate organ donation with death and with
losing someone, we need to remember that donors can donate kidneys, parts of
their liver, blood or bone marrow while they are healthy and very much alive.
Below are some info links related to living donation, blood donation and bone
marrow transplants

JULY 15, 2019:
Looks like we might finally get a
crossover of my two favorite shows H50 & Magnum P.I. early in the new season.
"Hawaii Isla 808" has shared BTS-photos from filming in Honolulu this Sunday. It
was the "Magnum P.I." stunt-crew filming but you can tell by the look of the
stunt-doubles that H50's Steve and Danno will be in the scenes, too. It might
just be a short appearance or an actual crossover episode. We'll have to wait
and see. .

Since H50 will start filming in Hawaii this week for Season 10, we can look forward
to more BTS photos which are usually shared generously by awesome cast members like Meaghan,
Kimee & Co. - and we are very grateful to them!
Since I can never get too much of my favorite cast and their happy smiles, here's another collage. I hope you enjoy this view as much as I do!
More fun pics coming up on Tuesday :-)

H50 and Magnum P.I. :-)

JULY 17, 2019:
Welcome back to the cast & crew of
H50 who start filming in Hawaii for Season 10 today!
While there was already some earlier filming in L.A. for the episode written/directed
by Alex, the "official" start in Hawaii with the traditional blessing
is supposed to take
place today.
The new Magnum Reloaded blog about
Magnum P.I.'s Tim Kang and his character Det. Katsumoto is online:
https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/07/17/features/magnum-reloaded/magnum-reloaded-actor-tim-kang-helps-create-interesting-partnership-on-magnum-p-i/
UPDATE by "Reel News Hawaii": It
seems like filming of H50 in Hawaii has not started yet!
I was already wondering because Peter just travelled to Canada with his son -
and he always attended the blessings at the start of filming for the new seasons.
It did seem a bid odd that H50 would start filming without the boss being there
but since Alex and Scotty weren't back on Oahu for last year's blessing, there
was a slight possibility that the blessing might happen without Peter.

Mahalo nui loa to Beulah and the H50
crew members for showing solidarity with the protectors of Mauna Kea!
I've been watching many videos from Mauna Kea where Hawaiians, locals and
supporters led by kupuna/elders (of whom more than 30 have been arrested this
week) have peacefully tried to protect the holy mountain from desecration by
blocking access to the summit where a gigantic telescope (TMT) is supposed to
get built - joining smaller telescopes of which some aren't even used and are
just "littering" the sacred mountain. Governor Ige should know that the world is,
indeed, watching and that we see how his government keeps disrespecting its own
people in this matter and keeps telling lies about what's been going on. It's a
shame and makes me sad to see how Hawaiians and their land are exploited,
neglected and disrespected - not only in this particular case.
Here's a video message from Beulah and the local crew:

More pics from the Season 10 blessing of
H50 - since I made too many screenshots from the videos :-)
And, of course, the Five-0 Redux blog is about the
blessing and takes a look at what might be coming up in Season 10.

Shopping recommendation for H50 fans
visiting Hawaii - Check out this store at the Hilton Hawaiian Village!
Thanks to "Hawaii Isla 808" for the photos. I've repeatedly bought fan items at
"Winnie's Jewellery" store located on the ground floor of the Diamond Head Tower
at the Hilton Village. Actually, I just drank some tea out of the "50 years
Hawaii Five-0" mug this morning, and I have the anniversary key tag attached to
the bag I carry with me every day.

Congrats to Meaghan Rath on a new
role in "Supergirl" where she joins her brother who's been on the cast for a
while!
I just really hope that Meaghan will still be on H50 frequently because I love
her as Tani. "Supergirl" does not sound like my kind of show. Here's an article
about her:

Doris McGarrett is back on H50 -
Here's a BTS-photo of actress Christine Lahti with Alex at the film studio!
https://twitter.com/ChristineALahti/status/1152749998313840640
H50 fans will be glad to hear that
Meaghan is on her way back to Hawaii!
After the news about her joining the cast of "Supergirl", some fans (incl.
myself) were a little worried that she might not have time for H50 anymore, so
I'm probably not the only one who's happy to hear that she's returning to H50. While we
don't know yet how much time she'll spend on each one of the two shows, we hope
that we'll continue to see very much of her on H50.

Starting into the week with the last
collage with pictures from the Season 10 blessing of H50...
Eddie looked particularly good in the pictures -
the perfect poser :-)
Mahalo to the cast & crew of H50 for
working even on a Sunday night - Here's proof from Shane!
Beulah shared the view in an Instagram Story, too, and Alex's stand-in Marc was
also on set and, sure enough, they were not the only ones who worked hard on a
weekend to bring us the best show.

Enjoy a BTS-look at super-cool stunt
scenes from Season 9 of H50 to wet your appetite for the DVDs coming out Sept.

JULY 23, 2019:
Have a Terrific Tuesday with two of
my H50 favorites: Steve & Duke!
I kinda like Wendie's idea of Duke becoming a father figure for Steve (mentionned
in her latest Five-0 Redux blog) but actually I'm just fine with the great
relationship these two have had for a long time as loyal friends who always help
each other in times of need. I have prepared several collages focusing on their
friendship and mutual support. Here's the first one.
And if you missed what Wendie wrote about McDuke in her latest blog, take a look
now:

H50 is still pretending to be
shooting in Mexico for the episode written and directed by Alex :-)
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0O-kY4j2VF/
Meaghan has confirmed that she joins
the cast of "Supergirl" by sharing this post from her brother Jesse:
Oh, and in one of her replies to comments by fans, she confirmed that
she is not leaving H50 - She'll be on both shows!
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0PA_h3Bc3N/
German fans of H50 Boss Peter's
other show "MacGyver" (which is already super-busy filming Season 4!) should not
miss tonight's Season 3 premiere on Sat.1 at 8:15 p.m. (2 episodes)!
Here's the German promo trailer:

The cast & crew of H50 stand with
Mauna Kea - Here's a video clip posted by crew members!
It's good to see the growing number of people joining the "Kū Kia'i Mauna"
movement to protect the sacred mountain from desecration by the construction of
the TMT (30-meter telescope).
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0QHTgADHjN/
Here's today's McDuke collage no. 2 for H50 fans who love these two:

Director Alex always gets what he
needs from the amazing crew of H50 - Read Kurt's comment with his post!
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0SovMkhcGN/
This photo gives you an idea of the
gorgeous view captured on camera for the H50 episode directed by Alex (Cif.
previous post):
Of course, you won't see the dolly track in the episode but, most likely, the
sun and an airplane flying in or out - maybe with Steve and/or his mom on board.
We'll have to wait and see but I'm sure that Alex's episode will definitely be
worth waiting for!
https://www.instagram.com/p/B0SW-9iBTGI/
My clear answer to this photo and
question is, of course: I'm watching H50 :-)
The post is by a German who travels to filming locations, as you will see if you
take a closer look at the "Filmtourismus" page:

Back in the evening...
H50 Boss Peter's 2nd show from
Hawaii "Magnum P.I." is back on German television!
VOX made a very short-term decision to continue with Season 1 and it aired an
episode today which I almost missed. Sorry for the late post. I hate it when TV
networks make last-minute decisions to change their schedules, as in this case.
I bet I'm not the only one who found out late or even too late about the return
of Magnum P.I. and the episode was the rather important one about the return of
Hannah.
Here's my last collage (for now) of H50's McDuke:
JULY 25, 2019:
Happy Day with Alex and Scotty in BTS-photos from H50 seasons 8 & 9:

Great to see H50 & Magnum P.I. boss
Peter stand with the protectors of the sacred mountain Mauna Kea, too!
In case you didn't guess yet from my few previous posts (shared from
Beulah and the H50 crew), I definitely stand with Mauna Kea, too, and have for
several years. I even sent a long email to some people in Hawaii a few days ago,
shortly before Gov. Ige decided to finally visit the Mauna Kea protectors on
location. I just wanted to express what people worldwide think about the blatant
disrespect towards Hawaiians and their culture expressed in the insistence to
built the TMT (giant telescope) on a sacred mountain and expressed in the
arrests of peaceful kupuna/elders trying to protect the mountain. I refuse to
give up hope that the TMT project management will change their plans and will
built the telescope somewhere else (Canary Islands) when they realize that a
large majority is on the side of the peaceful protectors of Mauna Kea. There are
already a dozen telescopes littering the sacred mountain and there's been
massive mismanagement of the telescope facilities over the last 50 years. Enough
is enough! This is not a "new protest" as TMT supporters want to make you think
- Hawaiians tried to stop previous construction of telescopes, too, but were
ignored in their own land. So keep your fingers crossed and let's hope that the
desecration of Mauna Kea will be stopped. Here's Peter's post:

Happy H50 Friday ot the CBS viewers

Quite an impressive collection: The
cameras and equipment for filming H50 - Thanks to Shane for the photos!
I've always loved the name of the camera that captures those great images of
Alex: The Arri ALEXA (made by the world-famous company Arri here in Munich).

Videos of the H50 crew and Beulah

I hope they'll find sponsors for food and drinks very soon - otherwise their
newest team member Beulah should jump in :-)

Meaghan, Scotty and Ian are back on
the set of H50, too - Thanks to fan Lisa ('Alohaspaceman') and to Meaghan for
this video clip!
You can only see Ian but you can hear the others in the background.

JULY 27, 2019: Happy Weekend :-)
Happy Birthday to Silke - head and co-founder of the German Alex O'Loughlin Fan Club!
Happy H50 Night to the German fans
with two Season 6 episodes on Kabel Eins at 8:15 p.m.!
Fans in Germany can rewatch the H50 episodes 6.19 and 6.20 tonight.

Important info for German fans of
H50: The show will be back with NEW episodes on August 27, 2019!
According to the "TV Serienhighlights" magazine, H50 will return with the second
half of Season 9 on Sat.1, starting with H50 ep. 9.14 on Aug. 27 at 10:15. Let's
hope that Sat.1 doesn't change its plans again...
Speaking about the "TV
Serienhighlights" magazine - The newest issue includes 5 pages about H50 boss
Peter's show MacGyver!
There's an episode guide (Season 3 / Part 1) with a lot of pictures. I know that
some fans collect the episode guides, so you may want to know about this one.
Sadly, the magazine was already printed when VOX decided this week to continue
with Magnum P.I., so that show is not included in the magazine's TV schedule for
August.

No Five-0 Redux blog this weekend -
it will be back next week!
Wendie's editor decided to postpone the blog. I suppose the Star Advertiser has
plenty of other stuff to write about, at the moment. Update: Wendie's
editor is just giving Wendie a break because school starts next week and
Wendie's main job is teaching.
Just found out that it's "National New Jersey Day" - The perfect day to dedicate a new collage to H50's Jersey import Danno :-)
JULY 28, 2019: Have a Sunny Sunday!
As Alex's birth month is getting
closer, get informed about our birthday campaign by the Alex O'Loughlin Fans for
Organ Donation!
Like every year, our group will run a birthday campaign which will give fans the
opportunity to leave birthday messages for Alex that we'll collect and send to
him in a group card - and, as usual, we will also ask you to make a donation to
support an organ donation charity because that's the best and most meaningful
gift for organ donation ambassador Alex. Since he also loves his home Hawaii and
its people, the donations raised through our birthday campaign will again
benefit "Legacy of Life Hawaii", the Hawaiian counterpart of Donate Life. This
year, we are not only celebrating Alex's birthday but also the 50th anniversary
of the first organ transplantation in Hawaii (August 9, 1969) - The perfect
reason to support organ donor families and transplant patients in Alex's home Hawaii with our
campaign which will run throughout August.
For more about this year's 50th anniversary of organ transplantation in Hawaii
incl. information provided to us by "Legacy of Life Hawaii", please view:
http://www.alex-the-best.de/TransplantHawaii2019.htm
If you don't know anything about "Legacy of Life Hawaii" yet,
please take a look at their website and follow their social media accounts to
get an idea of their work:
