OLD VS. NEW: Jack Lord, left, as Detective McGarrett in 1975. Alex O’Loughlin, right, as McGarrett with Scott Caan as Danno in 2010. five-0 from E2
land,” the governor hisses. It gets better the minute
McGarrett meets Danny Wil- liams, a total haole played by the sardonic fireplug Scott Caan, who frankly saves the pilot episode. (Caan was in the “Ocean’s 11” movies and more recently on this season’s “Entourage.”) Danny is “Hawaii Five-0’s” newfangled Danno, a divorced Jersey cop who moved to Honolulu when his ex-wife “dragged my daughter to this pineapple-infested hellhole.” McGarrett and Danno butt heads and argue, which makes for the show’s essential (perhaps
only) fuel. After McGarrett’s tac- tics get Danno by automatic gun- fire, the two have a fight in the car: “I’m glad you have that GI Joe thousand-yard stare from chasing shoe bombers around the world, but in civilized society we have rules,” Danno says, in in- creasingly and risibly hack dia- logue. “It’s the unspoken glue that separates us from jackals and hyenas. Rule number one — if you get somebody shot, you apologize.” Soon they’re bickering sweetly,
like old marrieds. After a detour to bust up a hu-
man-trafficking ring, Danno and McGarrett get their terrorist (was
there any doubt? “Book ’em, Dan- no”) and the governor gets her se- cret police force and, most of all, CBS gets another formulaic win- ner.
But what do “Lost” fans get? Daniel Dae Kim (Jin from “Lost”) segues nicely to his new home here in the supporting role of Chin Ho Kelly, a resourceful for- mer cop who joins the team. (There’s also a new Kono, Chin Ho’s cousin — this time a surfer girl just out of the police acad- emy, played by Grace Park.) That’s not much salve for peo- ple still mentally combing Oahu (“Lost’s” set location) looking for Hurley and the hatch. If nothing
else, “Hawaii Five-0” offers these fanfolk refugees a recuperatively scenic, brainless vacation spot in which to linger, while they sip mai tais and wait in vain for this island to hop through space and time. As the new Danno would say: “Seriously?”
