We're in the back half of season 2 with episode 18 "Killer Bee" and episode 19 "The One with the Gun". Five-O is dealing with a string of puzzling kidnappings and then chasing after a man looking for his brother's killer. This episode has been blessed by John Colicos and Jack Soo in a fabulous robe.

Three -yes three!- season 2 episodes! A bomber intending to kill Steve only blinds him in "Blind Tiger"; "Bored, She Hung Herself", the infamous lost episode of the show; and Steve tries to help an AWOL seaman in "Run, Johnny, Run". Marion Ross and Christopher Walken. You can't miss.

It's all about dangerous games in "The Joker's Wild, Man, Wild" and a brilliant, but deadly heist in "Which Way Did They Go?" William Windom is present in one of these season two episodes. This is not a drill!

Just a heads up: There is a brief discussion about sexual assault and there's a trigger warning beforehand.

Just about half-way through season 2 with episode 11, "Leopard on the Rock", and episode 12, "The Devil and Mr. Frog". Five-O has their hands full, first babysitting the uninvited, largely disliked leader of an unnamed country, and then tracking down a kidnapper in possession of the ransom money.

Two more Season 2 gems with "The Singapore File" and "All the King's Horses". Take a cruise with Marj Dusay and grow some flowers with James Gregory. There's also several hired killers. For flavor.

Episode 7 of Season 2, "Sweet Terror", features a fun terror plot headed by an eccentric villain. Episode 8, "King Kamehameha Blues", just straight up gives me the blues. There's ranting, raving, and Kono speculating about using a giraffe to commit a theft. Tune in.

Episode 16 features two more second season episodes. "Savage Sunday" calls Five-O in on their day off to take care of some Latin American revolutionaries and "A Bullet for McGarrett" features a seriously mesmerizing Eric Braeden. But then isn't he always?

Season 2 is just getting started. In episode 3, "Forty Feet High and It Kills!", Wo Fat is back, baby, and kidnapping...Grandpa Walton? And in episode 4, "Just Lucky, I Guess", Five-O is searching for a killer and a witness. Come for my excessive praise. Stay for my complaining.

Episode 14 sees season 2 of Hawaii Five-O kick off with a murderous life insurance scheme (though it's not deadly how you think)in "A Thousand Pardons--You're Dead!" and then continue with a man carrying out a plot twenty-eight years too late in "To Hell With Babe Ruth". Danno goes undercover and Steve learns about ninjas. That's certainly one way to kick off a new season.

It's the final episode of season 1, "The Big Kahuna" and a quick little season 1 wrap-up. The Governor would like you to stick around for the final tallies.
