Chess Pieces, a Liver, and Chaos - Hawaii Five-0 is Back!

"Since your liver is in my body, you got no say in how I treat it." - Steve McGarrett

Season 7 Episode 1: Makaukau 'oe o Pa'ani?

Hawaii Five-0 Season 7 premiered last night with a bang, I mean the new story lines, surprise guest star, and of course it’s INTENSE action scenes. I’m beyond excited the writers finally brought someone from the original show, and what better someone than Jack Lord (the original Steve McGarrett himself)? I read a lot of comments speculating if that particular scene was a dream sequence or real. I personally think it was real. It was during the time McGarrett and Danny were in the hospital-small chapels are in hospitals, and in television no one is ever alone in hospital chapel.

Looks like we didn’t say bye to Gabriel Waincroft last season. His memory still carries on with Chin through Sara Diaz (Gabriel's daughter). I really hope this relationship between Chin and Sara grow. It would be awesome to see another child character in the mix of all the action, not to mention, she’s just adorable. Who else wants to be a part of the Kamekona Club? I absolutely love seeing the new business adventures Kamekona gets himself into each season. He lightens up the mood through all the chaos and inspires viewers to be entrepreneurs, by never giving up and constantly creating something new.

There’s no other way to start a season than with 14 dead bodies and a couple of serial killers. What a bang. Oh and how can I forget the ancient chess set? It’s obvious we aren’t going to find out who is behind the deaths until after all the chess pieces are found. The fact that a body was found in the 5-0 Headquarters, Grover’s car, AND a chess piece was left in McGarrett’s home shows that the killer is playing a game with the task force.

Okay, my favorite scene from tonight’s episode has got to be the wheelchair race between Steve and Danny. The chaos they create in the hospital is typical for both of them and I LOVE IT! The constant bantering about Danny giving Steve his liver is great. The writers definitely nail the best bromance, I think television has to offer. 

I cannot wait to see what unfolds the rest of the season.
