This is an interesting question and I really don't have answer except from what I've observed from the outside looking in (I don't watch the reboot).

But I will say this, if I could change one thing it would be to have the pilot hook me in more and to get the facts straight (no palm trees in North Korea peeps!). I'm not sure how to fix that first part except maybe not force things so much or better yet, give it more of a feel of Five-O and not like every other series on TV.

I went to the link and I liked what some of the folks said. I know the show was trying to do its own thing but I think they went so far away from the original (not a perfect show by any means) they became like every other show. It's like NCIS in Hawaii but not as good.
