Reboot Season 10 box set

[Mr. Mike]

The local library finally got season 10 of the H50 reboot, "the final season," after a long delay.

It looks to me like they were trying to cut costs with this set. There were 22 episodes (actually 23, see below), but only 5 DVDs. Typically these sets would only have 4 episodes per disc.

It says there are "special features" on every disc, including a crossover episode with the rebooted Magnum, PI series (the 23rd episode). They are probably referring to deleted scenes which are included.

For example, at the beginning of the last episode, which was probably heavily edited since it was rewritten because the show was cancelled without much notice, Junior and Tani are seen in bed together ... but they are wearing clothes! They already "did it" in a previous show...

On the back of the box, it says "FAREWELL TO THE FIVE-O" ... huh??

Maybe they were trying to tell themselves how important they were. The original series will always be "THE" Five-O.

The Season 10 DVD set of the reboot has "special features" other than the deleted scenes. The final (fifth) disc of the set has three mini-documentaries:

Gag Reel (4:00) - the usual mistakes of cast and crew with bad words bleeped out.

Shorelines: Aloha (23:57) - cast and crew reflect on this being the final season. Many of the cast express their thanks directly to the viewers. One exception to this is Scott Caan, who is seen, but only in relation to the episode where he found a girlfriend who was almost immediately killed when his car went off the road. Some of the sentiments by the other cast members are touching, I almost had feelings of sympathy, LOL!

Reflections on Five-O: An Inteview with Alex O'Loughlin (10:58) - the star of the show gets his own mini-feature where he can express thanks to people and reflect on the time he spent on the series.

Executive producer Lenkov appears in the "Aloha" segment, looking like he was having a very bad hair day (see pix below). I don't know whether this was filmed before or after he got the axe from CBS for creating a "toxic work environment."

I am told that another special feature shows Lenkov and his “boys club” sitting around, drinking beers, and making crass remarks about women. No doubt this is the highlight of this set!

Lame attempt at sarcasm, Ringfire...
