The guys making this new show have a real serious problem to overcome -- the fact that they only have 42 minutes (including beginning and end titles) to play around with, unlike the old days, where Five-O was usually over 50 minutes, and sometimes even over 51.
If you ever saw any of the Five-O Family Channel episodes, you will know what I am talking about. Most of those shows were severely edited so in many cases, the plot didn't even make sense. (Click here if you want more specific details.)
I recently was watching the Alex O'Loughlin episode of Criminal Minds, where he plays this twitchy killer who has OCD. You think that there are a lot of "brainstorms" on Five-O; they are nothing compared to Criminal Minds (at least based on this show), which had a slam-bam-thank-you-ma'am kind of plot development.
Alas, this is all too typical of TV shows today...
