ReplyDeleteThis is an inventive way to bring back an old character. I like it.
ReplyDeleteHuh. Well that's pretty interesting. Though I have no interest in checking out the original tbh.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has there thinking caps on,what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh! I adore Ed Asner!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be good. I've downloaded the original ep Ed was in. I've seen the promo and it mentioned that Jack Lord's McGarrett was deceived in this. So it'll be interest to see how Alex's McGarrett would play out.
ReplyDeleteIf anybody is wondering what episode number the original is it's 8x15
