Tonight was the 200th episode of Hawaii Five 0 which would make its original show proud. This was different in taking a fanciful trip in nostalgia to an unsolved case. It was an opportunity to see the cast in change of pace roles. The episode was also a tribute to the famous real life, Hawaiian detective Chang Apana who inspired author Earl Derr Biggers to create Charlie Chan who (political correctness aside) was popular in books and especially in films. The show runners obviously have alot of reverence for old Five 0 lore and canon and this aspect was well done. They even insert a shot of Danny reading an early Biggers book The House Without a Key and show McGarrett studying a photo with Apana and Warner Oland who was the definitive Chan. The show runners did not have to include that, but film buffs love that detail! The show keeps churning out entertaining shows with a close knit cast, and it is not unrealistic to look forward to episode 250.
