Heads up, folks — between the press release for “Hoa Pili” and the extended promo video beneath it, it’s safe to say there be SPOILERS here!

With dead bodies turning up in shark cages and random body parts turning up in dead sharks, it seems Danny has reason to be rationally concerned about becoming man-sushi — something Steve hasn’t forgotten about after his run-in with a tiger shark on their fishing trip gone awry (episode 3.03, “Lana I Ka Moana”).
“Hoa Pili” also features the much-anticipated return of everyone’s favorite Kapu kahuna, Kawika (Kala Alexander), last seen in Season 2 on the receiving end of HPD Chief of Detectives Vince Fryer’s (Tom Sizemore) “arrest ‘em now, ask questions later” approach to investigating the case du jour.
As for the epic game of tag between the freight containers — we’ll have to wait ’til Monday to figure that one out; whatever’s going on, Five-0 looks to be in fine butt-kickin’ form!

When Dog meets Smooth Dog (Photos courtesy of CBS and A&E.)
It’s a meeting of two of Hawaii’s most iconic television badasses this coming Monday on Hawaii Five-0. “First time you beat us to a crime scene. What’s up, Dog?” says a smiling Steve “Smooth Dog” McGarrett. “Hey, Steve McGarrett! How ya doin’? Wondered when we’d run into Five-0,” replies Duane “Dog” Chapman as they shake hands. Though this meeting of alpha dogs is part of a relatively short and straightforward scene, it is also a very organic way of bringing the world of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” together with that of Five-0.
While there will undoubtedly be strong opinions about the inclusion of bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman and his team in the opening scenes of “Na Ki’i,” there’s no denying the brand recognition and worldwide appeal of his often Hawaii-based namesake reality show. “Dog the Bounty Hunter” ran for eight seasons on A&E and airs in multiple international markets in addition to repeat airings weekday mornings on A&E.
Yahoo!TV got first dibs on the “Dog” promos for “Na Ki’i,” with correspondent Maya Salam writing the accompanying article.
Exclusive First Look: Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman and Wife Guest Star on ‘Hawaii Five-0′ [Video] Yahoo! TV
By Maya Salam | Yahoo! TV – Wed, Mar 13, 2013 12:16 PM PDT
No, you’re not watching a particularly exciting snippet from the defunct A&E series “Dog the Bounty Hunter,” but it’s understandable that you might be confused. This scene with Duane “Dog” Chapman running down a bad guy is very similar to the real-life escapades that Duane “Dog” Chapman regularly chronicled on the reality show. Instead, this exclusive clip is from the upcoming episode of “Hawaii Five-0,” in which Dog guest-stars along with his real-life wife and assistant, Beth Chapman. And what a perfect fit! Dog is a resident of the Hawaii Kai, a neighborhood in Honolulu.

In the above exclusive sneak peek, Dog — who portrays himself in the CBS police procedural — is running down a very able-bodied man who appears to dabble in parkour. But even this guy can’t get away when Dog is on the hunt. They race down a flight of stairs and jump over the railing. Just as it looks as though the criminal is going to get away, Dog calls in his crew — with Beth at the wheel of their SUV, of course. They run him down, cut him off, and corner him in an alley. Dog tackles the wrongdoer into a parked car, yelling (in true Dog form), “Where do you think you’re going, brother?”
Then they all get caught off guard when a woman’s body falls from above — probably from a window — and crashes into the very car that the criminal is pinned against.
In this second exclusive clip from the upcoming episode, the Five-0 has arrived on the scene, and the bad guy (named Russell) that the team originally tracked down is being cuffed. Dog hands him off, along with his warrant, to officials. The woman’s body is the real case for the Five-0, though. “First time you beat us to a crime scene,” Lt. Cmdr. Steve McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) says to Dog. They agree that it’s about time they ran into each other on the island. Dog gives the lieutenant the scoop on three-striker Russell and then passes off the crime scene to the Five-0.
To see Dog and Beth’s guest spot, tune in to “Hawaii Five-0″ on Monday, 3/18 at 10 PM on CBS.
Want even more Dog and Beth? Tune in to CMT for their all-new, 11-episode series “Dog and Beth: On the Hunt” premiering Sunday, 4/21 at 8 PM.

Heads up, gentle reader — with a pair of promos and the CBS press release, this post should be considered spoiler central! Read on at your own risk.

Between the teaser with Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman doing what he and his family do best — apprehending a bond-jumping ne’er-do-well — and the arresting image of Lt. Catherine Rollins (Michelle Borth) tearing it up on the roller derby rink, Hawaii Five-0′s “Na Ki’i (Dolls)” promises to be a novel and memorable experience.
While there will undoubtedly be strong opinions on the inclusion of Duane “Dog” Chapman and his team, “Dog the Bounty Hunter” has become something of a Hawaiian television icon. Showing the Hawaii Kai-based Chapmans doing what they do best — chasing down and nabbing a bail-jumping desperado — before Five-0′s case comes crashing down on top of them gives the show an additional real-world anchor of sorts. Besides, you can’t help but grin a bit at the thought of “Smooth Dog” McGarrett crossing paths with “Dog” Chapman.
From the look of the promos, Cath Rollins (Michelle Borth) is going above and beyond the call of duty for Five-0 and her kinda-sorta boyfriend. Steve better be breakin’ out the tux and the five-star restaurant reservations after this one!
Christine Lahti’s back as our resident Mysterious Woman of Mystery, Doris McGarrett! Regardless of what else is going on, she’s sure to leave her son looking slightly poleaxed as he tries to figure out what she’s up to.

CBS is treating us to another bonus episode with tonight’s repeat of “I Ka Wa Mamua (In a Time Past),” and even a second time around, it’s an edge-of-your-seat roller-coaster ride. If you’ve not seen the episode yet, be warned — SPOILERS!!
In “I Ka Wa Mamua,” we learn, along with Steve, about one of the worst — and best — days in Danny’s life. We learn a lot about why Danny is the way he is, why he’s so wary of Steve’s affinity for high-risk situations, and we learn who Grace was named after.
Here’s how CBS describes the episode in their press release:
WHEN DANNY IS FORCED TO REMAIN COMPLETELY STILL WHILE BOMB TECHNICIANS DISARM A BOMB, HE TELLS McGARRETT THE STORY ABOUT HIS TOUGHEST AND MOST EMOTIONAL CASE FROM HIS DAYS IN NEW JERSEY, ON A REBROADCAST OF “HAWAII FIVE-0,” ON A SPECIAL NIGHT AND TIME, FRIDAY, MARCH 15
Sydney Tamiia Poitier (“Private Practice”), Terrence Howard (“Crash”), Rapper T.I. and Reality Star Kendall Jenner Guest Star in This Episode
“I Ka Wa Mamua*” – When Danny is forced to remain completely still while bomb technicians disarm a bomb that he has accidentally activated, McGarrett distracts him by getting his partner to tell the story about his toughest and most emotional case from his days as a cop in New Jersey, on a rebroadcast of HAWAII FIVE-0, on a special night and time, Friday, March 15 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Sydney Tamiia Poitier (“Private Practice”), Terrence Howard (“Crash”), rapper T.I. and reality star Kendall Jenner guest star in this episode. (Originally broadcast 11/12/12.)

The month-long new episode drought ends this coming Monday with “Na Ki’i (Dolls),” and we’ve got a new promo to enjoy!
Seems someone’s taken to killing roller derby players and it’s up to Five-0 to catch the killer before the wheels go out from under anyone else.
If the prospect of Lt. Catherine Rollins (Michelle Borth) going undercover for Five-0 as a roller derby jammer doesn’t pique your interest, we also have a new crossover of sorts — Five-0 crosses paths with Hawaii’s other iconic modern-day crimefighting team, the Chapmans of A&E’s “Dog the Bounty Hunter.”
Will Cath lead her team to victory on the rink? Will Dog get his man? Will Danny blow a gasket? Will Steve hold the reins on this unlikely dog-team and solve the case? Tune in Monday to see!

From the look of a new Hawaii Five-0 spoiler posted March 5th by TVLine’s Michael Ausiello, it seems things are about to get dicey for our favorite New Jersey transplant.
Based on where production is at this point — due to start work on episode 3.21, “Imi loko ka ‘uhane,” this Thursday — Ausiello’s spoiler most likely applies to one of the four season-ending episodes. Sounds like it’s going to be a rough and emotional ride for Five-0.
Question: Anything on Hawaii Five-0? Particularly Danny-related, if you don’t mind. –Sarah
Ausiello: Done, and done: Later this season, when Five-0 hunts an abductor of little girls, Danny-the-dad, as you can imagine, gets especially aggressive — to the point that he even must hand over his badge to Steve.
Steve and Danny discuss the finer points of surfing etiquette in “Kalele” (Screencap courtesy of CBS and Mycoven.com)
This weekend we get a bonus episode of Hawaii Five-0 when CBS airs Season 2′s “Kalele (Faith)” tomorrow night at 8:00pm ET. Fans remember this episode for the melding of Five-0 past and present, with iconic actor Ed Asner reprising his original series role of ruthless smuggler August March. Last seen in 1975′s “Wooden Model of a Rat,” March is not long out of a thirty-plus year prison term when present-day Five-0 calls on his diamond-smuggling expertise to help with a high-stakes case. Footage from the original episode fit perfectly well in Kalele.
We’re also treated to a “boardgument” as Steve and Danny bicker about surfing etiquette as they walk up out of the water onto Waikiki’s Queen’s Beach, where Steve’s sister Mary Ann (Taryn Manning) — all kitted out in her new flight attendant uniform — gleefully hugs the stuffing out of them both.
Of course, it doesn’t take hapless Mary Ann long to run afoul of Tony (Candyman) Todd’s menacing conflict diamond smuggler Jordan Nevins, who ropes her into his scheme when he claims to have kidnapped her friend Angela. Five-0 saves Mary Ann’s bacon and she joins the team for Steve’s surprise birthday party, complete with grenade-shaped cake.
“Kalele” saves the best for last, with Asner’s August March showing his true colors in a scene once again combining footage and dialogue from the 1975 episode with the current one. Turns out this grandfatherly old man is more grizzly than teddy bear, which ill-fated Angela learns far too late.

Remington Taum, Copy Editor for UH Kapiolani’s Kapi’o News, had the opportunity to sit down with Hawaii Five-0′s Alex O’Loughlin in December and conduct what promises to be a truly memorable interview. The Q&A-based interview excerpted on the Kapi’o News website will be published in its entirety in the upcoming Spring issue of the Kapi’o Magazine.
‘Hawaii Five-0′s O’Loughlin: I get to do fun ‘boy stuff’ and play with guns

With its third season more than halfway in, “Hawaii Five-0″ could not be any hotter. CBS even reached out to fans of the show, allowing its viewers to pick the ending of an episode.
In December, I sat down with “Hawaiʻi Five-0″ star Alex O’Loughlin during his lunch break for a casual Q&A interview. After getting some food, we got comfortable inside and started chatting about his career, what’s next for the CBS drama and some quirky favorites of his that some of his fans may not know.
This guy is a character, and was welcoming to questions about how he got started in acting and the Hawai’i-based TV show.
RT: How is this season different from the last two? From your experience.
AO: I actually really like this season. It feels like a lot of things have smoothed out. I’ve relaxed a bit and I’m not taking risks. I’m not doing stunts like I used to. I just can sit back, do my work and be with my family. So actually, for me it’s fantastic. I feel like I’ve got a bit of job security now. Like (during) the first two years, (it was like) the rug could be pulled any minute.
RT: What would you say is the most rewarding part of your job?
AO: Well, I have a really great job. I have a lot of fun. I get to tell stories, which is what I love to do most, I get to work with a great group of guys, and I get to do fun “boy stuff” and play with guns. The most rewarding thing about my job, though, is being able to reach people in a way that’s outside of the industry. If I do a bunch of work and become a person of public interest on some level then I can hopefully use that to generate care in other areas that might be based in community service or philanthropy.
I think that’s the most important part of my job as an actor. It’s a way I get to give back.

ZAP2it’s Carina MacKenzie gave us the name to go with the face in behind-the-scenes set photos posted by Exec. Producer Peter Lenkov. MacKenzie revealed that Smallville’s Aquaman, Alan Ritchson, will play the SEAL-era best friend of HAWAII FIVE-0′s resident “Aquaman” Steve McGarrett in the much-anticipated SEAL flashback episode “Olelo Pa’a” (S03E20). Behind-the-scenes photos released Thursday by Lenkov and by the 15th Wingat Joint Base Pearl Harbor/Hickam showed Ritchson and Alex O’Loughlin together on location in the cargo hold of a C17 Globemaster III in appropriate SEAL gear.
In addition to being helmed by veteran Hollywood director Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling, Innerspace, The ‘Burbs, and H50′s S2 episode “Ka Iwi Kapu”), “Olelo Pa’a” will also see the return of Terry O’Quinn as McGarrett’s former Commanding Officer, Lt. Commander Joe White, and White’s Vietnam veteran Huey pilot turned barkeep, Joe Bama (Jimmy Buffett).

“Blue Mountain State” star Alan Ritchson spent some time in Hawaii last year, filming scenes for “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” — and now he’s returning to the Aloha State for some time with Danny and McGarrett.
Ritchson has nabbed a guest-starring role on CBS’ “Hawaii Five-0,” and Zap2it has your exclusive details. He plays Freddie, described as a sweet guy who is built like a fullback. Freddie is a Navy SEAL — and he was McGarrett’s best buddy during his years in the military.
We’ll see them in flashbacks to their time training, when they supported each other through some extremely difficult conditions, and later, in battle together, when they had to make some painful choices together.
Ritchson is best known for his work as Thad Castle on “Blue Mountain State” and as “Smallville’s” Aquaman. He’ll appear this fall in “Catching Fire” as Gloss, one of the career tributes in the Quarter Quell Hunger Games.
