Article name

The use of a zero instead of an oh in the name of this article may be a clever solution to the disambiguation issue, but it's too clever. -68.76.16.14 (talk) 17:20, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clever, it's the name of the show. see this press release. _Xeworlebi ^(talk) 17:27, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's incredibly not clever; in fact it's downright stupid, especially considering that the original show also officially used a zero, which was (and is) widely ignored (including, I might add, by wikipedia) since everyone pronounced it as an "Oh". And guess what, everyone is pronouncing the new series with an "Oh" as well, and wikipedia is supposed to employ common usage in titles. "Oh" well.... 70.131.159.96 (talk) 10:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But it is stll very confusing. At least please use that press release as a source and explain in the body about the subtle distiction of the name. W Nowicki (talk) 23:43, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No need to bother. The reboot is so bad that it will be canceled in short order, and quickly no longer meet WP's notability criteria, and just get folded back into the original series article. 70.131.159.96 (talk) 10:25, 31 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you actually compare the title screen to the font used in the title credits then you will see that it is clearly an O is used and not an 0.94.197.68.188 (talk) 20:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK - from the CBS site:-

The original series = Hawaii Five-O [1]

The new series = Hawaii Five-0 -[2]

I suppose that technically we should be calling the new one "Hawaii five-zero"

Chaosdruid (talk) 21:57, 9 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that it is a bit confusing to the uninformed (of which I would say I was one). That said, I don't know the wiki standard for changing a name that is correct yet is confusing with other names. JesseMSmith (talk) 03:51, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The standard for such things is to add a hatnote, which both articles have. _Xeworlebi ^(talk) 14:44, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why not change the articles name to Hawaii Five-0 (2010 series)?--Klltr (talk) 11:45, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By the looks of both series logos, i'm pretty sure they're both Hawaii 5-O (Not long ago, CH 10 aired the pilot of the show, it was titled Hawaii 5-O — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keycoke (talk • contribs) 11:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to CBS - see my previous comment :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 10:00, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There was never an on-screen explanation given for the name of the Five-O task force in the original series, but in the re-imagining the team clearly bases their name on McGarrett's high school football jersey number "50". This occurs at the end of episode 3. Therefore it makes sense for the new series to be Five-0 (which also avoids anyone calling the show "Hawaii Fifty" :P Jake fuersturm (talk) 23:35, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikia

I just started an Hawaii Five-0 wikia ,and i need help.208.54.45.68 (talk) 23:35, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Taryn Manning

Taryn Manning was billed as "also starring", so I'm gonna put her in the new info box. J52y (talk) 21:45, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She's not a regular, and doesn't belong with main cast in article or infobox. See the CBS site.

TV show production jargon?

I don't think most readers are going to know what a "showrunner" is. I also think most people will trip over "script" when it's used as a verb. I betcha there's a Wiki policy against specialist jargon, but I don't have time to hunt for it right now. (Heck, I can't even remember how to do italics in here.)68.89.149.2 (talk) 22:18, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kono or Kona?

I'm a little perplexed by Grace Park's character's name. Some places I see it as Kono, and others cheekily as Kona. I was about to correct it on one page, but then I see "...Chin's cousin, a rookie cop nicknamed Kono." on the main page. Was there an introduction or explanation of a nickname ever? Farglesword (talk) 08:19, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Main issue is that the original Kono from the 1968 series was a male. Changing the name would have been like changing the name from Boomer to Boomera. Jake fuersturm (talk) 23:37, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is this show really a 'procedural'?

Does this show really come under the category of 'procedural'? The show has just premiered here and in the hype, Alex O'L said that audiences were getting tired of procdurals. It seems they kill more people in the pilot episode (and beat suspects during interview time) than an entire season of the original. Maybe 'procedural' should be replaced with 'police action show'?Foofbun (talk) 22:21, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't mean the premise isn't about solving crimes. The body count is just a side-effect. The average episode of NCIS: Los Angeles probably kills just as many people, and I don't think anyone's disputed that they're a procedural either. Jake fuersturm (talk) 23:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is Kono a Detective?

The listing of cast members shows Kono to hold the title/rank of Detective. My understanding is that most local police forces in the U.S. require their officers to have at least several years of experience before being eligible for appointment as a Detective, and Kono is clearly a rookie. Is there an on-screen source that settles this? Jake fuersturm (talk) 00:17, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She is definitely not a detective, and that's been very clear from the beginning. Drmargi (talk) 00:51, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cool, thanks. I didn't want to remove that reference until it had been clarified. Jake fuersturm (talk) 01:23, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As Drmargi said, in the Honolulu Police Dept. a detective is an actual rank (they rank as/with sergeants) rather than an assignment like in most law enforcement agencies. I would imagine Kono would have to have at least 2 or 3 years service before she could be a detective. I believe the Honolulu Police rank structure goes like this: Officer, Corporal, Sergeant/Detective, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Assistant Chief, Deputy Chief, and Chief.24.46.236.67 (talk) 01:47, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
