Here are the promo pics for ep 4x09:

Ok I recorded this and watched it later, it was ok ep, funny that the guy was only after the girl , not the pres.
Carol Burnett I wonder how old she is, still acting, that is something.
Just something I noticed , that most wont.  am horrible remembering names but good with faces, so the old guy singing at the end in club who introduces carol,  is the actor who played "Rick" on Magnum PI  back in the 80's. I thought it was kool that this new  hawaii show had a actor from another hawaii based show in the 80's on. I often thought it would be kool  to have a episode with magnum PI, where as a old PI he works with 5-0 to solve a crime. Oddly this is possible, cause Tom works for CBS too, or his current show is on right after  five -0.
I still havent got around to ep 4x08 yet

Fongs name used twice. Did I miss his return??

Kono still looking for Adam now coming to US? They would bring him here? Would be nice to see rest of Yakuza being brought down. So then why is Adam still in hiding? He must have Intel into his brothers gang.

The Kennedy family played football when all got together. That could be one reason to get them all together. It was nice to see everyone playing. It was a nice family moment. Was surprised Grover was there.
The turkey problem seemed like no one knew what to do. Mary and her hair dryer was cute.

But the a rifle by the window and the chance of a Presidential Assassination did make me think of Kennedy.

"Nosy neighbor is cops best friend!" said Danno. Knew that either Andrea or Sheila Hicks were involved some how. Then when Hired Assassin Dante Barkov was chasing them with Steve and Danny in hot pursuit it was good that Chin Sniped him. He stood there confident and watching. Not sure what the Hicks were thinking running out on beach? Or Barkov not picking them off from tree line?? Especially as noted with 5-0 on his tail.

Carrol Burnett as Aunt Deb was good. Nice to make her on Dad's side instead of Doris so she wouldn't have to answer questions. But am surprised she didn't ask about Doris.
Do wish we would have gotten to know her better. Maybe she will be on more? Liked her with Catherine. Also her singing was nice touch. Thought iI'd hear, "I'm so glad we had this time together......" With her having a brain tumor and soon to die. Kind of showed that Steve and Mary were not close. But a lot of hugs now. Missed Mary's baby episode. Will have to watch on CBS.com.

Was also surprised Grover didn't question Steve trying to acid dip The Cleaner Raphael Moreno. Sure he and Steve got to see how the other one did stuff, and start to understand it, but really?
To bad to he wasn't with family.

Nice to see Danny back.
