In an updated remake of the 1968 original series, Detective Steve McGarrett returns home to Oahu to investigate his father's murder and Hawaii's governor convinces him to stay and head up a new team with no rules and no red tape. Detective Danny "Danno" Williams joins the team in order to keep the island safe for his 8-year old daughter. Also joining the team is Chin Ho Kelly who was wrongfully accused of corruption and Chin's cousin Kono who is fresh out of the academy. While running the team, McGarrett also tries to repair his relationship with his estranged sister Mary Ann and continues to look for closure on his father's case.Hawaii Five-0 Season 3 kicked off with the Chin-Ho, Kono and Malia-based cliffhanger we have been biting our nails over all summer. While my guess from the season finale of how Kono could be saved was really close (Adam saved her after Chin-Ho called him), my hope that Malia opening her eyes meant that she would survive didn't fair as well.

Can we hope that Chin-Ho won’t go down a horribly dark path over Malia’s death because he was able to catch Frank Delano and shoot him in the face with a shotgun? I’m worried that we are going to have to deal with “Evil Chin-Ho” now for several episodes, which would drag down the overall feel of the show.

The premiere also gave us a complete answer to the questions that were asked most often during the show's sophomore season. To wit: What is Shelburne? It was Doris McGarrett’s code name when she was a spy before Steve was born.

It was even better to receive the answer directly from Doris McGarrett herself as she explained why she disappeared for 20 years to Steve. I’m not surprised that Steve had some anger about his mom faking her own death. I was very glad that he got past it, though, towards the end of the episode when he called her “mom” instead of “Doris.”

In addition to Christine Lahti coming on board as Mrs. McGarrett, Michelle Borth returned as Catherine Rawlins. She's now a series regular. While they didn’t explain why she is suddenly island-bound in the Navy, I enjoyed watching her and Doris together too much to really complain about it.

Speaking of Doris and Catherine, I’m very curious why Doris didn’t shoot Wo Fat and, more importantly, why Wo Fat spent years trying to find her and didn’t even raise his pistol. I’m sensing that any relief I have over finding out who Shelburne was is going to quickly be replaced with questions about Wo Fat and Doris’ interaction and relationship.

Before this episode aired, I watched the previews and interviews that came before it and in all of them, everyone said that the premiere was going to pick up right where we left off last season. Turns out they weren’t kidding. This one starts with Chin being forced to choose between his cousin and his wife and Steve seeing the mother than he thought had been for twenty years.

After that, it was another roller coaster ride that I’ve come to expect from this show. Steve’s story started out as a reunion but brought the action pretty fast. Turns out that sort of thing happens when your mom is an ex-spy who has been living under the cover identity of “Shelburne.”

I felt for both of them as they struggled to figure out how to become mother and son again. I didn’t blame Steve for being pissed that she left him and basically caused his father’s murder, but nor could I blame Doris for doing what she needed to do to protect her family. If Steve had stopped to think about it, I’m sure he would’ve realized it’s exactly what he would have done as well.

As for Chin’s story, I pretty much knew that Malia was going to die so that part wasn’t a shocker. What this will mean for his character and what that emotional damage has already caused him to do; that’s the part that was hard to take. He’s tried so hard to prove that he’s not a dirty cop and yet things keep happening that force his hand that way.

First the team has to steal money to save his life and now he’s killed an unarmed man. I’m not saying what he did was necessarily wrong, but I still know that it’s going to mess with him.

It would be unfair to compare this latest incarnation of Hawaii 5 O to the original as this is, apparently, a "re imagining " of the sixties classic. Presumably that means that, locations and characters notwithstanding, this show is trying to be something the original was not. I agree with that, because, while the Jack Lord classic was never less than entertaining, this show is anything but. For example, the plots are repetitive and the dialogue is laughably bad.
