Hour 1 was just another case of the week.
Thought hour 2 was decent after a few crappy episodes. Although last week's episode was Kono being lost at sea wasn't too bad.
and for a nuke that could potentially wipe out all of Honolulu, that thing looked pretty small.
Good to see Catherine back. Michelle Borth looked amazing 
Beautiful long hair and she looked really hot in that blue dress.
at the Danny subplot with his newly revealed Son having some kind disease that required his bone marrow.
and what the heck was the point of bringing Tia Carrere to the finale to just sing the wedding song? that was a waste.
and the producers must be pretty confidant they will get a 6th season ending it on a cliffhanger, especially with the wedding not going to completion.

I find it hard to believe agencies would still be using 50 year old civil defense issue geiger counters
was this the first mention of danny having a son or did I miss something in a previous episode?
edit: looks like I saw the wedding episode before the other episode from friday

Did anyone recognize Catherine Bach aka Daisy Duke as the wedding planner? She looked pretty good.
Thought it was nonsense casting someone 10 years younger than Grace Park and putting on old makeup on her. It looked pretty bad. But her real self on the other hand
I actually recognized her from Mistresses on ABC.

The make up to age Kono's mom looked horrible in this episode and the one where Kono got lost at sea. Not sure why they bothered to bring in Daisy Duke and Tia Carrera. Tia looks like she's aging naturally, but Catherine Bach looks like she's had work done. Her face barely moved when she spoke, so maybe it was just a lot of Botox. Glad to see Michelle Borth back. Hope she's back permanently for Season 6. I expected Adam to die before the wedding, but I guess we can assume it took place after Chin's encounter with Gabriel.

Renewed for a 6th season today.
Show can be stupid, but it's good Friday escapism fun.

That nuke explosion was so anti-climactic. 24 did it better.
Nuke goes off! Ok, let's get married.

In case anyone was wondering about Catherine's status for next season
http://tvline.com/2015/05/19/greys-a...lie-new-loves/
Sounds like she will be at least a recurring guest star. Which is good.

Question: I’m thrilled to see Michelle Borth back on Hawaii Five-0. Please tell me that she is staying. —Sandra
Ausiello: Borth is staying on as Catherine… at least for a little while, in part because next season will open with the “first dance” at Kono and Adam’s wedding. “We’ll miss the actual vows, but we’ll come in on them being introduced as husband and wife,” showrunner Peter M. Lenkov tells TVLine. As for Borth’s status, “We haven’t finalized how long she’ll stay, but she’ll definitely be in some episodes at the beginning of the season,” he shares. “We haven’t figured out exactly where to go, but we’re working on it.”

The moment a nuke entered the picture, I find it hard to believe that Five-O--the team that doesn't do much more than handle basic murders anymore--is left ALONE to take care of it. You'd think military, FBI and CIA would all be on it. In fact, they're so out of the picture that Steve and Danny are left to throw the nuke on a shrimp salesman's helicopter to save the day.
And--seriously--there were 24 minutes before the nuke went off and they made it out 50 miles on that thing?
And then they return, all shrug and go to a wedding.
I love this show.Did like seeing Catherine back. I thought she left to have a baby and wasn't going to return permanently...but looks like that may change based on that quote above.
