Where in the World is Bob Saget?

If you really wish to turn to fiction to learn the history of Hawaii, I'd suggest starting with James A. Michener.

The book is called "Hawaii", and like most of his historical fiction, is extremely well researched.

Less than 1%. Really tells the whole story....

It's not supposed to. It's supposed to tell a little-known story.

Regardless, either watch it...or don't. I'm not going to continue arguing with you on a thread meant for nonsense.

(I am not sure how many people are gonna get this)....

I'd probably be a in car wreck almost daily on my long early am commute without that insanity.

Oh my Saget... that was the worst lip syncing I've ever seen. The song makes me want to go get a couple of my friends and ask my mom for a ride to the beach, though.

I had the privilege of watching that on Fantasy Funnel Vision with an 8 year old who thinks it is one of the coolest movies ever!

<sigh>

She obviously has not seen High School Musical!

Here it is a balmy 32 degrees. I should have walked over to the beach and caught some sun rays.

gorgeous 75F here.

LOL, you liked the original? I wasn't wild about it, though I have seen it.

Still, this particular episode is worth a watch. It had my mom and I crying at the end

crying in the fun way or crying in the sad way?

It might have been deleted by a Mod. It doesn't look like there's even a post there anymore

Heh, reminds me of some other forums that get so wild.. it is usual to screenshot the entire thing to show the mods when poo hits the fan.

Last PJ party I had was the night before my wedding.
Not so fun when one of my bridesmaids had to rush my maid of honour to Emerg. at 5:00 a.m.
They released her two hours before the (out of town) wedding, with barely enough time for hair and makeup.
Forget photos.
She spent the whole ceremony, high on demerol, clutching onto the nearest person. Usually me.

So, long story short - darn, I was looking forward to a good PJ party.

woah.. sounds serious..

also why the sudden interest in Hawaii? is some sort of special day?

I can top that. I tore my plantar fascia about an hour before the rehearsal dinner for my daughter's wedding and had to be wheeled down the aisle in a wheelchair.

December 7 was the 72 anniversary of the Pearl Harbor bombing. My guess is that is why they chose now to show that particular Hawaii Five-0 episode

I certainly wouldn't look to the writers of a reboot television show of a TV show that was third rate at best in the first place for "historical accuracy".

Look, history should also include context. Anything that paints too broad a brush stroke with emotional appeal, isn't looking at the entire context.

Any good fiction, if they are not just trying for mass appeal, should take this into account. They should build sympathy into the victims as well as the aggressors. This makes you think, not just emote.

Emotion, in and of itself, is worthless. Emotion with logic, is magical. And, what is dangerous, once emotion replaces facts, and creates motivation...that's a very dangerous thing.

You can enjoy emotion, sure...but recognize it for what it is. Mostly false.

Returning to nonsense - I attended my Christmas party today. For the first time in many years, we did not start the meal with lobster thermidor. Seriously, that was my favourite part. And, just to switch things up, we had lamb as the main entree, instead of veal.

Thank you, I will look into it. What's the plot about?

It was brought up with a 3rd rate TV show.

Oh she had. She's just 8 now, and this was the latest!

Yeah, but did it follow upon the heels (see what I did there?) of a PJ party?

Not the part about the historical accuracy, but third rate????

Um...yes. Hawaii 5-O (and it's reboot) aren't exactly cinema masterpieces. They are pulp fiction.
