Northwestern scores again. In the season finale tonight Hawaii Five-0 Task Force member Lou Grover brought up the fact that his daughter Samantha "just got accepted to Northwestern a few weeks ago." The statement was prefaced by a comment saying, "The timing is creepy" in reference to the case they were working on that involved the illegal transporting of girls of his own daughter's age. (Those watching it online or from having recorded it, the Northwestern promo comes approximately 15 minutes into the show.

In other finale cliff hanger news we are left puzzling over who will or will not show up for the next season. Danny Williams keeps talking about retiring and opening a restaurant, Steve McGarrett describes a radiation caused medical condition that sounds potentially fatal, and in the closing scene we see our beloved Kono on the plane headed to Carson City, Nevada (to take on the task of attacking child trafficking on a national scope) while the rest of the task force celebrate Jerry's promotion in her absence. Added to that there is an implication she is expecting.

Here is Lou sharing the news with Kono that his daughter Samantha just got accepted to Northwestern:

Below are scenes showing the flight plan used by the bad guys to initially transport the captive girls to Carson City, Nevada as well as Kono herself following in pursuit:

.... and the final scene of the finale as the camera closes in on Kono in an "eye shot" reminiscent of the series ending "eye shot" that concluded the also Hawaii filmed "LOST" TV series:

Not sure why the photo of Lou sharing the news with Kono not showing in the original post. Here again is Lou sharing the news with Kono that his daughter Samantha was admitted to Northwestern:

OK, I see the missing photos have magically reappeared. In related Hawaii Five-0 news, while on business in Honolulu earlier this week, I had occasion to stop by the Hawaii Film Studios where H50 has its sound stages just below Diamond Head. It was dead quiet due to the summer hiatus (crew starts returning June 17th) but the Pineapple Truck used to transport the underage girls in the final episode was evident front and center.

Although quiet on the Hawaii Five-0 set there in the shadows of Diamond Head, there was much filming activity on the slopes of Diamond Head itself. A Marvel TV series, The Inhumans, is in the making. Here are a few shots of same taken while on a Diamond Head hike: (Note the shooting crane with an umbrella over the cameraman's seat in the second photo.)

And a view looking down from the Diamond Head slope overlooking the Hawaii Film Studios location below. One can see from the film truck identifier that Buena Vista Studios of Burbank is involved with the Marvel TV project.

Interesting - a Goggle Search of "Northwestern Hawaii Five-0" brings up in the top five spots links to a Northwestern Band's renditions of the theme from the "hit 70s show Hawaii Five-O in a competition that was put on by CBS for $20,000 along with a YouTube link relating to the "Spirit of Northwestern." Well, OK, "Northwestern State," but still cool.

From those photos it looks like NW State marching band is larger then NUMB and likely is. Embarrassing.
