Review of X-Over Event - Hawaii Five-0 & Magnum PI

OMG I loved it so much.

That’s it. That’s the whole review!

No, but seriously, both of these were super enjoyable to watch. I haven’t watched Hawaii Five-0 since like season 1 but this kinda made me want to (which is the point of crossovers I know, so success!) and the Magnum episode!!!

Can we just, like, appreciate the Miggy in this one? Like if I didn’t ship it so hard, I’d probably be (very annoyedly) throwing up rainbows from how many Magnum/Higgins moments there are and how freaking sweet and amazing they were! 

First, we get the opening scene which is just adorable!

And then the end? 

For a second I was all “oh no way, they’re gonna dance too?” but then TC is all “Wanna dance Higgy baby?” and it’s just even better than if she’d danced with Magnum because of the looks and the smiling. 

And this! the way he looks at her and...I’m just gonna re-watch that scene like 100 times.

I loved (in no particular order)

The phone call.

Magnum being all proud “she’s a ex-spy”.

All the Miggy arguments.

All the Miggy looks.

Rick asking Nyssa al Ghul out...I mean Quinn Liu (also, how is Katrina Law so freaking stunning, it’s not fair to the rest of the world). 

As illustrated above - the blanket opening scene, golden, and the end scene at La Mariana. Especially Higgins being all “I think you’re even more awesome than McGarrett“ and the looks there. They were amazing.

Higgins not being able to hack into something for once. Because she might be awesome but she’s not all-powerful (and she shouldn’t have to be.)

Gordon actually getting to be in the know! Yes with the trust!

Higgy being all shary and encouraging with the whole “I’d still would have done it all over with Richard” despite him dying, which I think shows she’s realizing even with the hurt there is a lot of good stuff and is moving on.

Miggy office romance talk at the end, also amazing.

The Ferrari’s tires being shot out!

McGarrett + Magnum team-up!

Spill the tea! (Higgins not knowing what this meant felt kind of silly but it was so adorable “because I’m British?” that I just have to put it on the good-list.)

Didn’t love

How Higgins and Quinn just stood around when they realized they were about to be shot when the SD-card was opened without doing anything. I feel Higgins with her spy training should have gone “our backup just checked the van he’s not there. give us the card back” for a distraction and Magnum could have done his kick-ass stuff. IDK, all of them should have done something more than just stand around and wait to be shot.

The Adam Noshimuri character being thrown in there. I get it made sense for Hawaii Five-o viewers but that kind of threw me a little, even with the intro in the beginning.

Felt like I missed something with the girls not actually getting McGarrett text that the CIA were coming at the start of the Magnum episode.

How they just got rid off the whole Five-o gang. Couldn’t they have done one or two scenes? I get that the mains there have fancy contracts and stuff but come on, but seriously? I’m feeling a little salty about it.

Overall I just enjoyed the heck out of both of these and I can’t wait to re-watch them!
