We received three nominations for Let's Watch an Episode. Needless to say, the winner is too close to call with so few responses, so we'll watch one each week for the next three weeks, starting with the first to be nominated and ending with the most recent to be nominated. Here's the lineup:
Week of September 5-11 - - - "Over Fifty? Steal"
Week of September 12-18 - - - "And They Painted Daisies on His Coffin"
Week of September 19-25 - - - "The Flip Side is Death"
Some time during the work week, watch the week's episode. If you have questions or comments as you watch, post them here. Then, over the weekend, we'll discuss interesting, confusing, conflicting, etc. details about the episode -- or anything else you would like to add.
Have fun!
I never thought about that scene, but maybe you are right. Filer turned into a criminal due to serious personal circumstances and not because of greed. That came later (!Odd Man In").
Maybe this scene was scripted to show what can happen if life at 50 deals you a bad hand.
I made three notes while I watched "Over Fifty? Steal." I'll save two for later, but I'd like to ask whether anyone has wondered whether a certain scene was scripted or ad-libbed. That is the scene at Paradise Park where Filer picks up the duck and strokes it. If ad-libbed, it's adorable. If scripted, it surely must be an attempt to give Filer a likeable side. What do you think?
Excellent suggestions! I’m so excited to watch them all (and of course to watch the one I suggested!) Can’t wait to see everyone else’s take on it. It’s my absolute favorite Five-0 episode and I’ve seen it more times than I can count.
