ncis: los angeles

NCIS Los Angeles CBS series logo

OK, I have to admit that I don’t watch NCIS: Los Angeles.  It never took with me and though I watched it tonight for it’s third season finale, well, I wasn’t converted… yet.  I see from the last time I watched, that the cast has grown considerably and Christopher Lambert makes a very cool, smooth criminal.  Well, at least he did.

AND yes, after the Hawaii Five-0 cross-over, I watched it through to the end, though I have to admit, without giving much away, that seemed to be a bone-headed move by Callen!

But in one of the scenes, the team was reconstructing a series of images pulled from a bunch of online photos from the Santa Monica pier, and then put those images into a computer program and let the program do its magic of recreating a panoramic, 3D recreation of the scene on the pier.

Photosynth on NCIS Los Angeles season finaleThe huge screen behind the characters showed something that looked vaguely familiar.  I’ve seen it somewhere before, and sure enough… I had.  I dug around and found it!

I give you Photosynth, by Microsoft!  And that’s my cool observation for the day!  I haven’t played with it, but maybe now, you have a new toy to tinker with, if interested!

Grace Park in 'Hawaii Five-0' season 2

Ah, finally, Hawaii Five-0, starring Alex O’Loughlin has returned for it’s second season and the season premiere of Hawaii Five-0 had much along the entertainment value.  But it also had moments of EP.  That’s extreme predictability.  But I’m not sure that the EP was avoidable in the Hawaii Five-0 episode titled “Ha’i'ole.”

The season premiere of Hawaii Five-0, pulled in just under 12 million viewers.  It didn’t beat it’s competitor on ABC, Castle, but it beat everything else.  Being beat by Nathan Fillion in Castle is acceptable to this website!

Moderate to Serious H50 Spoilers Ahead

Alex O'Loughlin in 'Hawaii Five-0'

As we all know/recall, the Governor is dead.  Duplicitous in multiple layers of criminal behavior, the ilk of the criminal way caught up to her.  But then Steve McGarrett was implicated in her murder.

I thought it was going to be a far stretch of connected story lines to get McGarrett out of this predicament, but through a few leaps of story-line faith, it actually happened!
