Aloha to H50 and NCIS:LA in crossover episode!

Tonight H5O's welcomes NCIS:LA to
Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam (JBPHH).    

Do these photos look familiar?  I posted 

similar pictures when the crew filmed these 

scenes on March 26 at this link.

Callen and Sam join Danno and Kono
in H5O's "ops center".

On Tuesday night, Danno and Chin visit LA.

I have no idea what is the plot ... but does it matter?  LL Cool J in my backyard is enough!   When you watch the episodes, look for the "tan houses with brown roofs" in the background.  That's my neighborhood!


Are you a fan of H50?  NCIS?  Crossover shows?  Guest stars?  Cliff hangers?  One randomly selected commenter wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, April 28, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll publish the winner on Sunday, April 29.
