Vashon: The Father--My favorite episode.
21 August 2013
Warning: Spoilers
The four part Vashon series are some of my favorite Hawaii Five episodes. Of this four part series, Vashon, the Father, is my favorite. After Christopher Vashon is killed by McGarrett during an armed robbery attempt, the father and grandfather seek revenge.

A contract killer is hired to kill McGarrett. He almost succeeds. It is stated in the goofs section that this hit man didn't use the charging handle on the AR-15 or M16 rifle to chamber a round. I watched the episode and he did. After this hit-man got rid of the police women, he immediately went to his rifle and fired it (no silencer?). I would have waited for a few minutes to make sure she was gone.

In the 3d Vashon episode, when Harvey Matheson Drew stated at McGarrett's trial that he wasn't sure that the gunshots may have been backfires, the defense should have objected stating that Drew was not an expert in that area. To me, a weakness in this story.
