A crossover episode without the main characters of the other series is not worth doing. The storyline is ready made for inclusion of Jerry Ortega working together with the (pathetic remake of the) Higgins character. It is also difficult to accept the familiarity of the two different character sets without any prior introduction. Attention to Katsumoto's relationship with McGarrett and the Five-Oh crew would have been very worthwhile - it is given one vague and weak line of dialogue from Katsumoto. Use of an overreaching CIA operating illegally on domestic soil is trite and overdone and begins to become grating - certainly creative folks can be more creative.
