Season 6 kicks off with a unique kind of bang. It’s a compare and contrast episode between the original 1968 series and the 2010 reboot. In 1973, Season 6 kicked off with what would become the legendary episode “Hookman”. In 2013, the reboot remade this legendary episode, sticking remarkably close to the original while updating and tweaking it to fit their timeline and canon.
In both episodes, a double amputee with an agenda is sniping cops and it’s up to Five-O to find out who he is, what his motive is, and stop him.

Because I’m doing a full compare and contrast, I will be talking about the endings of both episodes. Mind the Spoiler Warnings from about 30:01 to about 34:18 and 50:15 to about 54:19.
Please enjoy this visual compare and contrast of our Hookmen and our heroes.
