Luigi’s Useless Information: Khan only counts as a minor character (sorry, but I made the rules, so I can do that). You should be up to 11 points now.
Episode 5.3: “You Don’t Have To Kill To Get Rich, But It Helps”
Directed by Alf Kjellin
What? I get Jack Lord and William Shatner? Together? Actually, the two legends only have one scene together (during the finale) in this episode involving blackmail. Shatner plays the hired-hand of a blackmailed businessman who attempts to find out who the brains behind the whole scheme are.
Luigi’s Useless Information: Shatner once again proves why is he’s The Shat in one scene: he gets to pick up two hot chicks! (21 points so far)
Episode 5.4: “Pig In A Blanket”
Directed by Marvin Chomsky
Poor Danno… if they’re not killing off his fiancée, they’re killing off his best friends, too. After winning a bowling match with Danno, HPD officer Chinough Olena (Frank Atienza) is gunned down by a hopped-up thug. This pushes Danno over the edge of sensibility, to which he accidentally shoots an unarmed teenager (way to go, Danno…you’ll be booking yourself if you keep this up!). John Rubinstein and Louise Latham guest star.
Luigi’s Useless Information: Wait, Danno bowls?
DISC TWO:
Episode 5.5: “The Jinn Who Clears The Way”
Directed by Harry Falk
WO FAT RETURNS! This time, the Red Chinese menace (played once again by Khigh Dhiegh) arranges the theft of a top secret U.S. missile guidance device, murders Chin’s cousin, and convinces Chin’s other cousin (Soon-Tek Oh, in one of several different Five-O appearances) to do his bidding.
Luigi’s Useless Information: Joseph Sirola returns as Jonathan Kaye for one last time — Bill Edwards would be the next actor to take the part (starting with the next episode) and would appear irregularly throughout the series over the next five seasons.
Episode 5.6: “Fools Die Twice”
Directed by Michael O’Herlihy
