I watched all three..... I found having "Charlie" the small town sheriff who had the hots for Gibbs be the driving instructor to be distracting..... there are no other older women actresses to portray a driving instructor? Or am I not expected to remember? but the major distraction was Norman Dell the gentleman in Hawaii who held the "brains" computers for the Simon people.... he was US Senator John Phillips for a Christmas Episode where he tries to get home and Jack and Nick get ambushed with the Senator and a really annoying comic. Why did the senator leave office? Become a bad guy.... no wait he is a different character....... I'm old I find that annoying.....
I haven't watched LA since the two part set up so I'm not invested in any of the characters..... made it hard to care......
Did enjoy Parker showing up everywhere and taking over offices and coffee cups..... only because I've worked in offices where those little stunts would find you locked in a toilet or elevator......
Over all.... meh...

OH NAS I've worked for places that had to ban all personalized mugs you could ONLY use the company branded ones to prevent the full scale war.....
IT was not a fun place to work, even though the head office folks would tell new hires it was......

boy, are we going wayyyy off subject or what, kaschu? 😅
I’ve had some jobs that were less than “fun” in my working days, but personalized coffee mugs were never one of the problems… the simple solution was our coffee mugs always stayed with us at our desk - they weren’t left in the coffee/break room for others to use… never recall people helping themselves to food left in the frig’ either - just lucky, I guess…
nope, it was the “back-stabbing”, psychos I had to deal with! but that’s a whole ‘nother subject…
and now, back to the original thread! sorry y’all…

Just finished with the third part. Honestly, when the title screen came up for Hawaii, the 5-0 theme started playing in my head. LA has also made changes to their title music since I last saw it and I don't know who several characters are.
In the DC/HI crossover at the start of the season, the professor in that episode was played by John Billingsley, who had played a blind photographer who had 'witnessed' a crime (S4E22). Useless bit of trivia: Robert Picardo (the professor from this crossover) and Billingsley both played Star Trek doctors on different series, with Billingsley being on Enterprise with Agent Pride, Scott Bakula.
Probably a reference to Office Space where he had a coffee cup in his hand every time he was on screen.
Another bit of useless trivia: Maya Stojan was in familiar territory with her role as she previously had been on Agents of SHIELD playing an agent who had been one of the good guys then got turned to work for the bad guys, though some advanced sci-fi 'brainwashing' was involved with that.
And probably just me, but when Callen was questioned about previously being CIA, did anyone else want him to respond with something like "I also worked with Batman before that."?
