Hawaii Five-0 Wiki: a lament

I have been spoiled by the Supernatural Wiki. I am so used to having a reliable resource for my fanfiction out there: episode summaries, episode transcripts articles on every single thing that comes up in the Show. It's huge, it's comprehensive, and it's always up-to-date. It's a huge amount of work, and the owners and maintainers are awesome.

Hawaii Five-0? Not so much. I've found two wikis, this one which is pretty bare bones, and this one which is a little better but doesn't look to have been updated since late December/early January and doesn't have much more than copy-pastes of the episode press releases.

So, fandom, am I missing something? Is there a wiki out there which actually has the episode summaries and transcripts and character details I'm looking for? Or am I SOL?

The insane part of me that doesn't realize that I have no time OR html skills is telling me to just make my own, but that would be crazy, right? Right.

I'm similarly spoiled. Every time I miss an episode of White Collar I go looking for an episode recap, and yeah, not so much. Very frustrating.

*snort* I remember tweeting this exact thing when I was first looking for some basic character information about Steve and Danny for my first fic. It's so aggravating, because I'm used to being able to find every single piece of information I could ever hope to need about Supernatural. But I could actually USE it for H50, since I'm not nearly as familiar with it and even get mixed up on some of the basics sometimes.

*le sigh*

Hee...my first response when I read this was - "but Wiki has a spoiler free policy..." :D

I indeed think we have been spoiled by such an amazing resource. It takes amazing dedication and commitment to maintain something like this. Which.. yeah... SPN fandom has.

So aggravating trying to find information about the eps. I've had to resort to IMDb for heaven's sake!The wiki's are a great idea but they need updating or something.

Also there is this this if you are looking ofr an updated list of weaponry, who it was used by and which episode each weapon was in. Very informative.

Ooh, thanks! Not what I need now, but you never know when it'll come in handy.

I have often wondered the same thing. I admit that I'm embarrassingly familiar with the minutia of H50 since I've watched all of the episodes more times than I care to admit, but sometimes I'm like, "Wait, what is Steve's address again?" and there is no one to help me. :(

I knoooowww... and now I'm working on a story that's very detail-oriented and there is NO RESOURCE out there. So I'm rewatching the episodes but I can't really take notes. And because the show is fairly formulaic I can't always remember which episode what Steve-Danny argument took place in the way I can with a show like SPN.

I think it's not what you're looking for, but there is also this: http://epguides.com/HawaiiFiveO_2010/.

I think that Superwiki is extraordinarily awesome, as far as these things go in fandom.
