Terry O’Quinn — my third-favorite thing about “Lost” after Michael Emerson and Evangeline Lilly’s body — is headed back to the islands where he filmed six seasons of “Lost,” joining the cast of “Hawaii Five-0” in a recurring role.
O’Quinn will play a Navy Seal Lt. Commander who trained Alex O’Loughlin’s McGarrett in Coronado, and served with his father in Vietnam. Described as strong, stubborn and a man you want in your corner when things go south, the character holds some of the answers to the mysteries surrounding the respective murders of McGarrett’s mother and father.

Of course, Daniel Dae Kim — Jin on “Lost” — is already a series regular on “Five-O,” which means that the CBS hit is slowly turning into the ABC phenomenon. Heck, Alex O’Loughlin is close enough to Jack Shephard. Grace Park can fill in for Yunjin Kim as the token hot Korean chick. Scott Caan can grow his hair out and eat whatever he wants: BOOM, he’s Hurley. Now all we need is a plane crash, some time travel, and millions of suckers who think the story will end in a satisfying way.
