Hawaii Five-0, 2.01 —episode reaction
Trying the episode reaction thing I usually do with SPN. Those of you who aren't familiar with this, it's just me commenting on the episode as it happens. There is a lot of squee, a lot of flailing, and not much by way of insightful thinking. ;)
I do love these pretty aerial shots of Hawaii at the start of every episode.
Dude, who's that black guy at the Governor's funeral? I don't remember him. Is he important?
Yay Chin!
Ooh, Kono's out on her surfboard! Is she on parole or was her name cleared?
JENNA IS STILL HERE YAAAAAAY!
DUDE. That's Locke from Lost! Obviously he knows Danno, who is also still in Hawaii. Totally happy-making.
Ooh. Intense staring between Chin and Wo Fat. DOOM. I am laughing at the very obvious music change from the angelic little boys to this very tense whatever-it-is.
And Steve being badass and doing pushups in jail. I approve.
Aw, Steve is all unshaven.
STEVE'S FACE SMILING AT DANNY BECAUSE HE'S NOT WEARING A TIE!
Aw. Danny doesn't have a job anymore. :(
Seriously, is Danno's handwave the only time Rachel is going to get mentioned this episode? I hope not.
I guess this guy was Steve's CO.
Yay! The Navy has Steve's back. \o/
HOLY SHIT CHIN IS SO BADASS CHRIST I THINK AT LEAST ONE OF MY OVARIES JUST IMPLODED RIGHT THERE. UNF, CHIN.
Also, Chin is HOT in uniform.
HOLY CRAP CHIN TOTALLY LIFTED A WALLET TOO! THERE WENT THE OTHER OVARY.
CHIN BE MINE FOREVER! ♥
Woah. They're leaving nothing to chance. Not even five minutes in and Victor Hesse is trying to kill Steve with a prison shiv. Oh, Victor, you MORON.
OH GOD STEVE DIDN'T WIN HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN?
Also, H50 I LOVE YOU FOR GIVING US THE H/C SCENARIO EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE H/C PART OF FANDOM SECRETLY HOPED FOR! DANNO HAD BETTER BE FRETTING AT STEVE'S BEDSIDE AFTER THIS!
Okay, John Locke is now Joe White. Duly noted.
Aw, Danno is being all bitchy. With the HANDS.
See? Chin totally joined HPD so he could help Steve! Chin is rocking the crime scene evidence.
Ah, I am pleased to see that they at least thought about the cameras, the stun gun and the rest of the inconsistencies fandom noticed over hiatus.
"I'll try not to hold that against her." Hee! I like this guy.
"He trained Steve."
"So it's his fault."
LOL
Oh, Kono's still suspended. :(
Whoa, WHAT? Hesse wasn't trying to kill Steve? ESCAPE? WHAT?
WHY IS HESSE HELPING STEVE?
Ah, loose ends. Makes sense.
OH STEVE, HOW SO BADASS?
SHOW, I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING A HOSPITAL SCENE BUT I FORGIVE YOU.
I love how all of H50 are all "We totally need to help Steve," rather than "We need to find Steve and prevent him from doing something stupid."
"You guys are my backup." "Definitely been hanging with McGarrett too long." Hee! Oh, Kono.
Yeah, Steve, running around with a STAB WOUND is guaranteed to make you hurt, you ASS.
OH MY GOD I CAN'T WATCH THIS!
*hides behind hands*
CHRIST.
NO, Steve! Just because the guy has a gun, is not a reason to try to get it! I see that gleam in your eye.
Ah, he's not stupid, but unfortunately neither is the cop. Unfortunately for the cop, that is.
OH! Clever Steve. Until the cop wakes up and declares a security breach.
I love Jenna SO HARD. I really want her to stay. PLEASE let her stay!
"Patience was never his strong suit." Hee! Steve.
Hoyay it's MAX! I love how his first instinct is to grab his umbrella.
ARGH! 911 picks up on the first ring! /nitpick
And yeah, Steve, how long did you think you could last while bleeding out, you stupid, stupid goof?
Aww, Max. ♥
Max doesn't watch the news because it's scary! Aww. :)
I love how he volunteers his roommate's clothing.
YAY DANNO RANTING AT STEVE!
LOL, Kermit. \o/
YAY CHIN SHUSHING DANNY.
And more Danno ranting at Steve. :)
Oh, dear, I am worried about what kind of car Max has.
Oh, not so bad. Poor Steve, all scrunched up in the back.
I love how Danny always ends up talking on the phone to Grace or Rachel or Steve or whoever whenever he's in the car in the middle of a case. ♥
STEVE'S FACE!
"I am happy on the inside."
Oh. Rachel's going back to Stan and the baby is his. Well, it's not the worst thing that could happen.
Aw, Steve is giving him a "look."
*dies*
MAX IS DRIVING THE CAMARO AND BLASTING THE MUSIC! AND ENJOYING IT.
Kono, that camera is NOT discreet.
Ooh, a mysterious haole. I kept expecting her to get caught.
I LOVE HOW MANY STAR TREK REFERENCES ARE ON MAX'S CAR.
Steve is really walking off that stab wound... where is the fic?
Hideko Modoko, eh? Okay, let's find out what he has to say...
They are packing a LOT into this one episode.
Steve has John's eyes, but not much else.
Oh! That's how John began his investigation into corruption! Nice. Also, props to the writers for giving us the back story in a neat way. The actual conversation takes place in the background, but we get the "short version" from Joe. Interesting format, and leaves out the extraneous questions Steve is bound to be asking.
What is it with the bad guys all having German names?
Ah, there it is. TOLD YOU that you weren't being discreet, Kono!
Crap.
Alas, Wo Fat apparently read the Evil Overlord List and is NOT going to tell her his Evil Master Plan while dangling her over a shark tank (the shark tank is more McGarrett's style anyway).
Jenna and Kamekona! That's really adorable with the unsubtle winking and Kamekona gouging everyone for money. Hee!
Locker with hidden evidence! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, it seems.
HOW DID THEY GET A HELICOPTER WHEN THEY HAVE NO MONEY?!?
Danny, you were investigating the murder. How do you not know what John McGarrett looks like?
Oh! John made a recording. This is going to make me cry, isn't it?
No, I guess not. But hey, a hidden camera! Let's pretend this isn't a deus-ex-machina, shall we? Okay, then.
Hee! Chin and Danny arguing about who gets the top bunk when they share a cell with McGarrett. Why would you WANT the top bunk when you're not eight years old, is what I want to know.
WHY would you put a camera in a clock that could easily be moved away?
*dies*
Oh, Danno, how much do I love you? You go ahead and take out your frustrations on that clock, baby.
Hey, the governor is pretty sanguine about two people dressed in civvies ransacking his office.
LOL A shrimp truck, Kamekona?
SEE, STEVE? YOU PUT TOGETHER A GREAT TEAM, YOU NEED TO TRUST THEM!
Also, is no one going to rescue Kono? Or can we at least watch her rescue herself, please?
Aw, Steve is going all emo over his daddy. ♥
Dude, Steve's father called every week to check in? I don't know many officers who'd put up with that shit.
LOL, Kamekona, I think the sirens tipped them off already.
Steve's totally going to do the right thing isn't he?
Aww, STEVE!!! ♥__♥
YAY! THE GOVERNOR IS TOTALLY GOING TO REINSTATE FIVE-0!
And thank goodness this governor isn't giving them the "full immunity and means."
Okay, three out of four members isn't bad. Poor Kono, I'm glad SOMEONE remembered she was supposed to check in.
YAY KONO SAVING HERSELF!
KONO TOTALLY GIVES THEM THE INFO THAT SAVES THE DAY!
How did Kono get there at the same time as Five-0? MAGIC! Don't question it, self, you'll only hurt your brain.
This guy has terrible taste in clothing.
I do hope Joe isn't going to be a regular fixture, much as I like him.
Steve has on his "don't fuck with me" face. I like the look on him.
"Danny, you ready?" "No!" "Good, come on!"
Oh, H50, how I've missed you!
Wow. Steve totally walked off that stab wound.
CHIN + SHOTGUN = LOVE If my ovaries hadn't already imploded, they would be doing so now.
And unsurprisingly, Wo Fat is gone.
"Book 'im, Danno!"
\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥\o/♥
Yay!
Ooh, an interrogation room scene! Man, they're giving us EVERYTHING this episode.
Hee! I don't think I will ever get tired of watching Danny flail at Steve. EVER.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" IT'S BECAUSE DANNO LOVES YOU, STEVE!
*cough*
BEERS WITH THE GANG!
Aww, everyone's all together.
Okay, seriously, someone tell me about Rachel!
Ah, once again, Chin figures it out. Except that we're still not going to hear about Rachel at all, it seems. Feh.
Oh, Steve, you obviously don't know your father at all. No way he was dirty. Something else is happening in that room.
Victor Hesse is already dead, I'm betting. Why did they not put him in protective custody ASAP?
Yep. Dead as a doornail. Too bad, I liked the character.
Wow. Wo Fat did it himself? Ballsy.
HOLY FUCKING CHRIST JENNA NOOOOOO!
WHAT?
GODDAMMIT I LIKE HER! Please tell me she's under some form of duress. :(
Is it next Monday yet?
I do love these pretty aerial shots of Hawaii at the start of every episode.
Dude, who's that black guy at the Governor's funeral? I don't remember him. Is he important?
