shinysylverHawaii Five-0 episode thoughts:
There were a lot of things I really liked about this episode but at the moment the ending has left a slightly sour taste in my mouth. So lets start there:
Setting the slash aside for a second the writers missed the chance for a perfect symmetry to the episode. They should have had Steve show up with a case of beer and just talk to Danny all night the way he said his brother did after the divorce. It would have been seen as a brotherly thing which I'm sure CBS would have been okay with.
And putting the slash back on the table. I would have liked that much better than him turning to Rachel :(.
I'm fine if they want his relationship with her to improve but I am afraid they are going for a reconciliation and I'm not as good with that. I don't expect CBS to actually bring Steve/Danny out of the closet. It's not about that. I enjoy my leads with minimal romantic entanglements and if Danny were to be involved with Rachel again it wouldn't be minimal. The have a daughter...it would be MAJOR. Also I kind of like the fire the contentious relationship gives Danny.
Now on to the things I liked more:
I adored the entire dinner scene. The body language between Steve and Danny was so AWESOME. And so was the trust and the support and it was just beautiful.
Scott Caan really brought it tonight (doesn't he always?) and I found myself crying twice. I started crying when he told Steve about his brother taking care of him after the divorce and then again during the final scene with his brother. Loyal!Danny and Hurt!Danny go straight to my tear ducts and pull on my heartstrings.
I already mentioned the support Steve showed Danny but the fact that that meant pushing the case aside and lying to the FBI was so intense. It is very obvious that Steve considers Danny his family and that means that Danny's family is his responsibility by proxy. That realization also makes me hurt for Steve who has lost his family.
Gosh do I love this show. Even if they persist in the Rachel thing I think I will still love this show. Especially since I actually kind of like her...I just don't want them together. So I hope Step-Stan gets home soon.
