OMG! H50 SQUEE!


OMG, what an amazing episode! This episode proves to me that the show is able to do it right, but for some reason, it doesn't quite get there as much as it could. Scott Caan kicked okole in this episode so much. He really had great scenes with Grace and Steve. I was floored by how passionate his speech was about the state of the world his daughter lives in. And Scott did a great job showing us the difference between Jersey Danny and Hawaii Danny. And that subtext of respect for the military and the first responders was really well done. That allusion to 9-11 was beautifully done. And the McDanno was off the charts in this episode. This felt way more McDanno than the boat episode by miles. The care and affection between them was so palpable, I can't even. And a HUG with teary eyes and rocking! OMG.. so beautiful, plus the way Steve watched Danny leave. And then the beauty of Danno and Grace was fabulous, plus Scott can dance. Wow! And everyone got something to do in the episode, including Chin and Kono chuckling at the boyfriends' joking. Cath and Max were ok, too.


Though, I'm shocked that those three major guest stars - Poitier, TI, and Howard were in the episode for such a short time.. they should have been used way more especially for how much they're paying these big names. Only complaint though.

One of the best episodes of the entire series as far as I'm concerned.

And the oddest thing is that when I congratulated Lenkov on a great episode and told CBS they should let them do more episodes like this.. Lenkov replied with a HA! WTF?! Anyway, I think I'll be re-watching this episode once a week until the end of the season. I would kill for Scotty to do an episode commentary on this one, but who knows.

I'm so happy about tonight's episode, and I hope the ratings are good so CBS lets them do more character based episodes. :)
