Going behind the cut.
I watch this show for the pretty (scenery and people) and the slash. I wave my hand at the plot implausibilities mostly.
Last night, though, I found myself with a little frown now and then. In no particular order, a few things that bugged me.
1. Grace in the episode seemed shoehorned in just as a way to in turn shoehorn in Kamekona. And as a mother of two daughters who've been her age, give me a break on the winsome moppet being better at poker than the men trope.
2. Why Danny dumb now, show, why? It was EMBARRASSING to have Danny require a simplified version of an already perfectly simple sentence. And for him to be lagging three steps behind Steve on the deducing. He's a good cop! An intelligent man! Can we remember this, please? ::breathes::
3. Danny was also being just a tad irritating in the car at times. Steve had a testy look on his face and I couldn't blame him.
4. Danny suggesting, EVEN FOR A MOMENT, that they let the thieves walk to cover their own asses? A world of hell, no. So out of character.
5. Explain to me how bad guy had the time to steal $28 million and stuff it into sandbags. He had a couple of hours; I can't pack a suitcase that fast, darn it. And where did he do the sandbag stuffing? Didn't anyone notice him adding the oddly shaped/weighted bags to the rest? How could he be sure no one would walk off with one? SILLY PLAN.
6. Also explain why all that money and drugs is so easily accessible? Why bother with the elaborate tsunami fakeout when our guys just stuck a truck there and took it with no one the wiser? HPD security sucks.
7. The bad guy thinks he's owed $28 million because he loses his pension? They must pay coastguards really well. Not that I don't have a tiny bit of sympathy for him; why was he about to be laid off that close to 20 years? Seems unfair. Maybe with Five-0 smashing up the place, overheads are high?
8. Hacker girl is still going to get majorly slammed by the law, right? No sympathy for her. She had to know she was doing something way dodgy. I was also getting dizzy from all the daughters wandering around the plot as motivation for people to do stuff.
9. Unless Steve's not telling his team everything, it seems rude of the Governor not to have them all in there to pat their backs. I know why though; this way they could do it off-screen and give the duh-duhn moment to Steve, plus save paying Jean Smart, but it was clunky like a lot of the episode.
ETA 10 And the surfing shots at the start went on WAY too long (we could've had more of Danny and Kono, hello!) and the beach they were standing on was calm and it was obvious the surfers Danny glanced over at weren't within miles of them.
To finish on less of a gripey note, Kono and Danny were adorable on the beach.
