Ep. 402 - A’ ale Ma’a Wau - New

[webruce]

Like Danny's new ride. Hated to see white Camaro blown up, but love new black SS Camaro. Seems Chins Traverse got fixed quick. Steve immediately takes the keys. To bad for Danny, but he had to know, if not immediately, it would be soon. Also liked seeing the 1974 Mercury Marquis Steve owns from the original Series. Kono and Adam with a Jeep. Not sure how many are in a foreign country like that.

Kono and Adam at the cabin, nice area. She took out those assassins very nicely. used the McGarrett perp shield to perfection! When the Jeep broke down I figured they would be attached again. Adam wanted to send her home. But Kono wanting to go on the offensive made me smile. Surprised they haven't let the story line rest. But glad they aren't. But also surprised they were found so quickly. But the break in did that I guess.

Must be Doris is in deeper. That is ok for now. But no word on Charlie Fongs condition.

Chin happy for his new Computer!

Car talk was good! Did Steve check the results from Max?? I must of missed that part.

Liked Tim Dailey as Ray Harper, Texas Ranger. Had been watching Wings lately on Netflix. So was surprised to see him. As wife pointed out, he still looks good. Wondered when Walker (Chuck Norris) would show up??, Him chasing the kidnappers of his daughter, to Hawaii was a good story line. Throwing Michael Maockey(sp?) in the trunk was cute, but in front of the camera?? Then peanut buttering up Tom Akuna and leaving him in the fields was funny. He prefers chunky, lol And the rat vs. mongoose story. Later Steve and Chin finding Akuna showering and still with peanut butter on his head made me laugh. Tracking down Amanda took a little effort and that was good. Carl Jacobson(Scrubs), using his gf for delivery of $75,000. Then she is held for ransom then sold into sex slavery? Steve quipping "let's saddle up" was funny. Team took down fortress easily enough. The dock fighting was good. But when They open the cargo box, and Ray finds only Amanda. I thought 2 things. 1, they didn't have other women in there? and 2, Steve, Danny and Chin just stand watching, I thought you can get attached by anyone not out of commission!! But it didn't happen. Action was good to me and no outrageous stunts. Seeing Duke 2 episodes in a row is a good sign.

Catherine and Billy Harrington(Night Rider) working together didn't seem to make Steve upset. I wonder what they have in store. Steve and Catherine are showing more affection then in seasons past. That is a good thing. Some story lines may come out of her being Security. maybe this change is in relationship to all the complaints about her being Navy and not H50, or using Navy resources as her own?

Webruce, he did, they aren't brothers.

Thank you.
Pee Wee baseball scenes were cute. Gracie hitting it out of park. Steve/Danno/Catherine being coaches was nice. Surprised Steve wasn't helping Catherine's team. Komekona as umpire worked! Chin Ho in stands. What was Catherine's team name? I see Danny's was Honolulu Shrimps.

I think the one little detail about it that bugs me is that it felt like Steve was giving his permission for her to take the job, even though she said it was a decision she needed to make on her own. Um, excuse me, but Catherine is a grown woman who can make her own career choices without anyone's permission. That's probably gonna rub me wrong for a while.

I think he was giving her permission to take the job because she had told him earlier that she thought it was "the perfect job" but turned it down because she didn't want it to hurt their relationship. I think he was just reassuring her that they're "good" and her taking the job won't hurt their relationship. I don't know. It didn't bother me.

Agreeing with you all, and I do understand where they were coming from with the whole thing... perhaps just poorly scripted in a few of the details that made it come out wrong.

Catherine was coaching the Navy Brats team.

One thing that did bug me about the episode was the fact that Catherine is retiring from the Navy sort of out of the blue. No mention of it has been mentioned until last Friday (ep.2) Again, it could so easily been mentioned just in passing....another imagine/assume moment. When Billy first went to Steve to tell him about offering Cath the job, I was about to throw the TV out the window. In the end I get it---she didn't want her working for Billy to come between them (Steve and Cath). I'm with runner there---just poorly written/scripted. Hate to be overly sexist here, but was this episode written by men? (I will go check--yes---written by John Dove) Again, this show doesn't do very well by women.

I loved the Pee Wee baseball games.... Danny, Steve, Catherine, Kamekona all being coaches/umps was neat.

And yes, Tim Daly is aging quite well....hope they have him come back for another guest shot.
