Nothing brilliant for me in this episode, it wasn't horrible, but nothing really memorable happened either.
The beginning, with Max doing the time warp, was great, right down to him fainting, believing himself to be infected by zmbie germs. Max is one of those characters for me that can do no wrong and he never disappoints.
Cath wracked by survivor's guilt and having nothing to do.... I can't even remember the reason for her quitting the Navy. If it's her life, why quit? Anyhow, now she has a new purpose in life - joining 5-0. And she has a crush on the boss. Remind you of anyone? Whatever. I don't hate Cath, but the core four is the core four, even when one is missing.
The whole zombie thing was interesting if not riveting. I wasn't yawning, but I wasn't falling off my seat either.
Danno and the toilet paper... a bit forced, but hey, he's eccentric and hates the oddest things so OK. Cute that it turned out to be Monkey, and I did like how she figures if she was going to "vandalize" someone's property, it'd be better to be hers, because doing it to someone else would be mean. Danno's teaching her right.
The guy in the photo, is he the guy Joe was talking to in a past episode?

Liked the beginning with Max and Sabrina at the Rocky Horror Picture show event. Sabrina is growing on me. Liked her scenes with Max.
Wondering how Grace managed to TP her house without Danny seeing her.
Also, wondering how Cath is going to support herself now. She must be living off her Navy money. She can't be totally relying on Steve to support her. Is she an unofficial member of 5-0 now? Sort of unclear what exactly she is doing. The writers probably haven't figured it out yet. Why doesn't she just start her own PI/security business? Or is that what she is doing sort of?
So typical of the writers to have Steve and Cath move in with each other and Danny get a house without really addressing either.
Did like seeing more of Chin.
Funny scene with Danny and Steve in the party van.
Good continuity with Cath still thinking about Billy.
Mentioned Kono at least even if we didn't get to see her. Again, continuity.
Danny telling Steve he doesn't pay close enough attention to him that is why Steve didn't know Danny doesn't like tight spaces - funny.
Interesting storyline overall.

I guess we are preparing for a 50 plus Catherine HK rescue mission?

It was another "ok"...no super hero or super action stuff.  Missin' the Core4 and Kono. Missin' badass Steve.  Nice to see Chin with a bigger role. Max is cute. Danny is getting too neurotic.  Fast forward through finding yet another segment to find a spot for Catherine...it's painful.

I just got around to watching this episode and I totally agree with you, blondiechic.

I liked Max -- especially the part where he was explaining to the guys about the victims brain. Loved the blank expressions and Max's use of low syllable words to expain.

Danny - really. He got the crime lab to test the toliet paper? What was he expecting? It was cute when Grace confessed and then Danny told her next time they'll go prank Uncle Steves'.

Catherine -- Neh. I hit the fast-forward button through her scenes as well.

Looking forward to Friday's episode though. I hope they explain how Mary of all people could adopt a baby.
