thegrrrl2002Eeeeeeeeee! Steve! Danny! Kono! Chin Ho Kelly!!!! Oh no, not Jenna! I refuse to accept it!!
That's about all I have right now. Yes, I've watched the car scene with Steve & Danny about ten times so far, and no, that was not eye-fucking. That was eye-lovemaking. Because their faces, the most smooshiest faces of LOVE that I've ever seen. Oh, and I adore Max. And while White is a total Mary Sue, I like him. And Kono? you don't try and take Kono down with only one guy, because she'll kick his ass with BOTH HANDS TIED BEHIND HER BACK.
Chin Ho Kelly should wear a uniform more often. I'm just sayin'.
I wish they had given the Rachel/Danny thing a little more weight in the ep, but I get that it's the Action Packed Premiere. So hopefully we'll get a better resolution on that next week. Right now it's making Rachel look like a bit of a flake, and I don't like that. Because she isn't. And I'm firmly convinced that Jenna is a double agent. I refuse to believe she's working for Wo Fat. I like to think that she has her own agenda in taking Wo Fat down, which just happens to coincide with Steve's and that's why she's working with him.
In conclusion, Steve LOVES Danny and Danny LOVES Steve.

Date: 2011-09-20 01:18 pm (UTC)Oh, HELL yes!! :-) Which was one of the most important messages we needed to see coming out of 2.01, given the nightmare can of whup-ass 1.24 unleashed on them all. That scene in Max's car really set the bar for future carguments.

In conclusion, Steve LOVES Danny and Danny LOVES Steve.
Amen and hallelujah!

And then I watched the extended gag-reel posted on one of the comms today which ended with Alex and Scott holding hands running down the beach together and my life was complete.

Date: 2011-09-21 06:27 am (UTC)There was lots more interaction between Steve and Danny and it would have helped make at least a bit more sense of the Rachel stuff. Too bad they edited it out.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-21 01:32 pm (UTC)I think it's weird that we never got a reaction from Steve regarding Danny leaving the island for good. Did he not know?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-20 02:34 pm (UTC)Amen to that! I could watch it 1000 times and never get tired of it.
I still have a hard time believing Rachel is really pregnant. Seemed too much of a coincidence for Danny to be distracted like that. And you know what Chin says about coincidences: they take a lot of planning. I still think it was blackmail by Wo Fat.
I bet we eventually find out she "looses" the "baby."
I don't know where the writers are with Rachel; her character has been too split-personality-like from the beginning. She's been shown to be cool and manipulative (how she managed to meet Danny; crashing her car into the neighbor's gate so Danny could escape without detection), yet wildly irrational (threatening to take Danny back to court over visitation after the football field incident, yo-yo-ing between Danny and Stan....she immediately hooks up with Stan when her and Danny fall apart, and moves thousands of miles away with no thought about the impact on her daughter, now she boomerangs back to Danny when things get rocky with Stan. Not to mention the completely irrational urge to leave Hawaii immediately in the absence of coercion by Wo Fat---again with no thought to how this will affect her daughter. They've made her come off as completely cuckoo).
Jenna.....I don't know what to think of her. I think I need to make my own post about the ep!
no subject
Date: 2011-09-20 02:46 pm (UTC)And I agree--I really don't like the way the writers have used Rachel as a plot device. We're not getting her POV on any of this and it makes her look, well, a bit uneven. And Jenna! OMG! I like her, and I think where ever the writers go with it, it's going to be interesting.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-21 12:59 pm (UTC)Umm... I see all of those things as being consistent with Rachel having a bit of an impulsive streak and needing someone to counter that, to steady her. Which is why she's attracted to Danny - he's impulsive too sometimes - but also why they're bad for each other.
YMMV but I don't see her as cuckoo *shrugs*
no subject
Date: 2011-09-21 01:56 pm (UTC)btw, what does YMMV mean?

no subject
Date: 2011-09-20 08:20 pm (UTC)I didn't get the sense that Danny was trying to pull away, it felt to me like Danny was trying to convince himself that he was fine. Maybe because he had way too much going on right now with Steve and all that.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-22 04:58 pm (UTC)And then the team rallying at the end for beers and Danny's off by himself in his office...
Again these are just my observations, but I agree with you, D is trying to convince himself he's fine when he ain't.

Date: 2011-09-20 06:25 pm (UTC)The love between the whole team was awesome and the car scene and the yelling and Steve looking Danny up and down in jail...HUMINA!
At this point with the whole Rachel thing, I worry that the more the writers try to fix it, the worse they'll make it and the worse she'll come out in the long run. I will say that the "resolution" makes me question why they bothered with the plot device in the first place. So we would believe for 5 minutes that Danny might be leaving HI? There were much less messy ways to accomplish that.
One thing I did think about though was the fact that Steve sat in jail that whole time believing that Danny would be leaving him eventually for Jersey. :( Poor woobie.
Off to work...okay. Off to watch the ep again.

They are so perfect, I can't believe they got edited out.
I am so so happy to have the team back!
no subject
Date: 2011-09-22 04:29 am (UTC)::hugs you:: Thank you for pointing them out to me. I hadn't seen them! You could just about *hear* Steve's heart breaking when he was congratulating Danny. ::wibbles::
I just started a new job on Monday. (YAYYYY!!!!) Away from the hospital. (DOUBLE YAYYYYY!!!)
BUT
H5O comes on a bit later than is really good for me.
Just as an aside, I've got to say that this whole 'waking up to an alarm' thing kinda sucks.
So, I'm in the process of getting an RV waiver that will allow me to get the East Coast feeds, which means I'll be able to watch it 3 hours earlier. :D Than I'll have some time to squee online before bed! Or at least not have to pout all day Tuesday because I couldn't watch on Monday *g*
no subject
Date: 2011-09-22 02:01 pm (UTC)But I take it you're not a morning person? :D The East Coast feed sounds like a great idea. It's fun to be able to squee with everybody, it truly is.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-21 04:23 am (UTC)agreed x1000000. I really hope we get a bit more of this storyline and it doesn't just get waved away. :( it'll be interesting to see how they interact with each other this season.
I could watch the eyes-in-the-mirror scene on repeat for days. so much love. and Scott did such a good job getting the perfect worried tone of voice mixed in with his yelling.
your conclusion = A+++

Date: 2011-09-21 01:37 pm (UTC)That car scene. It makes me such a happy, happy fangirl. ::flails::
