Eeeeeeeeee! 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.

I think the way the Rachel/Danny thing turned out is like...out of real life. That is how these things can sometimes happen. Or a lot of times. I belong to a women's group. And, believe you me, there are stories that are more out of left field than that.

But, that car scene was very....shippy.

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.

I get that life and emotions are messy and things happen, but I still don't like the way the writers handled her character. They can make it up to me the next time we see Rachel, though. :D

OMG that gag reel, especially the ending, how adorable was that? Yup, life is now complete. \o/

I just took it to mean that she wanted it to be Danny and I think that's something that fits in how sometimes, you'll never fall out of love with someone, even if you're not really good for each other. I hope it gets shown, but I do hope they let the Stan/Rachel relationship thrive. After all, she uprooted her daughter over umpteen miles, away from most of her family for this guy. You want it to be for a good reason, yanno?

Exactly! And I think if the show had fleshed out the change in Danny and Rachel's relationship some more, I wouldn't be feeling so disgruntled about it. It just felt like a plot device at the expense of a good character, without giving any of the realistic stuff that would make me believe it.

If that makes any sense. I don't think it does. Eeep!

Yes, yes, the fix-it fic will need to happen. And Rachel-in-my-head will continue to be awesome. :)

She turned into a total plot device, which is kind of frustrating!

Also, they seem to be writing Stan more like a workaholic who's rarely home. If they had a scene with him playing tennis with Gracie instead of buying lessons, or taking care of the baby later on, or something...

Of course, Stan and Danny awkwardly bonding over being dads could be good.

It would be nice to see more of Stan actually parenting. And I would love some awkward bonding with Danny. Hee! That would be pretty awesome. :D

Have you seen the deleted scenes from ep 124? http://youtu.be/I3bRhVT1Hc4

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.

Those were such great scenes, they would have added so much to the ep!

I think it's weird that we never got a reaction from Steve regarding Danny leaving the island for good. Did he not know?
