Quick thoughts on H50 2.05 Ma'ema'e

[thegrrrl2002]

My expectations were pretty low for this ep, considering how clumsily the Kono storyline has been handled, so I was surprised to find I really enjoyed the ep. First of all:

KONO! KONO! KONO! You are so awesome. I have missed you! So glad you are back. I figured you were working undercover, to be honest. But I missed you just the same.

Also:

CARGUMENT. OMG so adorable. Really, Steve, with that eye roll. You do that a lot at Danny, don't you?

Speaking of Danny, HI HI HI SO NICE TO SEE YOU ON THE SHOW AGAIN! YOU ARE VERY CUTE. IN A HOT SEXY KIND OF WAY, WITH YOUR BUTTERY YELLOW SHIRT.

Lori, I'm not sure what to make of you, and the writers don't seem too sure either, but I'm trying to like you. The comment about Steve's daddy-issues certainly helped. You're kind of dork, aren't you?

Chin, your face is awesome.

Danny, so is your face, especially when they were cuffing Kono and bringing her in. You looked so utterly miserable.

Okay, so Steve, you're pretty sexy when you're freaked out and yelling, but that was a bit over the top, no? Still, I loved it when you punched the IA guy at the end. And I loved it when he called you out on your crazy crap earlier.

NO JOE WHITE. That's a plus for me at this point.

The ending with the slo mo was a bit goofy, but hey, I liked it. TEAM.

I'm sure there's more I want to say, but I'm ready to crash.

Yay team!

Kono rocked. I also liked seeing Malia again. It'll make me happy if they make up. Chin should get to be happy. ♥

I am LA-LA-LA-LA-LA not thinking too hard about the previous episodes and the Kono storyline prior to tonight. I am happy that we had TEAM tonight, finally, finally, oh finally.

Danny's sad face when he had to bring Kono in just broke my heart.

Loved that Steve punched the IA guy. TOTALLY saw that comin'. *g*

The best part... well, okay, the *BEST* part was TEAMTEAMTEAMTEAM. (And yeah, the power walk was goofy, but I fall for it every. time.) And the next best part was the cargument, if for no other reason than because it was STEVE AND DANNY in the same space for a change, holy God.

But after that? The BEST PART? Was NO JOE WHITE. This episode really drove home to me that except for that plot thing that I am LA-LA-LA-LA-LA not thinking about, Joe White is what has pissed me off about this season. He needs to go back to where he came from. Disappear, Joe.

I so agree. I thought it would be Lori who would throw a monkey wrench into the works, but really it's Joe. He needs to go away, like right now.

Malia is adorable. And the two of them are adorable together.

I'm ready to handwave away some of the stuff in the previous eps and move on. I'm good with the handwaving.

SO GLAD THERE WAS NO JOE WHITE. His scenes with Steve just fall kind of flat--there's nothing dynamic, no conflict like with Danny. He's not really bringing anything to the table, you know? And I like the actor a lot.
