From Maggarrett to Danno and to the 'very special' guest star - Jimmy Buffet...this show was excellent. With Hawaii 5.0 I never know what to expect. Talk about being fickle, sometimes the episodes are easy to avoid and others are hard to turn away from. This week was a well put together package. I was riveted. Which is kind of odd since I am usually turned off by the Navy SEAL super-spy plots - the show's occasional opportunism at Team expense, plays down that force's importance, ending up as unintentionally coming across as disrespectful. This week - I enjoyed the story(s). Neither were too far fetched or silly (ok - maybe a little). I think the gang did it right though, Steve was toned down some and his mentor (the guy older than me, but I can't remember his name and am too lazy to look it up) was actually believable this time. I am really beginning to like this new/old character. As I said before, this episode was a bit over the top...so what else is new...I liked it this time around. Besides this is TV and it is entertainment, so being over-the-top at times is a good thing. Additionally, I am so glad this show has not hitched its wagon to silly PC messages. I can't stand listening to someone else's personal impassioned plea on my dime, besides political opinions lose half an audience while permanently tainting the well. Stay on track, and keep this kind of pace and I will return to the 'loyal fan' fold. Good show this week...Bravo Zulu
