Dane Clark is all right, but in every episode on the series, and in other shows, he lacks the personality of a crook, and it shows.
Usually, in weakness, or in things not planned well. I can think of at least 3 other 5 O episodes, in which he appears.
The real problem, is that by this season, the scripts are no longer tight and excellent. Good, but nothing like season 6 or before.
All episodes in season 9, have a very weak ending. No follow up, nothing of a real conclusion, and the crook does not say anything.
Further, the grave problem here, is the writers making three separate main themes, instead of one. This is hazardous in filmmaking.
You have the idea of him buying the football team ( it was assumed that that would be the story), then other attempts on purchasing other businesses; then the whole matter of his partners in SF, ( which was never fully dealt with), then suddenly out of nowhere, the matter changes to what he wants to do, with McGarrett, all jumbled into one episode.
A couple of notes: In the goods section, someone says that there is a TV crew member behind the door in a restroom. I watched that scene four times, paused, etc, and there is no crew member.
The other is a review stating about the office being back at the palace, ranting about how this deceives the viewer.
It's common knowledge that the Palace was closed for a few months or so, so 5 O was temporarily in another place, but now was back to the Palace after the renovation.
Still, in this season, episodes were good, but not great.
Far too many goofball plans between Dane's character, and his stooge.
Aloha!
