Confused

[john-l-land · 3/10 · 7 April 2017]

Usually I love Five-0... In this case I find it hard to believe that the villain was ever a general in an ultra-violent African army...

The guy's somewhere between 100 and 120 pounds, and has a perpetual confused look on his face. He's 30 at the time of filming... So at the time he was supposedly leading troops and kidnapping children to fill his army, he was at most in his late 20's. So he would have been a scrawny kid... I'm sorry I can't wrap my brains around it. It's like "What if one of Fat Albert's friends was an evil African General and terrorist." Even when the guy (during the episode) was spraying Steve & Gang with automatic weapons fire... I was like, "He's barely bigger than that gun!"

I dunno... Very confused. Can I just skip this one?

(At least Jerry managed to earn serious cred by flirting with Max's assistant...)

Couldn't Mr. Abdi be mistaken for any terrorist? The man looks and is made up to be quite disturbed. In this episode, he appears as a Belgian Congo terrorist, assumed dead only to be very much alive.

The sidebar story is that Danno, so glad to see Caan back in that role, coming to grips with the fact that his daughter is now 12 years old and is being pursued by a boy in her school class. Ironically, the writers of the show still have him referring to the girl as Monkey Face. Why? She is anything but that.

Naturally, we have someone appearing so innocent in the episode who is anything but as well as the usual victimized couple taken hostage by the terrorist.
