Good episode last week I thought. I can't be the only one who watches it at US pace. I thought it was a bit predictable that Wo Fat may turn out to be McGarrett's half brother. I thought all last season there was some link. Bit of a predictable programme really.
Hopefully it's better than season 3, because I think that was a bit of a let down. They need to get rid of Doris she is so irritating. :mad:

Definitely agree about Doris. I can't stand her. Awful character, with an awful storyline. I don't think that H50 does storyarcs very well. The whole thing with her and Wo Fat etc. was really bad, and not just because she went from living in hiding in fear of all these people she's crossed over the years to pulling out of WitSec and living openly on Hawaii.
Indeed and then the montage at the end it was strange for sure
I actually had to check it wasn't the last show of the season and they had been told it wasn't coming back.
Happy to say it wasn't...
It was the 100th episode.
So they used it as a retrospective of the show.
So is Wo Fat dead then? Were they half brothers?
The whole Wo Fat thing went off the boil when they introduced Steve's mum tbh.
Edit : Also odd was the storyline about Dano's brother in the earlier eps. Thought that would have lasted a bit longer and the rather blood thirsty end to that was quite jarring as well. Team America Fek Yeah !
ok, that would partly explain it... but it was still very odd to put it in there mid season.
I couldn't remember if I'd seen danno and Steve meet before and I just kept feeling that the flash back was a bit odd. I mean danno didn't like being in hawaii if I remember rightly but in the flash back said it was the beaches that lured him here.
I kept thinking it was gunna be an different universe or sumat.
Anyway, I found it all it a bit odd
Too many things to watch, and the procedural nature of this meant it was an easy sacrifice.
OK, it does sometimes try its hand at an arc, but they're always poor. WoFat, Steve's Mum, Kono's Search For Her Yakuza Boyfriend...
The Case of the Week stuff is usually OK, but I got fed up with the vast majority of the cases being crimes that HPD should have investigated.
But for a defining episode, there were no surprises or shocks. Also, I think that confirms Catherine will never reappear on the show again.
again that surprised me that Catherine was in the montage as I assumed we were supposed to totally forget about her now the blond lawyer is on the scene
It just felt a bit pointless to bring Wofat back say the stuff about Steves mum when really no-one cares about Doris cos she has been kind of dropped.
I got the idea of the drugs trying to affect Steves memory (so it was kinda alternate reality ep) for Wo fat to find out info and guessing the montage bit was supposed to be Steves real memories coming back but it could have been done a lot better
Indeed from start t finish the only enjoyable bits for me was alternate Danny, but I love Danno
So it was an alternative danno........ I get it now.
