Instant episode reaction, for a change: H50 1.07
And his incredibly photogenic sweat. And his magic waterproof bag, in which he can carry his hiking boots, a spare t-shirt, and a handy gas canister and mask.
Did anything else happen in this episode? I kind of lost track after Steve took off his shirt. (I wasn’t alone, either-no one else on the team seemed to be able to handle looking at him half-naked like that-they were all practically shielding their eyes.)
And then when he jumped into the water…Well, it was really all over. I admit it, I have a swimming kink. And if no one writes fic about Steve making Danny prove what he said about being a good swimmer in the next two days, I’m gonna have to do it myself.
Because say what you like about Hawaii Five-O, about a show that seems to want to have its rampant American gung-ho-edness (two references to the US Arizona in two episodes, really?; closing on a father and daughter embracing in an avenue of American flags, really?) and its slash-cakes too (“that your wife?” “no, my partner”).
But at least it has a healthy respect for masculine hair. Steve’s chest hair. Danny’s hairy forearms.
mmmmm.
You’re serious? And now you’re shirtless.”
Danny, as usual, got the line of the night.
Actually, it seemed like crazy amounts of other stuff happened that could be commented upon. Stuff about the military and the US’s involvement in Iraq (killing a bunch of kids by mistake would traumatize anyone, wouldn't it? it did seem like a tragedy that the SEAL's service ended in mental illness and imprisonment). About PTSD. About the gender politics that made Kono better qualified to deal with the little girl than the one person on the team who actually deals with a little girl on a regular basis. About why the hostages survived, but Steve's iPhone had to die. So please ignore my incredible shallowness and let me know what you think about that stuff-
(I was going to post something about Merlin 3.08-but it would have all been about Gwaine’s hair-and since I’ve already shot my wad on hair, so to speak, I’ll skip it ;))
