Okay, finally, SHOW IS BACK, BITCHES!!!!!
The Squee:
a. HPD being at their Competent Best.
One of the characters that I wish they'd utilize more is the character of Sgt. Duke Lukela, our intrepid Honolulu PD officer. Incidentally (at least as per
what I found on IMDB, Sgt. Lukela is played by Dennis Chun, son of the original 5-0 Chin Ho Kelly, Kam Fong.
b. Danny Moving In With Steve
That first shot of Steve in bed? OM NOM NOMS. *koff*
Okay, so about this time, I was kinda deafened by the fangirl squeeing and the clack of a thousand keyboards rushing off to do fan fic. For my case, I already fell out of my chair with lulz. Oh Danny and Steve, ILU when you guys prove to us that you are SO, SO MARRIED.
ALSO, NAVY SHOWERS. I ASK YOU. YOU WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, GET THE CALL TO GO TO WORK AND YOU MAKE IT THERE AND THE SUN IS UP. I'M SORRY, WHAT TOOK YOU TWO SO LONG? NAVY SHOWERS? SRSLY?
Also, there is SO. MUCH. FAN. FIC. EPIC. GOLD. IN STEVE'S FIRM REFUSAL TO LET DANNY MOVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM HIS HOUSE. OH DANNY YOU ARE SO GAY MARRIED - CALL YOUR FOLKS FOR THE LOVE OF GRANDFATHER VITO AND TELL THEM YOU'RE SHACKED UP AGAIN.
c. Raise the Ship Flag, Matey - I SHIP LORI/MAX
FORGET THE WHOLE FEMALE MCGARRETT SHE IS STEVE'S LOVE INTEREST. OH NO NO NO NO NO NO. I AM SORRY, STEVE, YOU ARE ADORABLE BUT IT IS SO OBVIOUS THAT YOU AND DANNY ARE MARRIED AND LORI IS NO HOMEWRECKER.
HENCEFORTH, SHE WILL GO FOR THE ADORKABLE SOUL THAT IS MAX.
RAISE THE FLAGS, MATEY, YO HO HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM FOR THE PIRATE SHIP LORI WESTON / MAX BERGMAN.
d. Kono - the BAMF SNIPER LADY
EPIC. THANK YOU.
e. Chin Ho Kelly - BAMF WITH A SHOTGUN
EPIC. AGAIN. THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH.
Finally: The Comment Fic. I blame
lamardeuse and her shameless teasing over this episode's ending, which is just plain CLASSIC.
"Fifty bucks says they're going to tell us they're pregnant in a week," Lori tells Max in this perfectly deadpan voice that would have convinced the Pope himself that she was being utterly serious.
"Sucker bet," Max proclaims solemnly. "Danny is glowing right now. I am said to be rather good at determining whether or not a person is expecting, therefore, I am stating that they will have a male offspring and I am willing to bet a hundred dollars on that outcome."
"...and I hope your first child will be a masculine child," Chin intones and if there was any doubt of Chin Ho Kelly's innate evil, Danny and Steve were now sure who was the real Dark Lord of the Sith standing in their midst.
Kono sniffles. "They are so, so sweet. I'm just saying. Hey, dibs on planning your wedding guys!"
"I hate you all, just so you know," Danny declares.
"If he doesn't stop eating cookies in bed, I might yet divorce him after a week," Steve sighs, finally giving up and joining the madness.
