Why so down, Charlie Browns'?
Why is everyone ranting about how horrible Hawaii Five O's become with it's thin plotlines and over the top obviousness? Did you guys not realize it was that last year too? Because I've never liked this show for being a good show. I'm sure I might get lambasted and probably hated by several on my very own f'list, unfriended by a few for this maybe, but.... It's kind of always been awful? The "tearjerker" episodes and the hammin' it up and the schlocky plots from hell that make my eyes roll. It's always been that for me. I've always known that were it not for Scott Caan, I would not be here.
Now that's not to say I only stay for Scott Caan. I stay FOR the badness too. To laugh at, it's fun. I also mean to say that I came for Scott, I stayed for Scott, and I fell in love with Danno, Danno N Steve, Kono, Chin, and TEAM.
This show is not a good show. It is not ground breaking. It is not hard hitting. It's not the funniest, it's not the cleverest, it's not the wittiest, it's not the cop-showiest, it's not even the prettiest. This show is awesome for four reasons: Danno, Stevo, Kono, and Chino... Okay, sorry, I added the O to everyone else, I had to add it to Chin.
Maybe that's just my opinion. But if you go back through my reviews of last season you will see how many times and how frequently I complained about how crap this show actually was. I think you people might have been bedazzled by the pretty that is Danno/Steve. Because it's pretty. It is. It's shiny. It's great filler/replacement for John/Rodney, it's kind of even Seth/Ryan a bit. We've been yearning for bickering snarkiness for a while now, the people we loved kept getting their shows cancelled.
But this show was never gonna win an award for anything other than Best Gayest NonGay Couple. And maybe a "Thank You For Being From Jersey Danny and Not Sucking" award. I don't know man, it just seems to me like I keep reading that Hawaii Five O is lame now and I'm like... and that's different how? I have seen no change in this season from last season, other than specific plots. Quality hasn't gone up or down, funny hasn't gone up or down.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to shit on anyone specifically. It's just something I've read several places and it's cracking me up. I just. I don't love this show any less this year than I did last year. I didn't put any stock in it whatsoever last year, had no faith, no expectations, it is totally cotton candy, popcorn, sugary mess of delight to me. I sit there ont he couch and giggle at Danny and Steve's bickering and wait for the Glaringly Obvious (not even subtext anymore) Do-Me Looks, and giggle and giggle and giggle. Chill people. Grab you some wine, get over the high-and-mighty I'm Better Than This Show-ness and enjoy teh slash. Isn't that what fandom is for?
