You know I agree 1000% about the Adam/Kono. It was so crammed in that there was no investment from the audience and all I could think was: "she's a cop...she's smarter than this...there is no way this ends well." You know I adore Adam and I would love to see more of him but if you are going to pull that relationship on the audience we need a bit more build up and a lot more tension. As it was it seemed to just be the magical coincidence that saved the day and made Kono look unprofessional. It didn't serve either character well and was generally lazy writing. I mean with Alex gone they should have had more time to slip in at least one more scene in a past episode to make all of that less ridiculously sudden.
I was going to say the same thing. If they'd spread the whole thing over a few episodes, it could have been so good! But now it's just "Oh hey, Kono and Adam and together and happy, no wait, now there's major angst, he pulls a gun on her, and hey, it's okay, Adam doesn't shoot her and gets arrested, THE END." WTF? Too much for one episode. We never even got the time to get emotionally invested in it.
Yes! I think it would have been so much better to spread it out. Like, a few episodes of her sneaking around, Chin getting suspicious, Kono realizing she shouldn't be doing this, etc. So we could see WHY she would put her job at risk and how this started. And, like, some actual development of the Adam/Kono relationship? Urgh, this could have been more interesting. SHOW, I AM DISAPPOINT. :(
Yes, it made her look unprofessional! And she is smarter than this. Maybe if we'd seen the build-up, we would have understood her attraction and why she was with him despite knowing it wasn't going to end well, but the way they did it was sloppy. Like, how did they even meet?? So much left unexplained. And yeah, I love me some Adam Noshimuri, but not like this. :/

But yeah, that was a bit disappointing, because they had the making of something really great, if only they'd have taken their time!
