Hawaii Five-0

So, I finally got around to watching the H50 pilot.

Boy, that McGarrett is an arrogant prick, isn't he?

Not really sure that bodes well for the rest of the series.

So far Danny doesn't seem to have much character. Chin is interesting. Is Kono Grace Park's character? Please tell me she'll get a few eps where she doesn't appear half-naked. I like strong women characters but not token booty.

Kono is Grace Park's character, and yes, she does get several eps where she doesn't appear half naked.

I'm surprised that you see Danny as not having much character. He came through clearly for me in the pilot. What are you looking for?

I don't know. It's hard to define. I just need something I can connect with. A vulnerability. Intellect. Values I share. Something.

I have a tough time with cop shows in general. Procedurals leave me cold. The character setup for McGarret in the H50 pilot would normally be perfect for me - dead father or daddy issues - but he just totally turns me off. Which would be okay if I connected with the other lead.

Hell, I'm only three episodes in. Maybe I'll get there when the show settles in a bit. I've got the whole season, so there's time.

*nods* you may not like it because of its format, but the first season has a theme of ohana (family). I know folks who never liked it; that's OK too. You may like Once Upon a Time better, but that's a completely different show.
