Hawaii Five-O--Poor Chin Ho

Since I hadn't seen the first showing of last night's repeat of Hawaii Five-O, I was glad they'd given it another run.  It was tense with Chin getting kidnapped by a creepy Baldwin brother.  Although the first scene was awesome with both Danny and Steve punching the Baldwin brother in the face.  Who hasn't wanted to do that a time or two?

Then we have our Romeo and Juliet romance with Kono and her bad boy boyfriend.  You knew it was going to come down to that---where she sneaks around to see what nefarious things he's really up to, even though he's claiming to go legit.  I can already see this is going to end badly.

Poor Chin waking up in prison.  I think that would be a recurring nightmare for a cop.  Holy cow, though, when Chin is thrown into that laundry room and that ginormous prisoner/crooked cop walked in?  Edge of my seat right there.  But, we have our resident cooperative jailbird to the rescue.  I love them working together.  Sang Min is so funny and gets a lot of great lines.

The prison riot was awesome/horrible.  The look on Steve's face when he realizes Chin is in the prison was really well done.  He knows he has to get Chin out of there fast or he's a dead man.  And Steve McGarrett hates feeling helpless.  (His concern for Kono and not giving up on Chin was awww-worthy.) The whole tone was spot-on with everyone wanting to help Chin, but knowing he's on his own.  Loved it.  And the showdown with Kaleo?  Wow.

Although I have to say it was more than unrealistic that the three of them could go up against a prison riot like they did.  And Chin only wanted to save the cute nurse?  What about the guards?  I guess you can't save/help everyone.  I did like that Sang Min got away.  He is an interesting character for sure.

Lots of action, lots of great lines, and a happy ending.  Something for everyone, right?

What did you watch last night?
