0k here it goes I have learned a lot of lessons today painful ones. I was a complete jerk, but I'm new to this commenting game and didn't mean to inflame or incite the way I did! I have had to eat a big helping of humble pie today, so I should know how it tastes. With the most honest sincere geniune apologies to all those I have eronged, I will try to police my comments better, and realize everyone is entitled to teir own opinion. In utmost new found maturity I was completly wrong and will lean to act accordingly! I hope there are no hard feelings even if it is too late. I will try to be less of a obnxious fanboy in the future! Go H50!

I thought this was a very weak episode. Bad writing and/or directing. Stephanie Sengupta, the writer, is usually better than this. Killing a teenage girl to get her father off a jury, is just plain stupid, not to mention cruel, when there were so many other ways to force a replacement.
Then, the team didn't even find the killer.
I watch HF-0 because of Alex, but he deserves something better. The only time he's allowed to show his acting chops is when his blood is up, otherwise, it's just cop cliches and directing the HF-0 team around.
People say they don't watch this show for realism. That's fine, but I don't want my intelligence insulted either. I don't think CBS and Peter Lenkov care enough to take a long, hard, look at their product and make the changes necessary to have a consistently good show. It's possible only a major drop in ratings would force changes.
HF-0 is the only program that I care about enough to criticize.

Sigh,about 2x13 I have a few words to say:
I was glad to see one of my favorite show coming back after a long hiatus,but I have to acknowledge that I'm losing my passion for this show.I don't expect the new eps or enjoy the h50 day like I did in the past.
I'm tired of forcing myself to endure that Lori character,I didn't like her and I'll never like her either no matter what it takes.And I'm sick of all the Shelburn puzzles and the hide and seek with grandpa Joe.
I have decided that I will never say anything about whatever the writers and the producers would do to the show,coz I just don't care any more.I think it's somewhat like if your heart was broken then you should just let go.
All the above are my personal opinions,and I mean no offense.

@roxanne, agree with u on the Kensi Blye thing, but not catherine. Kensi and Steve had sizzling chemistry the few minutes that they were communicating. But catherine is the best option for steve right now

I am sorry to disagree with the Catherine's fans, but I dont like for Steve.
Steve is so sexy! He connects with any woman who put forward. I mean that Steve's seductive looks make the chemistry, regardless of the woman whose face: Lori, Kono, Catherine or any other woman. Do you not see connection between Steve and the NCIS's girl? It's how Steve looks!!!
Particularly Catherine, I dont see between her and steve a deep relationship. I reviewed the first season and they are all the time in bed or he needs something from her and she remarks that it is a favor, and she wants something in return.
I dont like Catherine, sorry.

plot was a little too convoluted, way more than S1. I get that they want to keep it from getting predictable - but honestly, by the end of the episode, I'd already forgotten half the characters from the beginning (Luke? who dat?)
liked that there was much less Lori than usual. still would like less of her, though haha. I could do without her Captain Obvious comments ("Yes, I don't think they are dating because they don't greet each other lovingly." "Yes, the crazy lady seems crazy." "We should interview him.") and fail attempts at interrogation/fighting.
also agree with everyone saying AO'L seems more tired than usual? I wonder what's up... he seems kind of out of it when interacting with everyone - even Danny. not like the S1 Steve at all. has he even cracked a smile this whole season? womp :( get better soon, Alex.

It may happens like in Criminal Minds: Rachel Nichols outside and JJ Cook and Paget Brewster return. All for the request of fans. But I must note that social media (twitter and youtube) I see many fans of Lori, and many who want a romance Lori and Steve. I dont bother that.
I hope they find a solution to the dilemma Lori so everybody was happy: something like a romance and then murder ... Or a romance funny...

@Benita Lee.. I actually thought of that as a possibility. For now I need to believe she is back for steve. Maybe I need to think it more so that he is not available for a particular person on his team who is eyeing him like a tasty meal!! I would have to poke my eyes out if they even think of going there. LOL!

@amazingalex: to answer your question "why else would Catherine be returning?"
It could be to tell McG that she is now happily engaged/married/having a baby with another guy ... which would close up her storyline with McG and leave it open for him to pursue someone else. (Please not Lori!)
This is only my guess :)

@Zia..the silence is strange when it comes to her...I often wonder what is going on behind the scenes. I am with you and you would think there would be some kind of defense but nothing. I am even trying to figure out if everyone has returned to hawaii or if some have not if you get my drift. But to no avail.
I so agree that mcg needs someone, not a wife or anything. I cannot see him having the time for that or the emotional availability for it either. I think what we see with him and katherine is all he has to give. I just really like her with him cause it is in the background of the show and does not take away from the show. And they have fantastic natural chemistry. Maybe we can get a good reunion for them. And a BIG NO to him with anyone on the team, to stay true to mcg as a character you cannot have that. He would never cross that line.

@amazingalex.....I agree its like they have selective listening. They do not respond at all when it comes to the Lori character. You think they would defend themselves if they thought the character was good. I wish I was optimistic. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that if she stays, she is not involved with any team member, and Catherine has more of a role in McG's life. I think McG needs someone, just not someone he is the boss of.

The very frustrated lonewolf is signing off for now, but will be back, it's unfair, you guys give the anti petition out and campaign to get rid of her, gut I try to raise support and I feel persecuted. I guess we are in the minority. I will be back tommorrow, less confrontational, I truly feel awful at the moment!

@Jeffrey..you are burning bridges. You really need to take it down a notch. You say you dont want to upset people but you are purposefully posting things to start fights. I for one was trying to be civil but I think this will be the last time I acknowledge any of your posts.
Plus you cannot post in all caps. Online it is considered yelling like jschoi said. It is usually against the rules and probably is against the rules of this forum as well.

@Helen.. I wonder if the network as some pull cause they put out promos for H50 and lori is either not in them at all or very briefly. The network knows the fans are angry. That is where the complaints go. If they do have pull they should step in as soon as possible and do something about these writers and those responsible for bringing on a fifth unneeded wheel.

@meah..I agree. I totally love steve and katherine. Their chemistry was just there from the get go and did not have to be forced. Lori does not have it with anyone on the canvas in any way shape or form.
I think wholeheartedly that her return means a rekindling of steve and K. Why else would she be returning? That was her role on H50. I for one cannot wait!

@Zia..oh he listened to the fans when it came to danny and his ex but ignores us about lori. Let me tell you something, If I was P.Lenkovs wife I would keep an eye on him. It is like he is attached to the actress for some strange reason. Just unbelievable. I did not hear many people complaining about danny and his ex and yet everywhere you go on any forum it is full of lori hate. His stubborness is gonna bite him in the butt. So frustrating! And the fans notice everything, does he think we are stupid? Oh my gosh if it werent for AOL I would just turn Lenkovs show off!

For those that commented "why not just pay the worker the 250k you paid the hit man" the only thing I came up with was that they wanted to set a precedent.
If this small case turned out to be workman error and not faulty steel. If/when the 800million dollar project had a problem, they could use this case as evidence that it wasn't the steel "the first time".
I could be wrong, but that's what I got from the way the story unfolded.

I concede this amazingalex is that there doesn't seem much talk about Lauren German staying on the show anywhere, like EW, EONLINE, ET etc, so I guess it makes you wonder!
