The best thing about the show for me is Alex. Last weeks episode rocked when he was front and centre, though I loved the addition of Adam and the Kono/Adam scenes were some of the most genuine emotions displayed on the showso far except for the Steve/Jenna scenes in 2.10. This week we were back again to childish Danny with forced bromance and silly dialogue, topped with absurd storylines that made no sense.
The action was great and that explosion was outstanding, kudos to the special effects guys. Steve was back to his kick ass self and Alex is always amazing but that's about it. Malia was dragged back just for shock purposes, Fryer isn't part of the family imo and I didn't care that the died. Malia and Kono's predicament came out of nowhere and I felt I'd missed part of the episode.
The writers don't seem to know what to do with Danny at all besides custody battles and being childish around Steve. The season has been incredibly disappointing and I thought they'd found thei

Absolutely loved it! What a finale! Can't wait for season 3! I feel certain that Kono is ok, but not so sure about Malia. For Chin's sake I hope she is ok. I also felt like Shelburne was Steve's mother. There has to be a reason why she left her children, I will reserve judgement on that until next season when I hope they let us in on it. Feels like Wo Fat lurking behind the scenes in all this chaos! We definitely haven't heard the last of him! This is going to be a long summer!
@lizzie...I respect your opinion on the show, but I don't respect you criticizing other viewers because they don't think the show is perfect like you do. I am glad you think everything is perfect the way it is, but I am entitled to my views too. I don't tell you that how you feel is wrong, and you have no right to tell me I am wrong or to quit watching. I would appreciate it if you would keep your comments about the show and not on bashing other viewers who don't agree with you.

Alex is back and he was absolutely his fantastic wonderful self... the guy is just so perfect in every way -- just the look of him, his performance, the man has over-the top talent - an excellent actor who makes Hawaii 5.0 the marvelous show/series that it is....teamed up with a terrific team... the entire cast is perfect....What more could anyone ask for... I'm so tired of reading some ridiculous comments submitted by some ridiculous
people... for starters, the show is part of the "entertainment" business... for your 'ENTERTAINMENT' - you sideline critics that go about complaining about plot holes, or not being true to life as far as things the bad guys or the good guys do or don't do???? What is wrong with you? Crime/drama/etc. TV shows are written as close to real life as possible - but bottom line again: its for your 'ENTERTAINMENT' - writers have to stretch some things in order to present a wonderful show....And if you don't like things about it, so don't watch anymore....

I am glad to see I am not the only one bothered by Adam and Kono. Not only did he tie her up but he also made several attempts on Steve's life last week. How can that not matter? He must be awfully good in bed for Kono to ignore everything that he has done.
I loved the first season because I felt the team really cared for each other but haven't seen that this season. They have become co-workers more than friends as a whole.

Was it only me but I did not find the Shelburne discovery a shock. I say this because I knew it all along from many episodes back that Shelburne was Steve mom. So for me it was a big discovery, as I know who was behind that door.
I find the Danny story a little weak, it needed to developed more

It will be interesting to see if Delano has set off a war with the Yakuza by kidnapping the girlfriend of the head of the organization. Not exactly a smart move if you ask me.

Was glad to see O'Quinn had his own show coming on. Now maybe they will keep him off 50 and they will go back to crime of the week shows instead of on going soap opera. Well can hope anyway.
(I'm sure WoFat has a lot to do with it). I was actually surprised he didn't show up at the end to add to the mayhem.
@Mrs.alexo'loughlin - I don't feel that Mommy McG will be a new member of the cast-probably, maybe a recurring one or at least until Shelburne is finally put to rest. I completely agree w/you about being jealous of Michelle!
After a very rocky start, the season ended on a high note! Can't wait for September to see how it all plays out.

I guess Chin thought that Kono would have a chance as she could use her cop skills and since she is a good swimmer she will be fine.
I am glad that Danny will fight for custody and I think he will get it this time as he can use the whole "I can give Grace stability as I will be in Hawaii for the foreseeable future"
Personally Steve's mom being Shelburne did not enter my mind!
I too do not think Katherine should be a part of the team. However GULP I just read that Chin loses someone:
We’re going to break [Chin Ho] and have him get rebuilt up again. So I guess that means that Malia dies, I thought for sure that Malia and Kono would both survive, they just had Chin and Malia get married and now to kill her off?
I liked it. Man hasn't Steve been traumatized enough! First coming to terms with his mom's terrible death and now having to go thru all new and different emotions as to why she abandoned him 20 years ago without so much as a postcard. I'm wondering how this is going to play into next season. Poor Steve, the guy can't catch a break. He now has to contend with a gf 24/7 and a mother (again) and abandonment issues. @Lena I agree w/you - next season we'll all find out that Joe is Steve's father and mommy dearest had to go into hiding when Daddy McG found out his best friend was literally screwing (with) his wife.
On the emotional end this was certainly a roller-coaster ride. The Fab4 having to go thru and handle their own trials while still being "on" for each other was excellent. Max was sweet and I'm glad Danny is going to fight Rachel for Gracie. Poor Chin, what a terrible position to be put in. It took me a bit to realize that Delano was behind this whole thing (I'm sure WoFat has

I don't mind it being predictable if it made sense. Joe is suddenly able to tell Steve about Shelburne because WoFat has been captured. But how can Wofat be the one that Steve's mom is protecting him against if WoFat didn't even know who Shelburne was and Steve didn't even know WoFat until a year ago. After Korea didn't Joe realise that Steve was already in danger from WoFat so how could knowing his mother was alive change any of that. I still find it totally unbelievable that Joe or Steve's mom couldnt have arranged a secret meeting or contacted each other before now considering Steve worked in Navy Intelligence and is used to keep ssecrets.

still one of my fave shows but the plot holes are getting fairly large. in general, the whole wo fat/shelburne/yakuza thing got a bit ridiculous this season. it's all one giant plot hole. steve's mom was killed 20 years ago, which means both wo fat and the governor would've been very young, and there's no way the governor would've actually been the governor then, yet supposedly she is the one that ordered the hit. and steve's dad was investigating it for all that time?? they pushed that too far.
also thought it was strange that adam doesn't appear to be facing any consequences for his actions last week, as he is planning dates with kono. it's just a bit much.
but it was exciting and i'm so glad alex is back. interesting to see where they take it next season. i really hope the rumors about catherine becoming a part of the team are false. i love her and steve, but the relationships should stay away from the team...i don't get why they always feel the need to mess with the

As exciting as the episode was, when I saw Fryer go down, I had a feeling Delano was behind it.
Personally, I'd have loved for Fryer's killer to have survived and get some "special treatment" from Five-O, but at least now, she matches her police record.
And if you're gonna talk about plot holes, how 'bout a single police officer entering a crime scene without back-up. Even when he found out the call was bogus, he should have summoned for back-up. Anyone who watches a cop show knows that's Cop 101.

I'm going to go ahead and watch the episode again because most people here loved it, and I really want to be that excited too, lol.
I was harsh, but it's only because I love the show so much and I'd like every episode to be "perfect" which really would never happen.
I too caught when Kono said “playing with duct tape is wrong?" and laughed.
As for Holly still being there when the cops and Five O arrived, was not really a stretch for me as she only had 7 minutes to escape and she was shot so she as moving slowly eventhough she managed to drive at high speeds while injured. One thing that I did not get though was the reasoning behind her blowing up the police station I guess she was hoping that the Five 0 team would all be there (which they were) and would not make it out in time.
When the show returns we will get 2 new regular cast members, Steve's mom and Katherine (Michelle Borth).
How jealous am I of Michelle? VERY JEALOUS!
I love this show. This is the best finale I have seen in a long time and it just further proves that this is one of the best shows on tv and is my favorite!
I loved the carguments with Steve and Danny some of my favorites were Danny telling Steve the call was private and Steve saying: "What, you do want me to cover my ears with my hands and drive with my knees, or do you want me to stick my head out the window and drive with my toes, I have great toe control".
Then Steve wanting to know what was going on and Danny saying "Do you want me to write you a letter explaining nothing and then disappear for 2 weeks"
No I am sure I do not have those verbatim but still I loved them and there were other funny moments between them that I missed when Steve was away.
I guess Adam did not go to jail if he and Kono were making plans for a date.
I did not see the previews so I did not know that Chin would have to choose Malia or Kono, I guess I should not me surprised that he would choose Malia

@Lena,

I thought was a very good ep loved it, it was a bit predictable but that took nothing away for me. Kono will be back, I hope it's Adam who saves Kono. Maybe Chin was able to reach him or he may have been able to track her phone.
Hope everyone has a great summer, it's been a roller coaster ride this season but it's finnishing on top.
Well, I didn't see that coming. The finale was not about Steve/Wo Fat or Kono/Adam but brought back a story line from season 1 ( Chin and the missing money ) and one from season 2 ( Kono undercover ) that were supposedly resolved. I think the key is the Toothpick Guy. He did all the heavy lifting. Who is he and what is his connection to Delano? Delano couldn't have planned all this from Halawa CF. I think Wo Fat is behind this. As has been mentioned he gave up way too easy. I think this summer I'm going back to season 1 episode 1 and watch and see if all these story lines make sense. Can't wait for September.
