I swear all of my shows know about the other shows I watch.
Last Friday's Supernatural featured a guy in New Jersey listening to a nature sounds MP3 of the ocean, and all I could think about was Danny ranting about Hawaiian water torture. Tonight, Danny sent Steve off on his dangerous mission to North Korea by calling him "jerk," and I immediately expected Steve to call him "bitch" in return because bitch/jerk is how Winchesters say 'I love you' on Supernatural.
Not a lot of Steve and Danny this week after two awesome bromance episodes in a row, but the scene in Steve's office with Danny being all concerned and Steve promising to think about Danny the whole time he was gone was adorable.
I was not at all surprised that Jenna was killed off in this episode, but even though I saw it coming a mile away, it was still a "holy crap!" moment when it happened. Wo Fat is really good at just up and killing people with no warning. I mean, it's not like he's going to telegraph it by changing his facial expression.
I suspect that Wo Fat getting away all the time is going to get kind of old. I know he was the Big Bad in the original version of H50 and didn't get arrested until the series finale, but Original Recipe Wo Fat (and somebody correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't seen that show since I was in elementary school) wasn't as much of a hands-on guy as Iron Chef Wo Fat. He had flunkies doing his dirty work so it was hard to connect him to things, unlike our Wo Fat who is doing illegal things in front of, and sometimes to, members of Five-0.
Chin proposing to Malia was a surprise. I know they were engaged before, but they've been through a lot and they just recently started dating again. From what the show has shown us so far, I didn't think they'd gotten past the lunch date stage. But whatever. I hope it works out for them and the show doesn't tragically kill off Malia as part of a character arc for Chin. Not that I don't want Chin to have a character arc; I just want him to have one that doesn't involve killing Malia.
I wish TPTB would make up their minds what they want to do with Lori. First, she was presented in a kind of antagonistic role as the governor's tattletale. That plot was almost immediately dropped and she became part of the team, but just a regular team member like all the other team members. But then they occasionally throw in weird stuff like tonight. Seriously, out of all the people in that group who are close to Steve, Lori scores the hug? And it wasn't even a friendly 'I'm glad you're okay' hug; you'd think it was her and Steve who were engaged, not the bucketload of other actual engaged people in the episode. It was just an odd level of intimacy for two people who have never even socialized outside of the team setting, unlike Steve going spearfishing with Chin or hiking with Danny. And it was all one-sided. If TPTB really do want Lori to be a love interest for Steve, maybe they should tell Steve that because he doesn't seem to have noticed yet.
Looking forward to discovering who, what, or where "Shelburn" is. Not to mention how to spell it. Anyone have their closed-captioning on?

I loved this episode; it pulled my whumper strings, big time. I was disappointed that Kono didn't get to go play with the rescue team though. I miss her ass-kicking and her ability to discover all the dead bodies.

And thanks for the spelling. It was driving me nuts because I could think of 3 or 4 different ways to spell it and I hate spelling things wrong.
