I realize that picking out WTF moments in this show is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel. I'm frequently capable of ignoring them, but when there's very little in the way of plot or character moments, there's really not much left to distract me from them.
• Boys? When you're using clock positions, three o'clock is ninety degrees to your right. It is not directly in front of you. Please to be looking to your right when someone tells you sharks are circling at your three o'clock.
• Why did Kono drop a shipping container on the drug smuggler? She was armed, she's a sniper, and she admittedly didn't know how to use a crane. She could have easily killed her teammates by accident. Plus, those cranes do not move containers either quickly or quietly. Everybody should have seen and heard it coming, and even if they didn't, she could have shot everybody a dozen times over in the time it took her to play with the crane. (Although I may have to forgive this one because it ended in surprise Danny badassery and that makes up for a lot.)
• You don't get a helicopter pilot's license by playing flight sims, even if it is top of the line and even if you're playing it on Steve McGarrett's couch. And there's no way Kamekona managed to get a commercial pilot's license, which is what he would need to run tours, if he can't even look out his side window without nearly plowing into the ocean. Yes, I know, it's meant to be comic relief, but even as a joke this went so far past plausible it's outside of helicopter range.
I did like the surprise Danny badassery, Danny being the one on the team with experience on drug cases, and all the scenes between Steve and Danny in the car, but generally this episode was just way too choppy, and a lot of things seemed to happen for no real reason other than the script said so.
