5-0 has some serious ECHELON powers today. ACTIVATE THE PHONE SCANNING GUN! ACTIVATE THE PHONE GPS TRACKER! CSI ZOOM INTO THE BOARDING PASS! "I'm sure the killer appreciates [the rental car company's policy of wiping GPS data for privacy]." Abduction of suspects and making them believe they're going to die, pointless misdirection... yech.

This was the first episode I actually didn't like. The last ten minutes were great, but I have a hard time imaginging the uncovering of Shellburne will reasonably explain all the effort Joe is putting into this obfuscation.
Yea I tend to agree with this. They need to start leaking hints about who Shellburn is because I'm starting to lose interest in it. Gotta drop a hint every now and then, even HIMYM does that.

They're keeping this Shellburn thing almost too tight. I'm to the point as to where I'm lost as to who/what it could/is supposed to be.

Or blackmail?

Hell, maybe they should've busted his rear end for sticking spyware/trojans on the kids' computers. I would've liked to have seen Kono put her high heel through his teeth just for that, but maybe that's because it hit home seeing as I was starting from scratch with my netbook less than 24 hours later because some fucker like him wrote a virus that ended up on my computer & I couldn't get on the internet.

If the husband insists on sleeping with his wife by force, it would not be considered rape since this is a right granted to him


Shellburn is so nebulous at this point that it's probably Steves mom.

I'm totally and utterly convinced that this is true now. How else do you complicate daddy issues even more than bringing back a non-existent mommy.

Also Joe is banging her. In Japan. With tentacles.

Shellburn sounds like the name of a global conglomerate. Maybe Steve will by fighting the most dangerous enemy of all, a corporation.

It's Steve's dad, he isn't dead. I am absolutely sort of sure of it now although maybe it's his mom.

I too am getting tired of the John Locke "I can't tell you blah blah" act, I half expect Matthew Fox to come flying out of the jungle and start yelling at him at this point.

Coulda been his dad but I was pretty sure they found his corpse in his house with a hole in his head. His mom however disappeared in a car bomb. Maybe she's some secret super spy or w/e.

This is the kind of thing I am always thinking about. What happens to all the crooks that they bring in on lesser charges in order to get to the bad guy of the week? Do they just let them go for cooperating or what? For example, the kid making the videos, but ESPECIALLY the principle banging his student. Sure he couldn't go to jail (I guess, I don't know too much about Hawaii's age of consent laws), but did Steve and Danno even reveal the info and get him fired or something?

Didn't the dead girl this week have bruising on her wrists that they said indicated shed been restrained? Then when they showed the murder didn't the guy just choke her while her unrestrained wrists flapped around?

The Man Who Comes In Pieces!

The Subway product placement in last night's episode was so gloriously blatant, it put the Windows phone and Skydrive to shame.

I'm really losing interest in this season. The main plots are generally serviceable, but the show just seems to be spinning its wheels with all the Joe stuff. It's not interesting at all.

I don't buy Joe's shellburn explanation at all. And if that really is the thruth of the matter then it's kinda disappointing and underwhelming after all that mystery and secrecy.

That was horrific. It wasn't discrete like some product placement, instead being an "I'm a heavy guy, but I'm eating healthy with an amazing $5 Chicken Teriyaki sub from Subway restaurants!" in-show advertisement.

Subway seems to be the worst offender in the "Really blatant and disruptive in-episode advertisement" With all the Subway product placement in Chuck, I think they might have bought the whole series by now. I'm just waiting for the entirely Subway related episode. And then...

This show has nothing on Pawn Stars. I think next season they're going to move into a Subway™.

Do all Hawaiian Airlines flights arrive on the cargo ramp, now? I seem to remember them parking at the terminal just like my Delta flight when I was there in 2010.

(I know filming in the terminal might have been a pain in the rear end, but the UPS plane in the background in the "surveillance footage" was easy to pick up.)

Ok, this was one of the better episodes I've seen in a while. Entertaining last 10 minutes or so, especially Danny letting off some steam by shooting the guy in the knee.

They're definitely falling into Unoriginal Modern Television Syndrome, but the show's still got its charm.

I was just thinking today that Daniel Dae Kim has been living in Hawaii for 8 years now, since he went right from LOST to this.
