This was actually a pretty compelling episode. I liked it alot.

Season 2 has been very uneven. This was IMO one of the better episodes and surprisingly it wasn't a Steve/Danno centered episode.

For someone who was mostly a cliched & insignificant quirky character, I thought they did a good job with Max's storyline in this episode. Some interesting stuff with his backstory. At least they explained why he has a Jewish last name.

Was a little surprised the church caretaker was the killer. Everything pointed to the assistant.

Nice job by Max shanking the guy at the end.

and at least Alex O'Loughlin was nice enough to appear in a 1 minute cameo during his drug rehab.

Didn't care for the Kamekona side story.

Still surprised that McGarrett can just up and leave without reporting to the Governor.

The Shrimp truck story was more for comic relief. I don't think we were supposed to think too hard about it.

I figured as much with Max's story being pretty heavy, but there are times they really don't need that B story.

Red Dog

Why not? Did you forget when the whole team just upped and left for North Korea?

Anyhow, just not the same show w/o laughable Rambo antics and stunts. And Max is beyond annoying.

Whoever said this show was sci fi without the sci fi was right - it exists in its own world, which is similar to ours but has completely different rules. I'm not complaining - I like this show's approach, it's a lot of fun.

I like Max
even more so now that he freed himself, sat himself back into the chair like nothing happened and then stabbed the bad guy with a foot long piece of glass
