What was up with the hashtag #H50OhNoKono during the opening?
Stupid CBS.
They are playing the whole social media game wrong with crap like that. Pop something like that up and we know something's up.

Got to say, was very surprised by who was killed in the opening. Cause no one was thinking of them in the death pool.
Not by a long shot. CBS pulled a good surprise there.

My only beef with the show is where is the rest of the police? Everytime they have to bust in a house it's only 5.0. It's like there are no other cops besides them.

^ Actually, they had back up when they found the dead agent last week. Everyone else is eating malasadas.
I just think that it was rather un-Chin Ho to do something to get Baldwin out of prison. And it's all a video, man, ask for proof of life! Lucky Kono is a surfer, right? So it's not like she can't hold her breath or swim. They just threw every cliffhanger in that they could to make anything stick.

Gee. I wonder if Kono is going to drown.
How exactly did Chin Ho get the guy out of prison all on his own? Ah, the fantasy world of H50.

The first 15 minutes or so were action packed, and I liked the very end, but do they really think viewers think Kono is dead?

I thought it was a pretty awesome episode. Looks like the hot badass chick is being typecast now, as she was also a villain on The Event.
I didn't like the transition of Kono going into her house, the commercial break, and then Chin Ho getting the dirty cop released. Felt like there was a deleted scene.

Agreed it felt like maybe a scene was deleted, but didn't Chin Ho get the dirty cop released?

You know Baldwin was right about Chin Ho getting away with it - he didn't steal the money but he did obstruct justice and shield a felon and as punishment was reinstated, promoted and appointed to an elite crime-fighting unit. As for Kono, what happened to her when the rest of the unit found out she was conducting a clandestine affair with the head of the yakuza? Apparently nothing! It's a good thing I like the show anyway because it is dumb, dumb, dumb.

At the risk of getting ripped for posting a gossip blind item... this is from Crazy Days and Nights. It was posted a week ago.

That whole blog is vague bullshit. No way it's Park. She's been married for about 8 years to a millionaire Korean Real Estate guy. That blog makes the person sound like some clingy sex starved psycho.

Not to mention that whole story sounds like the show in question has been on longer then 5-O has actually been on the air.

Agreed - that's two strikes against that gossip being about 5-0.
I've become numb to cliffhangers like these. Unless a lead actor is leaving a show, it is a safe bet that the leads are safe and the supporting cast are at risk. Will the lady doctor whose name you can't remember make it? I'm not sure I care. I'd feel more worry if the shrimp truck guy was shot!
This was a fun show to watch. I am truly looking forward to more fantasy world cop antics next year!

All I can say is I've learned not to be shocked any more at the differences between public and private personas of celebrities.

The Kono hashtag graphic at the beginning was so stupid and a total spoiler.Other than that, it was a pretty good finale. Probably one of the better episodes for what was an otherwise inconsistent season. Lots of action in the 1st 40+ minutes.
Nice to see Taylor Cole again as another hot badass bitch. And if your going to show a hot chick like her, that's the kind of bra I want to see her in. 
Not that ugly grey sports bra that Marnie wore in Girls. Regarding Chin getting Billy Baldwin out of jail.....Remember they are 5-fucking-O, they have full immunity and override all law enforcement.
With Michelle Borth (Catherine aka McG's girl) becoming a full regular next season, I wonder if she will be the new replacement for Lori on the team.
and yeah I'm totally in suspense on Kono's future.BTW, WTF? Kono is still seeing the Yakuza guy?

I have to say that this was probably some of Daniel Dae Kim's best acting on the show.

This show is consistenly exciting
But that girl who was bascially a common crim had way too much skills. She had the skills of a high level assassin
