3.17/7.10 Relax the grip, king, nobody is stealing him away from you 😉

When introducing your totally platonic bestie it's important to maintain an iron grip on his shoulder at all times to make sure no one snatches him away from your grasp. You can shake his hand but that's all you are getting. The fact that they both do this, equally insane about each other yet oblivious xD

Random thoughts about Hawaii Five-0 rewatch: part 3/?

Last random thought for a while, because I need to find the time to skip between s6-s10 DVDs.

Thought #4: dude....love triangles only apply to romantically and sexually involved people, so no, don't worry, we won't "call it bromance", or: The Prom Date parallel, or: The Real Jersey Slip.

This one is really just on my mind, but since I was skipping between contents just to make sure everything was (probably) working (Danny's negativity is powerful in me), I happened to land onto two specific bits of dialogue which made me bitter-laugh so madly.

The incriminated dialogues are found in the s4 Shorelines (I think), and in the commentary (courtesy of Lenkov, O'Loughlin, and Park) for 3x17 aka the Pro Bowl date episode.

I'm reasoning backwards, because what the writers were saying, extensively, about the Billy storyline, was that they wanted to show a different side of McGarrett: he's sure of himself, self-confident, cocky even, when coming to his job and skills....but what about his feelings and personal life? He does have a vulnerable, doubtful side, one which makes him feel stuttering when coming to relationships. He trusts Catherine (ouch), and Billy too because they used to be battlefield brothers. But does he? So they explored this jealous side of him, one he's not proud of and which he desperately tries to stifle, deny, push down and downplay, because admitting it would mean feeling weak.

Also, Billy's death would've put Catherine in a place where she didn't have purpose in life anymore, where she felt guilty for something she was trained to prevent, bringing her to seek Steve's presence as a friend too (!!!!) to have a shoulder to cry onto.

This is absolute perfect, and I do appreciate the effort and the general masterplan...even if as usual, character-study is not the main interest for an older audience thus it was obviously shallow and just hinted at, in reality....and also they shamefully killed Billy after a few episodes instead of exploring this "love triangle" in depth.

That's it. That's the exact idiom they used for the Billy/Catherine arc. Love triangle. Which is absolutely the correct term for the situation. Let's pack it for later, and let's move to the 3x17 commentary.

What's so funny to me, is that when the (in)famous "Cath gets ditched because Steve is going with Danny" scene comes on screen, you hear PL almost absentmindedly perking up and laughing, saying something like "Oh, and here we are at the classic love triangle drama!".....then suddenly shuts up because he gets aware of what he just said.

At this point things get frenzy, they laugh, Grace cheers, and someone (PL? Alex?) hurries to add "C'mon Steve, don't be that man who ditches his girlfriend to go out with his best friend!", to save the situation.

Only problem is, we hear Alex (I think it’s his voice this time), saying "It's exactly like one of those awkward moments when you're asked for prom, but you turn down the person because you already have a date".

And we really remember when that other "prom date moment" was, right?

I really can't understand why they chose to ditch all this potential they were all clearly aware of, just for heteronormativity sake. A man and a woman can be platonic best friends. Two men can be completely romantically committed to each other. I really can't see what the problem is.

steve: this is my partner, detective danny williams, now, does that mean i have a boyfriend who happens to be a detective or we are cops or maybe, perhaps, both? yes.

today in steve's lessons™: when introducing your boyfriend partner to an old friend of your father's it's important to stroke his shoulder and back and then hold him closer in case a hawk swoops in and steals him, while you look away, i guess?

bonus you ain't fooling no one:

yah i know the football episode is just an hour long 'our network is hosting superbowl this year' promotion but i can't stop thinking about it -

danny gave up once in a lifetime tickets and a chance to meet his favourite quaterback, without even a moment's hesitation! to go to the hospital with steve, and it wasn't even a life-threatening injury, steve himself assumed he'd just go alone (on their football date), but no! it wasn't even a question for danny, he had to follow steve, in sickness and health, like a good husband.

steve, never the one to lag behind in the devoted husband department, passed the ball to danny in the stadium, WITH HIS INJURED ARM, still in visible pain, basically retraumatizing it, but silent and smiling and fond, watching danny run excitedly, the pain was worth it, to make up somehow for what danny sacrificed so he wouldn't go to the hospital alone, even tho danny would not have held it against him, because steve had been alone for way too long.

danny will never let steve go through unpleasant experiences alone just because he's used to doing everything alone and steve will make sure danny doesn't miss out on amazing opportunities just because he is such a caregiver that he never puts himself first.

they really have that "Gifts of the Magi "kind of thing going: both making sacrifices out of love for each other that ironically cancel each other's efforts but finding out the love they have is more precious than any gift.

#h50 3x17 #h50 season 3 #im so emo idek if i make sense #another great thing about the episode is that steve doesn't care about cath hanging out with peyton manning #but gets jealous when danny starts gushing about him #but yeah it's mostly the gift of the magi aspect of the episode #and the mcdanno relationship tbh #always competing what they can sacrifice for each other #in sickness and health #h50 #myh50 #mcdanno
