#H50 episode 8.25

McDanno and the neverending story of a restaurant that is nothing more than a construction site - Pics from H50 episode 8.25 season finale 

Dear TPTB do us all a favor and kill off the restaurant plot. After 25 episodes we still got nowhere with it. It takes up a lot of precious screentime. McDanno seems to be reduced to this neverending construction site, and they are barely working cases together anymore. While the team is hunting down Hawaii’s most wanted, Danny is doomed to find himself involved in lively discussions with Uncle Vito (this character added nothing to the show IMHO) at the said construction site.

Statement of PL about the restaurant plot at the beginning of season 8. Guess as EP he knew all along that this was never going to happen. Episode 8.10 would’ve worked out well without this restaurant drama. It is nothing but a dangling carrot (like so many other things on the show, meanwhile) to keep us tuning in. Only, we are not stupid, and by now it would be time to either proceed swiftly with it or let it die once and for all. I don’t mind Vito's solution of burning down the place (at least the character was good for this one line). It could happen accidentally or as revenge from a former perp... Just saying.

Pretty please don’t drag that into season 9, we had enough of it already and want the boys (if they are on board) back on the streets TOGETHER; SOLVING CRIMES! 

Pardon my little rant, but I am so fed up with this part of the show as it really leads nowhere. And it is no longer funny or anything close to it.

i have been randomly rewatching episodes of h50 and today the dice lead me to 8.25, and there’s a lot of stuff in that episode that i could ramble on about (the restaurant subplot was still alive! nahele makes an appearance! steve is watching an instructional video on how to boil water, fjdkfdj) but what unexpectedly jumped out at me was the bit just after steve first gets aboard the russian submarine that appeared at the hawaiian coastline out of nowhere, and he introduces himself as a guy who runs a “law enforcement task force on this island” and the russian commander says, “you’re not military?” and steve says “i was.”

that’s past tense! i have feelings about the fact that that’s past tense, because the navy has always been a huge part of steve’s identity (i’m pretty sure it was steve’s identity for a long time) and apparently, by this point, he feels comfortable talking about that as something that used to be true, but isn’t anymore. he has other things to base his life around now, like five-0, their little found ohana, and the very settled future he’s building with danny.

HAWAII FIVE-0 Episode 8.25 (season finale) Two more Sneak Peeks

SuperSEAL Steve saves the island from the Russian Invasion. Alone. The team is just there for decoration. Sorry, for oozing sarcasm. Danny is perfectly capable of Russian, why didn’t he take him along? Maybe Danny forgot that he can speak Russian. Like he forgot that he is a badass cop from Jersey or how he and Rachel met for the first time. Where have all the good writers gone? PL must be a pain in the ass as a boss.

keku43🎥. Had the privilege to co-star with this Ozzie, Alex O'Loughlin before I take a flight to his hometown next week. Hands down an awesome actor & individual. If I’m smiling this much on set, does it mean I’m loving what I do?🤷🏽‍♂️. Reflecting on the ventures that keep me smiling, maybe I need to do more of what puts a smile on my face and what’s fun🤔. Cheers 2 dat

Last scene of season 8 looks like it might be a Tani/Steve scene... hard to decipher.
