HAWAII FIVE-0 “Ike Maka” Review (Daemon's TV)

HAWAII FIVE-0 “Ike Maka” Season 2 Episode 9 – In this episode the Five-0′s are on a case involving hot muscle cars and one mummy. Nope, it’s not Halloween again – the dead guy was just trying to cover up his identity. Turns out he was in witness protection and the bad guys were hot on his trail. But before he can get away with his loving girlfriend, the doc doing his surgery messes up and he dies on the table. Doc tries to cover his tracks by setting it up to look like the victim was murdered.

I enjoyed seeing lots of muscle cars in this ep (we all know how much I love me a hot muscle car), but again the most interesting stuff for me in this one was all the “family” drama happening behind the case.

First up there’s Max, who seems to be very upset at Steve and Danny but neither of them knows why. I got a kick out of him completely ignoring them both, and the way Steve tried to make nice-nice. Turns out they both ignored Max’s invitation to his Grease theme movie night because they thought it was spam. Oops.

Then there was Danny and Steve as roommates. I’m sorry we only got to see the one scene of them in the same house because I think that storyline could’ve been chock full of hilarious moments. The two of them arguing over the TV was perfect and I have no trouble believing that a city guy like Danny would have a problem sleeping to the sound of waves. I can’t wait to see what happens if Danny really does move into a house on Steve’s block. That might be almost as good as them being roommates.

My favorite bits..

Realizing suddenly that anyone who wants a classic car on the island has to be pretty dedicated. I bet it costs a lot to get those suckers over there.

Laughing at all the cars in shipping containers, after I just had that last thought.

Ahh! A mummy!

Wait. A Danny and Steve sleepover? Too funny!

Danny claiming that he was watching TV through the blanket.

Boys, boys, boys – Danny turn the TV down and Steve wear earplugs. Such as easy problem to solve.

Trying to figure out what to call this one..a couch-gument?

“Get your pants on, we’re going to work.” – Well if there weren’t any slashers before..oh dear. LOL!

Max giving Steve and Danny attitude for being late and then completely ignoring them. Hm, interesting.

Danny immediately assuming that Max was mad at Steve and the subsequent argument about who offends more people. Honestly, that’s a tough one.

“Let’s go find out who pimped these rides.” – LOL, great line.

A Spam air freshener? Ick.

The ultra-chipper way Steve said “Hi Max!” – Did that creep anyone else out? It so didn’t sound like him.

Haha! Car thieves fell for it.

“I wonder if it comes with black mold.”
*stare* “Too soon?”

The way Danny looked down when Suzie asked him what he would do if the person he loved moved halfway across the world.

Trying very hard not to laugh at the way Danny’s hair looked in the wind on the ship..and failing miserably.

The way Danny and Steve got Murphy to talk. I loved the discussion about what flag the ship was flying under.

Nice! Just when I was grumping about Kono not going in with the rest of the team, she saves the day with an amazing shot.

“Enjoy Federal prison, it’s really nice this time of year. See ya.” – Ha!

Okay wait. I’ve watched enough NCIS to know this one – how come Max didn’t know that the gunshot had happened post-mortem? Hmmm…

The boys fighting to get out of the door when they saw Weston dressed up in her Sandie outfit.

Finally finding out why Max was pissed at Steve and Danny. Aw man, now I wish they had gotten the invitation. Anyone else dying to see them dressed as greasers? Danny already has the hair so….

Three words – next week’s preview!
