H50 --3x10 Thoughts

Hearts in my eyes guys. \o/ \o/

A bit disjointed, random reaction.




I loved everything about this eppy.

It was fun, there was action and suspense. Just all the squee.

Steve wanting to teach the girls how to hunt and gut a pig, because those are real survival skills?

OMG. Adorable. And of course Danny is apologizing to the troop leader and the girls are all intrigued.

Tom played a really good, deranged bad guy.

I LOVED the girl scouts, how they were shown to be clever, smart, and able to handle a stressful situation.

The girl scout leader? She was awesome. I adored how she went along with Danny, how sassy and confident she was.

Steve and the little girl were amazing together. Steve is so good with kids. I loved how he drove Tom nuts and during any other time I think he would have taken Tom out, would have taken the risk and probably would have been successful, but his responsibility was to the little girl and he put her interests ahead of a rescue attempt that could have gone wrong.

When she hugged him? aska;kskal;ksalkskasl

I was even surprised by the partner that showed up.

The little girl? She was fantastic. And of course she wants to grow up and marry Steve. :)

The pacing and balance between Danny and Steve's storyline was tense and exciting while giving enough to the Kono and Adam subplot that didn't feel jarring.

This was a fantastic mix of character stuff, action and humor. I really, really enjoyed it. And the ending with Danny and Grace was cute with a hint for some trouble with Kono because of Adam's brother.

Can't wait to re-watch when I'm less tired and without commercials.

All the flailing!!!!!

Don't we all?

::flails along with you::

Steve was so sweet with Lucy! Who was kind of awesome. I really enjoyed this too, so much good stuff going on! Loved the girls, and loved how in awe they were of Steve. So adorable. Loved everything about this ep!

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
It is amazing how much Steve has changed around kids. I love seeing canon bits of pieces of him slowly assimilating back into civilian life. And the girls were so in awe of Steve. Meep!

[identity profile] gaelicspirit.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
OMG. I. Love. Your. Icon.

...that is all.

[identity profile] stellarmeadow.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, to all of this! (Though I'm hoping for some more Steve and Danny onscreen together screen time at some point this season, but this one didn't feel like it was missing it that much.)

And really, who wouldn't want to grow up and marry Steve? Even Danny wants to grow up and marry Steve! :)

[identity profile] azziria.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Of course Danny wants to grow up and marry Steve :)

[identity profile] stellarmeadow.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
He really does. :)

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
I've loved the Steve and Danny screen time together and the sowing mixing the team up and I have no doubt we'll get more quailt Steve and Dan centeric stuff in the future. TPTB know that is pure gold :)

Rock climbing accidents, boatjacking, camping nightmare...I wonder what is next? Volcano adventure got crazy???

[identity profile] stellarmeadow.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Ooo, volcano adventure...that's just begging to happen!

[identity profile] gaelicspirit.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
So great! Adorable, tense, totally entertaining. Pretty much YES to everything you said above.

And I have to say, I love the subtle look of relief when Danny finds Steve (in this episode as well as every other time Steve's been in trouble) and he's okay. It's like his shoulders roll in and all the tension drains out of his body and for a split second, only his bones hold him up. But then he has to cover it up with a sarcastic comment or two. Love it!

Oh, also - Kono!! Eeep! How creepy was Michael just standing over them? And you know that whole "putting the gun back" thing is totally going to come back and bit her in the ass.

Great episode!

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. The look of relief was beautiful. Upon re-watch, Steve was in such mortal danger in the end. Wow.

Just reading your eppy reviews makes me wish you wrote fic in the fandom. You know these character so well and wow, you have such a way with words!

[identity profile] gaelicspirit.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I'd actually love to write another sometime. *fangirl moment* I'm just so enamored with yours I couldn't compare. :)

But...maybe sometime I'll venture back this way. It was writing a tag to 2.10 that got me watching religiously in the first place. LOL!

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
*pish posh on the comparions*

We need more creative, amazing writers in this fandom and I KNOW you love the angst, so that is the frosting on an already awesome cake! I want to read all the fics because I have needs, too! :)

[identity profile] verasteine.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
I adored Steve and Lucy. I just went *flail!* at everything to do with them. There was more in this ep, and I enjoyed it and all, but mostly it was just *flail*.

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Flail is an apt name. *nods*

[identity profile] ms-artisan.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Flaily! Definitely one of my faves. :DD

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
So much fuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

[identity profile] dogeared.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I am so right there with you on the rewatching. :D ADORABLE!!

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I can't wait to rewatch it without commercials!!!

[identity profile] lunachickk.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
And then I just found out Amazing Scout Leader was Larry Teng's wife! How cool is that!

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I just found out, too!!! How awesome is that???

[identity profile] eumelia.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
All those little girls are my heroes! I want to write each and everyone of them a biography! :D

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Awwwww. They were amazing additions!!

[identity profile] umbiquitin.livejournal.com 2012-12-11 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Finally got to see the episode as well and like you I loved it:-). Not that I was looking or anything but Steve/Alex has a phone in his back pocked all through the episode...Yeah, I'm always very focused when watching...on the very important details;-)

[identity profile] kristen999.livejournal.com 2012-12-12 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ha. Really? It had to be Alex, but that is too funny. I can't wait to look for that during my rewatch.

[identity profile] mcparrot.livejournal.com 2012-12-17 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
That was hellishly good fun. And Steve LOOKED superb. His eyes when he left Lucy in the bushes... they seemed so blue.

Personally I was really surprised that Steve just accepted the badguy's bullshit story as to what he was doing in the bush. I mean, lone guy, "lost" in the bush by a girl scout campsite? Hello????

Loved the leader lady. I was so pleased she wasn't twiggly thin and gorgeous. But removing the bullet from Danny's arm with a swizz army knife, in front of the kids????

Yeah, there were some real WTF moments and plot holes big enough to sink a truck but oh it was fun.

I anticipate lots of fic from this one.
And boy, this one felt like someone filmed fic. Steve in jeopardy and Danny to the rescue. With cute kids.

:)
