Let’s pic(k) Steve!

Episode 10.05

Horror Movie Quote Edition

Now this was an episode I enjoyed – if you can say that for a Halloween episode. But I have to say I liked the storyline with Steve, Junior, Duke and Noelani way more. The other one was over the top, predictable and with a really weird unsatisfying ending.

But how awesome is it to see Duke more involved? And how incredibly awesome are Steve and Noelani together? And just thinking I could have more of the wonderful McJunior if someone else finally decides to go back to Jersey? These four actors bring it! In every scene. So I am a little bit miffed we clearly got robbed of Steve and Junior scenes at the end. There’s something on the editing floor, I am sure.

I am not convinced of the Quinn/Tani pairing. It was their second time, and their second failure. Tsk tsk.

Another thing: The boy who played Tunde was great! This kid can act!

I was disappointed that there was no Steve/Max hug, but we got these awesome Steve/Noelani moments instead, so all is good in my world.

Now let’s go. Read the captions with a deep and raspy voice. It’s scary times! Muahaha! ~leiCa

OK, people, I think the time has come to talk about the elephant in the room. Danny.

What is your take on where they are going with the character? Have been going for quite a few years.

Personally, I think the character had potential in the very beginning. But his behavior and his constant negativity and calling Steve names got old really quickly. I didn’t like that, and I failed to see the great detective in him. I think they failed to portray him like one.

And in later years he just got nastier and nastier. In 3.15, Hookman, he was called “a nasty human being”. And not by one of the bad guys. I think that hits the nail on the head. That is what Danny has become to me, a nasty human being. A person I wouldn’t want to spend any amount of time with.

And quite frankly, I think the show benefits greatly from his absence. It feels more rounded, smoother and way more relaxed.

So, what is your take on the character? Please remember, this discussion is about the character. At a later point this season we will have discussion posts about various actors. But please remember to separate the actor from the character.

Looking forward to see Max again. And it looks like one detective is missing again.
