ITN METER: 1*/10-STARS
Awful direction, nonsensical writing and cheesy Hawaiian proverbs color this one! After being trapped in barbershop/elevator hell, H50 brings us trapped in the ocean. First, there was no intro theme credits for this one. The ugly one, Kono, is hugging people on the beach. Next frame? Lost at sea on a surf board in the middle of the night, in a storm. WTF?? Episode went back and forth between night and day. Did she spend 27 days lost at sea, sucking on that orange? No one looks for her. Is this all a dream? No. Just horrible writing and painful direction.
No Danno in this one, few secs of everybody else. If you want to spend 1 hr looking at a little Chinese girl and her mother surfing, actors new to this show, and be bored senseless, this is the one for you. Me, I changed to Stabler and the AIDS kid on SVU. Switched back. Same delusional crap for 50 min!
At the end, just as unexplained and stupidly as the ugly girl found herself on the surfboard in the ocean, she is out and walking the road. Night is now day. No dawn. Whatever. Oh yeah and some meth lab is busted, he gets interrogated then let go by Chin. Huh??
If you missed the funny you've come to love in my reviews, that's the way you are sure to feel when wasting 55 min on this stupid episode: something's missing and it taint funny! :( Just lots of cheesy slo-mo and muted people talking without speaking. As in no sound. I guess the tightwads saved on dialogue (less dough for writers & actors) and fuel (no car chases here) etc!
2 billion negative stars, if I could. Don't be a d-u-m: don't buy this DVD, taint worth it and this episode ought to officially spell swan song for what is now one crappy show!! Cancel it: like Jay Sherman used to say, it stinks!
