[giandujakiss]

AKA, how I spent my Sunday....

Song: Shock the Monkey by Peter Gabriel
Fandom: Hawaii Five-0

Summary: Full immunity and means.

Spoilers: Through 1x18

Sizes: 30 MB (540 x 360 .divx), 14 MB (420 x 280 .wmv)
Length: 2:14

Download from Sendspace: The .divx file is here and the .wmv file is here.

Notes: Honestly, this vid is more catharsis for me than anything else. I can't help 'shipping Steve and Danny, but I really resent the show for making it impossible for me to love them guilt-free, and for making me feel so ashamed about liking the parts that I like. So I felt like I had to at least register my objections in some way, however weak the effort may be, in between all the devouring of Steve/Danny first-time fic. IDEK.

Thanks so much for putting so clearly into a what's been bothering me for so long, but I never could find the words for. I have a soft problematic shows in general, because I love thinking about the problems and trying to break them down, but H50 has been eluding me. Here it is, though: I can watch the police brutality but I can't condone it. Like you, I had a slightly easier time with the less brutal episodes later in the season.

Your choices here are all so spot on, particularly the song and the ending sequence. Thank you, really and truly, for this vid.

I'm very glad you liked it! For me, it's not really that I enjoy breaking down the problems - more like I have to because I just can't enjoy the shows uncomplicatedly. And yes, I was glad they stopped turning the brutality in to such a punchline later in the season, although there were still moments that made me cringe :-(.
