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.

Thank you for making this. I love a lot of things about H50, but their entire approach to police work is just... yeah.

In the first episode, or one of the first, Steve tells someone,
'We're the new kind of cops.' Because, of course, police brutality is a fresh and awesome idea, as opposed to something as old and unshiny as you can get. And I feel like that's something the writers really believe, or want us to believe. It's good to see that entire ball of ugh highlighted.

We're the new kind of cops

Oh my god, yes, that line absolutely kills me - like it's new and revolutionary to torture suspects and witnesses, like we haven't been trying to root that out of police departments for over 100 years.

I'm glad you liked the vid - thanks for watching!
