I have never liked Steve much but episode 107 made me literally annoyed, the way they wrote him like some one-person Rambo squad, all "get out of my way, I'm an ex-Seal, I'm better than a whole squad of SWAT people!" Jesus! Also, Steve's sister rubs me wrong like whoa. But in this case, it's all on the actress, Taryn Manning. Ugh.
What I adored on the other hand, was episode 103, the one with Chin and Kono's cousin. When he accused Chin of being dirty and ran him out of the interrogation room... The way Chin gripped the handles on the glass door, breathing hard, when he thought he was alone - and then Kono was there and he immediately pulled himself together. It hurts him so bad that people think badly of him but he pretends to be stoic about it...
Another ep I loved was 108, the one where Danny's old partner was killed and accused of taking bribes. The way Danny became so angry at Steve for not believing him, for not trusting him that the guy was a good cop. I loved that Chin had Danny's back against both Steve and Kono in this case. And that Danny, now that he saw what IA could do to a cop, told Chin that he was sorry that nobody had his back back then... Danny didn't trust Chin 100% in the pilot, you could see it from his expression, but now that he was the one fighting for someone who was not dirty, no way, and against all odds, I think it finally clicked for him and from that moment on, he stood by Chin all the way.
Also, seriously, the product placement for Bing was so painful, oi!
