let's be honest, I've never met a cliche I didn't like

[angelgazing]

Because there is no such thing as too much of a good thing, especially if you live in paradise:

The Hawaii Five-0 Cliche Meme

Fake boyfriends, accidental marriages, and amnesia, OH MY!

Whatever your poison, whatever you favorite cliche, it's open and allowed here. Want to see Steve and Danny make out for cover and discover their ~true feelings? What about when they have to pretend to be boyfriends to keep cover? When they're forced to share a bed all ~platonic-like for weeks and keep waking up cuddling and then can't sleep without each other? Maybe Grace playing matchmaker? The one where everyone but them realizes they're married? Danny gets de-aged to six and Steve has to take care of him? Steve gets magicked into a tiny, angry kitten and/or dragon? They one where they must cuddle for warmth to survive?

Maybe that isn't your flavor. Maybe you want the one where Kono is a punk rock princess that keeps getting into trouble? Or where Chin loses his memory and thinks he's back on the HPD force. Maybe the one where Kono is secretly a criminal mastermind, working the team from the inside. Or where she has the chance return to her pro surfing career and must choose. How about one where Chin goes on an epic road trip?

There is no bad cliche! Whatever your favorite, I promise I want to read/see it, too.

... yes ... yes it would be ♥-♥

But be honest, would you watch if not for the married couple aspect that they bring to the show?

NOTE TO DISNEY: Please to stop making me cry. I never thought of it as a ploy to make happier endings happier, I just assumed Disney animators were passive aggressive >.> ... BUT YOUR IDEA IS MORE OPTIMISTIC XD

HARDEST QUESTION EVERRRR. Honestly, I don't know. On one hand, this show is filled with eyecandy (HI DDK HI! *swoons* Shallow reason to watch a show, I know, but what do you want? The spirit is inexperienced and the flesh is young! It is not my fault!) and even taking out the married couple aspect the characters are pretty nice. On the other hand, there is no plot to speak of and you have to suspend your disbelief regularly... Idk, I'd probably watch it but if I missed an episode once in a while I wouldn't be heartbroken?

Well, the passive-aggressive approach is still a good theory, but I guess they just play up on the fairytale format and bring everything to the extreme. I mean, they always start with a nice, comforting scene followed by a slightly upsetting one that gets resolved right away and go back to the peaceful setting so you're lulled into a a false sense of safety. At this point, they replay the same pattern that introduced the first mild peacebreaker, only instead of being solved, it gets extremely nasty and therefore you get extremely upset because you weren't expecting it. At this point, whatever good thing happen, you're more likely to receive with open arms and a whole lot of joy because you'd give anything to forget about Bambi's mum not coming back *totes didn't write a paper on this, nope >_>*

Loooool I'm in the same boat as you (as far as the spirit being inexperienced and the flesh being young is concerned). The four main characters are attractive but I'm a bit fixated on Daniel Dae Kim and Alex O'loughlin, no lie. Grace Park comes in at a close third. So yeah, I'm not going to penalize you or something for having eyes XD

I know what you mean though, I'm hoping that the writers get their act together at some point because I kind of like to think when I'm watching television strange, yeah, I know. Not being able to figure out an entire episode within the first fifteen minutes of the show would be good rotfl. The suspension of disbelief thing doesn't bother me quite that much. I think it's funny when Steve blows up doors and Danny straps people to the hood of his car. I dunno, I think it's funny rotfl.

Hmm, that's very ... logical and sneaky of them. I've got this extreme love hate relationship with Disney. I mean, I adored so many of the Disney originals growing up and, to some degree, still do but when you sit down and think about the messages that Disney movies in general send to children all over the world you have to wonder what kind of bad crack Walt was smoking. Yeah, I get it, he grew up in a different time but that doesn't make the often racist, misogynistic and morally questionable actions of Disney's cartoon characters any less deplorable. Don't feel bad, love, you def. aren't the only person to write a paper on Disney. My psych professor freshman year legit didn't know whether to laugh at my topic choice or applaud my ranting :)

Lol this show is full of pretty! I can't be blamed for having a pulse!

No no, I get it. The show is nice, but it would be even more enjoyable if the subplot (because the MARRIAGE IS THE MAIN PLOT, LET'S BE HONEST!) were a little bit more engaging.

Right? I pretty much grew up on milk and Disney movies and when I got old enough to understand that some things within those movies were not right I was very distraught, because I thought the world of them; I was sure they could do no wrong and then, suddenly, I realized they were not as perfect as I thought :(
Lololol, I have many thoughts on Disney and their approach to storytelling. It is a fascinating topic :)
