Some thoughts about the Steve/Danny Relationshipt (Hawaii Five-0)
Heya...
I thought a lot about "my new obsession" over the last days, especially about Steve/Danny and the "relationship" they are having and where the writers could have head to... and since I'm always "up for discussion", I thought, I could maybe share "my" opinion about this... especially because I REALLY don't know what to think about anymore... *lol* I thought I knew, but I'm not so sure anymore...
I have to admit: When I saw the first episode, I wasn't very thrilled at all... of course I noticed the "tension" between Steve an Danny, but becaues the show itself didn't hook me "immediately", I didn't think all too much about it... then there was the 2nd episode which I TOTALLY loved and adored and all of sudden I fell for the show...
and of course for Steve/Danny and whatever it is they are having...
But well, since I love this show, I'm now REALLY thinking about, which direction the writers will choose...
I'd like to compare it for example to "Bones" and the relationship between Booth and Bones... there always was some "tension" right from the start, and even if they are STILL not together or close to being together, it's more then obvious, that at SOME point they will be... maybe it will mean the end of the show, I don't know, but since they are really dragging it out for SOOOOO long, I think it will be the Season finale sooner or later... the wedding or something like that... them finally getting together...
but it's not as if there "never happened" anything between them... the writers are always throwing some bones... for example in Season 3 when they kissed underneath the mistle toe... or last season, with Booth REALLY wanting to "go for it"...
Now I'm asking myself, what the writers of "Hawaii Five-0" want... I mean, it's obvious that they want to show Steve and Danny as straight cool guys... I mean, why else would they bring "Catherine" into the game at all if not to prove that Steve is "oh so straight"...
but on the other hand they are "throwing bones" either, like in the last episode with the "Who are you talking to, your wife?" - "My partner" conversation... or the "You miss me, don't you?" thing...
It's as if the writers know EXACTLY what they are doing and that they really do this on purpose...
But I don't think they are REALLY heading into the direction of getting Steve and Danny together at some point, or do they?
I mean, I'm absolutely aware of the fact that the "main thing" of the show will be the "solving crimes" suspect, like it's always in "such shows"... It's in BONES too... or in for example 21 JUMP STREET and so on... but at some point, there IS some romance involved... mostly... even in "The Mentalist" we already HAD this kind of thing (and I haven't given up hope yet, that there will happen something again between 2 of the characters :P), so I'm asking myself, if at some point Steve and Danny will both hook up with girls or if they will stay single and have this "awkward kind of relationship"...
I mean, for ME it's always "more interesting" seeing something that "is not there" or better to say "something that they don't show"... I'm a slash whore like whoa, and the people who know me know this either, and I always had a thing for "pairings that don't really exist"... like in Prison Break Michael and Sucre or Lincoln and Alex and there is a loooooooooooong list of this... "my" pairings usually DON'T get together at all *lol*
Personally I don't think we will ever actually see Steve and Danny kissing, but on the other hand... if the writers REALLY wanna show how "straight" they are, why all this "hints" that they are not? Why all this comments about them "having something together"?
I'm a bit confused to be honest *lol*
and the other thing is: I don't know much about Alex or Scott... I mean, nothing "personal", like if they even would act something like that... I mean, I don't think they are homophobic at all, don't misunderstand me, but there ARE actors who prefer NOT to play a gay role or kiss people of the same sex, even for a movie or a tv-show... I don't know if Alex or Scott would actually "do it"... but I would love them if so *lol* =D
So well... what do YOU think? Do you think there WILL happen something at some point? Or are the writers just "playing" with the watcher's fantasies?
I mean, honestly... if they would actually be "brave" enough to go for something like that, that would be a first, would it? At least *I* have never seen something like that in a crime show... a lot of man/female main characters hooking up but never some male/male main characters hooking up =p I would love to see something like that for once =D

I don't know all too much about the american Channels to be honest, but homosexuality is still a big no-go in most american tv-shows where it's pretty common in german TV at all...

Pretty much. It's fun looking for subtext, plus most of the time when a relationship becomes canon the writers mess it up.
'I don't know all too much about the american Channels to be honest, but homosexuality is still a big no-go in most american tv-shows where it's pretty common in german TV at all...'
Tell me about it, but than I noticed that sex in general is still a big no-no of American tv when it doesn't seem that big of a deal in other countries.

And well... I'm really glad to live in a country like this... *points to icons* These are all scenes from German Telenovelas, air around 7 p.m. in the evening... or better to say, between 7 and 8 and they are all canon... and sometimes you even see "gay sex" at this time of the evening... so well... I think I'm kinda spoilt in this case ;-)

Sadly. I've never been able to figure out why so many writers are so bad at writing their characters in in-character relationships.

Tell me about it. I might live in America, but I watch quite a few British tv shows and I'm always a little surprised by how much sex and nudity (not to mention gay characters) they put in their shows compared to American shows.

I think, "good working relationships" are always a problem in tv-shows, because they tend to "get boring" and so the writers have to do something to mess them up again... something evil and cruel, so that this will take as long as possible to recover from it -.-

That is so true. *hugs*
