Red meat television! After years of (sitcoms) politically correct t v shows, and the anti T V violence crowd blaming peoples actions on T V, video games etc action shows are back. For the red meat audience. Car chases, fights, gun battles etc all back in an hour show. I am waiting for the t v critics to demonize five-o like they did with C S I. If one watches the show they see a good script, strong acting, and that the detectives use logic and reasoning to solve their cases. Of course the show is hyped an leaves out a lot of the mundane police work, and the action is over the top for dramatic purposes, but Five 0 is still a good show. I like how the police break down who robbed the boat in this show by using technology. Of course there has to be a plot twist to keep the audience interested in the script and then the case ends in a dramatic conclusion. I give this episode an 8 out 10!

As these pirates are very vicious. And that over in the trying to get on in killing one crew or student after another and even if they get the cash, they do not care who gets hurt or killed.

To them it is just extreme risks produce extreme thrills when they kill without remorse. Five 0 must put a stop to it.

As we learn one of the crew members is a mole and that it was her and the pirate leader's plan all along at the expense of those poor young people and their families.

Steve is a smart man. When he is not a jerk of course.

Another excellent episode where a tourist boat filled with college students on a summer break is taken by pirates. Naturally, the thieves want the rich parents to pay plenty of money so that their children can be returned safely to them.

Danno again proves that he is the king of sly humor comparing Steve paying for dinner with paying ransom out.

Steve takes full charge and there is plenty of irony in this episode. Watch what is and is not included in the newspaper article about the kidnapping.

You also have to listen to the police during these hostage situations. It is always true that during these hostage negotiations one person or particular group will try to take over and dominated the proceedings. Failure to follow police instructions can ultimately lead to tragedy.
