Goofs

The broken gas pipe that McGarrett sees leaking is the wrong type of pipe for natural gas. The pipe shown was a solder type that had never been soldered. A natural gas pipe would have brass compression fittings to properly seal the joint under pressure.

User Reviews

would you want these guys protecting your back??? spoilers for ncis:la also

First Danny caved in to a kidnapper and broke every rule as a cop let alone a member of an elite squad. Now, in this episode we have team members acting like rookies and doing everything their training is supposed to prevent them from doing. Are the writers of this show serious that they expect fans to swallow this type of lazy writing??? The cliffhanger is not from any plot development but from the silly actions of the so called professionals. The governor should disband this team right away. I am surprised that the writing is so sloppy. There are so many great shows that do not insult the intelligence of the viewer but this show and ncis:la appear to be the worst. The tie-in to the show about small pox is a good example. You don't yell "federal agents" before surrounding the criminal and risk a chase in a crowd with vials of live virus. I know what this disease can do since my dad and uncles all had to fight it. The lack of thinking and planning is unbelievable. Yes this is only a show but don't assume that people watching are stupid. Conclusion: Good plot, lousy execution and lousy writing.
