This episode was terrible. If you watch Hawaii Five-0 hoping for a gritty, semi-realistic cop show, then you get this semi-comedic farcical episode, well, you're going to be disappointed.
My biggest complaint is that the bad guy, Lewis Filer, had access to resources that made me keep asking myself, how does an escaped convict have access to so much stuff? Where did he get all those disguises and how did he get his hands on an ultrasonic weapon device? And why didn't the people in the elevator just pull the device down thus disconnecting and disabling it? How did he sneak into the building and get himself keys to operate the elevator, and where did he get the uniform?
And how did he know all the stuff he knew, like about the cocaine? I don't think that was really ever made clear. He was just sort of this omnipotent omniscient being.
It reminds me of how Batman always had his batgas, batshield, , bathook, batrope, and bat-geiger counter and whatever else he needed handy in his utility belt. And that ultrasonic weapon thing reminds me of one of the perilous traps that the Riddler or one of Batman's other enemies might rig up for the Dynamic Duo.
I understand that cop shows are always a bit outlandish, and don't reflect reality that well, even the ones that are intended to be realistic and gritty. But still, I expect Hawaii Five-O to be a little more reality-based than Batman.
