The urge to slap is great....

This weekend I re-watched "Anybody Can Build A Bomb" which deals with an uber-organization named Mercury extorting Hawaii for $100 million or they'll set off an atomic bomb.

Now Mercury figures people are still thinking it's bluffing or the whole thing is a hoax. However, they're ready for this with a "moderate atomic flash" set for Kapiolani Park.

This is where the urge to slap comes in: at the end of Act Two, McGarrett calls Danno about what's going on (Mercury called the governor's office during a meeting with all the bigwigs including their own man, Dr. Haig who was helping Five-O) and tells him he doesn't care how it happens, evacuate Kapiolani Park.

At the start of Act Three, Danno talks through a speaker or bullhorn saying there is a bomb in the park and creates a panic! WHAT THE HELL!? Every time I watch this particular scene, I want to throttle Danno - what are you thinking anyway!? Of course, you're going to cause everyone to run every which way! :mad:

I was struck this weekend though, who is really to blame? McGarrett for ordering the park evacuated by whatever means possible or Danno who carried out those orders? :confused: As much as it pains me, I put Danno on the hot seat for this one because he could have used some sense and not said "there's a bomb!" He could have still followed McGarrett's orders by directing people out of the park and not causing a panic. If a real-life police force pulled this, imagine the backlash!
