simplyn2deepof a pretty big kind too! For episode 3.01
So there's this
And I don't know if I'm going to like Doris much, but it's also reminding me about this review posted in the Examiner. Specifically the part this part:
Thrusting her in the middle of the McGarrett/Danno (Scott Caan) partnership shines a light on elements and eccentricities they each have let slide about the other, but because she is a fresh pair of eyes, and a straight-shooter at that, she calls attention to them immediately, forcing them to consider deeper than typical macho dudes might want to.
Doris trying to come off as everyone's mother. I don't know how well that's going to go over.
holy crap! while that's sort funny, I had this odd sense of deja vu and Lori prying into Danny's life as a "profiler".
She's been in hiding for 20 years. Times have changed and Danny isn't her son and she has no right prying into his personal life. Hell she probably doesn't have a right prying into Steve and Mary's lives anymore after what she did to "protect" her family.

Date: 2012-09-20 11:46 pm (UTC)Plus, if Doris is being this way with Danny because she thinks he and Steve are too close and is "defending" her son -- oh God, I love that. Even if I would hate it for reals, I love it as a character thing here, because it says so much about her. I'm suddenly way more optimistic about Doris than I was before I saw this; at least TPTB aren't making her all Forgiveable and all Perfect / Likeable.
The crappy thing there to me is that Steve apparently didn't hear that conversation between Doris and Danny because he was on the phone. I WISH HE WOULD HAVE HEARD EVERY WORD OF THAT. (Of course he would've interrupted long before the "Danno" from Doris, I think -- I kept wondering why he wasn't, until I found out he was on the phone.)
Man, this is one of my favorite spoilers EVER. Thank you!!!!!

Date: 2012-09-21 01:02 am (UTC)I took offense to the phrase she used. That's so 1950s or something. There have got to be plenty of women with children who don't want to get re-married.
Oh and I bet she'd like Rachel more for "doing whatever it takes" to protect her child(ren).

Date: 2012-09-21 01:45 am (UTC)I can see Danny or Kono talking straight to Doris, too -- I just hope it happens from ONE of them, anyway! :-)
My brain overloads when you throw Catherine into the mix. I'd somehow forgotten consciously that she's part of this now too (probably because I'm worried about how that's going to work out). Okay, I am officially like, "DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO THINK" about that. :-)))
no subject
Date: 2012-09-21 01:53 am (UTC)What if it's Doris pushing Steve and Catherine together more that causes the problems between her and Steve...

The possibilities are so intriguing. And how Catherine will react to Doris -- man, I just don't have a clue about the Catherine/Doris/Steve thing. My brain goes explodey now, I think...
no subject
Date: 2012-09-21 02:07 am (UTC)I'm basing this on the clips we've seen, but Doris comes off 1 of 2 ways for me: no one is good enough for her son, thus how she acts with Danny in the car or she really wants Catherine and Steve together because Catherine can totally hold her own and Steve needs someone like that in his life and blah blah blah.

Date: 2012-09-21 01:46 am (UTC)The other part of me wants her to have it out with Steve (maybe she will) and of course Mary. If I'm going to have a (partial) soap foisted on me by TPTB, I want angst, I want screaming, I'd like to see Mary deck Doris actually.
