One of the best Five-0 episodes yet. Although there are scenes that do make you cringe, like when Wo Fat is torturing Steve, with water-boarding and the needles and drugging, Alex O'Loughlin's acting is perfect. He really makes you feel what he's feeling and it's just overall amazing.
It's finally the end of Wo Fat. He's been the main bad guy since the pilot, so it's finally time for him to be done, but not before going out with a fantastic ending. Steve gets information about his mother, finally. Answers to all his questions about why she was visiting Wo Fat in Colorado but is nowhere to be found by her own son, her relationship with the whole Fat family, and we actually see a human side to Wo Fat for the first time ever when he talks about Doris as his own mother and how she was forced to abandon him.
It was very interesting to see the alternate reality. Another big kudos to Alex O'Loughlin's acting when he asks for his father when he's drugged and rescued at the end; you really feel the pain he's feeling when Danny has to remind him that his father died. Kono is not a cop but a hot and famous surfer doing commercials. Chin is the captain of HPD. Just so many alternate portrayals of the team, it's overall just interesting.
Any episode that features Sang Min is going to be hilarious, you already know that. Great acting. Danny's character is a complete 180 to the real Danny, and that's the only one that didn't really fit. Everyone else's characters in the alternate reality were great. Especially the mustache on a dangerous looking Kamekona when he usually reminds us of a hilarious big teddy bear.
Overall, great episode. The ending is touching. Great acting overall, but especially by Alex. The end shots of all the ups and downs the team had gone through over the years really is touching. The song fits perfectly and it's just a great ending to the Wo Fat story and a fun look at an alternate reality. Plus, seeing James Marsters again is always a treat! (I'm a huge Buffy fan, so seeing Spike again, yay!)
