Enquiring Minds want to know

[kapuahi]

Something has been confuddling me for a while now. What exactly is it that allows us to suspend believability for somethings and not others.

And that was a confusing question, yes? Let me example for you.

I have yet to find something in H50 that has made me roll my eyes and get all thatsnotthefuckhowtheydothat about it. However, I have been known to stop watching somethings - Yes CSI it is you to whom I point that finger - because they do something that even with my limited knowledge is wildly outside the spheres of believeability.

Now I'm pretty sure that H50 is guilty of more truth stretching in the forensic/military stakes then many of the crime procedurals, why does it not bother me?

I'd like to say it's the boys and their delicious repartee or the scenery but I think it's more than that.

See I came into fresh as far as the two leads were concerned. I knew that Grace was in BSG but had only seen a couple of eps (I bailed because I was a 70's BSG fan and couldn't cope with Starbuck and Boomer being female) and I had loved Daniel in Lost. I was in it wholey and soley for Hawaii, but somehow from the first tussel over the champ box the pair of them took over.

Yay, another Lost fan! *high-fives*
I had no clue who Grace was, although obviously I later found out what some of her previous roles had been. I knew from my dad that Kono had been male in the original Five-O, but aside from this show I don't think I've ever watched a remake/reboot of a series.
