The entire CHiPs thing had me laughing so hard. Really, Danny and Steve are probably borderline being able to remember it, too. Chin is older, right? He's old enough, though. And Kono, man, way to make me feel old.
Also, the woman that played Chin's former fiancee? She was on OLTL (ages ago) and I LOVED her on there. :D
Yeah, I get the feeling that Chin is about 8-10 years older than Steve (roughly), just based on things they've mentioned (like Chin saying that Steve's dad used to take him along with him to Steve's fb games). And Chin said he remembered watching it when he was a kid -- so he's probably my age.
LOL! Right there wit'cha, Kim. Choked up six ways to Christmas. :-)
Between Steve crouching down to talk to the kid, fixing his GI Joe/superhero guy, and later, being ready to feed Nicole the black widow through a chipper-shredder and then going back to Grandpa the Mechanic to let him know he'd cleared his son's name, and also gotten a letter from the governor, and being kind of bowled over that the guy had found the master cylinder for him...
Yeah, Steve's a good guy, and he's rockin' the same soft marshmallow center inside a suit of armor that Jim Ellison had goin' on -- that vulnerable soul that seems surprised that people actually really, really like him, or better yet, love him. Like he's become so used to not having a family any more, or anyone who's anything more than a casual acquaintance, that becoming part of a new family -- a family that actually likes, appreciates, and loves him -- leaves him sort of skittish, as if he's afraid he's a pinch away from waking up and learning it's all been a dream.

Also? I love the bit with CHiPs at the end. I was just dying.
And there was something else. ARGH

He's a big ol' softie. YES, he has daddy issues up the wazoo, but that's not (imo) why he's a softie, per se.
CHiPs! And oh, Kono. *facepalm* "What's that?" *sigh*
