I agree - I don't see Daddy McGarrett as an affectionate man. Which does not, per se, mean he couldn't show love in another way - my father is not especially affectionate, but I've never doubted, for a second, that he loves me more than anything else, so that's why I called John McGarrett distant. Because there are levels and different ways of showing love, and I just feel like Daddy McGarrett just didn't really know how to show his.

But, yes. Steve, to me, definitely craved his father's appreciation and approval, and never really got it.
