Y'all not knowing Theo Huxtable is taking me out

[exhuastedpigeon]

i think the nurse was there for bobby when his family died (his wife surely must have been in the burn unit) and now reconnecting with him helps him get over his loss (step 9) cause i genuinely do not want to see a BURN UNIT NURSE try to set bucks apartment on fire with buck inside (ashes, ashes) and everyone trying to save him (all fall down) with eddies parents coming to look after chris when he stays by unconcious bucks side 24/7

I would LOVE for the Amir (the burn unit nurse) to be someone who was a nurse for Bobby's wife before she passed. I think Bobby having to face that would be really harrowing emotionally.

Seeing him with a burn on his face makes me think that maybe he was in the apartment fire himself, but that could be a red herring to make us think he was in that fire but he was in a different fire and that's why he became a burn unit nurse.

The burn unit nurse burns down a building just doesn't really sit right with me and it especially doesn't sit right if he's trying to get revenge on Bobby for what he lost. I feel like if he was going to do that route he'd burn down Bobby's house or the fire station, not Buck's apartment.

I'm honestly, just SO excited for this arc for Bobby. I am a huge Malcolm-Jamal Warner fan and have been since i was a kid. The of the Cosby show where Theo Huxtable was diagnosed with dyslexia genuinely changed my life (I'm mildly dyslexic and seeing a character that I really loved with the same struggles as me was huge)

Anyway, yeah. I'm not a huge fan of some of the theories I've seen floating around, but people are having fun and that's what matters.

I'm personally team Amir is an emotional arc for Bobby and maybe helps him heal and helps him understand that the fire wasn't his fault. It may have started because of a space heater he was using, but it never should have gotten that out of control - it was the building owner who didn't keep the building up to code that allowed the fire to spread.

Or maybe Amir is angry at Bobby because of the fire. Maybe Bobby needs to ask him for forgiveness too. Maybe Amir is the start of Bobby truly getting into Step 9 and making amends.

But whatever is coming, I'm buckled in.

Let's watch 911 7x07

All right guys, let’s do this. I’m finally able to sit down and watch episode 7x07. I'll type out my thoughts and feelings as I'm watching.

Disclaimer: This is a fictional show with fictional characters. These characters go through some of the wildest things. This time we have a cheating storyline for Eddie and while, in real life, it would be a big no no, on a TV show like this it’s a narrative I can get behind. These people need to go through dramas to come out on the other side as reborn. It’s what TV is for, an escape from reality. None of it is real. So yeah, while Eddie cheats on Marisol, I will still watch this show and I’ll still be intrigued what this means for him and his narrative. Ultimately this part of his story will serve a purpose and I’m here for that.

So, let’s go!

That first call going to Maddie. She is so damn good at her job.

Oh no, they crashed!

2. No no no, Chimney! An explosion! Stay away Eddie! Oh no, she’s burned badly, isn’t she? Inhalation burns.

Where is the baby?

Why is Athena the only police officer working these cases? There is never another police officer on call.

Where is the baby? Please don’t hurt the baby!

That poor lady.

Where is the damn baby?

3. That’s right, no screens during dinner. I have the same rule at home. My son is used to it by now.

Mara! Denny knows about her baby brother, Tyson. Oh that poor sweet girl.

4. Oh, the ice cream Marisol scene. I’m afraid now! Christopher really seems to like her. That poor kid is going to go through it, isn’t he. Another woman who will eventually leave him, for good reason I know, but still…

Ooooh, fake Shannon! Cue Eddie having a flashback of Shannon. Man, grief can be so hard sometimes. The moment you think you’re doing better, something happens to throw you back in the middle of it. Imagine seeing a döppelganger of your deceased wife. That has to be hard on anyone.

5. Hen is such a great mother. I love how she talks to Mara and really understands what is going on with her.

That’s right baby! Denny is nice. Of course you miss him.

Has he been taken by the foster system?

6. What do you mean her husband is in Alaska? Who is that guy? And where is the baby???

Oh Maddie, this has to be hard for her. All of those memories. That’s right Josh, talk some sense into her.

7. Foster families are important, but it sucks how siblings are separated.

Oh… Mara’s mother had an affair. Man, there is a theme running through this episode.

I don’t think the system can do a lot in cases like this Hen. Sometimes hands are tied.

8. The burn unit. Oh, that is Amir huh? 'The only one responsible is the driver, the rest of us are left to clean up the mess.' Auwch! This is the guy who is going to go after Bobby, isn’t he?

Side note: Theo Huxtable was my favourite on ‘The Cosby Show’. I know, I know, we’re not supposed to watch it anymore and shit, but I grew up with that show, so yeah.

He seems like a nice guy. Are we sure he’s going after Bobby?

Maddie, you’re a nurse… mask up when you visit a burn victim!

9. No no no, I don’t want to see this scene! No Eddie, don’t do it!!!

Of course fake Shannon would walk out to talk to him. I would! I mean, the guy looks gorgeous.

A candle? Instant stimulation. Noooooooo, don’t do it babe! On the beach with Shannon.

Ryan, the actor that you are. Your eyes speak to me!

Nooooo, you aren’t single babe!!!! Have you forgotten about Marisol without a last name? She was right there in the beginning of the episode, eating ice cream with you.

Edmundo… really? This harkens back to Ana times.

Fake Shannon is called Kim.

But really, Kim is the spitting image of Shannon. How can he resist this? All he’s ever wanted was to be enough for Shannon and now he has another chance. Of course he’ll take it. The loveable idiot!

The S keychain… I mean, Eddie babe, she isn’t Shannon. She’s another person. You can’t just replace your deceased wife with a new copy. It doesn’t work that way. She looks like her, but she’s a completely different woman.

10. Mommy and me classes. Hen and Karen stalking yet again another parent of one of their foster children. Well, not the real parent, but you know what I mean. They’ve done this before. This isn’t healthy ladies. I understand your motivation, but it just isn’t healthy. You’ll end up being kicked out of the system if you continue like this.

11. Maddie, stop obsessing babe. It isn’t healthy. Where is Chimney?

Aaaah, that’s right! He’s her husband now!!!! YAY!

Oh, Chimney, you are the best husband. You get it. You understand her so well.

This scene is gold! GOLD!

Oh, this guy isn’t connected to the lady at all, is she?

12. OMG! He’s the neighbour! He has to be.

That poor mother.

13. Wait… is that Shannon or Kim in bed with Eddie? Please let it be Shannon! I’m not ready for a full-blown sexual affair.

Side note: it is so weird that the women on 911 always have their bras on when they have sex. Meanwhile the TV-shows that get made in my country have full-blown nudity and very explicit unapologetic sex scenes, and no one bats an eye over it.

What is going on? Is it Kim? It can’t be!

Whose room is that? That isn’t Eddie’s bed, is it?

Oh, it’s a memory… or is it? I don’t think he slept with Shannon before she saw him at Christmas, did he? I remember that scene where they had sex upside down on the bed and then she quickly had to leave because Chris came home. This is so different.

O_o Dude! No! Marisol is right there. I have no love for this women, since I hardly know her, but this is a big no no! Not in front of her salad.

14. Oh, he was a handyman. A real stalker.

Maddie is calling the sister? Isn’t that against protocol? This show just throws every single rule into the bin.

Kyle had to make a fresh start from what? Oh no, his wife left with the baby. This guy is full on psychotic, isn’t he? He’s living in a delusion where the victim and her baby are his own wife and child.

What is he feeding that baby?

Oh no, this guy is crazy! A new mommy?

Maddie, you genius you!!! I love you! You understand creepy guys like no other.

Someone save that baby!!!!!! Nooo!

Chimney knows!

Oh Buck tackled that guy! His back has to be broken! That dude is massive!

The woman is safe!

15. Oh no, Amir’s eyes! He knows Bobby. Such a great actor.

Bobby is in trouble.

16. Tyson, yes. So happy that Mara gets to see her brother again.

Of course he remembers here. Kids always do.

17. Buck is cooking. I don’t want to watch the next scene, because I know what is coming. But okay.

This is so homey and cosy. The three of them together.

Smoke though? Foreshadowing?

Good cologne? We won’t wait up for you? Oh Buck… if you only knew what your best friend was up to. You could have stopped him to talk some sense into him.

This scene though. They’re a unit, the three of them. One day…

But first Eddie needs to deal with some of his demons. Let’s go.

18. Thank God, some Madney first. I need a little break before disaster strikes. Jee is sooo cute.

No more bad dreams tonight? Yeah, maybe not for Jee. I’m about to have a full blown nightmare in 3... 2... 1... and there it is...

19. Pffff, Eddie Eddie Eddie. I’m so disappointed in you right now. Don’t get me wrong, I still love you to bits and you’re still my fav on 911, but what are you doing? Not only to yourself, but to Marisol, Kim and Chris?

If you wanted to date this woman so badly, why didn’t you break up with Marisol first? It would have been the most decent thing to do for everyone involved.

Do you think this will bring Shannon back? It won’t you know. Kim is a different woman. Next to that, you are idealising your marriage to Shannon. It’s blinding you and stopping you from moving forward in life.

You need to let go of Shannon. Lay her to rest.

But I can see that you aren’t planning for that.

This is all going to come to a very messy ending and you’ll be left in the dust my friend. I just hope Chris doesn’t get pulled into this. I don’t ever want him to know.

Wait until Buck finds out. Not looking forward to that scene. It’ll be hard to watch.

I wonder if they are going to make this in a full-blown sexual affair, or an emotional cheating affair. And how long will it last? One episode? Two? What will make him see that what he’s doing is self-destructing? I’m convinced that this man is hurting deeply and he just wants to feel happy again, no matter the cost. He has this illusion that everything was perfect with Shannon, but it wasn’t. All of this will come crashing down and he’ll be left in the dust, alone.

If we have to believe Ryan’s interview, he’ll eventually crawl out of the pit of despair as a new man. Which is a good thing. But he’s going to go through it first and I’m here for it. I'll gobble up every single scene and the gut-wrenching heartbreak Eddie will go through the moment he will realise that he has f*cked up so badly.

Side note: We have now seen three people of the 118 cheat, in different ways, on their partners by now. I wonder if there’s something in the water?

[irrationalrage]

Overall, that went SO MUCH better than I was expecting!

So glad Mara gets to not be further traumatized for now!

And I knew Theo Huxtable didn’t do it! Claire Huxtable raised him better than that!

And Buck managed to get through an entire season finale without any new injuries, look at him go!

But I’m still heartbroken over Chris leaving ���. He better come back next season and fix poor sad Eddie.

Also, fuuuuuuck Gerrard.

[mannytoodope]

Theo: Denise,(angry) Is this my shirt? Is this the shirt I paid  $30 for?!s this the shirt they’re going to think is a  Gordon Cartell?

Denise: You don’t like it?

Theo:(angry) Ask me the question again.

Denise: You don’t like it?

Theo: I hate it!

Denise: You don’t like it? Theo: Look at it. Oh, it’s the ugliest shirt I’ve ever seen!

Denise: It’s not that bad.

Vanessa: It’s better than I can do.

Theo: Look at these sleeves; my arm is the same length. The collar is all crazy, and it’s ten sizes too big! Why aren’t my sleeve the same length?

Denise: Well, maybe if you tucked it in.

Theo: It’s tucked into my socks!!

The Cosby Show is a television sitcom co-created and starring Bill Cosby, which aired for eight seasons (1984-92). The show focuses on an upper-middle-class African American family living in Brooklyn.

The Show spent five consecutive seasons as the number-one-rated show on television. The Show and All in the Family are the only sitcoms in the history of the Nielsen ratings to be the #1 show for five seasons. It spent all eight of its seasons in the top 20.

The show “was TV’s biggest hit in the 1980s, and almost single-handedly revived the sitcom genre and rating fortunes.” TV Guide ranked it 28th on their list of 50 Greatest Shows. In addition, Cliff Huxtable was named the “Greatest Television Dad”.

Entertainment Weekly stated that The Cosby Show helped to make possible a larger variety of shows with a predominantly African American cast, from In Living Color to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The Show was based on comedy routines in Cosby’s stand-up act, which in turn were based on his family life. The show led to the spinoff A Different World, which ran for six seasons (1987-93).

The patriarch is Cliff Huxtable, an obstetrician, and son of a prominent jazz trombonist. The matriarch is his wife, attorney Clair Huxtable.

They have four daughters and one son: Sondra, Denise, Theo, Vanessa, and Rudy. Despite its comedic tone, the show sometimes involves serious subjects, like Theo’s experiences dealing with dyslexia, inspired by Cosby’s dyslexic son, Ennis. The show also deals with teen pregnancy when Denise’s friend, Veronica, becomes pregnant. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
