Other thoughts in this 9-1-1 season

It baffles me this season is actually full of great moments in their individual character arcs, but because none does have a continuity in terms of narrative, they end up lacking meaning.

Athena did solve Tania's murder, a 40 years old cold case that was the literal reason she became a cop. Did we see any post perspective on that? Nope. Instead she just kept floating around the season. We actually did have some quality bathena scenes supporting each other and flirting here and there, but that is it. Honestly I'm not sure if this is result of AB becoming too expensive for FOX to give much screen time to her, as they did the bare minimum with her because it's in AB's contract to appear in every episode of the show.

Hen had a chance to be captain, quit med school and Karen's lab did explode and she almost died. Did we see any post perspective over that, any discussion or consequence in the narrative for either of them? Nope, in fact Karen's lab exploding only served as a point to show up the relationship beginning, because it doesn't have any continuity.

We did have the Nathaniel thing that just felt confusing to majority of the watchers who could remember that in S2 they did leave the impression that Henren and Nathaniel kept in good terms over Danny and that the path was always open for Nathaniel.

Then we had Hen and Karen fostering again, but since the show didn't care in showing the audience that point, we spent the whole scene asking ourselves "who the heck are these kids?" a question that keeps relevant in the ending as they're possibly adopting a new kid we never heard or never saw. Don't get me wrong I'm excited for Henren adopting again I just wish we didn't get it in such a rushed way.

We also did have comeback of captain Hen in this episode, but as she is concussed, it's not there for long, then we past over her concussion, and we don't even see Karen in the hospital.

Eddie did not have an individual arc in this season at all. At least I don't remember of it, and the fact I don't remember, means whatever he had didn't stick enough to impact me. He was underused. Then instead of keeping that way (which would be a bless actually) they decided to shove the obligatory last minute LI on him. Which kinda makes him hypocrite considering a couple of episodes ago he was saying Buck that dating people they rescue doesn't end well and here he is, trying to date someone he rescued.

Bobby in this season had a role in supporting Athena and his own individual arcs. His sponsor, Wendell, came out of nowhere, and as fast the man appeared, he died. Then, Bobby spent a couple of episodes obsessing over said death, cracked the case, saved Tamara, beat down a dirty rehab clinic and it's psychopathic managers, we actually could grasp a storyline of him becoming a sponsor, and then nothing. The maximum was a mention of Wendel post the episode in one of the scenes, what already can be considered a miracle taking in count those storylines are forgotten the moment their episode ends.

We also had a single episode of Bobby finally acknowledging he does see Buck as his son, we even see him trying to be there for Buck, but the Wendel arc kinda limited that. Sadly, Bobby and Buck barely interacted in a relevant way after it.

Then we had this build up for Bobby trapped in this episode with ominous signs here and there through the entire 6B. To be honest I get the impression that the show has been wanting to hurt Bobby badly (the angst of that would be glorious, let's face it), but loses courage through the process to pull it off properly. I mean, I get it, the man is just everyone's dad and it's traumatizing to see this pillar of strength for the whole team to be hurt, but in this case, because there was no way that fall would have such minimal consequences (and the show just skip all the healing process again), all the mystery and build up for it felt anti-climatic in some sense.

Also, the cruise, It serves both Athena and Bobby's characters and we can only pray the writers will not skip through that and actually start the next season with it taking the opportunity to do a decent opening season disaster (idc the team just went trough a disaster, no one told the show to put time a skip between the bridge collapse and the point where the episode ended).

Buck... *sigh* What can I say? He had at least 4 individual arcs in this season and he is possibly the only character who's the storylines were allowed to have a continuity, the absolute problem in his case is that none of said continuity makes sense or was satisfying to watch.

The "journey to be at ease" wasn't concluded at all, the "leadership arc" felt like we got introduced to it and jumped directly to it's conclusion as nothing in between justify the growth we saw. His "death experience" apparently served for him to accept his parents negligence, but as the matter isn't touched again and we can't even see him interacting much with Bobby in a relevant way after, it just ended up inconclusive. The "sperm donation" is only there where we can't certainly say what was the purpose or what did change in his character, tbh even if the line "because I could" sounds touching and beautiful, it seems a easy way of justify a completely unnecessary arc that literally didn't serve any other purpose other than consume screentime.

Chimney and Maddie. They began the season working the issues of their relationship post S5, then spent the season most likely just enjoying their time (getting some breath on their characters I suppose) until the marriage question pops off and this is their arc for the season.

Ironically this was an arc people complained it was dragged, but it's literally the one single arc in this season that does have a consistence between it's beginning and it's conclusion. The fact it felt dragging is because we are not used in watching the characters work their issues in screen rather than off-screen, so yes it was frustrating to watch Chimney go spiral over the question due his trust issues and anxiety, Hen concern regarding Chim, Maddie uncertainty over the marriage, we even had Hen and Maddie working that "beef" directly, it was frustrating to watch, but these were matters that were properly introduced, worked and concluded through the latest 3 episodes of this season. Hence it's probably the best arc of this season in terms of narrative.

So, from all the individual arcs this season only one did have proper build up, work and conclusion, as majority (because ofc Buck's character had to be underwhelming again) did have it's amazing peaks, but lacked continuity, which is literally the biggest problem of the show currently.

I really hope the move to ABC step up the continuity aspect of the show, because I think it's probably the biggest problem after overexposing Buck and utilizing him only to walk in circles.

Spoiler alert: you don't

Christ this is already off the rails and the episode hasn't even aired lmao

I've always wanted to go to a Ren Fair but every year I forget until its already over.

You know what's kind of incredible here? They were talking about how girls could be more than princesses and no Hen is the one taking point on rescuing her sister, just reaffirming what her sister was saying before the bees.

I wonder how many hours of makeup/effects she had to sit through to make her look that swollen

WE GOT A JEE "BUCK" OMGGGGGGGGG

HE LOOKS SO HAPPY OH MY GOD I LOVE IT

If bro says fix it one more time IM going to toss him out a window holy god my guy

Oh damn I didn't realize he was going out the window--whoops that was a day dream. Same tho

I can't believe he ran through every confession possible with Athena lmao buddy stop implicating yourself and get a new job, maybe a therapist

Chris is so grown up 😭😭😭

I LIVE for these Dad!Eddie moments

Carla shoving him into the kitchen hahahaa, man I missed their dynamic. Not the actress, but Carla speaking wisdom for Eddie and the fun banter they always have.

"It's gonna be great" famous last words

Bobby's lucky numbers have me cackling, because they're equal parts adorable and equal parts on brand for a sports obsessed homer

(dont ask me about 1738 and 2015)

No bc if May bought twitter it probably would be the shit show it is now

"Ms. Garcia, RIP" Evan. 💀🤣

Like, how do you think this would be a good idea? I get being overly horny but its a MOVING vehicle ???

The panic when he realizes Chris could be getting his first kiss and Buck being absolutely unhelpful

Eddie went from being invested in Hen swapping Swarezes to being a grump in 0.7 seconds flat

Not the 'grandpa' gd Buck don't give him a heart attack lmao

I missssssed the 118 family banter oh my godddddddd

Bobby's just mad him and Athena didn't do it first

May, don't make unnecessary journeys! Stay out of treacherous creepy dude's houses!

May, it's literally titled 'my fantasy'

Oh JFC

My nerves are so shot man

Is she going to do training to be a hostage negotiator??? Ohhh I love that angle!!! Bring her in for more big rescues!

(also that made a separate post bc I need to put it into the universe so that Tim and Co. can steal it 😇)

"Look swords", he's such a child lmao

Oh my god now he's talking about teaching Jee girls can do anything by getting her a sword I fucking love him

last line/seven sentence [day]/posting part of a wip whatever

tagged by @dancer-me and @clusterbuck (by the way I'm obsessed with your new url)

it's not Sunday and these are not the last lines I wrote but I'm posting them anyway! from the baseball au

The way he says Bobby’s name so casually, like he’s already a part of the team, makes Buck see red. “Thanks,” he bites out.

He shoves his baseball cap on his head and leaves.

The underground hallways are always cold, but Buck doesn’t feel it as he makes his way to the field. He kind of wants to scream, because yeah, he knows that Eddie’s hot and competent, but his return to the game is the only thing they’ll be talking about on the post game segment for weeks and it’s just not fair.

He exits the tunnel and when he feels the sun on his face, he can breathe. This feeling, the one he gets every time he steps out on the diamond, it never gets old. This is what Eddie must not get, because if he did, he never would have left the game in the first place.

Buck takes a breath. So what if everyone else thinks Eddie’s great. He still gets to have this. Eddie fucking Diaz doesn’t get to take this from him, even if he’s probably going to win over the fans and the rest of the team with one dazzling smile. Hell, maybe they’ll trade Buck now that he’s not shiny and new. It doesn’t matter. He still gets this.

tagging: idk I tagged a bunch of people a few days ago and also I've lost the thread a little on which game this is but if you want to do it please do and tag me!!
