#real-life sex mehhhhh

[superbatson]

decided to give station 19 a try for barrett, though honestly, after watching the pilot for krypton yesterday, this is like soap opera garbage in comparison. here are some thoughts during the 2-hour (jesus christ) premiere:

i don't hate the characters??? the script is weak as hell but they each have decent personalities. the lead - andy? - is kind of annoying. but of course, i love barrett. oak too. i don't really know any other character names besides the lead's

i also know grey damon from other shows i've watched him on, so he's great and obviously a lead here, so, yay! (isn't he pretty? 😍)

oh god they're having sex already? what the fuck, this is a pilot! i know this got a straight-to-series order but still, chill!

(though ngl, i wanna have sex with grey too)

and there's an almost-proposal and drama. i feel for grey, of course, but man, do i feel like i am missing a lot in this relationship.

i've noticed this in his other roles, but whenever he's in any sort of dramatic scene, he always looks like he's crying or close to it.. is that a sign of good acting or his eye color being super light?

i don't think firefighters discuss this sort of personal stuff while driving towards a fire...

"he was her prom date" oh no please don't do a love triangle

i honestly half-watched that entire rescue scene where the captain almost died. it was dark and that smoke up by the ceiling was AWFUL cgi

grey's helmet hair is 💯💯💯 (yes, i am finally using this emoji more)

aaaand the former prom date dude is comforting andy. grey looks sad. it's 2018. can we stop having love triangles? no one wants this!

also, what are these constant flashes of what's to come after the commercial break? i'm watching the whole episode. it's only 40 mins long (with another 40 min one afterwards). i don't need to know what's coming up. i'll see after the damn commercial break!

can't tell if this hallway fight is good acting or a little much... in real life, one of them would be trying to get the other to keep their voice down...

the heavy incorporation of pop music in the show makes it feel like this is more of a teen show... or do they not have the budget to have an actual score?

captain has cancer... yay drama

grey's character is jack, gotcha... still calling him grey lol

so jack's temporary captain and andy's gonna bitch about it because feminism, right? just bc you're his daughter doesn't mean you deserve that job

she now seems to hate the guy she was in a relationship with about half an hour ago... how do you change so quickly?

you talk about dead parents and suddenly you're making out. what the fuck?

aaaand more sex! yay (she says sarcastically)

no seriously this is gross

oh yay it cut off quickly

two broadway alum in one scene, woohoo!

if i ship anything on this show it's these two

or barrett & grey's characters bc it makes my bisexual heart v happy

they should rename this show saved by the bell (er... alarm)

hmm... does andy actually have the qualifications, though, for this lieutenant position?

oh they're working together, andy and jack, niiiice

this motivational speech is too cliche... who wrote this?

why is this stupid fire pole so significant?

why does jack look so upset?

is the quick episode summary really necessary?

aaaand that's it for episode one. i guess i'll watch episode two too, since it's in this recording, but i'll make that review a separate post.

there was so much happening in that pilot, i feel like i've been watching this show for five years rather than one hour. mehhhhh. so melodramatic.

yeah, after episode two, don't know if i'll stick with this. i love barrett and oak is fun and grey is gorgeous but it's just an annoying show overall. not nearly as interesting as krypton. if the season goes on netflix by summertime, maybe it'll be something to watch when there's nothing on. but otherwise, meh.
