Eddie's parents have been awful since they first introduced them. They've been trying to get him to give up Christopher for years. They hated Shannon, and are probably glad she's dead. So it seems like they're absolutely willing to throw away their own son, to get their claws into their grandson. But Eddie is such a wuss, that he won't fight for the person he loves most in the world. Instead, he'll consider a move back to El paso, where he will be under his parents thumbs again. Wasn't there a medical procedural on a couple years ago said in El Paso? It had doctors and EMTs. Brad can go away now. But I'll admit to enjoying the scene where the guys from the 118 were playing doctors in the show within a show within a show. There seemed to be something wrong with the cart crusader. They didn't actually say so, but he seemed a little unbalanced. And God bless Athena for making it quite clear that he was a guy who should never, ever become a cop. And while they aren't saying so, the subtext of the Bobby / Brad relationship is that Bobby is the top, and Brad is the bottom.

This show is refreshingly good about friendships between people of every kind. What makes it work, for me, is that the core group is basically an extended family and no one questions whether people deserve to be members of it.

Yes, though now most of these projects have turned private, and are out of the reach of middle class families.

This is definitely not a "ripped from the headlines" show. And I love it that way. And for those who are serious detail watchers, the actor who played the French chef in a video was the same one who played the Italian opera singer in a video in an episode earlier this season!

I think Danny rather likes Joe. He doesn't whine at him and call him names, like he does with other cops he doesn't play well with. City residency has long been a bone of contention for NYPD. But rather than letting them live outside the city, which Frank correctly sees as a further wall between the officers and the people they are supposed to protect, it would be a lot easier for the city to make affordable housing available to cops and other City employees. Eddie and Jamie are actually both on the same page a lot of the time. It's taking them years, but they are actually learning how to work as a functioning couple. And the DA got a chance to grab the glory for Erin's good deed, AND give her all the paperwork. Respect.

That taser shooting was ripped from the headlines. The officer who did it was actually a veteran and she ended up going to jail. Well I'm sure they'll drop the storyline, but that cop is going to be more than just kicked off the force. He'll probably be charged. Is Buck going to change? Probably not. He never changes. He's so good with kids because he's just a big kid. And in his coma timeline, he was a kindergarten teacher, right? Don't care about Brad. Don't care about Garrett. They can both go away. I don't think they'll do another tragic Maddie pregnancy. She and Chim have a pretty functional relationship at this point. Their neuroses complement each other.

I think the show has found its tone. And it was definitely about dressing everyone up last night. And they all looked great in eveningwear. I've always liked Vanessa Williams's comedy chops, and Molly Price brought some too. Kaya is a good friend for Elsbeth to have, because she is a bit more attached to everyday life. I love how everyone was into the heist and the counter heist.

I think that Eddie dancing to Risky Business was fan service, and I consider myself serviced! Also, that priest was definitely hitting on him. It's not really Catholic protocol to stalk a guy from the confessional until you find him and force him to confront himself. Now fucking go get Christopher, Eddie. And I almost laughed out loud when the 118 decided to save a child in serious danger by putting another child in serious danger. However, how cute was it when Cap referred to himself as "Captain Bobby?" And I have decided to treat Buck as a human golden retriever. So pretty, so dumb. It almost felt like a call back to when he asked Taylor to move in with him. What's his relationship with Taylor his longest and most successful? Also, did he ever get a couch? I thought the pregnancy story line was well acted and Chim and Maddie continue to grow as a couple.

Well, in the BOOK she's basically a prostitute. In the film, she's Audrey Hepburn! ;-) Also the former child star was so specific in her behavior, Is wondered which of Elsbeth 's writers worked on a Nickelodeon show!

Bode is the king is stupid decisions. Always will be. I'm not sure I can follow a character who is that stupid. See also: Buck on 9-1-1.

I think Quinto is a pretty good actor, but he's being asked to do a million things at once, and not all of them make sense.

I think Dana with the bad attitude and lots of experience with drugs is going to be my favorite. And yes, it sounds like the father has Quinto's voice.

What's really annoying is that they showed him to n the East River!

The kid playing Denny has grown up into a good actor. (May is a pretty good actor as well.) He's written as someone who is thoughtful and kind and naturally looking out for other people. He's a good big brother. Hen and Karen have done a great job with him. (Harry, on the other hand, is kind of a jerk). And it's a good thing the vice principal was killed in the accident, because had he lived, he would have had to face the wrath of two epically furious parents.

I think Karen is still a rocket scientist. They've never actually addressed the child care issues in the family.
