    I wish they would have done another first lady that we don't know as much about. 

    Frances Cleveland would have been pretty good, but I'm pretty sure this show doesn't have the budget to go full-on Gilded Age on us.

    Also, Frances Cleveland was pretty much an anti-woman, anti-immigrant, and pro-horrendous people kinda person.

    I felt bad for poor Chim. Hopefully he won't have any long term effects from his heart being stopped twice. 

    He didn't have any long-term effects from A ROD OF REBAR PIERCING HIS BRAIN, so I think he's probably going to be okay.

    And Eddie is very, very pretty, so he gets to stay.

    I thought his obituary was the source of his dating profile photo.  Or have I remembered wrong?

    You haven't remembered incorrectly, but that made no sense back when that episode aired, and it still makes no sense now.  Forget about how bad a circa-2000 digital image file would look on a 2022 dating profile -- I can assure you that very, very few obituaries from 2000 still exist online, and those that do are those of very famous people, and not of random finance douchebros who vanished during upstate frat parties gone wrong.

    Now, if Trevor had pulled his dating profile photo from a FindAGrave.com memorial, that would be different....

    Definitely weird that Paloma Garcia-Lee was there.  I've never heard of her before and Graziella is a very small part.  Her biggest contribution to the narrative is to be Riff's dance partner at the gym.  

    In the Spielberg remake (reimagining? Not sure how to describe it), Graziella had a bigger part than that, especially when Anita is attacked in the shop.  Paloma Garcia-Lee was pretty damn powerful in that absolutely ugly scene, and it made me reconsider everything I'd previously thought about the character.

    (Full disclosure:  I think this 2021 version of West Side Story is so very much better than the original 1961 version, and a lot of its superiority has to do with the careful way they elevated all of the supporting characters, including Graziella.)

    (That said, I expect Jacob to die sometime this season. He's got "9-1-1 Red Shirt" written all over him.)

    But will he die because a volcanic rock pierces his chest?  Maybe an accidental spear through his head from some asshole rich person out on Catalina?  How?  How will he die?

    (We should start a betting pool:  How Will This Tertiary Character on 9-1-1 Die?  All proceeds can go to Ukraine.)

  6. That whole legs thing in the opening sequence was just...so...disgusting.  Like, so vicariously, violently disgusting, that it gave me hope this show was getting back on the right track.

    And then we got a Speed ripoff and fifteen minutes of Birthmark Boy agonizing because he kissed somebody at a bar.  Sigh.

    Frankly I thought it was pretty impossible that Owen had stage 4 lung cancer and was undergoing chemo and was still medically fit for duty. So I am sure that Paul, despite any health issues concerning his heart, will be back to work soon. 

    I thought it was pretty impossible that Chim, on the original 9-1-1, had a chunk of rebar through his head, and was still medically fit for duty in two weeks.  These shows are deliberately stupid.

    My big question:  Why does Paul still have a both a turntable and a vinyl copy of Louis Prima's version of "Just a Gigolo"?  Completely nit-picky, I realize, over a show that has far more glaring plot holes, but vinyl?  Of Louis Prima?  Really?

    Really, if this is what TK's entire life has been like, he cant even go on a plane without it almost falling out of the sky, no wonder he ended up doing drugs. The universe is clearly out to get him. 

    Hee!  Absolutely agree -- I'd be hiding in hard-to-find drug dens and mainlining heroin too, if the universe planted so obvious a target on my back.

    I give it one more season before baby brother comes to Austin for Reasons and we get TK and Carlos as parents. Because this show runs on soap.

    I give it one episode.  And in that episode, the baby, like, chokes on something so 9-1-1 must be called, and TK has to perform a tracheotomy on his little half-brother that might result in TK's little half-brother ending up with permanent brain damage, just so TK can suffer some more.

    I have loved Melanie Lynskey since Heavenly Creatures, and I would pay to watch Juliette Lewis and  Cristina Ricci read the phone book, so I’m hooked.

    Totally agree, and these three are the main reason I'm sticking with this series, despite the obvious problems in the first two episodes.
