    I love this show and I don’t want to see it get cancelled, but going soapy on viewers is not going to get them decent ratings. 

    They've already been renewed for season 8 and all 5 episodes this season have had some of the best live+7 ratings they've ever had.

    If someone watches for the rescues, it seems like they are focusing too much on relationships and less on the action. 

     

    The show has always been about the characters and relationships. Yes, the rescues can be a big part of the storyline but the whole point of the show is telling the story of these characters. I've been wanting a bottle episode for years where they have a shift with no calls and we just see them in the firehouse together the entire episode.

    Anyone know Oliver’s contact status?

    Spoiler

    He's been shooting the rest of the season and in uniform - so Buck survives and goes back to the job

  3. I signed up for a show about firefighters, not some copaganda procedural. I will never watch this entire episode again, it was just awful. If I wanted that I'd go watch however many iterations of Law and Order there are. I'm so glad that storyline is over.

    I am happy that Eddie broke up with Ana, although she sort of did the majority of the work in that breakup. Eddie has a lot he needs to figure out and he should do that in therapy. 

    I figured Maddie was going to leave but didn't realize she'd leave Jee at the fire station, I thought she'd leave her with Mrs. Lee. Also, after 4-5 months she's still this bad? If nothing else, she needs new doctors.

    Oh! I thought it was the finale. I'm glad it isn't. I'm not crazy about cliff hangers.

    At least in past seasons 9-1-1 has always had the cliffhangers/drama in the last couple of episodes and then ends on a joyful scene of all the characters together. I'm hoping that pattern continues next week!

  5. I had so many thoughts and then that last scene happened! I was surprised they went with the blood spray onto Buck, that's brutal. Obviously the sniper is targeting first responders because they had a clear shot on Buck (not in uniform) and moved to shoot at the other guy (in uniform). I am really hoping they don't make Christopher an orphan.

    Other storylines - the AAA is definitely deadly if it ruptures, I work in blood banking and usually ruptured ones don't make it to the hospital but if it ruptures at the hospital or in surgery, those patients use a LOT of blood products and still don't always make it. 

    I'm surprised the drunk driver was released, even if she did have an ankle monitor. Also, Bobby said she had a relapse and from what I understand, at least in real life, her being allowed out with monitoring would probably require her to stay sober. If she fell off the wagon, why wasn't her release revoked? I get Bobby wanting to help her, but he and Athena really do need to work on their communication. 

    Poor Maddie, I wonder if she has postpartum depression?

  6. Aww Sue is married to Jerry/Gerry/Terry/Larry!

    I did like this episode and how the cases tied together, although Athena's point about how a 20 year old white woman missing wouldn't just be dismissed was disheartening to hear (and sadly true).

    I loved seeing baby Josh and how he got started, plus how he was doubting being in Sue's place but ended up getting the suspect surrounded.

    I recently read something about some kind of syndrome or illness (I can't remember where) that could make a person's blood alcohol readings be sky high - without them having taken a single drink.

     

    Auto-brewery syndrome! It's where your body ferments yeast and basically creates beer in your gut. It can be somewhat treated with medications like antibiotics and antifungals to try and rid the body of the microorganisms that are doing the fermenting. Also a high protein, very low carb diet will help with symptoms as it prevents the organisms from having anything to ferment.

  8. I’m someone who believes that things have meaning because there is an end, so I am happy with how this all wrapped up.

    We all start out as atoms that then form to become a human. Walking through the door is just letting our atoms go back to being part of the universe. 
     

    It also made me think about people I love who suffer from severe depression. They wake up every day and think “f*** I’m still here.” Existence itself is painful for them (and this is with meds and treatment). So the idea that they could peacefully end their existence and therefore end their pain and anguish is comforting to me.

  9. Gordon Holmes tweeted saying he reached out to see if there was a statement by Probst and was told there would be no statement and Probst won't be doing interviews about it.

    Why?! They should not be covering this up.

    Can you let me know if there is an airport closer to you than O'Hare?
    I found it funny she drove 7 hours to pick him up.

    Not diamond girl but I live a couple hours from where beekeeper does. She's in a suburb of Omaha and there is an airport there. It's a small airport (although has better/cheaper flights than my airport in Des Moines). He could have gotten a connection from O'Hare to Omaha, but I'm guessing she was concerned about him having to do that.

  11. I don't like the new boss. Her basically saying the ends justify the means is pretty awful for someone in law enforcement. I think it was pretty clear Karim was being pushed into this by his friend and the undercover FBI agent. This episode just left a bad taste in my mouth.

  12. It's only been a few days in show time right? It seemed like Nicole slipped and said something about 3 dates in 3 days and then corrected and said 2 weeks. How is it possible for anyone to feel anything real in that time to the point that people are getting jealous? Unless it's more concern over getting to stay and therefore having more airtime and more free beach vacation.

  13. I think Nicole and Victor got upset because they wanted to verify what they heard with Team Fun and the Reilly sisters got on them about not trusting them. That's what the argument on the train seemed to be and the Reilly sisters weren't telling the truth (they said their backs were turned, but that's what they overheard, and other teams were there). I think Victor got on that something wasn't fully accurate and so was telling them he wasn't sure to believe what they were saying. Rachel then said some mean personal things about them playing the victim and Nicole's brand being at stake. 

    At the mat they said the stress of possibly being u-turned made them under-perform. Rachel started getting defensive and telling them they were playing the victim. At that point I think the day caught up to Nicole and she started crying.

    Everyone on Extinction Island has almost no chance of getting back in the game but they're smart to stay -- if they leave, they're not on the jury. If you can't win this game, you'd damn sure at least want a say in who does. (Plus, more screentime.) That said, they need to get on with it

    Are we sure if you don't go to EoE you're not on the jury? Probst says the "x person voted out and x member of the jury" before they make the decision. I though they could choose to go to Ponderosa and still be on the jury, just not have a chance to get back in.
