anna0852 Thursday at 04:11 AM Share Thursday at 04:11 AM Kidd and Ruzek working together was a really good pairing. I think the two actors had excellent chemistry and the characters a good professional rapport. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151580-s12e11-in-the-trenches-part-iii/#findComment-8567728

Can someone explain back to me what the exact motive for the explosion was? To my understanding revenge by employees who got screwed over by the city for a mesothelioma settlement?

Yes, they were stealing the cryptocurrency. I think the extent of the explosion was unintentional and got way bigger than they meant to? I think they meant to set a fire as a diversion and then escape through the subway tunnel, but not actually blow everything up.

Raja Thursday at 01:56 PM Share Thursday at 01:56 PM Duffy's skill set was just too much, morse code. I was expecting military special forces so no surprise there. No forgiveness from the tunnel worker will be given. Dude on the roof pulling his gun to escape before he was properly rescued was giving the good guys an out. Was Sergeant Platt actually shot, 3 times worked on in the ER, killed and frozen to go through emergency surgery and then up and talking before the CFD was halfway through their rescues? Finally for the rescue to bust through a wall to Al Capone's tunnel we choose the four oldest firefighters, and surgeon, when it looked like the brute force of a 20/30 something man would be the critical skill needed. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151580-s12e11-in-the-trenches-part-iii/#findComment-8567884

Severide wasn't not going to go. He was going to go alone if he had to. The Chief makes sense too, and if it were still Boden, we all know he'd have gone. I was surprised that Carver and Ritter weren't still there to be the volunteers, but that was unfortunately probably just a budget choice. Another way to look at it though, is that all the officers went and didn't "make" a non-officer be at risk.

Snazzy Daisy Thursday at 11:03 PM Author Share Thursday at 11:03 PM PROS — The crossover is seamlessly done, it’s like 2 hours of cinematic experience. Kudos to all involved. I get to see Chief Dom Pascal in action for the first time. CONS — I am forced to watch Fire and Med to understand the whole story. Too much Stella Kidd for my liking, hate the character. The characters who are part of One Chicago couple/ship have been given more to do across 3-episodes compared to other characters like Kevin, Torres and Kiana. Forgetting Trudy’s birthday is the greatest sin of all, Mouch. Photographing the schematics in portrait mode, really Kim? 🙄 The last scene of Voight x Pascal, love it! 🔥 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151580-s12e11-in-the-trenches-part-iii/#findComment-8568271
Guildford Friday at 11:17 AM Share Friday at 11:17 AM I've only watched the PD episode (in part due to the fact that they country I live in only PD has the current season streaming.) & a few clips from the others, I can safely say not one single other character made me even slightly interested in checking out those other two shows again. A couple of points...... Ummmm don't they have a Rescue Squad for like, actual Rescues? And having to dig through tunnels seems like a Rescue type things. So you had Mouch, who's wife was only just bought back to life & that screachy man do the rescue. But I guess they had to rescue Saint Stella.🙄 Gotta say, for being stuck underground in a collapsed tunnel and recently fighting with the perp in rubble Kidd was immaculately clean when she came out (as were they all)... like come on... a least try. Of the clips I've seen of the other shows so Burzek finally said I love you again for the first time since season 2.... that's shitty writing to go that long & perhaps great acting & chemistry that everyone could see it but it was never said. Anyway... their reunion was cute. That's all I got. Congratulations though to the cast, crew & writers for putting basically a movie together seemlessly. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/151580-s12e11-in-the-trenches-part-iii/#findComment-8568615

Okay that's a "show" reason. I was thinking of Band of Brothers when a newly promoted battalion commander, Major Winters had the regimental commander Colonel Sink stopping him from personally moving forward to keep an attack by one company going. The Chief being more the regimental commander in this major emergency than the next level lower of the Major Winters equivalent Captain Herrmann Earlier we had the new Captain begging to get out training mode and move towards the fire because the Chief was there. With the Chief going down the tunnel to swing a hammer with the new Captain who was the Chief over the entire fight?

I'm guessing that Pascal was not the highest level of fire department command on the scene. If the Commissioner and many more Chiefs weren't also there, just off-camera, then it was way less realistic than any of us think.

I'm guessing that Pascal was not the highest level of fire department command on the scene. If the Commissioner and many more Chiefs weren't also there, just off-camera, then it was way less realistic than any of us think. In a real scenario of this nature (i.e. without a network TV show's budget for background actors, etc) you'd have hundreds of people on the scene, dozens of ambulances staged on standby, a gazillion local cops, staties, and federal LEOs, city engineers, the entire brass of the transit authority*, sewer department officials and every media agency within 500 miles of Chicago. On the fire side of things pretty much every white helmet in the city would be on scene and everybody from the suppression side of things from HQ as well. They would be running the show. Guys like Pascal, Boden and their equivalents would be in charge of individual aspects of the suppression and rescue efforts and would report to a higher ranking official who would have overall command of the scene. Boden would be in charge of probably 4 or 5 "Pascals," to put things into perspective. * My biggest continuity error in this crossover was transit. In many past episodes of this show, they've referred to the agency by its correct name, the Chicago Transit Authority, and shown CTA insignia, etc. The suddenly started to call it by the fictitious name of Chicago City Transit instead; I guess the CTA's lawyers didn't want any part of their agency in on this. One thing I'm wondering, when Severide and the rest of R3 went into the subway tunnel portal from outside at the end of Part 1, anybody know where that was actually filmed. I don't think Chicago has any disused subway tunnels (maybe a Metra line?? But it had a third rail, so maybe not). The rails were rusted over, so wherever it was that was out of service for quite some time. The rail geek in me is curious. And do NOT get me started on the Morse Code thing. I've been a licensed ham radio operator for 45 years, I can do CW in my head at 20-25 words per minute on a good day, and what they showed was utter hogwash. Visual code takes a mountain of training to decode in your brain. Audible code is far easier, but even then, nobody is going to figure it out easily or even recognize what's being transmitted.
