S13.E17: A Beast Like This


Recommended Posts

All of these recycled storylines... ugh. 

The Severides aren't approved foster parents. I don't know how adopting a troubled kid would work unless she's already in the foster system and eligible for permanent adoption? Gabby was a foster, Cruz was approved through the refugee program and then legally adopted, Sylvie's was a direct adoption from the mother, and Casey's was guardianship of kids whose mother was in prison. Would any of those apply here? Hmm... presumably Severide and Kidd are on the wait list for a newborn or infant... 

I thought this episode was boring. Damon is also a recycled Jimmy Borelli and Blake Gallo. Eager to prove themselves, be "the best," with slight arrogance problems... They even all look similar.

Cue Severide and Kidd adopting the troubled teen?

Good grief. Like we all couldn't see that coming a mile away. I mean, I get it - there's not much you can do with a baby, whereas a teenager can provide all sorts of drama. Trouble is, we've been down this road over and over. Can't this show come up with anything original anymore? Why have Kidd and Severide adopt at all? Not everyone needs to have kids. Sheesh.

Now that people here have mentioned it, there have been a heck of a lot oof adoptions among the characters on the show. How wild of a concept is it for firefighters to have natural children.

It's not a wild concept for men, like Herrmann and Cruz.  But Stella does have a very good point about not wanting to get pregnant if she wants to keep doing her job.  She'd be on desk duty for at least a year...

True, but does EVERYBODY need to have a kid? God forbid anyone doesn't want kids. And after everyone else on this show has had or adopted kids it just feels like the writers don't know what else to do with their characters. Give 'em a kid!

I was so hopeful Stella would buck the trend and tell Kelly she didn't want to have kids and they'd stay childfree. It'd be really nice to see that on TV more.
