9-1-1 Finale: With Bobby At Death’s Door (Again), Peter Krause Reflects on His Character’s ‘Fascinating’ Journey

Quote

“Bobby’s been a very fascinating character for me to play. When I first met with Ryan Murphy and he pitched [Bobby’s story] to me, I thought, ‘That’s a lot of people to die in a fire.’ But I love that 9-1-1 is a vehicle for storytelling about resilience, and in Bobby’s case, redemption. I’ve really enjoyed playing him. There are some harder days in terms of the emotional work, but we’re pushing what you can do on network television.”

I fully applaud Oliver Stark for this post - IMHO, it's the tools posting the whiny "You've ruined my show - never watching again!" impotent threats/rants that need the chill pill. A huge thank you to

This is a reason not to watch, not something that makes me eager for the future.

I assume they're just gonna be the villains next season. Which might make for an interesting storyline. Hopefully next season without the writer's strike affecting will have better plotting in general.

Did this show need villains, though? I'd argue no. I think it's done just fine without, excepting characters like the bomber and the rapist that Athena went after. I think it's just another dumbing down of the show into another typical drama instead of what it was.

Nope! The “villains” should be the weather and other unpredicted natural events, and the victims’ own stupidity.

There's not Small Talk thread, so I'm leaving this here: I've been watching some of hte S4/S5 eps and I sure do hope they go back to the rescues / cases of the week format.

I am in the minority and like the Big disaster over several episodes stories.  I think it goes a long way for setting up the storylines for the season (what this show has of them). Plus I always hated case of the week shows with no connection to a larger plot.  Besides big disasters are just fun to watch.

At least it looks like a return to sort of fun/outrageous rescues. Though I can't imagine how that could be a rescue.

Not looking forward to see Capt. Gerrard again but am excited for the big disaster and Eddie’s moustache! 😆

Is it really a three parter?  I didn't see that mentioned in @Snazzy Daisy's teaser video.

Not the video, but this ad:

Well, rats. Or should I say bees. I'm not fond of three parters. Or two parters for that matter.

Fall TV Preview 2024: Exclusive Scoop and Photos on 25+ Returning Favorites!

spacer.png

Eddie’s Season 8 mustache, which showrunner Tim Minear confirms to TVLine is a “manifestation of something that’s going on within him,” has taken social media by storm — but we’re sad to report that, like all good things, it won’t last forever. Minear says the emotional reason behind the ‘stache will be explored “in an episode where he shaves it off.” Speaking of mustaches, Buck has an especially difficult time bowing to Gerrard as the 118’s new captain. (“He’s awful, and he’s an awfully fun character to have in the mix.”) On the bright side, Buck’s relationship with Tommy is going strong (“They’re still getting to know each other a little better”), so at least he’ll have someone to complain to after a long day of putting up with his racist, sexist, homophobic boss. Meanwhile, Bobby becomes a technical advisor on a “ridiculous firefighter show that’s nothing like reality”; Councilwoman Ortiz will remain a thorn in Hen and Karen’s sides as they fight to get their foster care license reinstated; newlyweds Maddie and Chimney weigh the pros and cons of growing their own family; and the return of a familiar face from Athena’s past will force her to “deal with a seminal event in her canonical life.”

BONUS SPOILER!: The two recurring villains of Season 8, Captain Gerrard and Councilwoman Ortiz, are “connected in many ways,” Minear hints.

RETURN DATE: Thursday, Sept. 26, at 8/7c (ABC)

Why would anyone be trucking "killer bees" around? They are an invasive species and not the kind that is cultivated for agricultural purposes.

The bees that we need to pollinate a huge number of crops we humans depend on are actually in dangerous decline, and really don't need bad publicity.

I hope the show has an explanation and doesn't just gloss over this.

9-1-1 boss previews season 8, with Bobby retired, Buck struggling, Eddie mourning, and Athena facing her past

Spoiler

"We're hitting the ground running," Minear says of kicking things off with the bees. But the insects will "lead to a slightly different disaster at the end of the first hour that takes us through the next two episodes," he continues, teasing that the second crisis is inspired by a different '70s disaster movie.”

From 'bee-nado' to a plane catastrophe: 9-1-1 boss teases what's to come for Athena in episode 2

Quote

After deciding to pay homage to the 1970s disaster movie The Swarm with a "bee-nado" in the season 8 premiere of the ABC first responder drama, Minear was keen to keep the '70s cinema celebration going and pivot to a storyline inspired by Airport '75.

 

'9-1-1' Season 8 Episode 2 Was Inspired By This Classic Disaster Movie

Quote

"Well, there are injuries to be taken care of on the plane. And there is a plane currently without a pilot, by the time we land into episode two. And it's just a thrill ride of 'How is Athena Grant going to keep everybody on this plane, and on the ground, and herself, safe? And how is she going to get home to the man that she loves? And from the ground, what can [Peter Krause 's] Bobby do to make sure that happens?'"

I miss Michael Grant, his relationship with Harry and his bromance with Bobby. 😩

9-1-1 Cast Exits Ranked: Which Characters Do You Miss Most?

 

I miss Michael — his exit left a HUGE hole in the show. I loved his relationships with both Bobby and Athena. i loved their whole blended family, which leads me to...
 

I very much miss May. I thought there was tons of potential storyline for her as she continued to transition into adulthood.
 

I think anyone involved in the decision to let Grace go from Lone Star was just out and out stupid. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face in a final season.

‘9-1-1’ Spinoff in the Works at ABC as Ryan Murphy Explains Why ‘Lone Star’ Was Axed (EXCLUSIVE)

Quote

“Tim Minear and I are working on a new spinoff that we’re actually writing, and that we hope to get on the air next fall. Sadly, we all love ‘Lone Star,’ but the financials just didn’t work. It’s a Disney company that was on a Fox network, and it just was never going to work. And we had a long run of it. So now we’re going to launch a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s fun. And ‘9-1-1’ moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday night. They obviously have an appetite for that, so we’re going to give them another one that I really love.”

On Monday’s Jeopardy!, sadly, in the category of WOMEN ON TV, this clue:

  • A 2-time Oscar nominee, she plays Athena Grant on “9-1-1”

was a Triple Stumper☹️; nobody knew Angela Bassett, even with a picture that looked like her (sometimes the clue photo shown is not typical of the famous face).

Oliver Stark Teases "A Lot Of Clarity" For Buck & Tommy In Upcoming 9-1-1 Episode

Quote

"Yeah, [Tommy is] in Episode 5, a good amount, and is able to, I was going to say support Buck through some difficult times, but I don't know if he's always that helpful in this scenario. [Laughs] He's a little bit weirded out by some things going on with Buck. And then in Episode 6, there's a lot of clarity on where their relationship is at and a lot of truths learned about each other. I think it's going to be a really great episode."
