"Red Waterfall"
allmoviesfan28 August 2023
A suitably epic finale to the season with the entire 51 crew getting involved in thwarting a terrorist attack on the city. Whilst some scenes were a little unbelievable (you'll see what I mean!) there was some tense action throughout.

Just disappointed we didn't get a Chicago PD cameo or three.

We did, however, get news of Brett's future. Will she be able to adopt the baby or not? Some really solid acting across the board here. None more so than Kara Killmer.

The finale also included an appearance by Australia's Jesse Spencer, bringing back Matt Casey. Obviously the showrunners are trying to slot him in where they can, especially in Taylor Kinney's ongoing absence.

Now, following what I'll call part one of the finale cliff-hanger, Spencer's status as a full-timer on the show going forward is going ho need to be answered. Even before the finale twist, there were real-world whispers that he may be back, and his recent cameos talking about how the Darden kids are getting older lends credence to that theory.

There was another part to the cliff-hanger, involving another much-loved character, just after it looked like it was all sunshine and rainbows, and I have a sinking feeling that we'll be waiting a long time to find out what happens with the writer's strike and now the actor's strike threatening to scuttle TV's best laid plans.

If this was the last Chicago Fire episode for a while, at least it went out on a high.

Warning: Spoilers
This was a typical exciting episode that I would normally have given a 9 rating but for the Show-runners forced effort to account for Severides abcence , the reinsertion of Casey that makes about as much sense as an Alabama snow in July and Bretts convenient break up with her boy friend made this episode about a plausible as an air breathing flying machines on the moon. To recall a rookie homeland security expert from Seattle to Chicago is nonsense - as a Major city it has an A team of homeland specialists that have forgotten more about security than Casey will ever know , Severides absence is throwing an implausible monkey wrench into the chemistry and story telling of this series - and the tipping point for this redicules season final was Casey proposing to Brett - good theater but totally unrealistic nonsense - if Severide comes back - and Casey leave again - Chicago fire will again return to my must watch list - if not - I don't care if there is a new season.
