This show just about clung in there on my watching schedule last season but if the rest of the season is as yawn-worthy as this season premiere then I don't know how long I'm going to continue watching it. Truth be told if it wasn't due to my desire to be up- to-speed during the Chicago crossovers, I would have probably dropped Chicago Fire a long time ago.

All that build-up with the epic fire at the end of the last season and no one actually ends up dead or with life-changing injuries? I'm sorry TPTB you chose to kill my favourite character Shay a few seasons ago but everyone comes out just fine at the end of this cliffhanger?! That's just silly.

At the very least I would have expected the writers to try something new now we've hit Season 6 but alas that is too much to ask. Severide is still sleeping around, a random friend of Brett who I really don't care about is introduced as a new love interest, Dawson/Casey are still skirting around domestic issues and there's a new arsonist on the loose.

The only thing I really, truly enjoyed was Cruz doing everything to please Mouch to make up for the events at the end of last season.

Remember that great cliffhanger where half of the squad was surely going to die? Yeah, that didn't happen. Even 50 years old fatso with heart problems resuscitated in smoke filled room and boiled alive shortly afterwards walks away unscathed. Guess even screenwriters couldn't stomach this amount of BS because they did not show any of the recovery at all. That makes me miss Severides "arm injury drama" of season 1. Guess guys just toughen up after 5 seasons. And who knows - maybe in season 7 Mouch will join X-man or something?
