9-1-1: You Don't Know Me (2024)
Disappointing and confusing
Honestly this episode was kinda disappointing after such an amazing 4 episodes. The amount of whiplash I felt was truly record breaking.
It's clear that the only story and well-thought out plot was the HenRen family storyline, which I loved, but it's clear it belonged in the previous episode. I also do NOT appreciate the comparison of a traumatized black girl to a stupid dog. Who the hell thought that was ok?!
Another pick, was Eddie & Marisol. They need to break up. I hate her, we barely seen her or their relationship, and she's played by a bigoted actress who should not be kept on a show all about inclusion and love.
Who's dumb idea was it to have a war veteran with a minor child let their barely 2 months girlfriend move in with them while said son is away for a couple days. Especially after a previous episode where it was discussed that said son was having issues with the death of his mother and other girls/women in his life?!?!
All in all pretty disappointing. The little prelude to the Madney wedding was fun and I can't wait to see the hijinks that occur. Please Chim, be ok, at least for Maddie's sake. Lol.
9-1-1: Abandon Ships (2024)
A great start to the season!
What an episode! ABC really breathed new life to this show that made me excited to watch it again. It really felt like I was watching the show for the first time again but kept to the core of these characters. The writing was tighter and the camera work was phenomenal as it really helped with the subtext of the scenes.
Then we get to character stuff like Captain Hen being a decisive and competent leader and just all around best friend. Madney being a lovely couple even with Chim's misguided intentions to keep the relationship fresh. I also need Bathena to stay intact; they are soulmates and I know Athena just needs some reassurances. See Bobby trying to reach out is something I'm excited to see in the next 2 episodes. But I do love their crime-fighting duo status.
And last but not least, Buddie. They are quite literally co-parenting Chris together. Banter between the two flows so easily and we had more scenes of them together in this one episode then we did of all of s6. It truly felt like something has shifted there, and that may be the delusion talking, but I can't wait to see the rest of the season.
9-1-1: Rock the Boat (2024)
On the edge of my seat
WOW!!! What an episode!! The only true word that comes to mind is STRESS. I was on the edge my seat from the beginning as Norman got shot, as the ship blew up, as Bathena save the day and say their unplanned goodbyes, up until the very last moment when the ship is overturned. This 3 part premiere is off with a bang and doesn't show signs of stopping. I love it! Also Capitan Hen being incredibly competent and a cute little Henren moment.
ABC really took this show and cranked it up to an 11, it's really bringing back that feeling that made want to watch 911 in the first place. Can't wait for next week's episode and the conclusion to the premiere.
9-1-1: Capsized (2024)
The 118 is truly the most dedicated and reckless team I've ever seen
Back at it again with the word of the week: STRESS.
I absolutely loved this episode and the end to the cruise arc. I was on the edge of my seat hoping that these characters made it out alive and the fact the ABC did not pull any punches made it really worth watching.
We already know Bobby was a superhero, watching him trapeze his way to Norman while the boat capsized, then we get the death's of Wes and The mother caught in the door. The kid trapped within his room and Julien's subsequent death and last moment flare gun.
The writing was fantastic and the camera work was *chef's kiss*. I felt every moment that the boat moved and rocked and I felt the emotion and tension of the scenes.
Also love Captain Wilson following her gut and always being right. It was cute to see Tommy back and have a girls moment with Maddie. I will say I'm surprised that this team has yet to be fired after what they did, but as the new 118 motto says, "Who Cares!".
9-1-1: Buck, Bothered and Bewildered (2024)
Culmination of things we waited for!!
100 episodes of memories and truly an amazing milestone! I loved this episode, it was great to see all these callbacks to past characters and storylines.
Now for the little stuff: It was a great to see Harry again, even with a recast. Plus the Bachelor crossover was fun. Although I do feel so sad for that woman with the face blindness but it was beautiful tie-in to Harry's arc. Also my love Ravi was back, even if it was in a small way.
Now the big thing: BI BUCK IS CANON!!!!!!! First we get petty and jealous Buck and kinda mean Eddie who was way too oblivious to how his best friend was feeling. I know he had no bad intentions but it was fun to see Buck spiral a bit; with some help & healthy gossip sessions with Maddie. Then we get the reveal about the root cause of his feeling which were actually directed towards Tommy and liking him directly, leading to an on-screen kiss and confirmation of Bi Buck.
I love the 7 season culmination of Buck's journey and self discovery and the representation it provides to those discovering themselves at a later stage. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see more . ABC really brought this show to a next level.
