Pilot!Judd is…
So…
Like…
He’s annoying, I get it… I also get where he’s coming from…
But the show tries to frame this in such a specific way that DOESN’T work…
Because they try to make out that his “You’re doing your whole ‘we are the world’ thing, but you’ve got no room for a guy like me” speech is wildly off-base and bigoted…
But like… He’s not WRONG?
This speech happens IMMEDIATELY after a montage in which Owen boils both Marjan and Paul down to being respectively a Muslim woman and a trans man…
The show is EXPLICITLY using its characters for diversity point-scoring at this stage…

I don't understand LS's timeline... like, how is it that TK celebrates 1 year sober in march? I assumed he was clean since the OD and that was at least a few weeks before moving to Austin... how much time has it passed in canon? Any idea? 🤔
so i’ve actually tried so hard to figure it out but have kinda given up on it because it’s so constantly contradicting akdnskdnsms like:
- 1x01: opens with the accident that kills the original 126 save for Judd ; six months later, we meet owen and tk, and presumably a week later they’re in austin
(however, there’s a wrinkle here already: in 1x05, grace talks about how she and judd hadn’t been intimate since the accident, and her friend says four months ago in reference to the accident, so....already some discrepancy)
- 1x05: tk says it’s been 116 days since his “soulmate” refused his proposal, which we can also consider to be roughly how long he’s been sober since overdosing
- and then skipping ahead a bit, we have at least four months between 1x10 and 2x01, considering owen’s comment about gwyn being a squatter, and in that time the pandemic hits. the og 911 and 911ls have parallel timelines at least in 4x03/2x03 for the crossover. in 2x05 of 911ls, we know from the car accident scene that it’s around the time of second semesters for colleges to be starting, which is january/february (as far as i know, at least at my school in canada we started mid-january due to the pandemic).
so honestly, the timeline’s super confusing and it doesn’t really make sense that he’d be just getting around to his one year sobriety mark—unless a) he hasn’t been sober as long as we’ve been lead to believe, which i don’t buy, or b) the writers just dug themselves into a hole re: their chronology, which i’m more inclined to believe!
