So it's actually Hen who's, once again, the interim captain.

... ABC does like to respect their queer characters (we also seem to be getting more of Karen than we did on FOX and they do already have a good, and pre-established, history with Tracie in that Thursday-night lineup which does, sadly, make crossovers moot unless they, like FOX, continues to expect audiences to believe that exact doppelgängers exist). Could they be adding to more with two more of their beloved, and main-stay, characters? Only time (and maybe Ryan) will tell.

... But I'm still not holding my breath.

9-1-1 s07e02 reaction rambles

s07e02

This is not good, but it will be alright. Well, there he goes. Yess, Athena. Poor guy, that's rough. Well, he kept his word, that was decent. The storm is not good though. Where do I know that guy from? My team, awww. 

Captain Hen, queen. Eddie's little nod at Buck, speaks of years of partnership. Oh, poor Hen. She is gonna doubt her actions now.

Nostalgic conversation, the little tears. He's happy, aww. I love it when she swears. 

Oh fuck no, now even more doubt. She did follow protocol, how absolute shit. 

How do you wanna get out of the ship? I know she loved doing that. Captain is a badass btw. My wife!!! Is it a bomb?? Shit, it's a bomb. A big one, well damn. 

The way they are comforting her. The slap, Buck's smile, shuttup. Eddieee, babe, why are you giving her doubts? Buck not helping, they talked themselves into this trap. Dumbasses. Their defeated faces.

This dude is super annoying. My wife!! Go Athena. Be useful, fucker. 

Henren, yayy. Karen calling her wife out, but also validating her feelings is so awesome wife of her. Karen keeping an eye out. Karen knows she lost her. 

Bobby is so worried. "Of course, she is", a proud and worried husband right there. 

Maddiee. Going to Maddie for help, love it. Maddie's puppy eyes. 

The hand covering her hand is a beautiful shot. The way she relaxed. The look between them. Flashback with Frank, whoop. The way they are both a little bit insecure. The way he doesn't stop trying, Bobby, breaking my heart here. Baby!! Bobby, nooo. Tears. Tell him, Thena. Awwww. Her panicked breaths. Her screams. The hands. He was useful after all. Heart attack, my heart is beating so fast. 

Thank god. The way she was already accepting being fired, but she isn't. He listened, but he isn't allowed to act. Go Hen. 

Does she speak Spanish?? Her run. Not exactly, my ass, haha. It's not funny, but it is. At least, there aren't any windows in the casino. Did they capsize, yeah, okay. Cliffhanger, damn.

Aisha did what needed to be done for Gavin and ...

... Angela wants more grandma time.

Wishlist season 6

This is my very late rendition of what I want to happen in season six of 9-1-1. I haven't watched anything yet, so it's spoiler free.

- Eddie is in therapy. What I mean is I want to hear about his therapy and that he is still going and maybe even seeing a little bit of it. 

- I want Chim to apologise to Buck about punching him because that was out of line, and it was never acknowledged, even though I think it was a lot for Buck, emotionally. Or at least an acknowledgment that it happened and that the team and Maddie are aware.

- I want the team to find out about the will and their reactions to it.

- I want more poker nights with Buck, Maddie, Josh, Hen, and Chim because it's fun.

- I also want Eddie hanging with the girls, trying new recipes, and just having fun and self-care, yay! And with the girls, I mean Karen, Linda, and May, even if she is off to college.

- About May going off to college plus Harry being with Micheal. I am curious to see how Bobby and Athena's relationship is going to progress because they always had the kids there and worried about them, so how different is it without them? 

- I also need more detective and detective Wilson. I love them. More pleaseee. Just cute, no angst. 

- Uncle Buck (Jee's)/ dad Buck (Chris's)

- I also always need more Chris. Always.

- I want Maddie and Chim back together, but I feel like they need to talk about everything that happened and why it happened the way it did and for them to slowly work their way back to each other.

- More team hangouts

- Carlaaaa!!!!

- One thing I am not sure about is wanting more of Eddie's childhood because what they did in season 5 with Eddie's family was bullshit, and I don't want that to be made worse. Like, I want it only if it follows my idea of canon otherwise, never mind. 

- Also, I DON'T want anyone to die.

I know Chris growing up is a theme for this season, and everything under here has something to do with that.

 - I want Eddie to explore himself and do things that he hasn't done before and normally wouldn't do but has the freedom to do so now. Also, partly because I don't think he was able to when he was younger. Maybe go clubbing, meet new people, and not tell anyone about it because he is a bit ashamed but also kind off wants to figure it out himself first. And maybe a bit of Buck is angsting over the fact that Eddie is not telling him something. Not incredibly angsty, though, just a little for spice. 

- I think Eddie is going to struggle a lot with Chris becoming independent for multiple reasons. One is because of Chris' cerebral palsy. He wants to protect and help him, but he starts to realise that he can't always, which is hard. Second, I think he is going to doubt his worth as a father, specifically. I think he feels that he already missed so much of Chris's life, and he wants to keep him close to himself a little longer. He is going to second guess all his decision, especially if Chris is going to get emotionally hurt. 

- I just know that Eddie is going to talk to Buck about and Buck is going to try and soothe him and help but internally Buck is just as freaked out about it as Eddie. So they are freaking out together. Buck rants to Hen about Chris growing up because Hen is in that same stage with Denny. Also, someone needs to address that Chris is looking more like Buck, every day.

- I also need more domestic Buckley-Diaz family moments. They heal my soul.

- And last but not least, maybe unpopular, but I don't want Buddie to get together yet in the first part of season 6. The reasoning is that of the Eddie thing (hoe) and because I love a slow burn and because I want to see everyone being done with them being oblivious, and I want outsiders' perspectives on their situation. Like the PTA mums. I also want Chris to just tell people that he has 2 dads but that they are not married but should be and will be if Chris has anything to say about it. 

Also, I want the love confession to be this beautiful, small, peaceful moment. For example, Eddie accidentally kisses Buck, goes on with his day, and then somewhere realising, oh shit, I kissed Buck, and then I want him to go back home to a sleep rumpled Buck and then a confession. Or cuddling in the same bed because of nightmares, and then waking up next to each other and then a love confession. I'd rather it not happen when one of them just almost died. Anything but that. 

I am almost 2 weeks late, but here is episode 18 from s5 9-1-1. I am so excited, and my hope for something is so high. I also hope they won't get hurt again, please. 

I initially saw nothing wrong with mushrooms in the tea. Like, I thought he was allergic and then realised they were talking about the narcotic. In my defense, in my country, they are a meal if you eat them with some sauce. 

Bobby, what is going on? I am just as confused as Chim and Buck. They couldn't have moved those stones real quick? Now the thing is unstable. So it's not the rocks but the cliff, great. I knew something was going to happen the moment Bobby said he would go down. It's always the ladder truck, isn't it? It's bad, but they are not hurt, so that's good. My poor mentally unstable father-son duo. It wasn't their fault, any of it. "Kid", shut up. 

The smile and the chuckle, aw. I love how they go back and forth. I also love that we know things because they tell each other things because otherwise we would have never known. Maybe that makes no sense but whatever. Oh no, Bobby. She is going to college, yay. Chim, that panic sip was not subtle. Maddie's face, help. I am so happy for her. It also fits perfectly in the schedule. May goes, and Maddie comes back. I will miss seeing more May when she moves away. I am here for meteologist Albert. That makes me so happy. Chris would react the same as Denny, Buck would tell him all about it, and Eddie wants them to please talk about something else. What is going on with Karen? Yeah, I get that. Fair is fair. You don't need to fix it, just talk about it. They are okay, yay. I love this relationship, btw. Like, someone who has decent parents-in-law. Buck, Eddie, Chim, and Maddie can't say the same. I missed this friendship. Go, Maddie. 

The awkward silence. Buck's face and his look at Chim. God help me. I am actually crying. That is hilarious. Lucy, changing the topic, genius. Well, that didn't work. Bobby 100% knows what they are trying to do. Buck!! I was like, oh, he is going to smile because Eddie is his partner and has his back, and then "Until they stick a knife in it." Nevermind. Buck's smile. I love the team dynamic. So the team knows, okay. I love that they joke about it. Oh no, Chim. Apparently, Bobby did not know. Bobby, no, listen to your wife. 

Not Maddie that has to respond. That went better than expected. Buck looks good. Buckley siblings. I am so proud of you. This is better for both of you. Finally. I love Eddie and May's friendship, and I always need more of it. I am sorry, but Eddie's posture reminds me of a guy picking up a girl for a date and who is about to show the bouquet of flowers that he has behind his back. That is a really good speech. I think it got through to Bobby. I also love that Eddie is still 'I don't know how to be vulnerable in front of most people Eddie'. Like, he used Christopher to escape as fast as possible. I am so proud. I am crying. Omg. 

They look so good, shut up. So it's a surprise? I love how they got out of there as fast as possible, haha. Yes, Toni. That sigh of relief when Taylor walked out. Chim and Maddie hopefully getting back together. The first steps were made. I adore Christopher Diaz from the bottom of my heart. I am kind of disappointed we didn't get to hear the vows and stuff. They are also mean for not showing if Buck and Eddie were actually sitting next to each other. Also, where is Christopher in his little suit? They are going on vacation, good for them. I wanted to see the rest of the wedding. I live for details. Firefighter Eddie Diaz, shut the fuck up. I want to scream so loudly. Everyone looks so serious, and Buck is smiling. 

I am so happy, I feel like crying. We are going to have Buck and Eddie working together again. Omg. I am so excited for next season, and I cannot wait. Something is going to happen on that cruise, though.

9-1-1 s06e06

I am going into this with the knowledge that something will happen to Karen.

2010, interesting. Is that when they first met? Omg, that is so cute. Chim set them up, I love that. You complain about her now, but you just looked at her like she is everything. He knows her so well. Is Denny also going to be in the lab when it goes wrong because then we get a tsunami kind of situation? No phones, that is not good foreshadowing. And that is another drop in an almost full barrel. Oh shit. Okay, Denny is okay, that's good. I could have told you that. They can't make promises, but he did. Chim's nod. Cuddle your son Hen even if it's hard right now to wait. The way she would have gone inside if anyone besides her family had told her to stay outside. Whoop, get it. You were caught doing the walk of shame, lovee. Chim's face. Don't you wanna carpool, I love that. She is okay, thank god. This shouldn't be funny, but the way Bobby casually says someone is missing an arm is. Something else has to happen though, because we are only 20 minutes in. Athenaa. Told you. Awww. Who let her reanimate her own wife?? That is such a Chim way to do it. She is back. Eddie's face when Buck said that. You absolute dumbass.  And she is back. Paramedic Henrietta Wilson. Aww, you are going to make me cry. So fucking cute.

9-1-1 s06e05 Detective Buckley, you will panic your captain if you word it like that. His punishment, lol. Maddie, that's so smart, I love it. Bobby's face when May sneezed. Like mother, like daughter. Bobby, you manipulative little shit. This will go wrong. This is fun. Haha, no wonder the dog had to leave. This is hilarious. Well, she didn't do it, but who then? I am putting my bets on the new guy. Chim's face, haha. I knew it. They did not tell Eddie why they wanted him to take Hoover, poor Eddie. Separation anxiety, I love Chris. Is Buck the specialist? Oh, it's Chim. Poor Hoover, he has seen everyone. 118 family tour. Grant-Nash barbecue. Okay, shade. The eyebrows said it all. And there is Eddie. Karen?! Oh fuck. Not Karen. I am scared now.

Here is 9-1-1 s06e02

I am guessing that something will crash, looking at the title. Poor Athena, I love how comforting Bobby is. I was not expecting an affair, but I love it. Sassy Eddie and Hen. Maddie is so sweet. I need more of Chim and Hen's friendship because it's so siblingy without being siblings, you know? If Hen goes on like this, she will miss her exam because she is sleeping. "Get her a pillow" should not be as funny as it is. Aww, them running away like it could have been anyone else. I hope it goes well. Question. Is it an American thing to not sit at separate tables during an exam, or is this just the show? Oh no, I have bad feelings about this. Shit. Oh, thank god. You better keep that promise, Henrietta Wilson.

Bobby was right, though. Oh no, Buck. Not another old man. I can't watch Buck cry, I am crying, shit. He is sobbing, omg. This is tough on the whole team and also specifically Hen because this is her first tough decision as captain but Buckk. I adore Eddie and Chim teaming up to comfort their besties, so cute. Okay, serious moment but holy hell, how buff did he get?? Omg. Buck's curiosity is always great to hear but also a bit sad. The reason it is sad is that he always looks so lost like he needs someone to tell him because he can't trust his own intuition. I think he is looking for a universal answer, but that doesn't exist. Happiness is so subjective that the only he can do is look at his life and the people and go from there.

Dammit, she failed. It's so sweet that in the beginning, Karen is a bit pissed, but when she notices something is wrong, she immediately comforts Hen. I love how instead of being angry, she is so supportive even though she is scared, I love her. What the fuck? Uh?? I am in shock.

Now ep15 from 9-1-1. Let's go.

Eddie and May's friendship is top tier. Work besties. Jee's hair is getting so long. Awwwww, "She is not the first kid you raised, that was me." Shut the fuck up, that's adorable. Buck giving the You are a good parent, even if you missed a lot, speech to both Eddie and Maddie is everything. Their smiles.

 Athena looks so happy, it's cute. Mother-daughter moment. Karen and Hen date night, whoop. We love to see. I am afraid that something is going to happen, though. I told you. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, thank god for that. Karen's sheepish face, haha. 

Buck's little skips, aww. He is so excited. He is such a golden retriever. I am 99% sure that he and Eddie watch this together late at night when Christopher has gone to bed, and they are chilling on the couch. Yay for communication. Firefam interaction about something other than work is what I live for. I love their responses. 

This is so sad, wtf. I am crying and want to bawl, but I can't because there are people close. The older daughter knew, ouch. Everyone present is going home and cry their eyes out. 

Go, Karen! Hen is being a cautiously supportive wife. Detective and Detective Wilson are on the roll. Go party bitches. I adore the ending. I just need a scene where Buck goes home to Eddie and Chris. Jee is getting so big.  

I love and hate this episode. I hate it because it's so sad. The rest is awesome.

I am nervous about them getting hurt, but I know that if it happens, it won't be Buck and Eddie. That sounds really mean, but they've been through it with the physical injuries. 

Yes, to the Hen/ Chim friendship. I am already loving every minute of it. Go, team. Buck's correction after Eddie's look is fantastic. Like we both have shitty parents, whoop. Buck looks so loving in this scene. It's how he is looking at Eddie. I love that he already has a backup plan ready, typical Eddie. 

That is so Bobby, and it is so dad like to have a sticky note with the password. I love this duo, and they match each other so well. Chim is panicking, and Hen is as cool as a cucumber. I need more Ravi. Chim is right. 

Eddie and Pepa, and Abuela as a united front. I love this. I love that Eddie has them. That sounded condescending coming from Ramon. Detective and Detective Wilson. I am starting to get scared about Buck being involved, he should have been looking after Chris. Taylor is not going to keep this off the books, and that is how Jonah is going to find out they suspect him and attack them. Buck knows that she is going to talk. He looks so soft, though. I think this will be the thing that breaks them up. 

Yes, Eddie, let it out. Stupid Ramon, why have him have a heart attack? If Eddie is going to forgive him because he had a heart attack, I am going to scream. So it wasn't a heart attack, good. Dramatic bitch. They believe them thank god. Dammit Taylor. Poor Buck, this is going to be the breakup.

My dude, you blew it the moment you said Eddie wasn't a good father to Christopher, and I hope that Eddie never forgives you for it. I don't believe a word that is coming from your mouth.

Jonah better die. If something happens to Karen, I will riot. Not Chim and Jee-Yun. Dammit. Omg. Karen, please, for the love of everything, call the police. Oh, thank god. Maddie and Jee-Yun weren't there yet. Yes, Maddie. This is giving me a heart attack. Yes Chim, good job. Fuck. Great teamwork, guys. I have a headache.  Everyone is okay, we are good. Can you imagine the phone call Buck has to give Eddie after all of this? Yes, Bobby. Good job, I hate it when Owen does it, but both of you had good reason for it in these episodes. Bobby's panic at seeing his family hurt. He is mad. I do need more uncle buck and Jee time. They are ride or die, and I love it. I love their friendship. They are so cute and are going to make me cry. 

I loved this episode. But one thing I would have liked to see more of is Eddie in Texas. Because that is such an important place for him with a lot of conflicted feelings. I don't like how Eddie forgave his dad or his mom for that matter. Because to be very honest, I think that they still think Eddie is a bad father. Also, there should have been more conversation. Finding Ramon has a condition took the focus of that. I do love that they made Eddie vulnerable in that chat, but for me, that wasn't enough. A lot of Eddie's trauma is rooted in his childhood, and that should have been addressed more. This is why I don't think it was a good idea to bring Chris, but I am disappointed that we didn't see him more. The rest of the episode was great.

I won't be able to see the finale until at least Saturday but maybe even Sunday or Monday because I am so busy.

This is about s05e16 from 9-1-1. Be warned it's almost 700 words.

Is this the episode with the fire? Because then I am scared. I know nobody will die, at least none of the main characters, but I'm still scared. Let them be alright, please.

She annoys me so much. Like, give credit. That was May's call. Dad Bobby. "You mess with MY kid." Shut the fuck up. That's adorable. He didn't promise. That was not the right thing to say, Chim. Eddie's face, haha. He is drinking the tea/ coffee instead of spilling it. That was hilarious. And good for you, May, yell at her. Joss, you hopeless idiot. I do not trust that man. I have never seen you before. Oh no, May is going to be locked in that room, and Eddie will go and try to find her. Shit. Did he just tease Josh about a crush? Eddie, you dog. I hate Claudette with everything I have, and May should slap her. Claudette got a point, but I still don't like her.

Firefighter Eddie Diaz, whoop. Buddie teamwork again this makes me so happy. I am smiling so hard. "He has been waiting months to say that." I love their friendship, aww. Eddie's face when Buck starts rambling. He is like, not the time, not the time. "Don't tell your mother." Haha. 

This is all going too well. I am nervous. Not the exact same way he lost Kevin, oh no. I suspected, oh god. Thank god they are all still alive. I love the immediate look and run from Buck and Eddie. That scene is so beautiful. When they all came walking out of the building. I have tears in my eyes. I love the friendship Eddie has with the dispatchers. "I am just glad you weren't with him." That sentence feels so weird. Because Buck has red eyes and looks like he is going to fall apart any moment, and that has nothing to do with Lucy. That has to do with almost losing Bobby, who is like a father to him. To say that feels like they are minimising that feeling. I hate that line. It makes no sense. Taylor is catching on. Which almost makes it worse. That they made that the focus instead of Buck getting a hug or being with Bobby feels very wrong. Like, I don't like Taylor and Buck together, but she knows him well enough to know how much Bobby means to him and for her not to go up to him makes no sense. Even for like a minute. And where was Eddie during all of this? That scene was amazing, but that part kind of ruined it. 

Aw, May and Bobby. Yes, Josh get it. That was being supportive good job Chim. Albert's smile. Buck and Eddie are in the background. What are you doing gentleman? You looking awfully close there. I kinda love that Buck is with Eddie while Taylor is also there. I like how she handled that, that was classy. But it is also clear that she is worried about Buck while also wanting to see how Lucy would react. 

Yeah, that makes no sense. She was up and talking, and I just don't trust him. Poor May. Also, how is it that Bobby and the rest of the crew were in the hospital faster than Claudette? Bobby and May one thing, but the rest, no. It's weird. She is suspicious good. Do we get detective Wilson back? Yess Karen. I think that we need more Karen in this series.

This is a good episode and very action filled, and that is what we need once in a while. I love how May had the focus this episode, and you see how awesome she is. I also need more of her. I am curious if Eddie will go back to 118. He has Christophers blessing. I am a bit scared about what will happen with Jonah next episode.

Damn it (GIF check in).

Dealing with the hater (who doesn’t even know that I completely agree with them if we’re right about who it is sending that stuff about the lack of fan focus on the already established queer characters, and how it’s racist by omission, given that 3/4 - 4/5 if we get to keep Dr. Hale - of them are black) didn’t leave me time to even check the show’s tags on here since the finale aired. ... Tomorrow’s going to be a long day for me in this fandom. The GIFs are coming. I promise.

(ie. I feel like I’m missing out on all of the fun)

OF COURSE Bobby was a mini Doug Dorsey!

... And, it’s official, the entire cast has made me cry. Where do I go to sign up to hug Aisha, Ryan, and Tracie?
