The Confirmation That Ethan Used To Be Dhan’s Therapist But Closed Down His Practice After They Got

harry doodle page (this show makes me feel some type of way)

some close ups!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Zekes agoraphobia is triggered by an unwanted guest" Is the description for next episode like can it be Thursday now I need this episode now

Hugh is Abigail and Gabi is John. He is telling her ahead of time what his plan is by giving her the crucible also Abigail tells John they should run together so I assume he has a similar idea of how he is going to get her to come "willingly"

Their arrests and Jamie in the same episode!!!! That's crazy!!!!

Someone please explain to me why Sir dresses himself like a villain from a 1960s kid's show. Please be serious. 🤣🤣🤣

I mean he has the gloves and everything.

Everyone is like ooohhh! He's such a scary psychopath. Meanwhile I'm like when did preppy get into cosplay? Someone please call Slater to deal with him.

@caracalliope

I'd figure I share this for my mom cause she is set on her theory that's its Dhan working with sir and she doesn't post online so tell me your thoughts and I'll let her know lol

Gonna be so real, gang, I kinda expected Eddie to only get three seconds of screen time but it’s kinda wild that we got a time skip and pretty much everything revolving his immediate, acute grief happened off-screen.

Actually the time skip was the worst decision of the episode tbh. Like, I’m more than fine spending most of the immediate fallout from Bobby’s death with Athena (never gonna complain about more Angela Basset on my screen), but the idea that we hardly see any of the main character’s reckoning with the loss besides Athena and Chim? Thank god we got SOME Hen in the end but fuck man. Why did we jump ahead two weeks? Why did we spend so much time on what should’ve been a B-plot? How is Bobby dead but still had more screen time than other main characters but also got a janky montage as a funeral rather than an entire episode grieving his death? Literally what. Was any of that?

And the stoic Buck of it all? Yeah, people who called that they’re setting him up for captain were right and truly I hate that with my whole heart. For seasons, so much of Buck’s character growth has been routed in realizing that he can’t always be “the guy who fixes things” and how he can’t be everything to everybody and more importantly that he doesn’t NEED to be to still be loved and accepted. And now they’re setting him up to the center point of the 118, the figure that every other firefighter looks to—listens to, follows through literal flames. Literally making him become everything to everyone. The guy whose job it is to fix everything.

Take that with the implication that Bobby was right to think LA was not his real home; just his penance, his borrowed time (burying him with his “real family” in Minnesota)—even after he insisted on his last words that he found a will to live and a new family instead? I just—

It’s like they’re undoing years of character development. And for what? For shock value and “creative decisions”? The characters are no longer three dimensional fixtures in an expansive work of art exploring joy, despair, hope, grief, and the tumultuous lives of first responders. They’re glorified baby dolls being smashed into trauma after trauma—as if the showrunners got tired of telling interesting stories and instead now chasing dopamine rushes with the next big emergency they can torture their toys with.

And I’m expected to watch season 9? Hell, the rest of this season? How? The creative minds behind the show clearly don’t care much for the characters, so why should I?

(Great acting by Kenneth Choi and Angela Bassett though. Phenomenal what pros can do even with shitty scripts.)

For me, the worst thing about OFMD's cancelation is how close we got. It seems like literally everyone was acting as if the green light for s3 was a given and then someone (Zaslav you better sleep with one eye open) axed it at the very very last minute. By all rights, we should be celebrating the renewal right now, and it sucks so fucking much that we aren't.

But this also inspires me to push harder! We have nothing to lose, and I really hope that, given it seems like HBO knew it only made sense to renew for s3 and it was someone higher up who made the call to cancel, other platforms are fighting over this show right now. At the very least, us being loud, with our big and vocal fanbase, will let them know that this kind of thing is unacceptable and -gasp- cancelling a flagship show before its final planned season will tank your service's reputation.

Not him playing hero and making her film it as he stands there awkwardly like look what I did Gabriel

I have no proof to this theory other them a dream I had after the episode but what if the person sir is working with is Trents Dad
