The thing is season 1 definitely isn't as good - the arrival of Maddie and Eddie exponentially improves the show, and I think S1 felt a little too designed around one character (Abby, because of course they wanted to maximise having Connie Britton on the show).

But it *so* gives you a great insight into the characters - Bobby before Athena, Buck 1.0, Chim as the guy so desperate for the love and family he ends up getting and to see himself as the hero he eventually realises he's always been, Hen still in the Ava flux. Also how do you appreciate the Michael / Athena / Bobby dynamic without seeing all the deeply painful work Michael and Athena did to get there?!

And S1 firefam weren't a firefam yet. Chim and Hen were besties and there's a tentative family structure being built but S1 is when you see those bricks being laid. You understand why Buck was so threatened by Eddie in 2.01 because that family was fresh - of course he still felt like his place in it was precarious!

Honestly - I say this as someone who didn't get into the show till s5. Go back and watch it, you'll be so happy you did!

how people can skip season one of 911 is crazy to me on a first watch because wdym you don’t wanna see the arc of chimney getting a rebar through his skull and have bobby defending him to his loser girlfriend and also the beginning of the whole firefam dynamic with the 118

i just said out loud, “you know what really gargles my goyles?” and then i had to just sit there and accept that i now live in a world where someone said those words in that order. and now so do you. what a tangled web we weave

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

The fact that he scooches down to her height!! This show does not waste the fact that it has THEE Angela Bassett and Peter Krause.

I can't get over how hot bathena's first on screen kiss was like. the build up of athena retelling the emergency as they get closer, that flirty tone in their voices, athena making sure nobody's looking (and bobby looking just because she did) and next thing you know she's pushing him against the truck (!!!) and they just devour each other

I. AM. SCREAMING.

My favorite genre of American commercial is people frolicking in a field while an overly enthusiastic voiceover tells you to "Ask your doctor about Rybaltanex!" and then it never tells you what Rybaltanex actually does

it’s so fucking funny in leverage when they don’t tell you what everyone’s doing and then the mark sees some Man being ominous or threatening in the background and they have 10000% reason to be completely scared but you as the viewer are just like oh hey eliot

Never won't crack me up that the 911 fandom is able to disagree vehemently on almost everything - timelines, character's ages, sexual preferences, the Tommy of it all, was Chim wrong to punch Buck, which characters should get more screen time, etc...

Yet seem to almost unanimously agree on the one thing that is *demonstrably* untrue: that Buck is blond.

*runs away, leaves the country, please don't hunt me for sport, Buck fans*

My favourite thing about The Rookie is its insistence Lucy can still go undercover despite her appearing in at least two (2) televised documentaries about being a cop.
