#H50 Season 9

[buckbuckley-diaz]

Thoughts on H50 Season 9 so far.

I love H50 to bits (I binged 8 seasons of it and plan to rewatch it from the start) but season 9 has had a couple of rough episodes.

Episode 1 was great with Steve tortured and Danny worried

Episode 3 felt a little bit filler-y but not bad.

Episode 4 was great too with Joons and Jerry heart to heart. it was really moving. and let's not forget Steve and Danny the fishing for feet 😂

Then Episode 5. I was bored most of episode 5. I love Eric and anytime he shows up. He needs to show up more. Also love Noelani. And wow Jerry's friends are dicks. Also very obvious Bo was not the killer. Also also - Jerry is now with five-0 why didnt he go to Steve and Danny and be like "i think there was a murder but no one believes me". He definitely would've been able to use five-o resources. More than he had at least.

Episode 6 was fun. With Danny laughing at Steve getting arrested 😂

So was Episode 7. Time-wimey solving a 90 year old cold case while dreaming. Singer Tani. Get to know a little bit more about Steve's grandad. Great episode.

Then we get to Episode 8. Oh this episode was not good. My least favourite episode of the whole show. Forgiving family just because they're family even when they treat you like shit. Even Lou's wife wasn't on his side 😠(and she's always been on his side. I loved the episode where he thinks his best friend killed his wife and she's like "if you think he did it, prove it") and then it all gets solved in one little scene at the end where Lou's brother does a whole 180 in personality. Sure.... 🙄

Also, was not a huge fan of the Adam story line and that it got resolved in the first five minutes of Episode 9. It was such a big deal for so long with the whole Tani "should I trust him or not" and then we didn't even get the investigation? And then it was the banker dude (Mr. Kimura). Like that doesn't even make sense. Adam and his relationship seemed pretty close. And he had no vested interest in the other yakuza bosses. Make it a member from one of the other yakuza families that aren't getting paid anymore. Have Tani and him finish the investigation.

Then thankfully Episode 9 was back to being good. Vigilantes, superheroes, conspiracies. Good stuff.

I also did like that Steve and Danny let go of the resto. And I like Steve not wanting to get Danny mad and Danny immediately going oh thank god. i want out too ("if you're out, I'm out"). The boys are always in synch <3.

[alea-says]

H50, Season 6, Episode 9 thoughts...

Oh be still my beating heart - WHY do glasses just make some men so much sexier? Why?

(Also, is it bad that I knew it was Danny by his forearm? Since when can I recognise someone by their forearm? Sorry Steve, I be also looking at your man)

Like Danny, I'm not quite sure whether to be charmed or offended that Steve knows stuff about him that isn't even in his file. Eh, it's fiction, I'll go with charmed.

Love Kono teasing Lou about what Steve knows about them.

Ok, please tell me that Nahele's father coming back means Steve is going to step up more and move this mentorship into a guardianship.

Girl in Danny's class, I understand your need to hit on the hot new professor, but wait until you see him interacting with Steve and you'll understand (Also, Danny is the kind of guy who would never engage while he's in a position of authority, and he'd worry about the age difference, but also... Steve)

Oh dear. This girl is back flirting with Danny.

And now Danny's phone is ringing and he knows exactly who it is. Let me guess, Steve?

It was!

Danny is rocking this professor gig. I'm guessing there were a bunch of professor AUs written after this aired?

Aww. Steve talking to Nahele's dad.

Steve: but maybe I'm being overprotective, you know. I just wanna do right by this kid.

🥰

And now we have even more students saying how hot Danny is.

Poor Eric having to listen to this.

Noooo. Poor Nahele.

Aww.. he went to hang out in Steve's car that they fixed up together.

Steve: I will always protect you, all right. All right?

🥰

Yes, tell him, Nahele!

Deleted scene:

Okay, the way Danny lights up at the fact Steve knew his favourite animal is a giraffe. ❤️

Danny: How did you know that?

Steve: I know everything about you.

[lover-of-mine]

I just saw someone genuinely argue "as a Buddie shipper" (which I don't believe) that Buddie shouldn't happen because: their close friendship is too important, the text of the show doesn't support Eddie being gay the way it supports Buck being bi, Eddie is "not ready", and that Ryan Guzman plays Eddie "too straight" to be able to pull off acting Buddie and this feels like to me someone who doesn't actually ship Buddie but is claiming to cause they think it'll give them more credibility in criticizing it.

1) if I see one more argument about how their close male friendship is too important because of toxic masculinity and that making it romantic would ruin it I'm going to lose my marbles because this is the dumbest take. TV is FULL of vulnerable platonic male friendships - 9-1-1 is FULL of them. Also them becoming romantic does not mean they would no longer be friends.

2) So we're just pretending queer-coding doesn't exist now okay.

3) I'm sick to death of the argument of Eddie not being ready. When is he allowed to be ready??? Does he have to suffer for a decade before he's allowed to figure things out??

4) They have to be watching the show with their eyes closed to think Ryan Guzman who has been playing Eddie "Heart Eyes" Diaz for 6 seasons couldn't pull off Buddie.

I'm gonna talk about all points, but the Eddie is too straight thing drives me INSANE. Four months ago, if I said "oh, Eddie is straight, no way buddie is happening" I would have whole essays on how he's gay thrown my way before I hit post. We're talking about a character who had panic attacks about his girlfriend. Who this season had literal erectile dysfunction with another girlfriend. There is no heterosexual explanation for the way Eddie was looking at Buck during the poker game. That man looks at Buck like he's the sun, the sky, the stars, and the moon. Like Buck is somehow the best thing he ever laid eyes on. Yeah, there are threads to pull. With Buck. We only need Eddie to be into one man. And boy, do we have threads to pull there. And honestly, if you wanna see Ryan play painfully straight men, go watch anything else in his filmography, that man knows how to act painfully straight. It's not what he's doing with Eddie. This narrative that Ryan is somehow sabotaging buddie's chances is so beyond ridiculous. Personally, I don't subscribe to Eddie being strictly gay, but I legit don't care anymore as long as he's out of the closet soon give him whatever label, but even if there weren't threads to pull to make it seem like Eddie is in love with Buck, and there are a lot of them, this idea that Eddie being gay is only valid if he's a stereotypical gay man from the beginning is NUTS. Why does gay have to look a specific way to be valid for y'all? This is such a harmful point of view. You want rep but it needs to fit in this one specific box or else it's not valid? What is wrong with you?

The male friendship thing, please tell me where are we lacking vulnerable male friendships in media? Media is made of male friendships. Everything everywhere is about male characters. And Buck and Eddie dating would not negate their friendship all of a sudden. Yall do realize you're supposed to like the person you're dating, right? Isn't literally everyone on the planet telling everyone to marry their best friend? How would that ruin their friendship? It just makes them a stronger couple because they have that foundation. And there literally isn't a show or movie that had two guy best friends who weren't introduced as queer who started dating. Literally, does not exist in media, how would losing exactly one friendship suddenly destroy male friendship representation everywhere? And we weren't even be losing the friendship, the friendship is gonna be a core part of buddie forever. You want strong male friendships? Go watch literally anything else. Every procedural ever has two guy best friends. Go watch house, any of the ncis, h50, the one chicago shows, hell, go watch lord of the rings or something, there are so many male friendships in media. No one is gonna die if Buck and Eddie kiss.

And the whole Eddie not being ready thing. Are we watching the same show? The show where madney started while Maddie was running for her life or bathena started while Bobby was actively suicidal? Or that even henren was presented to us when Hen cheated? Buck's own definition of love is "So every day is the best day ever. Is that really love? Right? Shouldn't it be when you're at your worst, they're at their worst, you have every reason to give up, and you still decide you want to try again?" loving someone at their lowest is the definition of love for that show. It's working through the bad to appreciate the good. And again, this idea that someone needs to be healed to be worthy of love is fucked UP. Eddie is never gonna be fully healed. Recovery isn't linear and he has ptsd. He will forever grieve Shannon. Does that mean he's never gonna be allowed to be loved because he is a human being who has been through hell? What does it take for someone to be "ready for love", huh? What's the threshold here? He was in a helicopter that was shot down and got shot 3 times, he was abandoned by a wife he later was forced to watch die, he was shot at again in broad daylight, he watched his best friend die and had to save him, his own parents just stole his kid. What does he have to do to prove that he is worthy of love, how does he have to handle all that? What I'm getting here is that someone who's been through shit can't be loved, is that the message we're sending? Really? No one seriously wants Buck and Eddie to open season 8 dating, but they are partners and best friends and they don't have to have everything figured out before they go there, they can figure it out together, they do it together anyway. Why can't they take that step and figure things out as a couple? Jesus.

I know it's been a while, but with the new 911 season coming up ( I will not be watching,probably check in every now and again) I wanted to share my own self check of how I view relationships on tv.

After S6 finale, I was like lost and furious, I mean, I wanted and still do want the last 6 years of my life back from 911. (Well three because they didn't always suck).

But I went back to watching normal TV, you know, the kind that portray relationships and are being clear of the direction.

I watched Good Omens, so rooting for that pair, they are the best! And with that cast of unbelievably talented actors, I enjoyed every minute of it. Point is I didn't allow myself to see that friendship as a ship because of how damaged my perception of on screen relationships became after 911 displaying all the right signals, then taking a hard left into a tree at the end of the seasons.

I am not even going to to touch the First Prince of RW&RB, which is essentially a buddie storyline that was followed through to its logical conclusion.

I also thought, maybe I just can't enjoy straight on screen relationships anymore and I'm looking for more.

My sister sat me to watch Bridgerton for the very first time (just S1 for now) I can say with absolute certainty that it dis-abused me of that theory as well, because I rooted and got excited for Daphne and Simon at first sight.

Such a wonderful love story told right!

These are the two prominent tv shows that cemented my belief that it is in fact not on me.

Going back in my head I remember rooting for Catherine and Steve, and almost every one of Danny's gfs (except Rachel, it was clear she'd break his heart again.) In H50.

I wanted Gibson to end up with Andy in Station 19. Never wanted her to end up with Maya or him with Miller.

And even though it didn't need to be said, but was said in a humorous fashion, the writers also made clear that Gibson prefer women.

So it is in fact the flawed 911 writing that got me to give up on all forms of logic of reading tv relationships right.

That I gave up on tv for a while.

But, that being said, I can say I was always attracted to Ryan, but Eddie always got my gaydar to go off. And Oliver is not my type, but Buck is a hot bi firefighter - and that is a thing I already thought in S1, way before Eddie arrived.

So either the writers has no clue what they're doing, or they did and chickened out last minute.

And I finally reached the point where, I throw in the towel, wish you all well and move on.

It is not just about buddie, it is just a buddie post.

If anyone is interested, I can make a whole post involving the "development" of the rest of the og characters, where I say enough is enough.

Either make them interesting again, or bring in new blood that hasn't been first a piece of ass to further Buck's questionable development.

Let me know if you are interested.

The blinders are off and I am not keeping quiet for the sake of followers anymore.

9-1-1 was a great show, 3 seasons ago. They had sparks every now and again in between, but those were few and always demolished in some way by horrible writing choices.

Thank you for a great time, this fandom has been a place to come to whenever I needed to escape reality, I love you all. ❤️

[trickster-archangel]

So. Thanks to the Italian national TV service, I'm finally watching H50 season 9 (yeah, I know, one day I'll find the time to put my ass in front of a screen and watch ALL seasons in HQ in ENGLISH, but that day is not today nor tomorrow nor next months, given my life's latest trends in disasters). Of which I basically watched probably five episodes at best, like s10, at the first airing (given my life's constant trend in disasters).

Tonight I watched 9x11.

.....ok.

You know those fics with a really promising plot, juicy tags, just the right length to be devoured in one sitting but still able to leave you yearning yet satisfied...and third paragraph in, it starts cramming epithets every two instances, fucks up characters' M.O. and voices, whacks grammar and tenses, and just forgets what they were doing/carrying/saying just ten paragraphs above....?

Yeah. Same.

[miriam-heddy]

Season 9 of H50 is interesting. I saw someone mention a lack of McDanno “I Love You” moments. But what I see is Steve now working on training Tani and Junior to take on a bigger role in 50 after Danny retires. Yes, it gave Scott family time. But it actually makes sense that he assigns the relative newbies to Danny and himself to teach them things. In 9.02, he even tells Danny that, when Steve’s there, Danny defers to him to take charge of the kids. I think Steve worries about what 50 will be without him.

I am also eliminating things I count as abandoned and things that are just like, five lines jotted down in a note on my phone - which makes my wip list... definitely not as big as Squares’, but still plenty large.

✨Q&A ✨

Because @meelopee tagged me

Watching:

Hawaii Five-O - joined the fandom this year and am up to the final episode (which I admit I've been procrastinating on because 1. I don't want it to end and 2. I've heard (and the previous ep suggests) it's a rather disappointing ending).

And then I plan to re-watch....

Also just recently started dipping my toes into Psych... but the streaming service it's available on for me has ads and that's driving me nuts...

Current Obsession:

McDanno. I basically started watching H50 for them and was not disappointed.

I have so many fic ideas, and have been making gifs etc. More inspiration than I have time to create things lately. Also, so much already out there as I'm late to the fandom... so easily distracted by all the reading and viewing available.

I'll also jump in and out of Leverage because it's my comfort show and I adore it.

Star Wars (except the sequels), is another fandom I'll take random vacations in. I'm totally not up to date with all the latest shows as I tend to find the fan creations more interesting than them.

9-1-1 was a lovely obsession for a while and I suspect it'll increase when the new season starts, but I'm in fandom for fun not drama so have taken a step back from that one at the moment. Still reading fic, but not so much active in the fandom currently.

Relationship Status:

Happily single. Ace.

Mother to two adorable furbabies.

Won't say no to cuddles, however, and if I could find someone to involve themselves in my life the way McDanno do each others then that would be perfect.

Spicy/Sweet/Savoury:

Sweet.

I have a very strong sweet-tooth. Also enjoy savoury, but if I gotta pick one it'd have to be Sweet.

Last Song:

Firestarter by Samantha Jade. It's on my 'songs I'd like to make an H50 vid for' list.

Along with Chosen Family by Rina Sawayama and Elton John. Which I have actually started a vid for, but the going is slow.

[happilylovingchaos]

Post-ep Thoughts: This is gonna be out of order— my 1x05 thoughts will be on the last combo post. But since

Owen and Billy are 2 sides of the same male archetype (inflatable egos with hearts in the right places), but one naturally exudes charisma and another works at developing charisma. And now Judd deals with 2 of them. (Joy.)

That said, I like this rival dynamic to an extent. Except the point where they start competing and thinking with what’s between their legs/ misunderstanding each other later. But that’s an issue for later seasons (*coughs in “9-1-1: LS’s song of fire and ice” from seasons 2-3*).

In another life, I feel like Rob Lowe and Billy (Burke) could def play a chaotic bro pair (a la H50-reboot!Steve McGarrett and Danny Williams). Judd (maybe would share w/ TK and Paul) would be the unofficial third member and only sane third wheel.

Tina and Taylor. T and T… I’m not gonna say it. (This is low-key sad foreshadowing.) But that’s a hell of a way to reunite after high school days.

TSP: Well. After that 4-month bombshell and a mild questioning of my life choice I decided to just stick with this TSP. Since Tumblr only lets me save drafts a few times, this is from the last post (1x05, late April to early May 2019):

Ryders: Grace and Colleen talk —> failed roast seduction (1-3 days) —> bull factory call —> successful osso bucco dinner

Strands: bar call —> Owen’s chemo session (+ TK) —> oncologist apptmt —> Zoe and failed sex (1-3 days) —> bull factory call (1-2 days)—> deleted Tarlos date, Owen and Zoe try again —> bar hang w/ Paul (1 day)

Paul: bar call + meeting Josie —> bull factory call (1-3 days) —> bowling date/ breakup —> Josie apologizes —> bar hangout (1 day).

In 1x06 (May 2019):

T&T call —> Texas Hold’em game (1 night) —> golf game and dinner (probably 1 week later) —> Owen vs. Billy (6-7 days later).

Scariest Thing Steve McGarrett Has Ever Said (Especially While Driving)

[mcdanhoe]

alright gays, i’m here. what did we think about the season finale? imo the only important parts were junior showing up at tani’s place and steve’s not-so-subtle hatred towards danny for still canoodling with r*chel.
