#Or he died and like Dr Odyssey is now in purgatory

[blueberrytwoberry]

This season of 911 has been... I'll just say personally unenjoyable and last ep really just encapsulated all the reasons why, you know?

Cut for me giving a tv show a "reason you suck" speech

Continued huge focus on Buck doing the same shit he always does for like the 12th time: Check

Reusing rescues because they either ran out of ideas or just dgaf anymore: Check

No more thematic connection between rescues that tie into the personal plot of the character of the week: Check

So much focus on unlikeable and annoying background characters (I didn't like the annoying actor guy from the opening and he's just gotten worse! And oh yay, Gerrard is now a whining sexist racist who Bobby has to coddle, because THAT'S fun): Check

OH AND we're getting big Cop Athena plots, always an "oh no" moment in this show and this might be the worst. Because, tbh, 911 lost me at "oh these folks who are robbing the filthy rich are bad." Actually no let them take the jewels I'm fine with it, they're doing amazing.

But that's small fries to Athena telling her new little buddy he's got to watch out all the time! Everyone is trying to shoot them! EXCEPT as it turns out, it's really the cops shooting folks isn't it? And you'd assume maybe they were going to make Athena think about that BUT NO because clearly this was just her new buddy being a single bad apple and it should all get hand waved UGH.

Just. S7 was rough but I figured you know, new channel, short season, there are reasons that could contribute. S8 is following the trend even more though, so....
