Hello, hope you're doing well! If it so inspires you, may I suggest "Feel this? It's just for you." from the smutty one-liners with Sonny Carisi? Thank you 😊

a/n: sorry it isn't a long piece 😅🫣❤️ also please ignore how sad Sonny looks here, he's not sad in this piece 😅

warnings: MINORS DNI!

He stands in front of you, looking deep into your eyes, intoxicating you with his closeness and the smell of him.

"Do ya have any idea what ya do to me, doll?" He asked in a low tone.

Shaking your head you gasped when he grabbed your chin, tilting it so you looked down between the two of you, to the bulge in his slacks.

You carefully moved your hand to cup him, shocked at how big he felt.

"Feel that, doll, that's just for ya," he murmured, finally leaning down to kiss you.

2024 TV Season Analysis – Organized Crime Tops the Franchise, Law & Order Better, SVU Needs an Overhaul

The 2023-24 TV season has been a truncated TV season of 13 episodes, due the ongoing WGA/SAG-AFTRA strikes that happened last year. A lot of scripted TV was back burned until the strikes ended. TV writers struck their deal first and were back to work promptly, long before actors/actresses, this should have given time to plan out their already short season. Production crunched for 13 episodes to be shot between late November until this coming week, where SVU and mother ship reboot will be wrapping up shooting their finale episodes.

But where does this season grade in its entirety? I’m going to summarize – as much as I can - my views on where the franchise stands for this season from best to worst. Click below to read.

Organized Crime – The best in the franchise creatively, hands down!

New show runner/executive producer John Shiban (The X-Files) and his writing staff understood their assignment and have definitely delivered. Organized Crime is the most entertaining series in the franchise this season, week-over-week. The storylines are so fleshed out and they don’t drag on as they had since the series started. Shiban has shifted focus to the OC main characters and their backstories as well as expanding on the OC unit in its entirety. We’ve even seen 2 of SVU’s former stars show up (Tamara Tunie, Chief M.E. Melinda Warner / Dann Florek, Donald Cragen) as well as an appearance by Peter Scanavino (ADA Dominick Carisi). We have even been introduced to more of Stabler’s family, his brothers – portrayed by guest stars Dean Norris and Michael Trotter – and while they’ve come in and shook things up for Stabler, one thing I can point out, it’s the first season since OC premiered where I haven’t felt that Elliot Stabler is on a quest for vengeance or retribution of some kind.

The cast has been firing on all cylinders this season, especially with the episode that just aired last week (“Crossroads”), where one of OC’s new team members went missing and was found to be killed, Stabler having the bury his body as he is undercover with the group that found Detective-in-Training Samir Bashir (guest star Abubakr Ali). This story is still playing out so as of now we don’t fully know who killed him but I’m sure we’re about to find out. Stabler’s younger brother, Joe Jr. may have some involvement as the investigation is about to come full circle. Meanwhile, the scene in question in this episode has Christopher Meloni and Danielle Mone Truitt deliver their most powerful scene together yet in the series and they have delivered quite a few, this one stands out though.

Excellent only begins to describe it, and Organized Crime this season. Organized Crime has yet to be renewed for the 2024-25 TV season.

Law & Order (reboot) – It’s improved, but we still have a ways to go.

There is a lot to be said of the mother ship series, both the original and this reboot. But this reboot has seen a lot in its short time on air, in this short season alone the cast has changed twice already. Jeffrey Donovan (Detective Frank Cosgrove) and the series parted ways weeks before production was set to start and veteran Sam Waterston (District Attorney Jack McCoy) chose to depart before mid-season. Sam Waterston is/will greatly be missed and he leaves behind a full legacy on the show, which he joined in 1994! Meanwhile newcomers Reid Scott (Detective Vincent Riley) and Tony Goldwyn (District Attorney Nicholas Baxter) have been welcomed by fans with open arms. The cast of the reboot no matter which season is very solid and they are all very talented, but their talents often seem crippled.

The reboot seems to have an issue fleshing out the characters. Det. Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) and ADA Sam Maroun (Odelya Halevi) – and add DA Nick Baxter (Goldwyn) to me, week-in and week-out are the unsung heroes as with them we can see depth, we can understand why they make the decisions they make or feel the way they do on certain topics. I’m still on the fence about Riley’s development but he’s definitely has a more solid partnership with Shaw than Cosgrove did, and he certainly is a better character. I think they’ve got a great detective duo here – reminiscent of that of Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) and Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) in season 18. From about the third episode this season on up, there has been an improvement in the writing, I must say in comparison from where the season started. Most of the episodes this season seem to have one singular writer who stands out, Pamela Wechsler, who also serves as executive producer. Girl power!

What can help the reboot:

The writers need to get away from talking points and political affiliation when it comes to the characters and even the weekly storylines - looking at you show runner Rick Eid - it makes the characters come off as caricatures and stereotypes. And maybe not directly rip the episodes from the headlines near verbatim. It takes away from it if we already know how it plays out – where is “the Law & Order twist?” They need to deep dive into Vincent Reilly, Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and Kate Dixon (Camryn Manheim); we have talented actors on here, give them something that makes us stand up and clap and relate to these characters and stop making them one-dimensional, especially ADA Price. I must say I’ve been enjoying the legal side a bit more with the addition of Goldwyn’s Baxter, his back-and-forth every week with Price has a feel of the original series run, where we see multiple points of views on cases and it doesn’t feel/sound like rhetoric. And speaking of that run, it wouldn’t hurt for them to find ways to invest those old characters in the reboot. Just because Sam has departed doesn’t mean we still don’t want to see old faces or even faces from the other L&O series show up. Elisabeth Rohm (ADA Serena Southerlyn) and Milena Govich (Det. Nina Cassady) have directed episodes! Raul Esparza and Hugh Dancy both starred in Hannibal, I could see former-ADA now Defense Attorney Rafael Barba sitting at the defense table and likely wiping the floor with Price! Tony Goldwyn even wants Mariska Hargitay to direct an episode. Let’s make the mother ship enjoyable to watch again!

It was renewed for a 24th season (4th for the reboot). The mother ship has a second chance at greatness and to continue its legacy on television, not a lot of shows get that. It would be wise that those in charge on mother ship remember that.

SVU – The 25th milestone season ranks as one of the worst.

I originally had a two-page long document on this season of SVU alone and I’ve had to shorten it down and it’s still not that short. But if I had to describe the 25th record-breaking season of SVU in 1 word, that word would be “bad.” There are calls on social media for show runner/executive producer David Graziano to be fired from the series. I’m not one to openly call for people to lose their jobs, but clearly there is something wrong and the downward spiral of the ratings mixed with bad press for SVU episodes this season is showing that. Nothing about season 25 jumps out as milestone season and there are only a handful of episodes as of now, that I would consider episodes worth going back to watch again: “Tunnel Blind”, “Duty to Report”, “Probability of Doom”, and “Children of Wolves” which was directed by Mariska Hargitay.

It’s the writing and direction of this season, period. There is no other reason or excuse that flies. There is clearly no investment from the management level behind the scenes at SVU in this milestone season being the best it could have been. The Maddie storyline overtook the season and its resolution didn’t exactly hit the mark either. Where is the retrospective? Why haven’t we gone over past cases? Seen former victims/survivors (other than 2 minutes worth of Maria from “911”)? Why did Olivia stop seeing Dr. Lindstrom (Bill Irwin)? Where is the ‘healing?’ The guest stars? We haven’t seen any former stars, other than Kelli Giddish (Detective Amanda Rollins), and that proves to me that it was a mistake to fire her in the first place. “Where is the energy? Where is the spatter? This is life-less dreck. A cheap knock-off…” (diehard SVU fans; if you know, you know). But seriously, nothing about this season overall screams “25 years!”

With the season opener, I was sure David Graziano and the writers turned the page on the mess that was most of the entire 24th season of SVU. Turns out I was wrong to think it. It seems to be doubled down. It’s proof that despite his behavior, he’s just not a good fit for SVU. He doesn’t seem to understand how to write for this show and be the voice of who women/people look up to and the voice that victims and survivors need. I honestly think he would serve better on a Criminal Intent reboot or something since he seems to like that aspect of the crimes more so than investigatory and the legal side – Peter Scanavino’s screen time has greatly decreased and well as legal scenes.

What can help SVU:

A lot of damage is done, but it’s not irreversible. The best call is to replace the person at the top if they aren’t going to change themselves, (sorry but not sorry David). The popular eras of SVU are seasons 3-7 and again 13-17 and for good reason; Neal Baer and Warren Leight remain the two people who have seen SVU at their peaks. Going into a record breaking season 26, someone who can understand the intricacies of SVU needs to take the helm and get this show turned around. Focus needs to be on steadying the storylines and fleshing them out in a meaningful way to where they connect and not have crucial bits just disappear into thin air. We need to get SVU’s focus back on uplifting the voices of victims and survivors and their journeys, as well as to delve deep again into the world of the NYPD SVU squad. It’s not just about “rape case of the week” the actual SVU deals with kidnappings, crimes against the children, the disabled/elderly, working in conjunction with the Hate Crimes unit/federal govt., trafficking and more, let’s get the variety back in the crimes – and let’s stop showing the crime taking place on screen and in graphic manner. The crime scene analysis, forensics, court scenes and legalese needs to be put back into this series, I’ve honestly felt it decrease even before S24 as far back as some S22.

We need to see Carisi navigate through these cases and the back-and-forth with the defense as well as in his own bureau. We’ve yet to see Carisi interact with the district attorney (Jack McCoy, Sam Waterston – now Nick Baxter, Tony Goldwyn) much like his preceding ADAs. Benson’s character needs to go back to therapy and deal with her issues head on (Lindstrom, Bill Irwin), she had done that up until EDMR in season 24 became her new way and it’s not working for her, since the writers seem to use it now as a crutch to say “she’s healing” but then turn around and have her do things to suggest otherwise. Benson also needs to be written as a leader and delegator more so than taking every case away from her “squad” and solving them personally. Actually from a story standpoint it would be great to see Benson face repercussions for continually doing this, in the real world that would have consequences as how can she personally investigate cases and run the unit?

And with the unit, their stories need to be dissected more. Velasco (Octavio Pisano) in particular, he had an edge in season 23 as the new guy that might be a snitch for the Chief of Detectives (McGrath, Terry Serpico) but in season 24 they pushed this character into a corner with liking Detective Grace Muncy (Molly Burnett, who departed last season) and the Chilly storyline last season and can’t seem to get him out of that corner. Velasco comes off as “just there” much in the way Fin (ICE T) is starting to. And where is Phoebe (Jennifer Esposito)? Detective Bruno and Captain (to-Detective or Chief?) Curry (Kevin Kane and Aime Donna Kelly) are pretty much holding down the squad and are actually the more I look to, to solve the cases and they are the only ones peaking my interest.

SVU is heading to record-breaking season 26, if they want to reach their goal of stopping at 30. Dick Wolf, NBC and those behind the scenes need to get serious about it if that is what they really want. Otherwise, you’re about to have long-time viewers and new viewers alike turning away. Despite what people believe about ever-lasting loyalty, it does have an end date.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Feel free to respond!

9-1-1 Season 6 - Constructive Criticisms #8

Lack of Professional Development and Growth

Professional development and growth is important for several reasons but mainly it helps people hone their current skills and gain new ones so they can move forward in their careers.  In real life, people want to develop and grow in their jobs because they don’t want to get bored or be pigeon held into a role for the next 30 years. Since life imitates art, professional development and growth should also be important for 9-1-1’s First Responders but unfortunately, it hasn’t been.

For six seasons, every 9-1-1 First Responder has been doing the same job they were doing in season 1 or after they joined the 118 and Metro Dispatch in season 2 as either a field sergeant with the LAPD, a captain, firefighter/EMT, firefighter/paramedic with the LAFD and an operator with Metro Dispatch.  Even though one main character was offered a promotion in season 2 and two of them were allowed to temporarily fill the 118’s interim captain role, none of them have received job promotions even though two recurring characters were promoted and/or allowed to move on to different roles.

For the last two and a half seasons, 9-1-1 has struggled to keep a lot of their viewers but this shouldn’t be the case since they still have most of the original ensemble cast. While several factors have contributed to viewers no longer tuning in, it’s possible the lack of professional development and growth for main characters is also a factor.  It shouldn’t be unusual for viewers to expect to see First Responders who accept 9-1-1 calls, arrest people who violate the law, fight fires and perform rescues move forward in their careers. However, for whatever reason, the focus over the last two and a half seasons has primarily been on main characters’ personal lives instead of their professional ones.  This is an issue because the longer their professional development and growth is ignored, it's likely more viewers will lose interest.

The TV show Law & Order: SVU has an ensemble cast too but one of the reasons they’ve remained successful for more than two decades is because of the professional growth and development of its’ main characters. Captain Olivia “Liv” Benson didn’t start her career as a captain more than 24 years ago, actually she was a Detective but her professional development has been consistent with her being promoted from Detective to Sergeant, then Lieutenant and now she’s the Captain of the Special Victims Unit.  Other characters on the show were also developed professionally including Odafin “Fin” Tutuola who was a Detective but now he’s a Sergeant and Dominick Carisi, Jr. who was a Detective and a law school student but he’s now the Manhattan ADA.

I completed a blog post during 6A that addressed the main characters lack of growth (linked here) but it included details about both their professional and personal lives.  This post deals solely with the lack of professional development and growth for them as outlined during 6A and 6B.

My eighth set of “constructive criticisms” regarding the lack of professional development and growth for the main characters in season 6 are included below the cut.  Please note criticizing a TV show is NOT a bad thing especially since TV critics have been doing it for decades.  Constructive criticisms are designed to help make something better and they are VERY different from negativity.  A person can offer criticisms about a form of entertainment they spend their time watching and not be negative about it the same way two people can agree to disagree on a topic.  Just because one person liked the season, they shouldn’t expect others to feel the way they do because everyone has their own opinions.  Simply put, two people can have different opinions about 9-1-1 and those opinions can COEXIST since they are not mutually exclusive.

If reading criticisms about the TV show 9-1-1 upsets you, then don’t read below the cut.        

                   Warning! ⚠️“Constructive Criticisms” Ahead!⚠️ 

There are seven first responder main characters and as mentioned above none of them have received job promotions over the past six seasons.  The characters of Athena, Bobby, Buck, Chimney and Hen have been on the show since season 1 while the characters of Eddie and Maddie started in season 2. But they’ve all been in their first responder roles long enough for them to have received a promotion or they should be working towards professional development that should eventually lead to them being promoted.

Each main character first responder is listed below by department and ranks/job positions along with details about their current roles. Also, a section about recurring characters has been included to illustrate how they were promoted or allowed to move to other firehouses while the main characters remain stagnated.

Athena – Field Sergeant

In 2x4, Captain Maynard offered Athena a job promotion to Lieutenant on an interim basis in the Northeast Division. During their conversation, the captain said she had applied for a promotion to Lieutenant four times but she stopped applying, then she asked why. Athena said she had been passed over every time she applied only to be told she didn’t have the necessary leadership qualities for further advancement.  After thinking about it for several days, she turned down the promotion because she told Michael her goals had changed from when she was in her twenties since her priorities included her kids and her family. She also told Bobby she liked being a field sergeant because it allowed her to see what was going on in the world and at the end of the day, she could come home and let it all go.

That was almost five years ago, she hasn’t been offered a promotion since and now that she and Bobby are empty nesters, why hasn’t she been offered a promotion again?

There’s no reason she can’t be offered a promotion now, especially since she’s repeatedly shown she possesses the necessary skill set to be a Lieutenant. Also, she can be promoted and still work alone since LAPD Lieutenants can be assigned to specialized divisions and they attend community meetings, teach classes at the academy and they conduct interviews of sworn and civilian personnel. Athena’s never had a performance review in CANON which is ridiculous because she has the leadership skills that can get her promoted and maybe one day, she could be promoted to Police Captain.

Bobby – 118 Captain

Bobby’s a good captain and he’s been the 118′s captain for several years but he’s never expressed a desire to be promoted and no one’s been shown asking him if he wants to be anything other than a captain.  In 2x4, during his conversation with Athena, he said he wanted to be on the truck with his team for as long as he could but in 4x12 he told her if they found the treasure, they could think about retiring.  Then they argued in 4x13 after Athena admitted in 4x12 she was offered retirement after she was attacked but she turned it down.

The positions and rank for the LAFD show the next step for Bobby would be Battalion Chief then Assistant Chief but since he hasn’t said anything about wanting to be promoted, could he be preparing for retirement?

Prior to season 6, Bobby wasn’t shown doing performance reviews which begs the question why not especially since everyone on his team is highly skilled?  No one was shown in CANON giving him any feedback on his own performance when there’s a lot that could have been said about it.

If he’s planning to retire, he has a dilemma because there are currently three people who could be considered once he’s gone.  In 6x14, he was shown preparing Chimney to become captain sometime in the near future; however, Hen and Buck also should be considered. Initially, Chimney said he didn’t want to be in the big chair in 6x14 but Buck wanted to be considered in 6x1 and Bobby didn’t even ask Hen before he chose Lucy. Ultimately, he gave the spot to Hen after he spoke with her at the end of 6x1 but he should have asked her first without even considering Lucy especially since Lucy had only been with the 118 for a few months.

If it’s based on years of experience, who will become captain after Bobby leaves, Chimney or Hen?  (Please note, in this instance, Buck wouldn’t be considered since he’s only been with the 118 for six years.)

It would be better if he had CANON conversations with them to determine what they want instead of him assuming he knows.  Also if Bobby’s not ready to retire, what does he want to do?  No one knows since the show won’t even show him talking to other captains or to any of the department leaders.

Buck – Firefighter/EMT

Buck is a great firefighter and Bobby said so himself in 6x1 when he told him nobody goes harder than he does.  However, the issue is and continues to be, Buck wants to grow and advance his career but for some reason, Bobby won’t have the conversation with him. They talked about it in 6x1 when Bobby told him he needed more life experience but that was subjective and based on Bobby’s opinion. After he said it, Buck should have asked him to show him where it states that in the employee handbook.  

If Bobby feels like Buck’s not ready to be interim or captain, then as his captain, part of his responsibilities are to help him get there.  In 5x5 when Buck was training Ravi, Bobby didn’t say anything about the way Buck was acting like a tyrant.  Buck had Ravi scared to death but Bobby looked the other way even though it would have been the perfect time for Bobby to remind Buck that when he trained him, he didn’t act like a drill sergeant.  It appears him doing that would have made too much narrative sense, so the show had Bobby make funny faces at the situation instead of having him address the issues he saw happening within his team. Buck put peer pressure on Ravi to perform while Hen and Eddie struggled to work together even though they didn’t have any problems in 3x2 after the Tsunami when they saved a soon to be stepfather and stepson who were trapped on a yacht.

Is Buck ready to be captain right now?  NO! But he could be if Bobby would start working with him and training him.

When it comes to him being a firefighter, Buck knows the job and he knows how to think outside of the box like he did in 3x13 when he told them to “embrace the cross brace” while they were at the bowling alley helping the victim whose arm got stuck.  He said it himself in 2x18, firefighting is the one thing that makes him feel like he matters so he takes it seriously.  The LAFD job positions and ranks show that Buck’s currently a firefighter/EMT but what else does Buck want to do other than become a captain?  Maybe if the showrunner stops throwing women in his face and allows him to focus on his career, he could become a paramedic or maybe he could go to the academy and be a peer group instructor the same way Ravi and Chimney did in 6x14.  Buck has the potential to be a great captain one day but he has to be given the tools and the training he needs to do it.

Chimney – Firefighter/Paramedic

Chimney has been with the 118 longer than anyone else and he reminded Hen, Eddie and Buck about it in 6x14 while they were sitting at the dining table eating lunch.  He’s an excellent firefighter/paramedic who knows everything there is to know about the firehouse.  He’s been interim captain before during Bobby’s suspension from 2x17 - 2x18 and when he wasn’t trying to emulate Bobby, he was good at it.  In 4x14, he stepped up and told the police he was in charge of the fire since Bobby was trapped inside of the warehouse with Ethan Copeland therefore, he knows the job and he knows how to handle difficult conversations with other first responders.

Therefore, it begs the question, why did Bobby wait until 6x14 to tell him he was a great leader when he could have just said it in 6x1 instead of him picking Lucy?  Oh, it appears the answer involves them not being able to use Chimney to promote her in 6x17 when he said he saw Captain Donato coming.  Not sure how anyone saw it coming, especially when the audience couldn’t wait for her to leave the show.

Since Los Angeles doesn’t have a lieutenant’s role in its job ranks/positions for their firehouses, the next level a firefighter can obtain is captain but since there aren’t any other spots for paramedics, maybe Chimney and Hen can be shown working with department leaders to establish an Emergency Services Division (more on this topic below in Hen’s section).  It is ridiculous that Chimney had to wait almost five years for Bobby to recognize his leadership abilities and to encourage him to be a captain again when it could have happened in 2x18.

Eddie – Firefighter/EMT

Eddie’s a fantastic firefighter/EMT and he handles both roles flawlessly.  When he started with the 118, he was already a combat medic and according to Oxford University’s website, a military medic is equivalent to an EMT. Therefore, unless he was promoted to firefighter/paramedic off-screen, he’s still a Firefighter/EMT. In 6x1 Eddie said he didn’t want to be considered for the interim captain role which could mean it’s not the career path he wants to take. Therefore, the question becomes, what does he want to do?  He left the job for five months but he’s back and he’s feeling better so why didn’t his performance review include a question about what he wants to do next?  There are a lot of possibilities but he’s never said anything and no one’s ever asked him if he wants to move up the ranks. If he doesn’t that’s fine but he’s next in line to be a paramedic after Chimney gets promoted to captain.

When is Eddie going to be allowed to take the paramedic certification test?

Since his return to the 118, he’s mostly worked with Hen and Chimney as a paramedic while rarely working in the capacity of a firefighter. He’s been an EMT since he arrived at the 118 so wouldn’t it be better if he became a paramedic now rather than waiting until Chimney’s current position becomes available? Eddie’s the most senior candidate on A-shift to take on the role and he’s the only one who can do it since Julie works on B-shift.  Actually, he gave her instructions in 6x2 when they were at the Happiness Convention and he told the other paramedic in 6x5 what to do when they arrived on the scene of the home invasion. So, unless he’s already been promoted off-screen, what is the issue with him taking the test so his rank will be the same as Hen’s and Chimney’s?

Hen – Firefighter/Paramedic

Hen is an awesome firefighter/paramedic, she was a great interim captain from 6x1 – 6x4 and Bobby admitted it in 6x14 during her performance review. Therefore, it didn’t make any sense for Bobby to overlook her and assume she wouldn’t want to be interim captain just because he thought she couldn’t handle it. She clearly debunked all his assumptions when she told him she already does a lot of paperwork along with the fact that she could handle it.  She handled every emergency they were dispatched to with a level of care and understanding that couldn’t be matched by anyone else so it’s clear the things she learned in medical school combined with her years of experience as a paramedic have prepared her for the job.

Therefore, it begs the question, why didn’t Bobby ask her about her career goals in 6x14 during her performance review?  All he told her was her paramedic certification was about to expire because she hadn’t completed her continuing education hours but he got her an extension.  He said it after he told her she was probably a better captain than he was while she was in the interim role. Also, Buck called her name in 6x18 after Athena called for the captain on the radio so what is the show trying to accomplish here with the possible captain’s role that might become available in the near future?  Are they insinuating Hen won’t want it?

While she was in medical school for two years, she was able to gain knowledge that should be applied in the field but just like everything else, the show ignored those milestones she completed after she dropped out in 6x6.  In 3x16, she performed a risky medical procedure that could have led to the end of her career as a paramedic but it was also the thing that led her to medical school.  Why hasn’t she been allowed to work with the department to implement some of the procedures she learned so other paramedics can be trained to do them while they’re in the field?

It makes narrative sense for her to talk to department leaders about the possibility of changing some of the paramedics’ procedures so they can save lives while they’re in the field.  That way, if they’re ever in a situation like the one she was in before, proper procedures and protocols would already be in place. As mentioned above, she and Chimney are both excellent paramedics and they work seamlessly together so the two of them working to establish an emergency services division that’s separate from firefighters could work. Some cities have those two areas separated and their ranks are listed below.

Maddie – Operator II or Senior Operator???

Maddie’s been a 9-1-1 operator for four years (not five since she quit at the end of season 4 and didn’t return until the end of season 5) but she’s been on the phones without receiving a promotion the entire time.  It’s unclear if she’s an operator II or a senior operator since IIRC, it’s never been mentioned in CANON. When she lived in Boston and after she moved back to Hershey, she was an RN and Sue pulled her off the phones in 3x2 so she could help triage the other dispatchers. Also, in 6x4 she helped connect Lourdes and Claribel with a lawyer who could help them after Lourdes had been domestically abused.  Maddie possesses a lot of skills that could benefit the department but they aren’t being discussed along with the possibility of implementing them.

Therefore, why aren’t Maddie’s skills from her previous role as a nurse being utilized in a way that could enhance Metro Dispatch’s policies and procedures?

Even though she’s had performance reviews in CANON, none of them included her being promoted to a different job position. Does she have career goals that involve Metro Dispatch and does she want to be promoted?  No one knows since Sue was MIA for 17 out of the 18 episodes in season 6 and since Josh is still in his same role as senior operator.  Maddie trained Noah in 6x5 and even though she didn’t protect her password like she should have, after she receives more technological training on the dos and don’ts of the technology agreement she signed after she was hired, she might be a good operations trainer.  It’s interesting that after being back at Metro Dispatch for a year at the end of season 6, no one asked her about her career goals.

Recurring characters

LAFD

Jonah – Firefighter/Paramedic

Not only was Jonah hired at the 118 to replace Chimney, even though Bobby knew he was coming back, he was transferred to the 133 just for him to be fired after he captured and tortured Hen and Chimney in 5x17.  A thorough background check wasn’t completed on him but he was allowed to move on to another firehouse after only being with the 118 for a month.

Lucy – Firefighter/EMT

Not only did Lucy transfer from the 147; she was offered the interim captain role, based solely on her years of experience, even though she was incompetent and didn’t know how to handle a rescue she performed by chance in 5x14.  She was also allowed to transfer out of the 118 sometime between 6x1 and 6x17 so she could be promoted to become a captain faster.  It appears her becoming captain was the goal all along and now that she’s working in a different division, she’ll get promoted quicker while the rest of the 118 haven’t even discussed their career goals in CANON yet.

________________

Many TV shows in the past that focused more on who their main characters were having sex with instead of focusing on the reason the show was created in the first place were cancelled after viewers continued to lose interest.  Also, other shows who managed to hang on and are still on the air, have resorted to the Soap Opera style of storytelling that has main characters who are co-workers do nothing but bed hop from one character to the next instead of focusing on the reason the show was greenlit from the beginning.

9-1-1 was a top-rated show and they have the potential to be one again if they focus on their main characters’ careers along with their professional development and growth.  The audience wants to see their favorite characters move forward and advance their careers but that hasn’t been happening. It’s not rocket science to have the characters focus on their careers especially since the show will have been on the air for seven years next season.  Hopefully, they won’t suffer the same fate as some of their predecessors and get cancelled for not growing their characters but if they keep focusing solely on the personal lives of their mains, then it’s likely they could suffer the same fate.

These are my criticisms regarding the lack of professional development and growth for First Responder main characters and “Constructive Criticisms” #9 will be posted on Monday, July 17, 2023.

I have a total of 15 CANON “Constructive Criticisms” (7 remaining) and my goal is to have all of them posted by Monday, August 28, 2023.  The topics are being posted in a specific order that begins with the overall issues for season 6 so they can be referenced within the posts about individual characters and ships that will follow them.

I wish you would write a fic where we get to see how Detective Sonny deals with the trauma from his job. This poor guy's had a gun held to his head, been in a car crash, couldn't save a perp from falling to his death...How does he process it all? How does his s/o support him?

To be honest, they all need therapy, but yeah my sweet angel boi needs all the support in the world and I want to give that to him 🥺❤️

TW: mention of guns and death

There was a slight indent on his forehead when he came home, and the worry lines on his face were deeper. He didn't greet you, just came in and sat down on the couch, head in his hands. "Sonny? Is that you honey?" When he didn't respond you poked your head out the door, and your stomach dropped. The strong man you knew and loved was reduced to shaking as he cried, all to himself. "Hey, talk to me honey, what happened?" You knelt in front of him to hopefully get a better look at his face. When he didn't respond you took his face in your hands, lifting it. "Dominick?" His eyes were getting red from crying as he watched you searching his face. Your eyes landed on the indent on his forehead, "What happened?" "I almost didn't make it home tonight." That sent shockwaves through your stomach, why hadn't you been called? Liv should've told you. That way he wouldn't have had to drive himself home. "Why not? What happened honey? Tell me." "I had a gun to my head--he was gonna shoot me, but Benson took him out--" You shuddered at that but tried your best to keep a strong composure, for him. "How about we have dinner, then I'll drive you to church, and after that to your parents' house, we can spend the night there with them so you can think of other things. Then in the morning, I'll call Dr. Hawkins, and get you an appointment with her." "I--I'd like that."

Detective Dominick Carisi Jr’s time at Manhattan’s Special Victims Unit

[konstantintreplev]

tagged by @malcolm-f-tucker for a first lines of fic meme. thanks!

Rules: share the first lines of ten of your most recent fanfics and tag ten people. If you have written fewer than ten, don’t be shy and share anyway!

uhhh, it's mostly gonna be endeavour.

"a cottage on the channel," Endeavour/Morseverse, <1k

Morse will find himself, from time to time, in the spaces colloquially known as cottages among the homosexual population, just to listen.

2. "hades and orpheus," Endeavour, <2k

“You should pick one out for yourself, Fred,” Charlie chuckles, clapping a hand on his back, pointing with his half-empty glass at the assorted young men and women who crowd the room already filled with smoke from cigarettes, “Although, don’t let it be a copper, this time.” Charlie moves towards a looker of a girl, far too young, and Thursday scoffs a little at his brother’s rather flagrant flouting of good taste. 

3. "playing with your food," Endeavour, >1k

“Look at the sight of you,” Morse hisses between his teeth, both admiring the sheer amount of blood Thursday has gotten splattered with in this last fight and wincing at the multiple open slash wounds he also seems to have acquired in his latest (unnecessary) defense of Morse.

4. "come along home," For All Mankind, <5k

Karen breaks off all contact after she moves to Williamsburg and starts her business program at William and Mary. Ed’s not exactly surprised—maybe she’s just embarrassed by the whole thing or maybe she really doesn’t want to ever see him again or maybe he just reminds her of Tracy — but it still hurts.

5. "all alone in the night," Endeavour/Babylon 5, 4k

The year was 2268.

There’s a telepath coming on board the Cowley.

Shok-nali Fred Thursday had very nearly filed a formal complaint with the ISA when he heard, until Shok-na Regnald had gently reminded him that the order to house and integrate former members of the Psi Corps into both the Rangers and Earthforce came from the top itself: Sheridan.

6. "the hands of the statesman," The West Wing, just under 4k

It’s 2002, and Bruno finds himself in his library, picking through the books on his shelves. He’s nervous. Bartlet is in the thick of both an investigation by Congress and a challenging election for a second term, and as campaign manager, he is personally trying his damndest to keep the campaign from falling apart. Bartlet’s team is nervous, almost frantic. That doesn’t make for great campaigning.

7. "I can rebuild you in my brain," Endeavour, just under 4k

After being shot, after slamming up against the wall, and falling onto the floor, Thursday drifts in and out of consciousness. He hears Morse angrily yelling “Bastard!” He feels the rocky driving of the ambulance. He thinks he hears Win sobbing in the distance, before everything fades to a dull hum and after that, silence…it’s at that point he truly believes, for a moment, that’s it done, I’m gone.

8. "i've grown accustomed to his face," Ted Lasso/My Fair Lady, <8k

Professor Trent Crimm, esteemed linguist, grammarian, elocutionist, and writer is exhausted. His friend Mrs. Rebecca Mannion dragged him along to the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games, being held in London due to a volcano eruption in Italy, and the cheering of the crowd, with its mixture of both common and high accents, is just frustrating him. He keeps trying to excuse himself, but Rebecca keeps pulling him down back into his seat.

9. "message sent 11:42 PM," Law and Order: SVU, 358 words

Detective Dominick Carisi, Jr.

you didn’t say goodbye?

10. "dead," Heat, 467 words

You know why you did it.

I'm gonna go ahead and tag @terribleoldwhitemen, @reserve, @lemonistas, @kigiom, @naturaliseme, and @tiltedsyllogism! (If you see this and you weren't tagged and really want to do it, you should!! This was off the top of my head...)
