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.
Is it bad I want Gabbi to go with Hugh for a little bit to see how it plays out?
Lacey why do you have to aggressively poke the bear with a stick like you just got kidnapped from him again!!!!
The confirmation that Ethan used to be Dhan’s therapist but closed down his practice after they got together irritates me so bad. Because there’s a clear power imbalance there. And, yet, Ethan can’t understand why Dhan has an unyielding loyalty to Gabi.
Like you’re married to him after treating his trauma, and can’t understand that maybe he grows VERY ATTACHED to people who take care of him? Oh.
Omg same he was on my nerves the first time we met him mainly because the massive power imbalances between him and his patient but the more he speaks to the Dhan the more I hate him. He is so consending when he speaks to Dhan and I can't stand it!!!
Ok I am just going to say this. I don’t like Ethan. I don’t like the vibe I get from him and Dhan in their scenes. We know Dhan leans on him a lot and can’t cope when he’s not in town. And he’s his therapist or at least he uses his professional knowledge on Dhan yeah? Idk it feels WEIRD. And it feels a bit like there’s this power imbalance there? Idk if it’s intentional or what bc this show doesn’t delve into personal lives very much. But I am not loving their dynamic esp after the newest ep.
What do you mean only Athena? And the kids went to Minnesota to put Bobby in the ground. You’re telling me that Buck did not go with them. The child he brought into the marriage. You’re telling me that hen was not there to comfort her best friend. You’re telling me that some strangers had to carry Bobby to his final resting place and not his team. This episode should’ve only been about the funeral. And Eddie should’ve been there at the beginning. 
i think we often get caught in the silliness of the show and forget how deep it actually is. yes it’s a stupid lil show about firefighters and their emergencies, but it’s also about a kind soldier with ptsd who doesn’t know how to love himself, but never once stopped trying, and a lost boy who became a lost man, but eventually found home and himself, and an alcoholic who’s still learning to forgive himself but doubles as a father figure to everyone around him, and a woman who lost everything, even her fiancé, but managed to build herself up from the ground, and a man who was forced to say goodbye to the one brother he had, but trusted himself enough to earn the life said brother would’ve wanted for him, and a woman who had to fight thrice as hard to become who she wanted to be, just because of who she was inside and out, and about a woman who was taught she didn’t matter, but believed in real love enough to try again. their stories are blended into the fun of it all. but they are bright enough to shine above.
Will Ao3 writers please write more found fics cause there is so little fanfiction for this fandom.
We are getting well fed with sir scenes this episode and I am here for it!!!
I'm not ever getting over Sir in his feverish state he responds to Gabi saying swallow with "Did I do good Mommy?" Listen I know at the the time he was having flashbacks but I don't care I'm deranged
