Okay crazy theory that I doubt will happen but it did I called it. The season ends with Gabi either killing herself or letting Lena kill her. Sir doesn't follow her into death however as he blames her family for self hatred to the point of death and not saving her so he now is determined to break them but not by just killing them as that would to easy. That is how in season 3 we will be able to get more of Dahn and Zeke flashbacks as sir will play with their traumas. Obviously I don't want Gabi to die as she is my favorite character and I would be devastated but this would be interesting to see play out.
(Edit: Another way they could do this is if Gabi is put in a coma either from Lena or from a failed suicide attempt. Sir would be just as pissed)
I post a lot about the ship but that's not even the worst thing that's not the thing that the show completely pissed on and hurt a lot of its viewers doing.
It's the ableism. It's Harry being turned into this antiquated disabled caricature solely to be laughed at. They know he's seen as autistic/nd. They all know, Alan especially knows and he has a large part in what Harry does says and is presented as given how much of Harry is improv.
Calling someone with Harry's traits a child just spits in the face of every real disabled/nd/autistic/etc person with said traits. Being so cruel to him for said traits is even worse. Watching the second half of s2 felt like a hatecrime and s3 is just a true blue sitcom out of the 80s. The act of making Harry like this in the first place for a joke is hurtful and so is the way he's treated in the show. The more disabled he became, the worse he was treated.Hitting him, calling him names/an animal, making fun of his voice/mannerisms/language, Asta's endless exhaustion rolling her eyes sighing on top of calling him a child when he does anything or tries to communicate, while she's supposed to be his friend. You're supposed to laugh at and think whatever he does is stupid, weird, wrong. If someone called him the r slur I'd be like yep that tracks for this show.
Season one made me feel seen, no one treated Harry like shit and if anyone was mean Asta would step in, people wouldn't make a huge deal out of his awkwardness it was just accepted, the humor of his failings felt like the writing was laugh with him instead of at him, we were meant to feel sympathy and closeness and believe in his better nature. There was SUCH a focus on being an outsider and feeling of not belonging, how that wasn't a bad thing and there were people who would accept you. The whole bond between him and Asta was about outsiders finding one another in a world that was cruel, but in Patience Harry could see the best in humanity and maybe not feel so alone. Breaks my absolute fucking heart that it's all gone, that people in the real world making this show said nope ableism and cruelty for our sitcom!
Did anyone else notice on the reading list some of the books repeat? Did they run out of classic literature lol
Where are we going, 911?
I just watched 8x16 and honestly, more than feeling angry about the writers' decisions, I feel disorientated and confused. I don't know what to expect for next season if they just killed one of the OGs. The amount of important things that developed off screen (Ex. how Eddie find it out, the airport scene, Buck's grief towards his father figure) the emotionless Buck, the Cameron baby plotline to smash any theory about Bobby being alive, the fact that he died after fighting suicidial tendencies for his whole life (Bobby didn. I was expecting something more emotional, I wanted to see how his death impacted the rest of the 118. I saw tears from them but it barely moved me (Chimney had the only acceptable crashout from all of them and I know that this is not the actors/actresses' fault, but I needed to mention it), and so many other details about the people the audience do care about (Why do writers think we care about damn Gerard? We don't).
I'm really trying to find any sense to this... Everything feels so out of place, and I think that's worse than actually hating the show: Feeling like you don't know it anymore.
For my well being, I'm gonna stop expecting for Bobby to be alive somewhere. Most part of the fandom is really upset and disappointed about this plot, and it's making the show losing loyal viewers that already had to deal with the lack of consistency of some characters' narrative and interactions and the lack of realism (something that as fans just intentionally ignore most of the time because the show was still good for other reasons). Besides, let's not forget about the fact that most people still watch 911 because of Buddie.
Now, I hardly see Buddie go canon at this point. For me, it would feel like putting a band aid on a bullet hole to try to stop the bleeding. Will I be happy when it happen? I'm sad to think that maybe not at all, because Buddie canon was something I was looking forward with so much joy, but I don't think I'll be able to enjoy it as I thought I would because my 118 team is never going to be the same anymore. Buddie was suppose to mean something for them as well, especially for Bobby ffs, how are we suppose to ignore that? Bobby was such an important figure for both Buck and Eddie, of course what he would think or react about it matter for the plot, at least for me.
I'm gonna continue watching the show, but I'm not gonna expect anything from it anymore. Bobby's death took away most of my excitement about 911 because it shows that anything can happen for the worst.

true love’s kiss breaks the curse/kiss of death
Keep seeing people confused by Agatha letting the world believe she traded her son instead of telling the truth, but…kinda tracks, tbh. Not for the rational mind, of course. Not if you’re looking at it clearly.
Which Agatha isn’t.
She did the worst thing, in her mind. She fell asleep. She fell asleep, knowing Death had bookmarked her son for later, and when she woke, found him snatched out from under her. She failed him as his mother. She let go. And all the power in all the world wouldn’t be enough to bring him back.
So does the wildly grieving woman who has just lost her only child (to presumably her greatest love, but that’s a city-sized suitcase for another day) let herself go through the process of coping with and adapting to that grief? Fuck no! What is she, common?? She goes on a power bender! Even though the kid she prized in her heart of hearts seemed less than into that very thing! Even though that kid may have been able, given enough time, to convince her to stop! So now, not only did she fail him, but she also opted to speed race down Murder Road! For power! That she still won’t ever be able to use to get him back!
It gets muddled, after decades and centuries of this feeling. It grows teeth. In a way, she did trade him for power. In a way, she’ll always have that sitting on her chest. Never mind that it’s not true. Never mind that she wasn’t a bad mother at all (in this respect, anyway). Never mind that he was sick, and this was always coming. For Agatha, who has been stewing on this story she’s been telling herself for centuries, it is what happened. She traded her son. She did the unforgivable. She fell asleep.
The opening with the sir dream and all the media shit got me hype for this episode!!!
hai guysssssssssssssss i am crawling out of the depths. anyway… watch found on nbc teehee
