Welp, curiosity took the best of me and i decided to check on the episode...
It's funny how empty i felt tunning in to watch the show today, considering it used to be the highlights of my thursdays... Anyway, back to the issue.
The vibes are all wrong to me, and it's obvious why, because as much as the writers wanna pull a "look all those different dynamics showing up" like they couldn't have make athena interact with karen or chim when Bobby was alive... is just pissing me off, but worse is people who will probably fall for it and see the way Tim wants it. No me though, i still see this episode by what it is.
The team all separated and all grieving in their own ways, because Bobby was the joint, as the the only time this felt like 911 in this ep was the flashback in the beginning. The rest? Just feels like angst, drama and damage control in response to unnecessary writing decision.
And i feel confused by this episode, because the characters are floating between not giving a fuck bobby is dead to completely falling apart. People could go and excuse this with "they're trying to keep it together but spiraling over their grief" but, when you have your viewer questioning if the character is acting in a way because it's in character or due the writing forcing a narrative so they act that way for the writer even if it doesn't really make sense for the character... you know something is wrong.
Hen refusing the promotion, is predictable of Tim and honestly another low point to me... However if they set up Chim for Captaincy it would be the most reasonable these folks have been in years, but eh i don't bet on that.
I guess the writers finally reminded that Eddie is a main (probably damage control after being bullied for 3 weeks of their own stupidity),
Athenachim beefing is understandable at best given the circunstance and I figured Athena and Chim would end up stuck together by the middle of the episode given the ongoing beef.
It's going as predictable as it could. There is literally not a single new aspect that justify killing Bobby and it honestly pisses me off considering Tim was so nonchalant about new possibilites when he could totally have pulled off with Bobby very much alive.
How much you wanna bet Chim is going to save Athena, there will be some buddie hint, and then the last scene of the season will be family dinner, cooked by Buck, to keep Bobby's spirit alive?
