Next season on 911: 18 episode opening disaster. The end. Canceled.

Season 10 predictions!!!

Buck will feel like an inadequate parent. This will be fine, then he’ll learn he is a good parent, and then his friends will call him immature for some reason.

Hen will lie to her wife.

Eddie will be sad about Shannon and occasionally remember he has a son. He will yell at Buck at least twice and explain that he has it harder as a single father because it’s actually a competition.

Chimney will insult Buck. Then think about leadership and living up to Bobby’s legacy. And then he’ll insult Buck.

Maddie will get teary eyed about not being on the phone any more now that she’s in a managerial role. Josh will be Present and they will not address the promotion debacle.

Athena will end up in a submarine somehow. She will consider retirement again before deciding she’ll stay as a beat cop.

Harry will be in danger at least once so Chimney can learn a valuable lesson about leadership.

May will be Ravi’s Girlfriend or Harry’s Sister in most scenes and if we’re lucky get one (1) episode dedicated to her at nursing school.

Like, imagine if, after Bobby died, Tommy had pointed a finger in Buck’s face and implied that he hadn’t done everything possible to save Bobby? Imagine if Tommy—realizing Buck was still grieving and sensitive about being abandoned by people he loves—had mockingly and angrily referred to Buck’s behavior as "the trials and tribulations of Evan Buckley"? Imagine if Tommy had walked out after the fight without speaking to Buck, leaving only an ambiguous note that made Buck think he’d left without a word?

(Remember how, to this day, the time he called an Uber and only told Buck the date was over once the car arrived gets thrown in Tommy’s face as a cruel move? Even though he explained why he cut the date short and said he still thought Buck was adorable? Good times.)

It wouldn’t matter if Tommy apologized later. He would always be hated and defined by those actions…

The thing about Mother’s Boy that bothers me so much is how disconnected from the entire season it is, both leading up to it, but also the effects after it. Its sole purpose was to give Buck a drug dependency, which would’ve been a good avenue to get him there in a show that was not about first responder and not featuring a guy who has nearly died on duty or a guy who hasn’t already sustained bodily injury, again, on duty. What’s the point of centring a show around people who risk their lives every day to save other people if you can just throw them in the desert with a serial killer for absolutely no reason.

And if that wasn’t bad enough (it is bad enough considering the opening emergencies for the past 3 years have been about off-duty catastrophes), nothing that happened in the episode had any lingering effect on Buck or Eddie. Buck didn’t revisit how he feels about being a replacement son or his parents’ divorce. Eddie didn’t question what Buck means to him or the idea that a town assumed he was queer and/or in a relationship with Buck. Buck was willing to sacrifice himself to keep Eddie and Chris together, a thing we’ve been given concrete evidence of for years. Eddie wasn’t more willing to use a gun on someone than he did in the military, than he was willing to fight Mitchell and co to escape their other kidnapping.

So what did we get, exactly, that couldn’t have been done via an emergency?? Anyone can write coincidence, and coincidence is going to happen now and again, but that entire episode is only coincidence, and then ties to nothing after it. What I’m saying is the same thing I said at the start of season 9: the glaring thing that has felt off about 911 in recent seasons versus the initial seasons is that they keep saving the high risk, life or death moments for the off-duty days, where instead of first responders risking their lives, the mains’ lives are put at risk and they become the emergency while just happening to be first responders.

The auction will forever be my nemesis not least of which because why was there only ONE man betting on anyone? And even then, was part of a larger group bet. I’m supposed to believe two lesbians were going to that auction for support (blackmail) but a second queer guy in LA isn’t showing up to a charity firefighter date auction? Okay

I'm going to put this as negative because it's me being grumpy, but I saw this post and while I agree, it also doesn't escape my attention while other Disney official accounts are posting Bucktommy First Kiss, the Official 911 on IG scene chosen for Buck to talk about his sexuality is one in which Tommy doesn't appear and which also revolves around Buck's concern about having lied to Eddie (which isn't the central point of the scene, but we know how it's been interpreted).

Anyway, it probably doesn't mean anything, but I always find it a little sad that Tommy will never be celebrated as a queer/gay character on the show during Pride. Maybe Josh still will be by the end of June, because he's still on the show even though he's not a main character, but I know Tommy won't be (and I wish I were wrong). And I don't think it's just because Tommy isn't on the show anymore; after all, he's not on the show anymore because the showrunner and team involved decided to listen to the ones who "hate THAT Tommy," and here we are, dealing with a community of shippers who think they're "very nice" while simultaneously being hostile, harassing, and spreading lies about other queer shippers who want to be in fan spaces and interact with the show's content.

I’m sure they have probably done this before……but seeing the 9-1-1 IG post “For Emmy Consideration” for THIS SEASON is so………be for f*cking real 😂😂😂

Timbo’s infectious mold whispering in ABCs ears:
