Wait.... Did they... No... did they switch out Ravi for.... Brad?!

This was such a waste of episode,

Like seriously, all this hype for nothing.

Athena took the show again. After she took both seasons premiere, I hoped we would get more firefighters' storylines (maybe, I dont know, a fire???) than copaganda.

It was in really bad form.

There were some light points in this episode, not related to development, more like cute and funny, like Eddie, Hen and Chimney all trying to save Buck from backsliding.

And Jee!! Omg!! That was the cutest thing ever!!

I want more of that!!

Gotta say that with one episode left to the mid season finale it was a poor choice for an episode.

Did I laugh at crack Brad and crack Gerrard and Bobby's misfortune? absolutely.

Did I love the holy trinity of Eddie, Hen, and Chimney looking out for Buck? yes, I did.

Did Maddie and Chimney giving Eddie vibes by dropping Jee at Buck to get him out of his funk gave me feels? Hell yeah it did.

But the rest? Mostly just a waste of perfectly good minutes that could have been devoted to some actual firefighting and maybe God forbid some characters development, AND NOT THAT OF THE GUEST STAR'S!!

Athena is at the end of her story, signs for retirement could have waited until the middle of next season, and to be honest I don't see her retiring, looks like she's saddling to take on rookies as a TO.

Which is great, not what we need seconds before the fall finale.

And what's with all the callbacks being converted into a joke? Like will we get any emotional payout this season out of these horrible disasters, or is this TM's fucked up version of exposure therapy?

Because no one seems affected, at all, there is no meaning beyond the screen time.

Seriously? Get a grip and get the characters where they need to be 8 seasons in.

If these douchebags get canceled with nothing to show for it in the terms of development of the two lead males who are somehow still single and not together, it will be the most wasted show in history.

Tim put your big boy panties on and for fuck sake reach a point where we can all say, okay, now we're getting somewhere.

If only for Buck to know that being attracted to both genders means THERE IS NO POND TO CHOOSE FROM, IT'S JUST ONE BIG LAKE!

Damn this is exhausting.

So Brad cringe moments were accompanied by a lot of hugging. Seriously, I am not a hugger, and Bobby's reactions each time were hilarious.

But it got me grumbling and thinking, in all of 7 seasons together, we had maybe three Buck and Eddie hugs?

And with Brad and Bobby we have at least twice as many now in barely half a season?

I mean, overcompensation is a thing,

But wtf Tim?

Brad is virtually a stranger,

Are you telling this man hugged his no fan Bobby more times than best friends for like forever Eddie and Buck?

Yet somehow Eddie opening the door in his underwear without them getting eventually naked together is more reasonable?

I have a bone to pick with TM.

Seriously, the callbacks being without much emotional payout except for the well and that was a buddie shared trauma used to move Chimney's plot along beautifully,

But the hugging turned into a joke? Not cool man.

[sickofthistoxicshit]

Brad, you're so cringe 🤣🤦‍♀️

Also, I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW!!

I knew Brad would shadow Bobby in the firehouse 🤣🤣🤣

Also, "they put me in a coma", hilarious.

Tim really took all the greatest hits and made them into a joke. Timmy, you suck so bad 🤣🤦‍♀️

[sickofthistoxicshit]

Let's saddle up?

Is Brad going to be our buddie publisher?

[sickofthistoxicshit]

Brad, what's with the hugging?

And why am I getting Buck vibes from Brad?

And why the hardass Vincent Gerrard sounds like whiney Buck?

And if I hear "Since Tommy dumped me" one more time, I will scream. Poor baby Buck in all his glory rubs me the wrong way.
