Ships that deserved better from their shows

8/9 of these are from the One Chicago shows because that universe is really good at ruining ships they create. And only a bare minimum gets to be endgame.

As for 911 well....... Bobby should have NOT died.

UPDATE:

Chicago Fire fixed Ritter x Dwayne

Reckoning Crossover fixed Upstead

Finally properly (re)watched the In the Trenches crossover. I feel this was a really good one due to the fact that there was a lot at stake, not just for the city but also for the characters who are at the core of the shows. The case was great and all, but what I really appreciated was the characterisation and the development of all the relationships in this one, romantic and non. Obviously, the three couples were front and center (more on this in a sec). However, they had so many nice nods to other relationships across all shows, like the 51 guys not leaving Mouch to search for Trudy on his own, Herrmann asking how she was doing later in the crossover, Mouch coming back for Kidd. Or Kev quietly being there for Kim, checking that she was doing fine (because he knows her). Heck, we got even a glimpse into the kind of relationship Mouch and Voight have, which was a nice surprise. I wish there was more of this all the time and that's what crossovers really are for. I think this time we really got a real sense that these are people that all know each other and that interact with each other beyond work.

Now, let's talk about Plouch. My beloveds! Oh, how much I suffered in this! I do not like seeing them argue. At. All. Though Trudy was very right in being pissed off with Mouch for forgetting her birthday (again! Season 2 of PD anyone? Remember?). And then she gets shot. Three times. Not one. Three. I obviously knew she was gonna be fine, but it was heartbreaking to see her like that and Mouch's reaction made it even worse (cue to Violet in the ambo having flashbacks of losing Hawkins). 😭😭😭 Hats off to Christian Stolte because he really killed it in this one. The scene he had with Dr Charles (another nice nod to the fact they know each other fairly well) and the one where he talks to Trudy before the operation really showed how much he loves her and how much he was blaming himself for leaving things like that. I loved that Charles had to remind him that he's the "that's why she married you husband" type as he was having doubts about his heart being in the right place, and Charles was totally right. And I SO loved Mouch saying that he loves Trudy because he can never guess what she's about to say, among the other things. 🥺😍 That's so in character, for both of them. I just wish we had more of a moment at the end of the episode as they did at the end of All Cylinders Firing, though you can kinda see that things are gonna be fine for them. Yet, my little shipper heart wanted more.

Speaking of blaming oneself. This seemed to be a bit of a theme there. I felt a lot of the characters went through it in the episode. One thing I am less happy about is that we did not get much of the aftermath (or, like, nothing at all) for Trudy because she just disappeared for episodes afterwards and we did not get any info on PD, only snippets from Mouch on Fire and Med (!). I mean, she was her usual badass self, dying many times and coming back from the dead only to virtually solve the case first thing when she woke up. But I wish we had seen more of what was going on in her mind afterwards. At the start of the episode she is the one who gives Bates radios. She lets her into the case (while also being a bit of an ass, admittedly, yet she seems to care). Is she going to overthink the whole thing and blame herself for this? How is she going to feel knowing that Bates was the one who shot her while she gave her the in? I wish we'd seen that.

And guess who was also blaming himself? Ruzek. Because he left Trudy on her own to chase the suspect. Again, I would have loved to see Adam (and Kim) visit her at the hospital at the end. I know, I know, beyond the scope of these shows, but still. There's a lot to unpack there for sure.

I also loved what they did with Stellaride and Burzek. Lots of parallels there. Obviously, Stella is all worried for Severide and she's the one getting trapped instead. You don't say! And they did a lot of foreshadowing there with the "we make the time" deal. Burzek was also fantastic and yet different. While we had Severide visibly struggling to keep it together to an extent, Kim was trying very hard to stay strong and collected (even though we all know she was panicking just as much as Severide). That really came across in the various phonecalls and in the reunion at the end. 🥺

Other miscellanous things:

Violet being pissed off at Frost for being late and then for fixing the ambo was hilarious.

Honestly love Frost. He's such a likeable guy.

The law of guest stars told me right away that the Milkin guy was key there. There's no way you get someone who is well-known like Nate Corddry just to play "Random guy in server room #1".

Archer kicks ass. That's all.

The two girls, Becca on the subway and Ellie in the hospital, were both a force to be reckoned with, even though Becca kinda verged on the Mary Sue. She knew too much of everything. I was expecting her to actually lead the rescue op or fly a rocket at some point.
