Actually, Buck's was the one storyline I could do without
carly_hope7 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I kinda like this topical concept. When done well, as was this case, it is very enjoyable. It would be good to pepper something different in between so it doesn't get repetitive.

I like Chim and Maddie and how they are handling their story so far. They are sweet and seem very good for each other. And they are actually talking about their issues and hopes and fears and expectations. How refreshing.

I also like Bobby and Athena and Michael and Glenn. It's an interesting and difficult situation and the maturity and care with which all of them, including the kids, handle it, is inspiring.

The opening with Norman and Lola was funny and sweet and also heartbreaking. But it's always good to see Romy and Daniel on my screen.

My favorite part though was the story of Thomas and Mitchell. It was beautifully done love story in a very limited space. But it told us everything we needed to know. And while their ending was sad there was also something satisfying about it.

I just don't understand why they feel the need to throw women at Buck the moment he breaks up with Abby. Because despite the jokes, he actually broke up with his first long time girlfriend just last episode when he moved out. And while I'm really glad the annoying news lady didn't stick, I don't particularly care for random hotel lady either. Give the boy a break.

Other then that after the last two weeks again a very good episode.

I'd rather see more 911 cases...

I wish the show would be more about the 911 cases and less about the characters love stories. Don't get me wrong, I like the characters but I'd rather the emphasis be on the 911 calls and cases and let the characters story be in the background. I mean, it is after all called 911 right?!

The episode was fine but not great. Felt a little bit like I'm watching a soap opera with all the crazy love stories. I'm getting kinda tired listening to Buck whine about his love life. The guy is young, good looking and cute. He has grown since the pilot and that's great but come on, how hard is it for a guy like that to find a nice girl?! It's not very believable. Maddie and Chim's love story is way more real and interesting. I like them together, they seem good for each other and there is room for developments.

I keep thinking about the episode of the little girl and the home invasion. The first responders were working with the 911 operators and that was so interesting! I wish to see more of that! This job isn't just another job, they save lives and deal with really complicated and dangerous situations and that should be the focus of the show!! That's what makes the show special, otherwise it's just another drama.
