In season 3's Christmas episode, Buck continues to be a child/dog, Bobby appears not to be deathly ill (THIS time anyway), Michael is walking into glass doors like a confused bird, and a whole lot of 9-1-1 callers are struggling to feel that Christmas Spirit. I guess the only remedy is some good old fashioned Christmastime exposure therapy.

It doesn't help when your Computer Assisted Dispatch system goes down and you have to go back to using paper maps like in the olden days.

Enjoy this already obsolete bonus discussion of 9-1-1 season 8 episodes 9 and 10.

Feb 28, 2025We've hit our first 'Begins' episode! Let us take you through the backstory of one strong female firefighter Henrietta Wilson. This is kind of a slow burn episode where we gradually realize what we thought was a well-written episode may not have been so well-written after all. As this comes to us from the same writer as season 1, episode 9, TRAPPED, we have no choice to conclude that perhaps writer Aristotle Kousakis, and not S1E9 story credit Adam Glass, was in fact to blame.

Dec 13, 2024Today we find ourselves TRAPPED in a discussion of 9-1-1 season 1 episode 9, Trapped. I don't know if you picked up on this, but this episode is actually all about being trapped. Several characters get into situations in which they are, either physically, metaphorically, or both, trapped. They also play the song Trapped by Bruce Springsteen just to further emphasize that the story is about being trapped.

Nov 15, 2024This week we cover Bobby's first backstory episode, Point of Origin. Also featuring a Babby (Buck/Abby) phone sex scene. Yes, we recorded this episode on election day. No, we did not yet know which way the election was going to go. Yes, looking back on our clueless innocent minds is tragically ironic. Just keep repeating 'It's only a podcast... Only a podcast..."
