Fandom Friday: Random Fandom Thoughts #45: 9-1-1 and TV


Happy Friday! Here are a couple of my fandom thoughts:

- So far, I'm really enjoying the eighth season of 9-1-1. It feels like a big improvement over the seventh season. Although, I still have an issue with the return of Captain Vincent Gerrard, who is still an awful person. I'm disappointed that the Showrunner and writers thought it was a good idea to gloss over Captain Gerrard being very racist, misogynist, homophoic, etc in favor of just making it seem like he's just a jerk. You wrote this character to be horrible but now you want to pretend that he's not that horrible. They did the same thing with Tommy Kinard by making it seem like he wasn't complicit in racism and misogyny when he totally was.

All that aside, the first four episodes have been fun and interesting to watch. I'm really looking forward to next week's Halloween episode, it's been a while since the show had a holiday episode. As for this Thursday's episode, I'm glad they didn't drag out the storyline with Hen and Karen trying to get Mara back. However, it's probably going to be a while before Eddie's son Christopher returns. I can't wait to see the house Athena and Bobby end up getting. I wonder what Maddie and Chimney's story will be this season. Also, I hope that Buck and Eddie will get a chance to be together.


- As a TV fan, there are so many good shows on for this fall season. Between new and returning shows, there are so many good ones to choose from. I'm just so happy with the selection of shows.
