Fashion Meets Fandom: Kim's Red Print Dress (9-1-1)
Kim (no last name given) was a former actress turned retail worker or owner, I'm not really sure. I would have to go back and rewatch her two episodes to make sure. In the 9-1-1 episode Ashes, Ashes (season 7 episode 9), Kim had a date with Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz. And while they were enjoying a relaxing moment on the lake (or pond I'm not sure), she was talking about her time as an actress on a not so successful show and surprisingly provided a bit of insight and analysis on Eddie.

Why did the writers rewrite Eddie Diaz's relationships in the sixth season?
Happy 9-1-1 Monday!
I have some thoughts about Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and the sixth season of 9-1-1. This sixth season is still one of my least favorite seasons because it was so poorly written. One of the many things I didn't like was how the Showrunner and writers re-wrote Eddie's relationship with his late wife Shannon. They tried to change the perception of not only how their relationship was (Eddie and Shannon used to argue a lot and the love they had for each other was bare minimum). But also as a way to try to garner sympathy for Shannon who prior to dying had been shown as being a bad parent.

Most Memorable Scene: Eddie and Buck take Christopher to see Santa Claus (9-1-1)
I can't believe it's three days before Christmas, the time is just going by way too fast. Anyway, here's an interesting Holiday scene from 9-1-1's season 2 episode Merry Ex-Mas. What's interesting about this scene is that earlier in the episode there was a scene where Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz was in his bedroom with his not so estranged wife Shannon and Eddie had mentioned not knowing what their son Christopher wanted for Christmas. Shannon then asked him "Did you take him [Christopher] to see Santa?". What follows was a fun little moment with Shannon making fun of Eddie being afraid of Santa when he was a kid.
Anyway, what was interesting about this was that Eddie and Shannon had been sleeping together for months but were not really technically back together. However, it seemed like they were sort of on their way to reconciling, but not quite yet. At this point, Shannon still hadn't reconciled with Christopher yet because Eddie was sort of keeping her at arms length because he wasn't sure how to re-introduce Shannon to Chris since she had been gone from their lives for nearly two years. Which is why it's interesting that Eddie didn't invite Shannon to go with him and Chris to see Santa especially since she's the one who mentioned it. Instead Eddie invited Evan "Buck" Buckley who at this point probably only known each other for only a few months (I'm not sure about the show's timeline, so I figured maybe between five to six months).
The scene in the video with Eddie and Buck waiting on Christopher to see Santa is so memorable. Because I think this would have been the perfect moment for Eddie, Chris and Shannon but no the Showrunner and writers decided to put Buck there. They were sitting so close together that it's understandable that Blair the Santa Helper Elf told Buck in that infamous scene that "You two have an adorable son". There was no point including Buck in the Santa scene nor alluding to him and Eddie being parents to Chris. See this is what fans and viewers mean when they talk about how the Showrunners and writers choose to write Buck and Eddie. The writers could have easily had Buck say that him and Eddie were not a couple and Chris was not his son. Especially since the writers had no problem doing just that in the fifth season first episode Panic when Eddie's then girlfriend Dr. Ana Flores was alluded to being Christopher's mother and she said that she wasn't his mother just a friend. So then why have Buck who's supposedly written as just a friend not correct Blair the Santa Helper Elf but have Eddie's girlfriend Ana make a point in saying she's just a friend. Funny enough, that scene with Ana being called Christopher's mother ended up causing Eddie to have a panic attack.
So in not wanting to make this any longer, here's the Eddie, Buck and Christopher scene from the second season 9-1-1 Christmas episode. Happy Holidays everyone!

The Story of Christopher Diaz part 2
I had some additional thoughts about the video, The Story of Christopher Diaz that I posted yesterday and wanted to share them. First, I like that this video included Christopher's mother Shannon Diaz because I thought she was not a good mother and it's okay to say so. That doesn't mean she didn't love her son, but she was not equipped to be a mom, not everyone can handle being a parent. During the scene in the second season episode Haunted when she was in Christopher's bedroom looking at a picture of him and seeing how much he had grown, she asked her estranged husband Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz if Chris had asked about her. Eddie gave her a roundabout answer as to why Christopher didn't talk about her.
Then later in that same scene, when her and Eddie were in the living room, she asked if she could see Christopher. All I could think of is why didn't she ever contact her son in the nearly two years she had been gone? She could have called him, had weekly video calls, e-mailed him, wrote and mailed him letters, sent postcards, sent him presents that included notes or letters or did absolutely anything else to have continued communication with her son. Instead it just felt like she truly gave up on him and didn't see the point in communicating with him.

The Story of Christopher Diaz part 1 (video)
Happy Wednesday!
I found this really amazing fan made video by Killiarious Youtube that includes scenes from 9-1-1 that focus on Christopher Diaz as well as his parents Eddie and Shannon (and Evan "Buck" Buckley). Since it's Disability Pride Month, I wanted to post this video of one of my favorite characters. It's a little long (over 30 minutes) but it's really good. One thing I like about 9-1-1 is the writers don't ignore Christopher's disability but it's not the only thing they focus on for him.
Christopher is an interesting character because he's a well-rounded and complex character. He's allowed to be a smart, funny, caring, thoughtful, creative and wonderful kid. Which is why I like that this video also included scenes of Christopher being upset and angry because no one is happy and positive all the time. I'm really looking forward to seeing how his story will continue in the upcoming sixth season.
