Show notes

We're back! Hear us discuss another one of those 9-1-1 episodes with one extremely serious plot and one silly ridiculous plot. Presumably Athena sought capital punishment for the corgi off screen.

We catch up for a while at the beginning of this episode, skip to 14:31 if you want to get right into our coverage of the episode.

This week on 9-1-1, Eddie is in his technophobe era, Bobby is in his roomba bloodthirst era, and Buck feels stuck. A classic!

TERROR! At the Hollywood Sign! (S4 EP 2 "Alone Together") Oct 03, 2025

Show notes

Hear us discuss the thrilling culmination of season 4's opening disaster. A deliciously campy episode that manages to pack so much whimsy and emotion into its 42-minute runtime that it makes one genuinely mourn this era of the show. Ah well, nevertheless...

Bus Fuel Can't Melt Bobby Nash (S4 EP 1 "The New Abnormal") Sep 26, 2025

Show notes

Hear us finally dive into 9-1-1 season 4! Covid-19 has come to 9-1-1. And as if that wasn't bad enough, dams are breaking, buses are crashing into buildings, and Bobby is surviving blatantly unsurvivable events. Funny, that.

Ice Ice Bobby (S3 EP 17 "Powerless") Sep 05, 2025

Show notes

CONTENT WARNING/TIMESTAMPS: In this episode, we discuss the show's depiction of a rapist and some of the events surrounding that. We don't go into any detail about any of the assaults, but we do spend some time both recapping those parts of the episode and discussing the implications of the show dealing with such subject matter. If you want to skip any of that, here are the specific moments in the episode:

28:06 - 33:45 - Recapping the part of the episode in which Athena is trying to track down a rapist + questioning his victims, also discussing the show's tonal problems in depicting these things

56:56 - 1:04:58 - Discussing the implications/coding of Athena's beating at the hands of a rapist
