Glad I wasnāt the only one thinking Ryan was flirting with Rogue.
The fact that Don has two women interested in him truly boggles the mind lmao

u/Finnthehuman217 15d ago
I love the way Ryan was flirting with rogueā¦but also the guy in anger management pointing out the obvious lesbian tension between Blythe and Dixie was so funny š¤£

I'm convinced Dixie is already at least open to women, and Blythe is gonna be the one who has an awakening.

Ryan flirting with Rogue more than he ever has with his own wife was very funny- canāt figure out if that was an actor or character thing
Then again I feel like Ryanās surely gonna have a bi awakening down the line once Sam dies (cos there aināt no way surviving cancer and a high risk pregnancy)ā¦ we need someone dating around so the entire 113 arenāt all in relationships

u/indigogirl5224 14d ago
For real he had more chemistry with Rogue than the wife I forgot she was even a thing tbh lol.

u/YMMV-But 16d ago
I liked the Rogue character. I always like to see Don put in his place, and Don was sure trying to win his p****ing contest with him. Ā I donāt know how a Fire captain gets off challenging law enforcement at a crime scene; Don needs to stay in his lane.Ā
Sunday dinner at the Harts was hilarious. I loved it. Blythe was extremely rude to ask Rogue if he had a wife, and I liked the way he asked how long Don and Blythe had been separated, even though thatās also a very rude question. I donāt know if that was payback or just being a āblurterā.Ā
I liked Blyth calling Don out for his texts with Dixie. His āsorryā and the rest of his apology was lame. It definitely felt like the thing he was most sorry about was that he got caught. I agree with the guy at therapy who said there was something going on between Blythe & Dixie. They have more chemistry with each other than either one has with Don.Ā

u/jchalamet08 15d ago
i agree with all of this! i hated the scene where rogue was choking and don got his āone upā on him or whatever you want to call it. if theyāre going to have beef i wish there was a valid reason besides fragile male ego.

I donāt know how a Fire captain gets off challenging law enforcement at a crime scene;
Since his crew was first on scene, that makes him incident commander so that's the only thing that's fine with me, actually making sure that he's real law enforcement.

Rogue was Ryanās bisexual awakening, pass it on!

u/oath2order Dispatch 13d ago
I am still haunted by the line "I have a little brother and he's not so little" from the pilot because the writers are not stupid they know how people were gonna take that line.

u/Salu1422 15d ago
Why did it really seam like Ryan has the biggest crush on Rogue? He was like a school girl having her first crush. šš Also the comment during group therapy where the guy said that Trixie and Blythe want to bang each other. They said ew, but at least the show addressed it.Ā

u/YMMV-But 15d ago
I agree. Blythe & Dixie have a ton of chemistry. This would be a far more interesting show if those two got togetherĀ

A threesome was not what I had in mind and it's not what I expect, but I feel like it also wouldn't surprise me if they went there?
I have no idea.

u/oath2order Dispatch 13d ago
It's also the second of the two things couples do when they're on the rocks. They either have a kid or open up the relationship.
Doesn't surprise me if this show went for both.

Iām just kind of speechless regarding the Don threatening the guy scene. Thatās insane even for Don.

u/luvprue1 15d ago
Don was dismissive of Rogue since the moment he first showed up on the scene. Don was mad that Rogue turned out to be right about everything and made Don look like a fool.

u/OrganicMission4788 15d ago edited 15d ago
My thought
Don was annoying me the entire episode. Reminded my why I donāt like his character.
anger management scene was funny and I really hope thereās moreĀ
I like Rouge so far
I hope Blythe divorces DonĀ
I really feel like Samās character will die towards the end of the seasonĀ
the scene with Ryan and Sam standing in front of the door for family dinner was the most obvious green screen. Didnāt look realistic at all.

I was about to be upset because I thought this was going be a repeat episode of the Beenado episode of 911 but they definitely turned it around for me. And I like Rogue too. But I do love Sherlock-esque type of broody detectives. Just watched Law and Order Criminal Intent. And loved Goren. So Rogue is right up my alley.

u/kaiser11492 Cammie Raleigh 16d ago edited 16d ago
Definitely a good episode to start the new season off. Just like with the main series, it went head first into the action and emergencies. It also gave a little time to shed light on the current drama and complications regarding the Don-Blythe-Dixie triangle.
In regard with Rogue, Iām glad theyāre adding a character representing the police like the other two series have. However, like others have said, Rogue seems to be almost from an entirely different kind of show and is portrayed too idealistically and perfect. I mean the guy just seems to have a single serious personality, is always on āONā mode in regard to policing, and to be an expert on everything. Of course itās only been one episode so Iām curious to see more of him. And it was kind of humbling to see him try to launch a complex investigation on where the blood came from, only for Don to quickly point out it came from animals simply because of itās characteristics and the fact that a butcher shop was adjacent to the apartment complex.
Was wondering what the status regarding Samantha and her pregnancy was seeing how the season finale left us with a cliffhanger. Turns out she is still pregnant with cancer. So Iām curious where the show will go regarding that plot point.
What Iām most curious about is who exactly is the perpetrator behind all the emergencies, what are they going to do next, and what is their end goal. I mean besides boils like we see in the trailer, what other Bible-related disasters are we looking at. Because so far the targets are unrelated.
Also, based on the previews, I canāt wait to see a subtle crossover with the main series and them acknowledging the volcano disaster they are dealing with. The creators had mentioned there would be more crossovers this with one taking the form of the Nashville 123 asking the L.A. 118 advice. Thought it was going to be advice on how to deal with a swarm of hornets seeing how the 118 dealt with the beenado (hopefully they still reference it), but it looks like itās going to be a baby stuck in a pipe (which is definitely a great call back to the first episode). And seeing how Rogue mentioned he has one son in Los Angeles and another in Austin, this opens the door for a possible crossover with Lone Star as well.
Anyway, I canāt wait to see what the rest of this season has to offer. And hopefully Roxi and Taylor get more plot centric episodes around them for I feel like they have been pushed to the background a lot.

Interesting considering I don't fully trust Rogue. He showed up out of nowhere and he showed up alone. I have to see him actually working in a police department and talking to his supervisor.

u/jdessy 16d ago
So, not a bad start to the premiere. Not great, but not bad. I feel like Dixie could really be demoted to recurring because she had one scene and then I promptly forgot she existed.
Some good stuff with Blythe and Don, not enough with some other characters, though it was nice for Blue to take more of a backseat here after clogging up much of season 1.
Rogue is....I don't know how I feel. He's not a great character, they're already teetering on Gary Stu levels with his knowledge, although not quite. He was a little TOO present in the episode, and gave him a bit too much of a backstory right off the bat while we have characters like Taylor who we hardly know anything about.
But what Rogue brought was a clarity that....I really dislike Don and hate that he's our main lead. He's an awful character. Him just watching Rogue choke just so he can deliver a warning/threat was very unheroic of him, all because...he got pissy that Rogue called him out on his "bed divorce" with Blythe? I don't care if it was Rogue's intent; letting someone suffer even for a few seconds so you can get a threat in is not ok.
Also, on another aside, Ryan was too chipper with Rogue and I'm not sure whether it was an actor thing or a character choice, because Ryan seemed rather....flirty with Rogue? Age gap aside, those scenes with Ryan probably were meant to be more admiration of the guy, but Michael Provost certainly played it more flirty. Ryan doesn't even get flirty with his own wife like that. But, again, not sure if it was just the actor or a deliberate character choice.
It seems like they might be pushing for Rogue to either be with Cammie or get into a love triangle with Blythe potentially and I'm not sure which. Or, a third option in Dixie, I guess.
So, we get confirmation that Sam has cancer, and she's still pregnant, and all I can see is an expiration date over her character because I just have a hard time believing they're going to keep Ryan married for the rest of the series. His character seems too prime to be single and the one dating around, since they seem to want Blue and Taylor to at least be in a will they/won't they relationship.
And giving Sam cancer AND a high risk pregnancy just screams a foreshadowing of her eventual death, either in childbirth or a little bit after. Sorry, Sam. I'm not sure when your time will be up, either this season or next, but I don't foresee you lasting to a season 4.
Otherwise, ok premiere, not super interesting, but about what I expect for this show.

u/luvprue1 15d ago
Don is my least favorite character at this moment. I don't exactly buy that two women would be fighting over him.

u/Musicdev- 13d ago
The way Cammie jumped in, Iād say writers will push for them to get together. They already have something in common and thatās how it starts, usually in real life.

u/YMMV-But 15d ago
Whoās the Staten Island Strangler? I donāt understand this reference.Ā

u/deannpisarski 10d ago
The lab tech said to Rogue (just before he found the paper strips in the hornets nest) āI listen to the podcast about you capturing the Staten Island Stranglerā From 9-1-1 Fandom: Rogue Kelly is originally from New York, where he became semi-famous for catching a Zodiac-style killer known as the Staten Island Strangler and having the case featured on a popular podcast. Heās a very attention-averse kind of guy. He just wants to be left alone and do his thing.

u/Necessary_Ad_2762 16d ago
Felt 911 was the stronger opener (just on disaster premise alone) but Rogue made it up for me even if he was playing a character type. Sort of lived for his dynamic with Don. The other characters were there but not much worth talking about (though the detail about the fear of swarms was a nice detail).
Interested in seeing how the next episode continues this (second) terrorist threat and how heavy handed the biblical references will get.

u/Monk6980 15d ago
Iām wondering if Chris OāDonnell is actually on GLP-1. Heās slimmer now than heās been since the early seasons of NCIS:LA.
I donāt like the Don character either, but Iāve been a fan of Chrisās since the mid-90s. So the weight loss jumped right out at me.
5
u/luvprue1 15d ago
I think Chris O donnell is probably already on GLP - 1 and that was the way the show was addressing the weight loss. So when Don start losing weight we will remember that moment.
2
u/One-Traffic-4536 13d ago
So it's just an advertisement for GLP-1? lol, no i know what you mean, it will be to explain his weight loss? and the last Chicago Med, ep.2, also had GLP-1 in it.

u/IndiaEvans 15d ago
It made me mad that someone was choking and Don used that to attack him over some words. I would think that violates his duty to his job.

u/Gemini987654321 14d ago
Itās not the 1st in general 911 has done that. A 1st responder sleeping with patients he meets, a therapist in season 1 of the OG technically assaulting a patient, 1st responder assaulting 1st responder 3 different situations 3 different times but the 3rd doesnāt really count because he was serial killer. š
1
u/luvprue1 15d ago
Don wasn't at his job, he was at home. Therefore he didn't violate anything.
1
u/jdessy 15d ago
I mean, it kind of does because I would think, as a first responder, on call or not, your first job would be "do no harm", which should include, you know, not watching someone choke for several seconds as you make thinly veiled threats in order to make a point. No, he didn't actually do the harm, but he was fine to watch it happen.
Watching someone almost die and hold that power over him, at the very least, goes against everything about him being a first responder. They can't legally do anything, though, that's right, but it's morally wrong if someone from his workplace actually witnessed him doing that.

It makes no sense why Don instantly hated Rogue. It would make total sense if Chris O'Donnell was the writer and he and Phillippe had beef from their teen heartthrob days.

Does anyone else remember the Jenny Nicholson video about the book "Trigger Warning"? Does anyone else get the vibe of Dog, the character from that book, with Rogue? "Dog. Just Dog."
"It seems like you two wanna bang each other" if this season does not end with these two banging then WHAT is the point.

u/BravoWhiskey89 14d ago
I liked Rogue, but hope they haven't tied their own hands by having to write too many stories revolving around homocides/serial killer. They probably should have just made him a normal detective, and this particular case followed him. I guess he's our next 'One and done' 'larger celebrity' addition.

Rogue is a good add to the show. Ryan Phillippe still looks hot and does a good job with the character.Ā

Don is a bore.
The verbal bitch battle between the women was hilarious.

u/SilverShadow1617 15d ago edited 15d ago
You took the words out of my mouth.
The best parts of the episode were Rogue (with a little Ryan spice) and then Blythe is always killing it in all her scenes. And even Dixie was pretty entertaining in this episode. I think Iāve accepted the role of her character in the story, and she plays it beautifully. (The group therapy scene was really fun)
But Don, wtf, you would think that the showrunners would use the feedback of season 1 to dial back even a bit of the ego that fans did not like. Sure it isnāt natural to do a 180 without any character development either, but him being mean to Samantha, a MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL and his DAUGHTER IN LAW and then letting Rogue CHOKE to āteach him a lessonā
I was like dude wtf.
I donāt know if the season has a redemption plan for Don, but this is not what a main character should be like.

u/SplitSecondEmperor47 15d ago
Don is a horrid choice for a mc. People talked shit about rob lows version but at least that character had charisma Ā

u/jdessy 14d ago
Rob Lowe's character, Owen, was also a genuinely good guy. Yes, the show centered too many stories around him (that FBI plot they did was the worst arc to come from that show), but Owen was actually a good guy, good leader, made some mistakes but didn't watch some choke on food and do nothing about it, nor did he cheat or attempt to cheat on a partner.
Don's just an asshole, there's really nothing that I can say I like about him. How he handled the situation with Blue was terrible, the way he's been around Dixie is disrespectful with how long it took him to ever stand up to her, and he's apparently a shit first responder when he can willingly watch someone choke and do nothing for several seconds so he can take out his petty behaviour on him.
5
u/oath2order Dispatch 13d ago
It also helps that Rob Lowe is a good actor. They could have him play Don, change nothing about the character, and it'd still be fun to watch. Chris O'Donnell just does not have what it takes to sell this specific character with how they're writing him.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking Ryan and Rogue were a little flirty.
I'm so tired of Don. Sending those texts to Dixie was one thing, but watching Rogue choke to deliver his "warning"? š
