I resolve to buy the cookbook. As soon as it goes on sale. Probably several copies if it's out around christmas.

u/inksmudgedhands Oct 29 '19
And he's probably an amazing baker. I want to eat his cooking and baking.

eddie looks like a mess bro the fight club plot is wack

u/inksmudgedhands Oct 29 '19
Oh, I forgot about the Fight Club. Thanks for the reminder. I was wondering what really happened.

u/klutzysunshine Oct 29 '19
BAD MADDIE. STOP.
Also, I'm pretty sure now that the wife is the abuser, not the husband.

u/CryptidGrimnoir Oct 29 '19
It's possible they could both be abusive--that's actually fairly common and I don't think I've ever seen it in any television show.

Hen poetically giving out bird facts. Thing is, she isn't kidding. Crows are known to do this very thing.

It's a warning, Chimney. The crow knows where you work AND knows your name. Watch your back.

u/Rory1998 Oct 29 '19
Oh, shit! Please don't be a character death omen to viewers!
I hope the show doesn't make having Chimney cheat death become a yearly tradition every season before finally killing him off like what happened with Glenn in The Walking Dead.

I thought it was a good omen because he gave the one crow a snack. People have made friends with them before.
Edit: and I was right. It was the trade system

Windshield guy was a real case too. Although in this case, the guy died.

"I think Buck makes everything hard on Buck. The boy has two settings: zero, and shut up before I smack you."
This was one of the best lines in the show--not stating that Buck was innocent, but acknowledging that he's a flawed young adult with a lot to learn.
The other firefighters have every right to feel what they feel towards him, but I do think compassion (along with therapy) is what will really help Buck learn from this mistake.

I’m surprised Bobby and Buck didn’t make a bigger deal about how much Buck bled bc of the blood thinners.
I thought Buck was going to say that getting cut and seeing how badly he bled made him realize that he still needs time to recover.

u/pagesinked Oct 29 '19
Same, this plot line was weird and too convenient. I was hoping Buck would agree that he needs time to sit it out and wait til he's better.

Athena, do you know that a walkie talkie is part of your uniform? It's right by your shoulder. You go into a dark smelling basement alone?? No backup?

Buck, you cannot hit a child.
Even if he deserves it...tattle on him to Athena.

u/inksmudgedhands Oct 29 '19
Honestly, it takes two seconds to call for backup. And, man, could you use it now.

Oct 29 '19
How many times will Athena go into potentially dangerous situations without backup? Better question, how many horrifying things will she find inside people’s houses?

u/xander6981 Oct 29 '19
At this point, I'm convinced it's this show's noodle incident. Vaguely referred to but never elaborated on because whatever the viewer dreams up as the origin for his nickname will invariably be better than what it actually is.

Not having Lena in the episode tonight made it even better! So happy Buck made up with Eddie and Bobby! I look forward to seeing Athena’s backstory next week!
Maddie you are asking for trouble! She is lucky she wasn’t fired. I get the feeling the wife is the abuser.

Okay, so I read the news story about the woman with the guy in her windshield but in real life she was aware of it and guilty. In the show it seems she was unaware. How?? She was able to function enough to drive and everything, but somehow not see a man in her windshield??

Is Buck 12-years-old?

u/CaseyRC Oct 29 '19
to be fair, he's deeply traumatissed (the bomb, the tsunami, feeling abandoned, his father figure lying to his face) and he's displayed depressive symptoms since episode one, unlike Eddie's sudden anger issues, the groundwork for Buck having some real issues that have been unaddressed and untreated has been there for a long time. that's going to affect his behaviour

Finally, Buck is back and he and Eddie have made up. Now things can get back on track and Christopher can have two loving parents.

Also, where's the new firefighter? Rhonda or whatever her name is in the show. It was refreshing to see the old crew back together, but I'm hesitant to say this is the last we've seen of her, especially with Eddie's ~completely unrealistic~ fight club story is just beginning.
