    George Fail-ey (S6 EP 11 "In Another Life")

    This week, in one of 9-1-1's stupidest chapters, Buck has a ham-fisted It's a Wonderful Life alternate-reality coma dream. For no reason! It stinks!

    Buck Gets Struck (S6 EP 10 "In a Flash")

    This week it's another boring and lame season 6 episode. Except at the very end something mildly interesting but narratively misguided happens.

    Normal Desmond (S6 EP 7 "Cursed")

    Hear us discuss season 6's NOT Halloween episode, Cursed. An episode with an okay A plot in which Eddie actually gets close to having chemistry with a woman! Unfortunately, the B plot is just a deluge of unwanted information about Buck's jizz. If you're going to write an episode all about Buck's come, at LEAST make it homoerotic. Boo!!!

    Planetary Awesome And Lasers (S6 EP 6 "Tomorrow")

    Buckle up for one of our most negative nancy episodes yet. We were tragically not impressed by 9-1-1's Henren-focused, 'N.A.S.A. gets exploded' episode. But at least they used the original version of Mustang Sally.

    Gay Oven Theory (S6 EP 4 "Animal Instincts")

    Join us for a classic 'Ryan and Jane complain for over 90 minutes' First Respodcast episode. Sorry! It's season 6! Take us as we are or leave us! We talked a lot about Buck's sperm AND came up with a brand new Buddie household item theory, does that make up for it??

    Athena Grant Is On the Scene (S6 EP 3 "The Devil You Know")

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes non-graphic discussion of CSA/pedophilia and child murder. It's a heavy episode of 9-1-1! We don't go into much detail but viewer discretion is advised. No timestamps because it's more like the general plot of the episode we're discussing than specific moments. This week we cover one of 9-1-1's most harrowing (and in our opinion, effective) episodes: the culmination of Athena's life-long goal to solve the disappearance of her childhood neighbor. It's an episode with endless southern gothic orange grove atmosphere, supportive husband Bobby, and only the most tasteful of needle drops.

    Terror! At the Happiness Symposium (S6 EP 2 "Crash and Learn")

    We're crashing and learning this week discussing the 9-1-1 episode Crash and Learn. We have mixed feelings! While Athena does awesome moody Southern gothic things in her hometown, the 118 respond to some really lame calls, Buck is annoying, and Hen almost dies trying to be a doctor and a paramedic at the same time. The moral of the story? We're really excited for next week's episode.

    Butthurt Buck Begins (S6 EP 1 "Let the Games Begin")

    It's finally time to start unpacking season 6, and Jane's SISTER IS HERE!!! Haven't you always wanted to hear about 9-1-1 from the perspective of a viola DMA candidate? Us too. Unfortunately for her, Bobby and Athena do NOT make it to their cruise ship honeymoon in this episode.

    We've finally reached the conclusion of season 5! Hear us go in depth on this rather mediocre, anticlimactic finale. At least it had lesbianism!

    Bonus: Our Thoughts on Season 9

    Join us for a relatively measured and non-controversial look back on season 9 of 9-1-1. Really, I'm not even being sarcastic! Our hottest take is that we thought this season was pretty alright, lacking some of the epic highs and lows of previous seasons. We even consulted you listeners for your own takes. Chapters for your convenience: 00:00 Intro/revisiting season 8 6:38 General thoughts/highs and lows 57:15 Theo storyline 1:07:18 Buddie 1:35:31 Listener hot takes (1:51:02 - 2:02:27 is when we discuss Buck's addiction storyline, CW for discussion of opioid addiction and alcoholism!)

    To Catch a Thief (#FOMO AF) (S5 EP 15 "FOMO")

    This week, it's your beloved co-host Ryan's BIRTHDAY!!!! So you'd better all be nice to him and accept all of his takes as correct. This episode of 9-1-1 is an emotional rollercoaster, from goofy reality TV antics to one of the show's most devastating calls. Season 9 finale? WHAT season 9 finale?!

    Karma Police (S5 EP 14 "Dumb Luck")

    It's a classic theme-driven 9-1-1 episode this week, this time exploring DUMB LUCK. And you better believe we'll hear that theme repeated over and over again. Hear us break down perhaps the one true good Lucy storyline of the show, the funniest needle drop in 9-1-1 history, and Eddie's continued frustrating writing.

    Maddie's Lost Days (S5 EP 12 "Boston")

    Today it's a more serious and pensive episode of the Respodcast than usual, as we discuss Maddie's tragic and triumphant journey on the east coast. Content warning: This episode of 9-1-1 is a little heavier than usual, and depicts a suicide attempt, as well as much discussion of mental illness, addiction, and treatment for the above. Take care!
