Tim minear doing this for shock value when NO ONE wanted this is not funny, it's not cute, and it's actually lost yourself a viewer. We liked the show because it was a safe comfort show not whatever he's turning it into now. Also the very obvious lack of care for other characters as well as the audience is every evident and not something i started this show for. Beyond over it. Maybe he will learn once the viewership tanks that he made a mistake but i doubt he would admit it anyways. You have two weeks to fix this tim so i would try before you lose everyone who loves and cares for the show and its characters.

People do not watch this show for its realism; rather, we are drawn to it for the comfort and entertainment it provides. In today's world, there is an undeniable need for an escape from reality. This series has been a source of entertainment for millions, and this particular episode marks the beginning of its decline. Despite this, the actors delivered stellar performances, deserving of the highest praise.

There are more sophisticated methods to captivate an audience. This approach resembles a juvenile attempt at seeking attention with a "look at me" flair.

I do not intend to watch season 9 or the spin-off, 9-1-1 Nashville.

Fans watch it for the idealistic values and the fact the "main characters always find a way". They find comfort in the personal storylines of the characters and not the emergency's. No one was becoming uninterested or bored of the same emergency's or repetitiveness of the show, we watch it to see the development of the characters and how they grow and learn from things. How their relationships grow and how they work together as a team. It was never about the emergency's or violence it was about the personalities and how they change throughout time. We want to see new relationships, more kids, even possibly add a new main character not ruin the foundation built to support the story's. Thank you for destroying the purpose of this series to many viewers.

As Peter Krause said in an interview at the end of the previous season (S7, 2024);

"The characters in the show have survived so many horrible and life-threatening accidents, like characters from Looney Tunes cartoons - none of which ever died. So in keeping with the language of the show, we are incredibly resilient characters. We go through things and we come back ... We want to speak to people's resilience and, in Bobby's case, redemption. So, I don't know if killing off characters is necessarily a part of the language of the show - at least not the main characters."

... and yet, here we are.

I love you, Cap.

I think the real issue that we're experiencing right now is that Tim Minear doesn't understand his audience. Most people watch 911 as a comfort show. We watch for the silly emergencies and the found family feel. There are a thousand other shows we could watch if we wanted our main characters to be at deaths door. The fact that they always got out of the most impossible situations alive is why people watch. There's comfort in knowing everything is going to be okay. Tim wrote the show he wanted to write but forgot the audience he was writing for. When people talk about this show in the future this is the episode that people will point to and say 911 jumped the shark.
