Lab Rats

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.

The writers can go ingest a satchel of Richards

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

He's got zero clue about who his audience is, what they like, why they're watching the show. He doesn't understand his characters, either. And he especially seems to hate his actors. He needs to leave this show and go straight to superhell. This episode was extremely poorly written and makes no narrative sense. Shock value death is so lazy, and completely out of tune with the show. There's been nothing realistic about this show (and especially not this episode) since day one and that's what's kept everyone watching. It's low stakes! That's why we like it. No matter how absurd the story gets, everyone makes it home! It's a comfort show, you don't kill off main characters in a comfort show! You barely even kill side characters. Once again, Tim Minear has no idea what's he's doing.

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.

I made an account on this godforsaken website just to rate this episode one star. The decisions made in this episode completely undermines and betrays the covenant the show has built with its viewers over the last eight years. If tim wanted to make a different show, he could've created a new show. This was our silly wee woo show - 9-1-1 provided levity, comfort, and found family to its viewers, and the reaction to this episode shows just how out-of-line this was - is there not enough suffering in this world? This episode was nasty in a way that just felt especially and needlessly cruel to the viewers who have invested their time into a stable and comforting show.
