Lab Rats

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.

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.

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 am so deeply disappointed with this episode (the last one wasn't better).

As a fan, I feel disrespected by the writers of 911. How did they manage to write this big emergency without including one of their main characters ???? Eddie deserved to be part of this, especially if Bobby's death is real (which I believe it won't be).

How come the writers couldn't include Eddie's reaction to his death but they manage to include Tommy's? Tommy who was not part of the 118, Tommy who had racist and misogynistic attitudes towards Chimeny and Hen?

The writing was lazy (it had some good parts) but Eddie's absence was so loud that I couldn't feel the emotions the characters were supposed to portray.

One thing I need to give to 911: it sure loves to give screen time to racist characters (and actors).

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.
