The Last Alarm

There was a tacit agreement with the audience, that's where the magic was. It's not fun anymore and I'm out.

There was no good reason for this to happen. None. You got bored and wanted to do something extreme, but you forgot you only have a show when people want to watch it.

1 star is the lowest rating. That second star I gave was entirely for the actors, who are doing their best, and who we love. I'm sure there are crew members who can share in that too, but I can't give anymore stars than this. It needs to reflect that I will not be watching anymore.

I reset my password to get back into this account I haven't touched in years, specifically to leave this review.

I think this is the laziest way a tv show sent off their main character. . . Truly crazy how the bar keeps getting lower and lower. Hopefully both tim minear and kristen reidel move on to 911 nashville and we get a showrunner duo that actually cares about this show and its characters outside of having flashy emergencies.

This season had a tremendous amount of potential. But i guess for tim minear good tv means making movie references no one cares about and bringing back characters no one asked for. . . Characters that have contributed to workplace harassment and discrimination towards 2 of their main characters by the way!

S9 should be this show's final season if they plan on continuing like this !!!

It's truly astounding how a show built around a family can fall do far from it's peak. It's incredible that a bunch of randos had more screen time and emotional exploration than the actual main cast (except Athena). Where was Buck's grief? Eddie's? Hen's? Fantastic job at taking a well set up season and tanking it.

The fact that Eddie was told off screen, that he returned off screen, that the random family of nobody's had more screen time than almost all of the main cast is a great way to make us all deeply uninterested. There was so much potential this season and then even within this (awful) storyline there was potential and it was all squandered.

Incredible.

I'm beyond disappointed. Bobby Nash was the heart and soul of the show - the captain, the leader, the emotional center - and they barely gave him the tribute he deserved. Half the episode was wasted on a pointless mystery instead of focusing on Bobby's legacy. There should've been more flashbacks, more heartfelt scenes, something to truly honor his impact. The grief was mostly off-screen, and the reunion with Buck and Eddie felt rushed and empty. It genuinely felt like key moments were cut. Bobby Nash deserved better. This episode was a letdown and the show just isn't the same anymore. Im so sad.

The worst ending to a used to be great show. They handled this so badly and disappointed so many fans. Might as well not even air season 9. Getting rid of Bobby Nash, a beloved character, was the worst decision screenwriter Tim could have ever done. And for what? "Realism"???

Including the side story about the possible stolen child was nothing but to laugh at viewers face for thinking there was still a chance they would bring Bobby back on this episode. Complete and utter lack of love for the fandom who are the ones who have stuck with this show through 8 seasons. This has been the worst decisions this show.

Will not be watching season 9.
