    Tales From the 118 Episode 44: Season 9, Episode 13: Our "Mother's Boy" Review

    Lizzie and Lyra talk the Buddie fest that was "Mother's Boy," and yes, this is mostly aboutBuck and Eddie. Don't look at us, this is 9-1-1's fault! From the funny montage at the beginning, to the fact that they were happy to spend 30 hours together in a car, without forgetting that their first reaction when both of them woke up was to look for the other, this was giving procedural romance setup. Join Lizzie and Lyra as they break down where they've seen this trope before and what it could mean for the future of Buddie and 9-1-1. Contact us at: talesfromthe118@gmail.com

    Tales From the 118 Episode 43: Season 9, Episode 12: Our "Dads and Cads" Review

    Lizzie and Lyra talk "Dads and Cads" and how the Buckley parents do not deserve the grace Buck extended them. This is not a redemption arc, just acceptance of how bad they are as parents. And, of course, they also talk about the Buddie of it all, both on 9-1-1 and as Eddie and Buck head to Nashville for a crossover with 9-1-1: Nashville. And hey, that was fun... but very light. We don't need to make a habit of it.  We'd rather have some development.

    Tales From the 118 Episode 42: Season 9, Episode 11: Our "Going Once, Going Twice" Review

    The hiatus is over and Lizzie and Lyra are back to talk about 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 11! And a lot of things happened... but did anything really happen? Because week after week, it feels like this show reminds of how little these characters have changed while also giving us monolgues like Hen's about how much they've changed.  Lizzie and Lyra will admit that it felt right to see Eddie actually call Buck after Chris' "kidnapping," May and Ravi clicking, and even the whole Buckley sibling monent. But they still feel lost as to what direction this show is truly going in...

    Tales From the 118 Episode 41: Season 9, Episode 10 - Our "Handle With Care" Review

    Lizzie and Lyra are back to talk about the wild ride that was 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 10! And it was an odd one for sure. Because while the show had plenty of opportunities to be first responders to Abigail, the show decided to make her as unhinged as her parents. And they completly missed an opportunity to deconstruct some of Eddie's religious trauma. Instead, we have another kidnapping. They do admit though that everything with Harry worked in "Handle with Care." He has found his purpose being a firefighter. And despite Chimney's real fears about the responsibility of a probie but also family, Harry kept fighting. That's admirable. But Lizzie and Lyra are confused about that knife. When did Bobby have a knife? Did we miss that episode? Contact us at: talesfromthe118@gmail.com Find us on social media at: talesfromthe118.bsky.social, talesfromthe118 & Tales From the 118

    Tales From the 118 Episode 40: Season 9, Episode 9 - Our "Fighting Back" Review

    Lizzie and Lyra once again discuss the fallout of Hen's secrets, and how she's dealing with her illness. And though they don't love the writing, they deeply relate to Hen's position and how hard what she's going through is. It's good that, by the end of the episode, she let her family be there for her. Then there's Harry, who goes through his own journey this episode. And it's one they really enjoyed. They just wish Bobby was around to see it. So all in all, some good. Some bad. And not much idea of where the season is going. Join them for the latest Tales From the 118!

    Tales From the 118 Episode 39: Season 9, Episode 8 - Our "War" Review

    Lizzie and Lyra have mixed feels about 9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 8 "War." Because over and over again Hen was acting OOC and it wasn't she who deserved an apology. It was Chimney. He kept rightfully defending himself, and Lizzie and Lyra agree that Hen fainting derailed whatever story 9-1-1 was trying to tell.  And then there was Eddie and Buck AND Buddie. They were glad that the show remembered Eddie's veteran background. A little bit of continuity for you. (Let's keep that up.) For Buddie, it was fun seeing them doing a 2 for 1 job. But once again, we live in a post-Heated Rivalry world. We want more than crumbs. So, some good. But not all. And not most of it. Join them for the latest Tales From the 118!

    Tales From the 118 Episode 38: Season 9, Episode 7 - Our "Secrets" Review

    Lizzie and Lyra return to 9-1-1, after being blessed by Heated Rivalry, in their review for "Secrets." The biggest secret of them all is Hen's, who decides to not go to a doctor after her fainting spell and shaking hands. But it gets worse. It's been 3 months since she found out. And when Chimney found out, Lizzie and Lyra agree. Chimney was in the right to fire her! Then there's Eddie, Buck, and Ravi. A lot of their scenes were funny. But how did a storyline about Eddie... transform into a story about Buck where the show makes fun of his "bisexual escapades"? Decisions have been made. But do we understand them? No.  Join them for the latest Tales From the 118! Contact us at: talesfromthe118@gmail.com Find us on social media at: talesfromthe118.bsky.social, talesfromthe118 & Tales From the 118

    Tales From the 118 Episode 37: Season 9, Episode 6 - Our "Family History" Review

    Lizzie and Lyra talk 9-1-1's "Family History," and how even if it was mostly effective as an episode, it wasn't really a great midseason finale. Probably because it wasn't meant to be one! They also have some issues with Chimney's Captain arc happening mostly off-screen, and Hen's choice to hide his illness from her family for... what reason, again? The show's pacing is a problem, and its tendency to expect us to fill in the blanks is also an issue.  Plus, there are still so many dangling plot threads from last season!
