Tales From the 118

Lizzie and Lyra saw the latest Buddie divorce end super fast in 9-1-1's "Imposter Syndrome." But more importantly, this led to conversations about Eddie and the lack of storylines about him without diminishing Buck's storyline with Theo and the nuances of that. Because it's not all black and white... Join Lizzie and Lyra as they break down this episode and how much they love the Grant family! Contact us at: [email protected]

Lizzie and Lyra think Buck and Eddie are in for some major angst after the disagreement over how to parent Theo. But also... Eddie is kind of right, even though they understand where Buck is coming from. As for the rest of the 118, the lava is done and over with it and it was due to everyone being competent. But within that, there are some problems... Join Lizzie and Lyra as they break down this episode and how this was the best opening emergency in ages! Contact us at: [email protected]

Lizzie and Lyra are actually entertained by the volcano shenanigans happening on 9-1-1 Season 10, Episode 2 "Fire in the Hole." It's almost like this might be the best opening emergency they've had in years. Also, the Grant siblings. Who wasn't crying? Meanwhile, Maddie has become super important in her job and it's ruining her life while the rest of the FireFam is somehow fighting lava...

Lizzie and Lyra are back for another season of 9-1-1! This time around they're discussing Season 10, Episode 1 "That Sinking Feeling." And oh does it tease a lot: an upcoming Buck and Eddie fight, Maddie's new job, and even Athena taking down that volcano (because she will, trust.) But also, another instance of people thinking Buck and Eddie are a couple? Really?! Join Lizzie and Lyra as they break down this episode and talk about what it means to be family for the FireFam!

Lizzie and Lyra have reached the end of Season 9 of 9-1-1 and thankfully none of our main favs died! But it was giving Grey's Anatomy a little too much. Either way, everyone at the 118 and adjacent is starting on a new path now that they're "done" grieving Bobby. But does this season make sense in the long run? Join Lizzie and Lyra as they break down "Hearts and Flowers," what they want to see in the future, and how Eddie Diaz was paid dust. Again.  Contact us at: [email protected]

Lizzie and Lyra aren't bothered that 9-1-1 9x17 is making a Buck a dad. It's how the show got there that's bothersome. Because it proves that 9-1-1 has zero concept of pacing. They just slap things together. You could see it with Theo but also with how soft they were with this ICE storyline.  So is 9-1-1 about realism? Or are we just filling a time slot on ABC? And what's the overall plot of this season?  Join Lizzie and Lyra as they break down "I Got You Babe! Contact us at: [email protected]

Lizzie and Lyra had a lot of fun with 9-1-1 "Where There's Smoke" despite some of the heavy circumstances around it. Firstly, they loved how everyone came together like the Scooby Gang to proved Chimney's innocence. That's their Captain. And while he's playing Princess, they're doing everything to clear his name. Also, Brat Buck. You knew Sam's name. But appreciate the going awake cake. Which, Eddie and the baked goods and then Eddie's kitchen. Just so many moments that reminded these two why they watch 9-1-1! But these two can't ignore the heavy weight of this episode and how they... don't know where this show is going in Season 9...

Lizzie and Lyra agree that 9-1-1 9x15 "Pick Your Poison" is one of the best episodes this show has ever done. Oliver Stark's acting was top notch as his character Buck struggled with his addiction and the withdrawal that came after. And when he needed help, everyone chipped in, closing ranks and proving that found family is this show's strength. On non-Buck related notes, we enjoyed Athena's investigation, even if it was a little cheesy. And on May and Ravi, both agree that for Mayravi to work we need to know more about Ravi. Maybe it can be solved by making Ravi a season regular! Join Lizzie and Lyra as they break down "Pick Your Poison"! Contact us at: [email protected]

Lizzie and Lyra are concerned after the events of 9-1-1 9x14 "D.I.Y." They're concerned about the amount of time that random couple got. They're also concerned about how this show keeps putting Buck and Eddie in situations that scream "this is going to lead somewhere romantic." And they're concerned about whether this show can handle a possible addiction storyline with Buck. Either way, things get heavy here as Buck and Eddie try to find their way after the kidnapping and May tries to find her way in life.

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: [email protected]
