It began with a dispatch call...

I've started watching 911 and maybe it was always meant to be this way. After watching this youtube video, it was affirmed that it is the kind of procedural drama I do enjoy, even though I limit myself to Grey's Anatomy almost exclusively. Grey's is my soap for sure. 911 is great for putting on while I do other things. Like learn html by creating my own website.

Now, I'm currently nearing the end of Season 1. Tone flips sometimes where it's being campy and then it gets crazy serious. The episode I'm watching now had Athena hooking up with a guy and they both get handcuffed to the bed so she calls Hen to bring the keys to the bedside table. Note: not to uncuff them, just bring the keys closeby for later. But in the episode before the captain (name escapes me... [It's Bobby, they just said it on the show]) admits to wanting to die after saving a certain number of lives?? It makes for a good character motivation and a really dark, but interesting dynamic to see a character deal with but what is it doing next to the lighthearted shit? Like now they are moving their way through a booby trapped house? What in the kook?

According to what I will now refer to as The Video (required viewing before we engage in discussion about this body of work), the show will commit more into the campy vibe in the coming seasons. It must if we are ever approaching the the Bee-nado season 8 premiere! That is a long ways away still.

I've been working on the monthly playlist page (while also backing up all my phone's photos on my new external hard drive! It's giving hyperfocus) as I've started season 2. What a start! Huge earthquake bringing a fucking building down and also the overpass collapsed!! The writers said, "Let's escalate!"
