If you are friendly with a fan of the TV network of television “9-1-1”, give them a little additional space this week. The series – created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear – just slammed a few torpedoes in the hearts of his viewers by unexpectedly killing the captain of Lafd by Peter Krause Bobby Nash at the end of the episode of season 8 “Lab Rats”. Nash, with his wife Athena Grant-Nash (Angela Bassett), was the emotional ballast of the series. It is the stabilizing influence which prevents young dollars from wavering in their duty (as much as possible). In addition, because it is Krause, a television favorite because of his memorable roles on “Six Feet Under”, “Sports Night” and “Parenthood”, the shock is particularly deep. How does the spectacle, this hidden narrative convention (in a necessary way), continue without its dramatic security coverage?

This question will be addressed in the next two episodes (the final of the season will be broadcast on May 8, but it will not be really answered that further. Bobby, and it was not pretty.

And they should be grateful for this one because, at the start, the episode had to end with a resolutely brighter image.
People did not seem to love the original plan
In an interview With Insider TVThe showrunner “9-1-1” Tim Minear-who, having written for geek, is favorites like “The X-Files”, “Angel” and “Firefly”, knows by triggering the indignation of the fans-was asked if the episode “Lab Rats” was always supposed to end in this photo of the Nash helmet.

According to Minear, “at the start, it would just be the body bag.”
Yikes. Just Bobby zipped in plastic like Joe Gideon in “All that jazz”. This would have been a round kick at the temple of anyone who was invested in “9-1-1” since his first 2018. The interviewer responded with a laconic “oof”, to which Minear replied:
“And I know, exactly, the reaction you have is the reaction I live. [of the helmet]And I’m just like, “put it at the end.” “”
So consider this, fans of “9-1-1”: if you felt emptied at the end of this episode, know that Minear wanted you to even feel worse. I guess you can do comfort knowing that they have never played with a ship drops to Nash, but maybe keep your guard. His funeral should be the focal point of the next episode.
