<\/a><\/div>\nThe second case comes to balance things and bring comic relief to the story. When a couple having sex in a hot tub ends up stuck together, Eddie uses some relaxation techniques to turn the lady off in a scene that is both surprising and funny. By the way, people feeling stuck might be the episode\u2019s theme: Athena is feeling stuck not only by the ship but also by her relationship with Bobby. She fears they have nothing in common when at peace \u2014 as if their love could only make sense during chaotic times and stressful events. Maddie and Chimney are also stuck by their spreadsheet dating plans, while Christopher feels stuck by his grief, which fuels his anger and motivates him to treat girls this way because \u201cthey will leave him anyway\u201d, just like his mom did.<\/p>\n
Well, this premiere was really good, especially when it comes to the 118 parts! But I finished my first watch with mixed feelings, and not so sure about what was bugging me. After a rewatch, it was clear that I expected more from the cruise plot. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I was aware from the beginning that this story would be told in 3 episodes, just like the tsunami arc. So I had a very vague expectation of a premiere focused on this gang of international smugglers that would lead to a sinking ship conflict in the next two episodes. I got over it quickly \u2014 the way it happened makes sense, after all.<\/p>\n
That said, when I first watched those very awkward interactions between Athena, Bobby, Norman, and Lola, I felt confused \u2014 after all, where was the conflict, the action? During the rewatch I realized maybe the conflict wasn\u2019t the sinking ship (cruise), but the sinking ship (Bathena). And then I understood what bothered me the most during that first view. I\u2019m all in on Athena and Bobby working on some personal aspects of their relationships, such as why they are in love with each other, and also what makes them a good pairing when there\u2019s no chaos around them. I\u2019m all for it \u2014 so the reason Athena was acting strange was fine, but how she expressed those feelings bugged me a little. Some moments feel out of character for Athena, and there is also this comic relief tone added to these scenes that doesn\u2019t match with the brink of a catastrophe \u2014 but I\u2019ll expand my thoughts on this after watching the whole arc, it\u2019s too soon to draw a conclusion. Regarding my first impressions, I believe this approach to Bobby and Athena\u2019s relationship can result in some interesting moments.<\/p>\n
Overall, this was a very solid, very entertaining season premiere \u2014 I missed these characters so much, and the cast\/crew did such a good job introducing new plots, old faces, and new cases, all while making it feel the same (but stronger than ever). I can\u2019t wait for next week and for this season as a whole.<\/p>\n
What about you? What was your favorite moment from \u201cAbandon Ships\u201d? What do you expect to watch on this #9-1-1onABC season?<\/b><\/p>\n
Thanks for reading, and see you soon!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
