                                            Chicago Fire - 4.5 - Regarding This Wedding





     I was happy that they didn't just sweep Dawson's miscarriage away as if it didn't happen. I liked it opening up with her talking to the chaplain.  It was sad but it was a great scene.
     Riddle is such a douchebag. There is no way he made it this far without someone punching him in the face several times. I don't know how he can "personally verify" someone as fit for duty when he's barely verified as a human being. I don't know how many times I called him a !*?! in this episode.  He and Patterson can go kick rocks together.
     I love Boden. I love Boden when he's angry and when he's protecting his firehouse. He is really the "father" of that family.
     I am sick of Severide being kicked around every time he turns around. The so-called authority figures always have a problem with him and at this point, I'm a little tired of it being used as a plot point. Get new material. He's a dedicated, hard working and respected by his peers and subordinates. It doesn't look good to keep harassing him over silly crap.  I need him to be badass Severide and shut these idiots down. He needs to start fighting back, harder.
     I want to see more of Casey and Severide are working together to save a victim. They're at their best.

Grade: B
Most Surprising - How much I am enjoying Jimmy. I really like this kid. He has a lot of heart, work ethic and he knows how to have fun.
2nd Most Surprising - Patterson helped Sylvie with the wedding song (I still don't like him)
Best Head to Head - Boden and Riddle. I think Riddle is underestimating Chief and he looks unhinged.
Best Scene- The firehouse wedding
Best Performance-Sylvie's wedding song.
Worst Scene-It's just a pet peeve but the fiance was literally JUST brought into the ER and the first question the bride asks the doctor is when he'll be discharged. He hasn't even examined the patient yet.
Biggest WTH - The BDSM scene. It's so overdone at this point, is anyone surprised when they see a man and woman with collars, whips, chains and generic viagra? Nope. Not even surprised when they're married to other people either.
So Adorable - Steve McQueen's smile. I did not like him on The Vampire Diaries but as Jimmy, he is really caring and charming. He has a smile that lights up the firehouse. I'm just surprised and I like that.
Biggest Middle Finger - Patterson taking credit for the wedding as a human interest story. He is really going to regret crossing Boden and Severide sooner or later and I can't wait to see it. It's going to be beautiful. Sucker.

-I really want to like Chili but I just don't. I don't know if it's the actress or the character but I didn't like her character on Friday Night Lights either. I'm hoping she'll grow on me because they seem to be pushing her towards Jimmy.
-I really liked this episode and where the season is headed. I think they're balancing the cast out better and it shows.
-Molly's may be my favorite bar. I love the look of it and the feel it gives off. If I ever quit my day job to own a bar, I'll totally steal ideas from Molly.


Quotes:
Boden - "We are having the wedding here. I'll be damned if Chief Riddle or anyone else is going to change my way of running this house. He wants to fight, then lets fight."
Connie - "Oh and Chief? What you're doing here, with this wedding? Not the smartest move you ever made."
Boden -"Better to die on your feet than live on your knees Connie."
Herrmann- "Heads up. It's the Riddler."
Severide - "To hell with him. He was never going to give me my bugle back anyway. Shove it up his ass, Chief."
Severide - "There's one thing that's become crystal clear in all of this. It's either him or me. I'm not going anywhere"
