Yo, what an episode! It’s been some time since a TV collection did such an amazing job with a brand new character introduction. Perhaps it’s the actor. Perhaps it’s the character. However it labored.
That’s why this Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 5 assessment might be raving in regards to the latest addition to the Fireplace Nation household.
Captain Camden Casey is the teacher of Cal Fireplace Part 3 cadet coaching.
As if a brand new firefighter wasn’t sufficient to get enthusiastic about, we additionally celebrated the re-opening of Smokey’s, skilled an emergency aircraft touchdown, an overpopulation of stranded vacationers, and a freaking fireplace of hell.
This episode opened in a disappointing vogue, within the aftermath of Bode and Gabriela having one other hookup within the RV nonetheless parked inside the fireplace division.
Regardless of placing the brakes on a relationship, Gabriela continues utilizing Bode to satisfy her bodily wants. For him, it’s the beginning of one thing critical. For her, it’s a repair. A strategy to distract herself from all she’s screwed up.
Sorry sister, however no sympathy right here. You’re in a large number of your individual making.
If she had postponed the marriage to Diego as he’d provided, she wouldn’t be in debt making an attempt to pay again his household for the marriage they didn’t end. And now, she’s residing within the RV that Bode could possibly be utilizing since he’s making an attempt to maneuver out of his mother and father’ home.
We’ve all seen that Diego has been MIA in the previous couple of episodes. Now we all know he’s gone for good. Poor dude.
Not that anybody blames him. Why keep in a small city the place you might be trapped in tight quarters together with your ex and the man she left you for whereas working together with her every day as her boss?
Actually, she most likely did him a favor in the long term. She’s a large number. Has been for the reason that present began. She wants a while to get her life so as earlier than she goes again into any relationship.
Proper now, she’s caught in self-destruct mode. And it’s annoying AF for this viewer.
First off, cease being so thirsty. Making an attempt to get Bode to sneak off for a hook-up whereas on shift whereas nonetheless in Part 3 coaching with a brand new hardass boss isn’t accountable conduct.
Particularly if you’re hooking up in an RV inside a fireplace station full of strangers in search of shelter after an emergency aircraft touchdown. To not point out most of CFD, together with your dad and pals.
Good strategy to keep on the DL.
Jake and Eve had already discovered she and Bode have been again to messing round. However they didn’t know she was residing inside the fireplace division. Neither did Manny.
Not that Manny would know something about Gabriela since she’s too busy being a brat. Sure, he’s again in jail. He made a mistake. One which prompted the primary Station 42 firehouse fireplace. However transfer previous it. Everybody screws up.
Chime in, fanatics. Is she in the correct together with her anger at Manny? Or is she being egocentric?
It’s disappointing to see the strain between Bode and Manny. They’ve been uber shut for the reason that present began. I’m certain a few of us perceive why Manny is in opposition to Bode and Gabriela being collectively.
This viewer is in full settlement. Like Manny says, they’re not good for one another.
Bode’s stroll of disgrace within the present’s opening credit proves that. Bode is on a path of redemption. He’s making an attempt to reside his life proper and show he’s a modified man.
Being with somebody who’s ashamed of your relationship isn’t proper. Bode is greater than a bit of meat. He deserves flowers, public acknowledgment, and gold.
Talking of gold, since we’re speaking about 24K, who else liked seeing extra James? She and Bode have a pure correspondence, they usually’re simply alike. She makes one helluva firefighter and a good higher barroom singer.
Perhaps my music-addicted mind was overly flooded with serotonin on the jam session with Vince and James, however I would like extra of Audrey in any method we are able to get her.
If I had a crush earlier than, I’m in love after her piercing ballad appeared to be a vital wake-up name for Bode. Hopefully, we’ll see extra of her and Vince on stage now that Smokey’s belongs to the Leones, full with Bode behind the bar.
I’d virtually favor a derivative of her than the sheriff one the community has within the works. No offense, Baccarin. I’m a music addict.
This episode revealed a bit extra about James’ romantic standing. It confirmed that she has a boyfriend, however they’re doing the long-distance factor.
In case you take note of small clues (perhaps that’s why I’m so good on the Masked Singer), like James searching homes together with her boyfriend, you’ll have seen she was taking a look at two kinds of homes.
So, this viewer’s thoughts sees how her future may go certainly one of two attention-grabbing methods.
There’s chemistry between Audrey and Bode. So, possibility one is that Bode takes a step again from Gabriela and begins one thing with James. This viewer helps this! In any case, she stated she most well-liked ATVs and meteor showers, that are all NorthCal.
Bode, my man. That’s your woman. Get her!
However her boyfriend was sending photographs of Southern California seashores. Rumors are the latest Fireplace Nation spinoff will happen in Southern California, with Camden Casey as the principle character.
And after assembly Casey (Jared Padalecki), that’s one collection spinoff I can’t wait to attempt. So, if Audrey doesn’t turn out to be an everyday on Fireplace Nation, perhaps she’s going to be a part of the Fireplace Nation: Surfside ranks.
Proper now, Casey is Audrey’s coaching officer. However there was a bit present of sexual spark when Audrey blew the roof off Smokey’s.
Holy Beetlejuice, what was that?!
So, a second possibility could possibly be that she strikes south to be together with her boyfriend and works with Camden since he is aware of her abilities — and boy, does she have them.
Or, alternatively, she strikes to be together with her boyfriend however finally ends up with Casey.
Since I’m speaking a lot about Camden Casey, let’s go forward and get into how we really feel about him.
In case you’ve learn our Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 5 spoilers or any of the latest information releases concerning Padalecki’s Fireplace Nation arrival, you knew Camden was going to be a shot of whiskey over a glass of tea.
That means not everybody was going to love him. However those that do like him as a result of he stimulates them.
Jake and Sharon fall into the don’t like class ATM.
Casey is cocky and daring and set in his methods about methods to prepare firefighters throughout Part 3. And that methodology appears to be letting them get hands-on and up-close.
Casey needs to assist Bode turn out to be the very best as a result of he is aware of it’s attainable. Of the lots of of firefighter cadets Camden has educated, he’s by no means seen anybody like Bode.
Critically bizarre to see Bode because the one making an attempt to comply with the foundations, solely to be informed to disregard them and do what his boss says. Poor Bode’s most likely as confused as a pet making an attempt to determine his loyalty to his not too long ago divorced mother and father.
However there’s a purpose that Camden needs to show Bode methods to depend on his instincts.
He comes with a tragic backstory, and I believe it’s a pleasant nod to a different of Thieriot’s exhibits, SEAL Staff. All through its run, we frequently heard of an elite SEAL group unit that died, forsaking just one member.
That member joined the present for SEAL Staff Season 7 to fill the void left by Clay’s (Thieriot) dying, which impacted the complete collection wrapup.
Casey misplaced a crew of 9 firefighters throughout a horrendous fireplace. He blames himself for surviving and for his or her deaths as a result of he ignored his intestine to comply with the foundations. Given Bode’s heroic outlaw tendencies, having validation for breaking the foundations is a deadly weapon.
Sharon isn’t going to love this.
Jake’s strategies are the other of Casey’s. He’s like Sharon, preferring to overprotect Bode from himself and all the things round him moderately than letting him discover his method.
Each Sharon and Jake almost misplaced their minds when Bode stood on prime of the aircraft to place out a cockpit fireplace. A transfer he wasn’t imagined to do as a fireplace cadet. However Casey let Bode go along with his instincts and it led to him changing into an web sensation.
Jake informed Casey Bode is tough to captain. However is he?
Bode did high quality with Camden, who used Bode’s fearlessness to their benefit. It looks as if Jake meant extra like Bode is tough to regulate.
Who’s in the correct? Jake or Camden?
Bode is a unfastened cannon. Is it a good suggestion for him to get into the behavior of going rogue? No less than he adopted his new boss’s orders, even when these orders have been to ignore following CFD guidelines.
However then once more, Camden appears to march to the beat of his personal drum, too, guidelines be damned. Simply take a look at the best way we acquired launched to him!
Our first assembly with the maverick SoCal firefighter will perpetually reside on in my reminiscence as certainly one of my favourite scenes.
Stroll right into a NorthCali bar carrying a Dodgers jersey, denim denims, and flip-flops, put Tom Petty on the jukebox, and begin a struggle by throwing your shoe at a large physique of muscle.
Then, to flick a dude with a coin and finish the struggle with salt and pepper? CBS, we agree together with your spinoff determination. Make it occur!
Camden didn’t begin the barfight to be a troublemaker. The blokes have been concentrating on Bode, blaming him for Diego’s departure. However as an alternative of Bode dropping his cool and moving into bother, Casey got here to the rescue.
That’s an attention-grabbing strategy to meet your boss for the primary time.
That first impression needed to instill some loyalty in somebody like Bode. His boss had simply taken on a pack of offended drunk guys so he wouldn’t get into bother.
Casey is fast on his ft, arising with unconventional concepts. From interrupting the struggle to placing out the baggage fireplace on the firehouse, which backfired right into a blazing fireplace from hell.
In fact, our favourite firefighters should cope with a fireplace that continues to burn, even underwater. Like huh?
Cool, however uh-oh.
He even had the good thought of pulling the blazing pallet outdoors and letting it burn out since they couldn’t extinguish it. Two inside fires appear extreme for one firehouse.
Granted, this season’s station fireplace occurred from the moronic aircraft passenger who was too lazy to go outdoors to blaze up. Not a fireplace captain in overprotective mode who threw a punch at a nasty man.
A foul man whose donated kidney continues to be good. Yay, Sharon isn’t going via kidney rejection.
We’re additionally pleased with the excellent news of Eve’s path to household reconciliation. She made up together with her brother — who initially rubbed this viewer incorrect — and came upon she might be an aunt.
However provided that she reconnects together with her mother and father. We doubt it is going to be as simple as together with her sibling. It might sound demented, however I hope the household drama stretches out a bit.
I’m having fun with seeing extra of her private life. Hopefully, we’ll see her discover somebody to like quickly, too.
What did you consider Fireplace Nation Season 3 Episode 5 and Camden Casey’s entrance? How did you want Jared Padalecki as a surfer fireplace captain? Did this present do sufficient to curiosity you in a collection spinoff that includes Casey because the lead actor?
