Was There A New Chicago Pd This Week
Did Chicago PD Ditch Us Again This Week?
Let's be honest, folks. Did anyone else feel a slight twinge of betrayal when they tuned in Wednesday night?
Instead of Voight growling and Halstead brooding, we got… reruns. Seriously?!
Is it just me, or are these unplanned hiatuses becoming a weekly event? I'm starting to think the Intelligence Unit takes more vacation days than I do.
Must Read
The Case of the Missing New Episode
Where did our weekly dose of Chicago crime-fighting go? Was there a scheduling conflict? A major holiday I missed?
Maybe Burgess and Ruzek finally took that honeymoon. Perhaps the whole team needed a group therapy session after all those intense cases.
Or, and this is my unpopular opinion, maybe the writers are just messing with us.
My Unpopular Opinion: They’re Messing With Us
Okay, hear me out. Is it possible that the Chicago PD producers enjoy the collective groan of the fanbase when a new episode vanishes?
Think about it. We all flock to social media, desperately searching for answers. We rewatch old episodes, dissecting every line of dialogue.
It's genius marketing, really. Keeps us engaged, even when there's nothing new to engage with.
I'm picturing the writers now, sitting around a table, cackling maniacally as they decide which week to pull the rug out from under us.
“Let’s give them a repeat of that one with the serial bank robber!” someone probably shouts. "They'll love that."
Don't get me wrong, I love Chicago PD. But the sporadic schedule is testing my patience. I am not the only one right?
The Waiting Game Continues
So, what's a dedicated fan to do? We could stage a protest outside the NBC studios. We could flood the internet with angry memes.
But honestly, that sounds exhausting. Plus, I'm pretty sure Voight would disapprove of such uncivilized behavior.
Instead, I'm going to do what I always do. I'm going to set a reminder on my phone for next Wednesday. And hope, against all hope, that a new episode actually airs.
Maybe I’ll bake a cake. That'll show 'em.
In the meantime, I guess I'll just have to rewatch that one episode where Atwater goes undercover as a drug dealer. Again.
Anyone know when Chicago PD return? Hit me up on twitter!
A Call to Action (Sort Of)
Let's all agree to collectively manifest a new episode for next week. Positive vibes only, people!
Maybe if we all believe hard enough, the Chicago PD gods will smile upon us. They might even throw in a few extra Burzek scenes for good measure.
Until then, happy rewatching! And may the odds be ever in your favor that next Wednesday brings us the Chicago PD goodness we crave.
Or maybe we should all just binge-watch Law & Order. Just kidding (mostly).
Alright, Chicago PD, do us a favor. Be there. Or be square. We are all waiting for you!
