Summary

Chicago Fireseason 13 is wreak a fresh Firehouse 51 despite Chief Boden ’s design , and I ’ve always known that this would chance . My initial initiation to Dick Wolf ’s franchise wasLaw & Order : SVU , so naturally , I expected the same thing when I started withWolf Entertainment ’s enlargement franchise , One Chicago . I quickly substantiate , however , that thing were unlike in the Windy City than in New York . As its flagship , Chicago Fireremains the most democratic of the 3 of task . Season 12 , however , was peculiarly difficult because of the see-through act of expiration that it experienced .

Interestingly , Chicago Fireis also the most different fromLaw & Order , because there ’s more focus on Firehouse 51 ’s relationship than its actual calls . This makes it a right ensemble , and hence why , it ’s always hard when a tenacious - sentence fiber leave of absence , have alone its leader — Eammon Walker ’s Chief Boden . fall behind him sets Kelly Severide and the respite of the squad on a difficult transition geological period when they return forChicago Fireseason 13 . As a adept leader , Boden tries to make it easier by keeping the theater in order as much as possible , only for it to be undone .

Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd are One Chicago ’s main couple , but Chicago Fire time of year 12 makes it percipient that they need to at last separate .

Why Boden Personally Chose Hermann To Be His Firehouse 51 Replacement

Hermann Is Great At Counseling People, Which Is A Big Part Of The Job

Boden ’s reign ends as Firehouse 51 ’s fearless and principled Battalion Chief when he is advance to be the new First Deputy Fire Commissioner — a role that he deserve in theChicago Fireseason 12 finis . Boden does n’t even want to leave his fire station , but he is forced to do so following a menace to the organization . He personally handpicks Christopher Hermann to take his role , which everyone in Firehouse 51 support . Boden initially wanted Severide to replace him , but he change his nous after realizing that Engine 51 CO was more suitable for the role .

It was the practiced - case scenario in an already unmanageable post for Firehouse 51 . Somehow , however , I ’ve always cognize that it will never stick . As revealed in a young report , Chicago Fireseason 13 is introducing a new lineament to exchange Boden . Tentatively named Dom Pascal , he previously serve in Miami , and is"described as a pollyannaish person who works well under pressure , and whose leadership flair disagree from Boden’s . “Casting is presently underway , but no matter of who they are work in , this realize it percipient that Hermann wo n’t be Firehouse 51 ’s fresh Battalion Chief .

Hermann Being Firehouse 51’s Next Chief Decreases The Chicago Fire Season 13 Drama

It Narrows The Good Narrative Options For Chicago Fire Season 13

intelligibly , Boden require his heir to be someone from Firehouse 51 since he knew how fast - entwine his former squad was . From a storytelling perspective , however , I was always disbelieving about whether Hermann would assume the perspective . For starters , it does n’t stupefy any material conflict that could be at the center ofChicago Fireseason 13 ’s account . Even if Hermann struggle to fill the void that Boden left ( anyone will , consider how great he was in the job ) , I and those who religiously conform to One Chicago know that it is only a thing of time before the issue is dissolve .

unluckily , Chicago Fire is best when there ’s office government ask in its usual storytelling elements , and it just wo n’t have that with Hermann well becoming the Modern Firehouse 51 Battalion Chief .

That ’s exactly what occur with Joe Cruz ’s score against Severide inChicago Fireseason 12 , which was n’t even properly resolved but just swept under the rug . Considering how beloved Hermann is , it ’s difficult to envisage anyone who would openly antagonize him , especially since Boden chose him to be his successor . alas , Chicago Fireis best when there ’s office politics involved in its usual storytelling elements , and it just wo n’t have that with Hermann easy becoming the fresh Firehouse 51 Battalion Chief .

Secondly , Hermann also gravely damage his hearing in theChicago Fireseason 12 premiere — something that he stress to enshroud from the rest of Firehouse 51 . Ultimately , he got it checked and was advised to get take heed aids . While it has n’t bothered him since then , it may have come up as he is preparing to take over Boden ’s erstwhile business , in effect preventing him from doing so .

It’s Better For Chicago Fire Season 13 To Bring In A New Firehouse 51 Chief

This Can Make Firehouse 51 Stronger

Just because Hermann is n’t Firehouse 51 ’s Battalion Chief when it return inChicago Fireseason 13 , it does n’t mean that he will never be able-bodied to fulfill the plan that Boden has for him . in person , this is a better story route than just Hermann assume his new position . At this point , it needs a central plot line that could unite the house to re - show its internal dynamic , especially considering the arriver of fresh players , includingBenny Severide ’s Logos , Jack Damon . If anything , this may lead to a much strong Firehouse 51 as they navigate something whole raw for them .
