Most Memorable Scene: 9-1-1 Emergency Call for a Woman who was hit by a Meteorite

With 9-1-1 returning in less than a month I want to post another memorable scene. This one is from the third season ninth episode Fallout where the emergency call had them helping Olivia who was hit by a meteorite. I can't believe she was fused to the couch and they had to cut through it so they could transport her (and the couch) to the hospital. I always found it interesting that Evan "Buck" Buckley has a love of random facts and information but he has a lack of understanding pop culture references. I can't believe he didn't get that Indiana Jones reference "it belongs in a museum" that Howard "Chimney" Han said to him.

It's been shown throughout the series that both Buck and his older sister Maddie don't understand pop culture references. I always wondered if growing up they weren't allowed to watch TV or their parents only gave them one hour a day to watch it. Because that's the only thing I can think of for why they didn't seem to get a lot of pop culture references. But I also found it interesting that the pop culture references Buck does understand, he seems to get something wrong about them.

For instance, in the fifth season first episode Panic he was describing the christening scene from the movie The Godfather and said it happened in the beginning of the movie but was corrected by Captain Robert "Bobby" Nash that the scene happened at the end of the movie. The same thing happened in the first season 10th episode A Whole New You when Buck gave a reference to Jurassic Park when he said to Bobby, who was trying to get back into dating, "It is literally like you were frozen in ember in 1995". Bobby also corrected him again because Buck said ember instead of amber.

I guess Buck might know a lot of random facts and information but pop culture references still elude him.
