Most Memorable Scene: The 126 Save a Sex Doll (9-1-1: Lone Star)

Happy Tuesday! Sorry for being gone for a while, I've been dealing with a cold. But I feel so much better now.

Anyway, I feel like 9-1-1: Lone Star could use a little more appreciation. I really like this show, it has a good blend of action, drama and comedy along with a lot of heart. Yes, at time it can be zany. Such as in this Most Memorable Scene from the episode Cry Wolf (season 4 episode 3), when the 126 firefighters and paramedics rescued and provided medical care to a sex doll that had fallen over a cliff. The doll belonged to a guy who had mental issues and he was very distraught due to the doll falling or as he said jumping over the cliff. But the thing is the 126 still went through the process of doing their jobs despite the situation. Because to that guy, the doll was a real person, and they were there to help. And in this case, helping a guy fully let go of his "girlfriend" and move on with his life.

Not to go unnoticed is that this is all taking place while police officer Carlos Reyes' wife (on paper) Iris Blake had gone missing. So he showed up at the scene believing that the "woman" who went over the cliff may have been Iris. It's a good thing Detective Grier showed up to the scene or Carlos would have let his emotions cause him to do something he would regret. Because abusing your power of authority is never a good thing especially in his line of work.

Most Memorable Scene: Marjan getting the 126 to help Mateo pass his exams (9-1-1: Lone Star)

It's 9-1-1 Monday, and I thought I'd focus on 9-1-1: Lone Star. I love this scene from the first season sixth episode Friends Like These because they were a new team and were still in the process of getting to know each other. But when there's a problem they were all willing to help. For instance, Marjan Marwani realizing that probationary fire fighter Mateo Chavez was having difficulty passing his exams due to a learning disability (he has dyslexia) and got the team to help.

Although there was a little bit of grumbling at first from Judd Ryder and Paul Strickland but what I like is that despite that, they all were willing to help. Especially once those two found out about Mateo's learning disability. This was something that none of them didn't have to do but it showed just how compassionate the entire team was and that they wanted to make sure that Mateo finally passed his exams. They could have easily been thoughtless and selfish and said it was Mateo's problem and not bothered to help. Which is why I'm glad these characters are not written like that instead they are kind and caring and a little zany which makes them such fun characters.

Okay, total side note, I am so glad they stopped using that gray filter for the show because it made everything looked cold and washed out.

What do you think of the Judd, Grace and Wyatt Storyline on 9-1-1: Lone Star?

Okay 9-1-1: Lone Star fans, I was wondering what do you think about the Wyatt and Judd and Grace storyline? I'm happy Judd and Grace Ryder are getting more screen time and I think Judd's newly discovered son Wyatt is such a kind and sweet teen but I can't help wondering if Judd really is his father? There was a vague mention of Judd's brother when Judd was talking to Tommy Vega about how he met Wyatt's mother Marlene. From Judd's story, he said him and his brother had went to a bar and that's how he met Marlene, they were all drinking and who's to say that Judd's brother and Marlene didn't also have a moment as well.

Wyatt said he found his connected to Judd from a genealogy map but siblings also share DNA which is why Judd and Wyatt should still do a DNA test to be completely sure Judd is his father and not his brother being the father. I just found it interesting that Judd even mentioned his brother and it just made me think why mention him if the writers are not going to bring it up again at a later point.

I love the growing connection between Grace, Judd and Wyatt which is why I think it needs to be truly determined if Wyatt is Judd's son because this family bond that's building between them is something that I'm really enjoying. I really am interested in seeing where this story will go.
