Most Memorable Scene: Marjan talking to Mateo about his tattoo (9-1-1: Lone Star)

From the first episode and on, 9-1-1: Lone Star continues to be a really good show. I like that it has a different feel from the original 9-1-1 series and the show gets to do more with the storytelling.

However, one thing I'm so glad the Showrunner and writers dropped was that fourth season storyline where it seemed like Mateo Chavez might have romantic feelings for Marjan Marwani. Because up until that point Mateo had been shown to be nothing more than like a little brother to Marjan and definitely not a potential love interest. I think his relationship with Nancy Gillian may have been unexpected but they surprisingly work. They're just so cute and adorably weird together.

Anyway, back to the point of the post, I really love this scene between Marjan and Mateo in the episode Difficult Conversations (season 2 episode 5). Mateo has dyslexia which is a learning disability that at times can make it difficult with words and reading for him. He had got a tattoo based on a design he created but due to his dyslexia he accidentally mixed up the words and used angle instead of angel. Marjan being the good friend that she is, needed to tell him the truth. She didn't want to hurt his feelings but he needed to be told about his tattoo. It's been a while since I watched this episode but I do believe they went back to that tattoo shop (or perhaps another one) and they corrected Mateo's tattoo.

Marjan continues to prove what a good friend she is. 😊 #911LoneStar pic.twitter.com/5SsDgRTrEe

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: Owen interviewing firefighters for the 126

I really like this scene from the first season pilot. It shows newly hired Fire Captain Owen Strand and his son Tyler "T.K." interviewing firefighters (Paul Strickland, Marjan Marwani and Mateo Chavez) for the 126. I love that from the begining you got to see who they were.

Paul the inquistive detective, Marjan the daredevil and Mateo the endearing optimist. They each brought something special to the team including Judson "Judd" Ryder who at this point wasn't quite ready to return to active duty. Especially after being the sole survivor after the original 126 firefighters died in a raging fire.

Quote: Nancy Gillian, Fundraiser Donor Guy and Mateo Chavez (9-1-1: Lone Star)

It's 9-1-1: Lone Star Tuesday. And I'm still surprised how Nancy Gillian and Mateo Chavez's relationship had totally grown on me. I went from feeling like "why are they together?" to they are quickly becoming one of my favorite couples. I just find them to be quirky, weird and adorable.

For the scene below, I wonder how much the Fundraiser Donor Guy was going to donate to the Stand Up to Cancer charity because Mateo's comment comparing the wine to reading books by Dostoyevsky really sold the guy into wanting to make a donation.

Nancy: Fun fact, this was actually donated by the oldest winery in the Hill Country.

Fundraiser Donor Guy: The Hill Country? But it's so nuanced, so mature.

Mateo: Familiar, yet unexpected. It's kinda like reading Dostoyevsky in the original Russian.

Fundraiser Donor Guy: Yes, exactly that. What did you say your name was?

Mateo: Mateo

Fundraiser Donor Guy: Mateo. Your palate is inspired. I'll be right back. My wife has my checkbook.

Nancy: Babe? You read Dostoyevsky? I love Dostoyevsky. How have we not discussed this?

Mateo: Oh, because I don't. I heard Cap say that last week while he was sipping Moscato. I thought it sounded good.

Nancy: Oh.

It's 9-1-1: Lone Star Tuesday and I wanted to post this Most Memorable Scene from the episode Tongues Out (season 4 episode 14). I love this scene because Paul Strickland was going to find out who ate his snack. In the first season Pilot episode, it was shown that Paul was good at picking up on clues and solving mysteries which helped him catch an arsonist who was still at the scene of a fire.

Throughout the series, Paul has used his detective skills every now and then. Most recently in the episode Tongues Out where Paul used his skills twice. First to solve the infamous Pudding Cup Mystery and the second to figure out who killed Fire Captain Owen Strand's girlfriend Kendra's husband since Kendra was the prime suspect.

As a mystery fan, I love that Paul maybe a firefighter but his detective skills are unmatched. Also, the quote for this scene is below.

On 9-1-1: Lone Star, Are Nancy and Mateo Going to Break Up?

I loved this week's 9-1-1: Lone Star episode Road Kill. From the writing to the storyline to the acting to the directing, absolutely everything about this episode was fantastic. But I do have a question about Nancy Gillian and Mateo Chavez, what is going on with them? Just when their relationship is slowly starting to grow on me, there's a chance that they might be heading for a break up. It's hard to overlook how the writing for this episode had Mateo being extremely worried about Marjan Marwani. Which is understandable but there seemed to be more to it than just that. Because all the characters were worried that something bad must have happened to her when Marjan still hadn't arrived back in Austin, TX when she was supposed to.

Most Memorable Scene: Evan Buckley and TK Strand

9-1-1 returns next Monday but until then, it's still 9-1-1 Monday. I love the first crossover between 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star (don't forget there's a new episode on tomorrow) in the Lone Star episode Hold the Line (season 2 episode 3). It had Henrietta "Hen" Wilson, Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley along with other firefighters from the 118 traveled from Los Angeles, CA to Austin, TX to help put out wild fires.

There was a lot of interesting things that happened in that episode. Hen and Fire Captain Owen Strand's helicopter crashed down in the middle of the fire and they had to take cover in an old mine to try to survive. Not to mention, Owen had been hallucinating throughout the episode seeing dead paramedic Tim Rosewater. As for the rest of the characters, Eddie was working with Paul Strickland, Judd Ryder and Marjan Marwani helping to locate stranded at-risk teens and their counselor who were trapped out in the woods. Buck was working with Mateo Chavez and T.K. Strand digging ditches to cut the fire off. This also had Buck nearly being hit by a car that a dog caused. And to top it all off, Buck and T.K. were going to steal a fire truck to try to save Hen and Owen but to their surprise the rest of the crew (Eddie, Paul, Judd, Marjan and Mateo) joined them.

As I said, there was a lot happening in this episode. However, for this Most Memorable Scene, I went with this iconic scene with T.K. and Buck. Did Buck not realize what he was saying made it seem like he was hitting on T.K.? Do you ever think about how T.K. clearly thought Buck was hitting on him? What I found interesting is that Buck didn’t correct him or deny it. But what was also interesting is just when it seemed like Buck was going to possibly try to correct T.K., T.K. exited the scene and then walks in Eddie. That's a very interesting way to frame that scene.

Trailer for tonight's episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star: Parental Guidance

Last Monday's 9-1-1: Lone Star episode The Bird was so good with Paul Strickland dealing with a serious health problem and how it will affect both his life and his job. According to the description for tonight's episode, it looks like Paul is still dealing with it. I wonder how sad and depressed he may be and if he will be able to see the surgery as a second chance at life. I know Paul said he would rather die than have that surgery which he ended up having to get after he nearly died. He was so upset and he took it out on his best friend Marjan Marwani because he probably felt that she could have done something to prevent him getting the surgery. However, I highly doubt she could have stopped it especially since he didn't have anything in writing to prevent it. It will be interesting to see how this will affect their friendship going forward.

Also for tonight's episode Parental Guidance, it's good to see Mateo Chavez getting an interesting storyline where he's concerned about his temporary yet former Captain. I am interested in knowing what promotion he's being offered. Total side note, the description for the last Monday's episode stated that Tommy Vega was going on a date which was never shown. Either that part of the description was mistakenly added on because it's for another episode or the scenes were cut and possibly will be added on to a later episode. Who knows but I had been looking forward to seeing it, although, I don't think Tommy is ready for a new love especially since she's still grieving her husband.

Anyway, I can't wait to see tonight's episode. It looks like another good one.
