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.

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.

Most Memorable Scene and Quote: The Pudding Cup Mystery (9-1-1: Lone Star)


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.
