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.

Art of the Day: T.K. and Carlos

Happy 9-1-1: Lone Star Tuesday!

I really like this artwork, it's based on the bar scene from the first season pilot episode. And the quote is from the fourth season 16th episode A House Divided.

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.

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.

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.

Most Memorable Scene: Carlos giving T.K. good advice (9-1-1: Lone Star)

I love this scene in the 9-1-1: Lone Star 2nd season 7th episode Displaced where Carlos Reyes holds his boyfriend Tyler Kennedy "T.K." Strand while T.K. talks about how he somehow got on his Paramedic co-worker Nancy Gillian's bad side at work. T.K. had recently become a Paramedic after transferring over from being a Firefighter and at the time, I don't think he realized he was giving Nancy a bad first impression.

Because to Nancy it seemed like T.K. was trying to impress their Paramedic Captain Tommy Vegas and bonding with her which made Nancy feel like she was being pushed aside and slighted. It really didn't seem like he was being a team player which wasn't T.K.'s intention, he just didn't realize he was doing that. I like that Carlos gave T.K. some good advice to make him see things from Nancy's perspective and to see how he was making her feel.

Total side note, I love how these two dorks take turns holding each other. It's really sweet.

Quote: Gwyn Morgan and T.K. Strand (9-1-1: Lone Star)


Gwyn: My sweet boy. I’ve traveled with you as far as I can. The next steps you take are yours.

T.K.: I don’t know if I can do it without you.

Gwyn: You can. You are stronger than you know. I’ll always be with you.

Most Memorable Scene: Carlos and T.K. and a Missing Lizard (9-1-1: Lone Star)

I really enjoyed watching Monday's 9-1-1: Lone Star episode Down to Clown, especially the scenes once T.K. Strand brought home an alligator lizard after an emergency call. He decided to make the little thing his pet and called it Lou. Too bad his boyfriend Carlos Reyes isn't that fond of the little creature and to make matters worse (for Carlos), Lou got out of the aquarium and was loose in their apartment. This was a funny scene because as soon as TK realized Lou was missing why didn't he say something especially once it was on Carlos.

Why do you think Carlos and T.K. broke up on 9-1-1: Lone Star?

Before a new episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star airs tonight, I was wondering if you had any thoughts as to why Carlos Reyes and T.K. Strand broke up? The first episode of this third season, The Big Chill revealed that the fan favorite couple had broken up. I'm sure at some point, viewers will find out why but until then I wanted to know what you thought about it.

I have three theories, the first is Carlos proposed and for some reason T.K. turned him down and then broke up with him. Although, T.K. loves Carlos, he's not sure he ever wants to get married and broke up with Carlos because he didn't want him to have to settle for a relationship where he won't get everything he wants out of it.

My second theory is that the trauma from the house fire might have caused them to distance themselves from each other instead of talking to each other. More so from T.K. than from Carlos. Although they both nearly died in that fire and they lost everything they owned as well. I feel like the fire coupled with the 126 fire station being shutdown might have been a bigger distance inducing factor for T.K. causing him to get scared about the future making him want to end things with Carlos because he felt like he couldn't deal with everything including being in a relationship.

My third theory is that after Fire Captain Owen Strand knocked out Billy Tyson after he announced that the 126 fire station was being shut down that when Billy came to he wanted Owen arrested and charged. And since Carlos although off duty was on the scene, he unfortunately had to arrest Owen and that caused an issue between Carlos and T.K. resulting in them breaking up.

Well these are just my theories, what are yours?
