Because I missed the rewatch for the beginning of season 3, im dropping my live reactions below for the first two episodes. Season 3 is my favorite season so very excited we're here for the rewatch. This is the season I started watching live but I don't think I caught up until like 3x06.
3x01, The Big Chill:
I really love the cut from Owen's "and we never give up ... Until hell freezes over" to the blizzard like 7 months later.
I feel like we start with the turtle people too early. The amount of screen time that passes between them discovering the kid under the ice to when TNT gets there feels waaaaaaay too long. One of the more clunky pacing issues for me.
I don't love the Paragon Blue on any of TNT 😭
The camera work on the Paragon boss saying "this company's mission is to not only provide elite care but quality comfort" as he walks in front of the mission statement on the wall is top tier. That's comedy
Ahhh I never noticed Nancy using a ginger beer substitute for TK 🥺🥺🥺 best friends
I wonder how many 126 hangs they've done since the break up. Or is this one the first one?
The LACK of PAINT on Judd's PAINTBRUSH is so funny
Just noticed: Marjan's insta handle is @ *FIRE*FOXX*
Haha I love natacha's line reading of "where it just ... Started snowing?!"
Really do love the parallel of Carlos arresting marjan like he arrested michelle
"it's important to know when a thing is over" BUT I KNOW YOU'RE DYING INSIDE
I remember being so excited for Julie Benz when she showed up in this show. But I hate what they do with her later in the season. She doesn't really give off stalker vibes in these episodes. I am very tickled by the fact that Julie Benz, Gina Torres, and later Amy Acker are all in this show. Just needed them to all share a scene for a true Angel reunion.
Love TNT briefly running into Mateo on the ice beheading scene. Their little waves to each other and the "good to see you too" is so sweet and sad
Marjan tells Billy that #firefoxx is back up to 7 million followers. What does this mean? Does she mean her Instagram followers? Why is it "back up" to that number? Why did it go down? I know theres probably a way to follow a hash tag on certain sites but shes exclusively always talking about insta. Can you do that there?
Packing ice dude's wound with snow is unsanitary, no?
Once again I am asking Lone Star to stack the bench of the 911 call center. I need to get to know more of them than just grace!!!
These veterans laughing at Carlos are so in the right. Lol sorry Carlos but lower your fucking gun please!!
"we get snow days now?" 😭😭😭😭
I love seeing Carlos going from call to call and helping people where he can
Grace drinks chamomile 😍😍😍
Making coffee with twigs??
Lol at Nancy using the almost ice decapitated man to dig for information about the Tarlos break up 😭😭😭
GOD CARLOS AND TK INTERACTING IS SO AWKWARD get me out of this hell!!!!!!!!!
I'm torn between hating the break up and knowing there's so much good fic out there that covers the break up better than the show did!!
It is really cool to see multiple firehouses coming together to help with the collapsed roof.
Judd watching Frozen in preparation for having a daughter when Charlie is still a few years away from even retaining Frozen 😭😭😭😭
The last time TK sees Carlos before he becomes a Popsicle is Carlos rushing out of the furniture store, off to an emergency Carlos barely explains. Idk why thats a matter of note but he must have been like, what the hell was that all about. and then 🥶
Paul getting buried was such a gnarly moment
For real though, we don't even make it back to the turtle people in the first episode?????? Idk, i feel like the build up to that rescue isn't necessary. It's too long of one.
3x02: Thin Ice
starting on the kid in episode 2 starts the build up over so seeing the turtle people first feels even more unnecessary.
I don't know fire fighter protocol but would it actually be okay for Mateo to stay behind at the roof collapse and not go with his house when they are called elsewhere?
I think what also makes the boy ice rescue feel so long and so unrealistic is that the close of the cold open ends with the turtle crawling over the boys face. The next time we get back to that rescue, grace picks up the 911 call from the woman who has already gone a whole block away to call from a landline. There's a disconnect in the scenes here. With the couples discovery of the boy being the first scene of the previous episode, it's unclear how much time has passed since the boy went under. She tells grace it's been at least 5 minutes since they showed up on the scene but since they split up the scenes of the boy going under and the couple showing up there's a lapse in urgency. I think this would have worked so much better if they just cut the discovery of the boy from episode 1 and just put it in 3x02 in chronological order of events. And then it cuts to TNT arriving but theres no indication of how much more time has passed. It's really kinda annoying. As an audience member all I can think about is the boy being underwater and the show taking their sweet ass time to get around to this rescue.
Every time TK says "I was a fire fighter in New York" all I hear is Britta's "I lived in New York" throughout the run of Community. 😭😭
Gahhhh and we don't even go back right back to that rescue after commercial break. Sorry ya'll I never realized how much this pacing bothers me until I decided I was gonna live blog this.
These episodes are such great Paul episodes. I feel like that gets kinda lost in all the Tarlos drama.
This girl Lindsey has such low self esteem. Her and Paul's interactions throughout this episode is such a wonderful little story of finding confidence. They should bring her back at some point so we can see her thriving!!
For once can we see TK do a cool rescue where he doesn't end up mortally injured??
It bugs me that none of these people are wearing hats or scarves or anything
I saw someone else say this on here and I apologize for forgetting who it was but it is kinda weird that these paramedics don't get TK to perform any warming techniques after that dip into the water though I suppose they all three are more concerned about the boy, which is understandable. Still ... Kinda weird to not be able to multi task as medical first responders
And still no reaction from TK's "I can relate" comment. Hes literally sitting there shaking!!! Lol
Ok like I know there are stories of people surviving drownings even though they were under for awhile. It's just the pace of this rescue stretches it out soooooo long that it seems unrealistic especially with how the kid just wakes up coughing a bit of water. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
The way you can see TK walking off in the top left corner of the screen 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Sometimes I just gotta laugh when the show has the paramedics spout off all the medical buzzwords so the audience understands what's happening. Tommy explaining the symptoms of severe hypothermia TO TK is so funny for this reason. He knows, Tommy knows, Nancy knows, so let's hop to it but only after we explain it to the audience 😭😭😭😭
I do so love this kinda angst though 😍😍😍
Funny that Paul takes his wet coat off only to then give it to Lindsey even though the point was to take off the wet clothes 😭
Lol Paul's "miss that dude" in regards to Owen is kinda funny. Kinda wish Paul said something about TNT too but he was dying so I'll let it pass
What does Judd have against chamomile tea????? That's perfect for a snowy day AND personally I think it would be great for a stressful job like being a 911 operator
Nancy immediately hugging Carlos gives me so many feels 🥺🥺🥺
Carlos coming to the hospital anyway and being all exasperated and like "mehh of course he only wants me here because he's in the icu 😤" like hes not actually worried as fuck !!!!!
"we need to find his father" BUT THEN WE BARELY GET ANY OF OWEN AT THE HOSPITAL!!!
Ugh Owen, lol

pls write something very angsty with buck from 911 where reader is an empath and could sense he was saying things behind her back so she starts pulling back from him as a coping mechanism then it's fluff at the end bc the 118 gets him in a room to talk and comfort her xx

Tumblr media
You had gathered some gear from the truck, neatly putting them back on their assigned places as the team moved upstairs to prepare dinner. Normally buck would stop by after calls, to check up with you. Since you were a medic and he a firefighter it was sometimes hard to catch up with each other durning calls. So he made it his routine to see you after.
But the last few days was different, instead of comfort you got the cold shoulder. Only a glance durning interventions followed with nothing. Not even a word.
You and Buck never made anything official. You didn't call what you two had a relationship. It was more flirting and occasionally hooking up. But still you would lie if you told him you didn't care about him. Hell you had had crush on him since the first day you started. But admitting that to him? Never.
"Are you coming Y/n? It's pasta." Hen smiled, knowing the sound of pasta would make you weak. "Pasta?" You repeated, perking your head up from behind the truck. Hen laughed at your reaction before heading back upstairs.
You finished your restock, responded quickly to Marjans text about a new relationship in the 126 that finally was confirmed and headed upstairs.
You smiled at your phone as you could physically feel her excitement through it. You were grateful for the close contact you still had with your friends in Texas, you shared everything with each other, especially if there were new couples.
With your phone still in hand you entered the kitchen. The silence was loud when you walked in. It felt like you walked into something that you weren't supposed to see. The air was uncomfortable, nerve racking to be precise. Everyone looked at you, waiting for your reaction as Buck studied your face.
It was clear.
You weren't supposed to hear what just had been discussed.
"Everything alright?" You asked hesitant, standing dead in your tracks.
Hen and Chimney shared a look before returning back to their dinner. "Everything's fine." Bobby smiled, giving Eddie some pasta before sitting down.
Now it was just you and Buck.
He looked at you. The same look he would give you durning calls. The silent look that asked if you were okay. The look filled with care. You may haven't talked to him lately but his lingering glance never went unnoticed.
You gulped, feeling too uncomfortable to take place at the table. You just walked in on them discussing you and they expect you to join them and pretend nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry Bobby, I forgot." You lied, taking a step back. "I need fo fix up my uniform, the sleeve ripped durning our last call.
"Oh don't worry about it Y/n. We can take a look at it after dinner."
"No, It's fine. I'll do it now. The bell can go off any second and imagine having to show up with a ripped sleeve." You joked uncomfortable, not waiting for a response before running off.
You hid in the locker room. A million thoughts racing through your head, trying to understand what just happened or what you did wrong.
A slight knock interrupted your thoughts. Hen peeked over Eddie's shoulder before pushing Buck in the room. "I'm sorry Y/n, but Buck has some explaining to do. " She apologised before closing the door. You were still sitting with your back to do door but you couldn't deny Buck's gaze burning in your back.
It was yet again, just you and him.
He sighed defeated, sitting on the other side of the bench. Back to back you sat in silence. His back slightly brushed against yours. You hated feeling this distanted to him. You hated feeling like a stranger.
"I'm sorry Y/n." He whispered. His voice broke with emotion. You played with your hands, trying to distract yourself. He did you dirty you reminded yourself. He physically ghosted you. How could you do that to someone you care about?
"I was asking the team for advice earlier." He admitted. "I'm sorry if that's why there was such a weird vibe in the kitchen. I never meant to make you uncomfortable."
You rolled your eyes, leaving out a sarcastic chuckle. "You never meant to make me uncomfortable?" You mocked. "You basically cut me out of your life and I had to pretend it was all good." You turned around to face him but he was already looking at you. His eyes were filled with sadness, tears on the brink of falling down.
"I-I'm sorry, Y/n. I truly am. Its just-... I never." He paused, trying to recollect his thoughts.
"I never felt this before."
"Felt what?"
"This." He pointed at you and then back to him. "The feelings I have for you are so much stronger then anything I have ever felt before, Y/n. And I-I dont think I can do it." He cried, biting his lip to try and stop the tears. But his attempt hadn't much succes.
"Buck, I don't understand."
He paused, whipping the wet stains of his cheeks. "It's me. I can't be loved Y/n. It's impossible."
You grabbed his face, tilting it up so his gaze met yours. Words almost failed you, you were thrown off guard by his confession. You thought he was mad and didn't want anything to do with you, never in a million years you thought it was because he loves you.
He leaned in your touch almost melting away in it. "Evan. You need to talk to someone."
"I know." He whispered, avoiding your gaze. It wasn't typical Buck to talk so openly about his feelings but you were so damm proud that he was trying.
"I mean it Buck. Your past is eating you away." Your thumb caressed his cheeck as your other hand brushed away some hair that had fallen in his face. "I love you, Evan. I mean it. And I'm not leaving you behind."

Paul and Marjan’s reactions when Briana kisses Caleb is so funny. Paul is disgusted but trying to be so brave about it while Marjan doesn’t try to hide. I love how she looks at him like ‘yikes ! you see this too!’

Lone Star Season 4 Thoughts: I love Season 4...mostly
With the prospect of season 5 filming beginning so soon, I've been thinking a lot about season 4 lately. I felt like rambling out some of my thoughts on here.
First, perhaps an unpopular opinion (?) but I love season 4. Sure, it has its flaws, but to me, the good far outweighs the bad. For one thing, I personally don't mind Gabriel's death. It's not what I would have chosen myself if I were writing the finale, and I think it could have benefited from a 3-5 episode arc rather than being squeezed into two already very busy episodes, but I appreciate a lot of what came with it and the potential it provides for season 5. Rafa's acting in the finale was incredible and the aftermath of Gabriel dying resulted in one of my top 10 Tarlos scenes of all time (the scene of them deciding to postpone the wedding at the beginning of 4x18) and one of my top 10 non-Tarlos scenes of all time (the Owen and Carlos scene). Season 4 also gave us the incredible soulmates scene, Lou II, lots of other excellent Tarlos scenes/episodes (4x02, 4x04, 4x08, 4x12, 4x16-18), some new love interests I really liked (Asha, Joe, and Trevor...NOT Kendra), a true showcase of Rafa's talent as an actor along with (finally!) the screen time he deserves, a Marjan storyline that wasn't perfect but had a lot of good stuff to enjoy, and a mention of the Tarlos wedding in every single episode. I enjoyed watching every episode (with the possible exception of 4x03...but even there I can find things to enjoy).
As far as the whole Iris/secret marriage storyline goes, yeah, it's not great. But I can still find a lot to appreciate within it. I love Iris, I love her friendship with Carlos (Rafa and Lyndsy sold me on their friendship with a single hospital scene in 4x03!), and I think it added fascinating elements to Carlos' backstory...like the fact that he was so lost and upset after his family's reaction to his coming out that he married a woman to try to be the man he believed they wanted and needed him to be. For the parts I don't like as much and that--let's face it, don't make much sense--I'm able to look past them or make up head canons to explain them away. (And the talented fic writers of this fandom have done a great service to help that process along...there are many great ones, but particular shout out to Where All This Love Comes From @carlos-in-glasses, which managed to make better sense of Carlos' backstory than I ever imagined possible...if you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do so ASAP). I certainly don't blame anyone who can't do this...that storyline was a mess, I can't deny that! But for me, there's enough to appreciate that it doesn't mess with my enjoyment of the season.
Aside from the secret marriage thing, I think the worst storyline of the season was the Owen/FBI storyline. The sad thing is that this one could have been ok had it been executed better. The biggest issues here were (1) too much Owen off on his own time, which is never good--Owen is at his best when he's in storylines with the other main characters--and (2) they completely failed to stick the landing. BADLY. If you're going to do a white supremacist storyline, you need to commit! Instead, they tried to throw in so many twists that they ended up trying to make us feel sympathy for and see the white supremacist gang members as victims. Yeah, not going to work for me when, in a previous episode, you told us they were literal Nazis! But ultimately I don't really care all that much about a solo Owen storyline to begin with, so it didn't affect my enjoyment of the season as a whole.
All of that said, the thing that irritated me the most about season 4 was the 8 week deadline for the wedding. The ridiculous Lone Star timeline has always been a bit of a thorn in my side, but it really got out of hand in season 4. What bothers me most is the fact that the whole 8 weeks thing is both so completely ridiculous and so completely unnecessary! It is clearly there only to slightly raise the stakes for the first few episodes of the season. It's "Oh no, they have to get married in 8 weeks, which means Carlos has to hurry up and get divorced from Iris to make the deadline, only now Iris has gone missing and she hasn't signed the divorce papers yet so they won't be able to get married!" The exact same thing could have been accomplished with an even slightly more realistic deadline--say 4 months. A 4 month deadline would have still been an incredibly short amount of time to plan a wedding and it would have still required urgency in the divorce process. And yeah, 4 months would have still been a bit unbelievable, but it would have been the ordinary tv show timeline kind of unbelievable, and it would have fit far better with the other markers of time in season 4, like the fact that it's explicitly stated that it's January in the beginning of the season and May at the end.
To make matters worse, the urgency for Iris to sign the papers--once again, the whole reason for the 8 week deadline-- isn't really even addressed after 4x02 because once Iris goes missing, her safety is the main concern. Then, once they wrap that storyline up, it is literally never mentioned again. I spent the entire season waiting for it to become an issue, but it never does. The writers essentially forget about it and spend the entire rest of the season providing dates and stating that amounts of time have passed that add up to way more than 8 weeks. It's just so RIDICULOUS and it means NOTHING!
Ok, whew, got that out. Probably no one is still reading at this point, but if you are, thank you for reading my essay and I love you 💜

Since your Lone Star answers were so great and IF you feel like it….what would you want to see for the original recipe characters?
OH BOY my initial reaction was that i might have less to say about 911 prime bc they actually get real character arcs (🙃)… but that was not the case lol
eddie is also easy i want him to have his arc about being a deeply closeted man figuring it out. comphet to having some more problems and issues to gay realization. eddie and marjan are holding hands in my minds eye. you were written gay you just don’t know it yet
hen i want to have more captain’s seat turmoil! i liked what they set up in 702 but it was resolved so quickly we didn’t really get a chance to explore it. maybe bobby is a little hurt after the cruise so we get a bit more captain hen? it’s an interesting dynamic for her, she wears it well but clearly doesn’t feel Completely at ease with it (“don’t call me cap”) so I’d love to see some breathing room around it to let it play out
ravi i swear to god if they don’t give me a ravi begins im going to do something drastic
chim I’d love to see have some conflict on the job! not with the crew but with a call or something. we see him having relationship insecurities etc bc of calls he goes on, but i feel like we haven’t seen him challenged by an emergency During that emergency in a while… idk what that means specifically but he’s an EXTREMELY competent paramedic and firefighter, i want to see what it would take to make him waver! also more girldad chim :)
karen. more of her. more karen always and forever. I don’t even care in what capacity i just want to see her on my tv
maddie I want to see get to be silly!! i want to see all of that joy and happiness she EARNED by clawing her way through her own mind, and the rest of her life. I’d love to see her get to tell off her parents (a la “love me anyway”), I’d really like to see them unforgiven. i want her and Eddie to hang out also
buck breakdown era WHEN! i know the end of last season got a little ??? which i expect is because they didn’t know if they were getting picked back up again and wanted it to feel like A Conclusion just in case, but i want buck to have a full breakdown. death and spare parts and donor not dad and in case of emergency break glass guardian. i want him to finally lose it for real. he had his shut down era now i want him to boil over :) also more uncle buck and uncle albert!!
athena i want you to have to question your morals and beliefs and I want you to get to be less of a cop gjfhdhf her begins episode makes me so mad I think she should get another one where her oaths are confronted and she gets to let herself choose humanity over law
bobby… oh boy what could we wish for. i think I want them to bring back around the blood thing, where he got a reason to keep living (and maybe parallel it with buck or smth? give him a place to land?). even if it’s not a whole storyline i want to hear where he’s at about that now!! it’s been a long time since we’ve seen him like that, i want to see him revisit what that means after everything he’s built for himself here. I would also love to see buck and bobby acknowledge the father/son dynamic to each other! buck’s said it to TK and bobby said it to may and they’ve mentioned it in a dismissive way during a half reprimand but i want them to acknowledge it for real <3 maybe get a bobby defending buck and/or maddie to the buckley parents
misc: i STILL DESPERATELY want an all-kids episode where may has everyone’s kids at her apartment while the parents are at some kind of first responders and their spouses event and they have to scooby doo a mystery by themselves, please for the love of god i need them to talk about the will again before i explode, i want eddie and karen to hang out and be best friends, more josh and maddie, hen and buck should get drunk again, i would actually also love to see more of lucy!

Inspiration weekend/ seven sentence sunday
thanks for the tag @cold-blooded-jelly-doughnut
I don't have any writing I can share at the moment (I'm working on my reverse bang fic that's due next week and I can't share anything from that before it's posted)
BUT I've fallen down an instagram algorithm inspired rabbit hole recently of American cops and their K9s (there is a dog called Radar that I've fallen in love with and his handler's name is O'Reilly! Radar O'Reilly! Like in MASH! and I encourage everyone to follow him here) and videos of them trying out different snacks with the dog and just basically filming their reaction.
Is it copaganda? Sure. But I'm not immune to a cute dog and these videos put a smile on my face - sue me.
This guy gets people from all over the WORLD to send him treats for the dog and then films his reaction. The dog wouldn't eat banana at first but this video is proof he's changed his mind. It's glorious.
Anyway, it got me thinking about a tarlos AU where Carlos is a K9 handler like this guy and a reluctant APD social media star with his dog. He made one video because his niece gave him some homemade treats for the dog, and oops it went viral and now people keep giving/sending him stuff for the dog and his captain is happy with the positive attention it's giving the department and encourages him to keep going.
Enter TK and Marjan who are bored on shift one day and come across his videos. Marjan is gushing over the dog and TK might just be a tiny bit interested in dreamy officer Reyes - but he won't admit it. Instead he just pretends it's all lame and really, he could make the same kind of videos with Buttercup.
Which he then does, with Marjan's help, and when she posts it, she tags Carlos. That starts a whose dog is cuter video challenge between them and eventually they decide to meet to do a video together. (With Owen and Carlos' captain pushing them to do so in the lead up to the annual red vs blue baseball game)
Marjan tags along and has the best day cuddling two dogs, while her idiot friend makes heart eyes at the cute cop - who makes heart eyes right back. She's considering how soon is too soon to offer her services to dog-sit for them for date nights.
When I finish my reverse bang fic, this is next on my list!

Laughing at a thought I just had. I'm not here to rehash the Marjan/Eddie cross over interaction. I know everyone had their own predictions but I think at this point we can all agree Buck was part of the reason. Especially because of the staring part. They didn't need to make him look desperate he could have just said hey I know her from Insta. Or have Eddie join for the thrill of it all. Especially now there was no way "cover my eyes the girl is naked Diaz" purely was trying to hit on her in a wild fire. But what always made me laugh, he was looking at her while the real vibe was between TK and Buck. A watered-down version of our Buddie, but yes, it was there.
So then we get it again with Taylor and Lucy. Taylor is confronting Lucy while Buck gives zero fucks because Eddie is next to him. So why I laughed. All I could picture is Taylor standing their blaming Lucy when there is a knock on her door and it's Eddie singing "It's me, Hi, I'm the problem it's me".. and honestly when the 118 has tea time they probably agree!!!
But it's honestly one of the reasons I think they will go Canon. No relationship will work. They both have a buddie shaped wall in their life another partner can't fill.. "It's me, Hi, I'm the problem it's me".
LOL Nonnie, absolutely! I mean, it was always obvious that Eddie’s whole thing in that ep was to cockblock Buck. But just in case we needed further proof of that, three weeks after the crossover aired, we got 406 in which Eddie clearly indicates he’s not ready to date again, and Bobby has to talk him into it. So if not interested in dating, why was he flirting with Marjan? Eddie “that is MY HUSBAND and the father of MY CHILD” Diaz was initially just soooo jealous, there’s literally no other explanation. The whole thing is built not around Eddie seeing how pretty or badass Marjan is and wanting to join her team, it’s literally around Buck noticing her and Eddie’s reaction to that prompting him to stalk over and find a way to be paired with her. But Eddie is so soft for Buck, the sec he's reminded she’s not a threat by looking at pics of what he and Buck built together for their son, he changes to, “You’re not following him back on your social media, you don’t understand, he’s just a tiny pup, please don’t do that to my hubby,” and sincerely, that moment when he chooses Buck’s joy is so underrated. Eddie is THAT whipped.
And yes, I died during that bit in 516 where our worried Buck looks over and literally chooses just a casual conversation with Eddie over stopping whatever disaster may arise from Taylor and Lucy chatting. Buck basically told us his real priorities would always include Eddie (and Chris) over anyone and anything else. They both choose each other and will forever do so, and yep, no other romantic partner can win over that. It’s why I said time and again, they SHOULD go canon. No other endgame would satisfy the viewers, no other ending would be true to their story so far.
Thank you for the lovely ask, have a great day! And as always, here is my ask tag. xoxox

I have so many thoughts on 4x08 and I still haven’t gathered them all. What I will say is that it may be one of may absolute favorites of all time. I loved pretty much everything about it. I loved the Andrea/Owen duo. I loved that we got some acknowledgment about how Gabriel and Andrea hurt Carlos when he came out even if it was only from Andrea. I loved the adorable Tarlos scenes. That moment when they step out holding hands in their tuxes. I’m so glad that it was the opening scene. I also love the scene where they’re eating lunch at the firehouse. The domesticity of it even though they’re not even at home. Casually switching meals bc it’s something they always do. I love how Carlos casually mentioning his two sisters sent people into a tailspin. Tbh I kind of suspected it so I wasn’t all that surprised. It always jived with his character for me just as much as TK having been an only child does for him. I just enjoyed seeing people’s reaction to it lol.  Most of all, I loved the scene with Owen and TK at the end. Of course people are already making comments about TK calling Owen an amazing father but you know what? It doesn’t matter. What matters is what TK thinks. And not only does TK see his dad as amazing, he also sees his dad as his best friend. I have so much to say about Owen in this episode but for now I’ll just say that I hope that now that the line of communication has been reopened between them, we can see some of the s1 dynamic return. 
I also loved Marjan’s parts. This woman is so amazing in so many ways. Yes she’s badass but she’s also so kind and so dedicated to helping others that she didn’t even think twice about putting herself in a dangerous situation in order to help that girl get out away from her abusive relationship. She was so quick to return the hug the girl pulled her in. I loved how there was such a “women supporting other women” vibe to it with that other lady at the diner immediately agreeing to help. And then when the girl declined help, Marjan still didn’t stop. She kicked that bastard’s ass and stood by to make sure he would be arrested. I feel like her parts in this episode were the perfect segue into the next one which will be about her journey.

Natacha has said before that it's joint collaboration between her and wardrobe on how to dress Marjan. For an example she picked out Marjans gorgeous wedding outfit and wardrobe approved, so I guess they each bring out potential outfits and they pick together. I would kill for Natacha doing some kind of vid tour on set so we can see them work their magic 🩷
[in response to my post here]
I thought I had heard something along those lines ages ago about Natacha and the wardrobe! I think that's so cool when actors get to collaborate on their character in that way. I think Ronen said something previously about the 252 medallion being something he had requested after learning about that being a big thing among firefighters (and that medallion is so intrinsically tied to TK as a character for me). The cross necklace Rafael started to wear for Carlos in s3 I think was a similar situation. I just love shows allowing the actors that kind of input and creative freedom.
Truly though, I need a full on MTV cribs style tour of Natacha's personal wardrobe. A lot of celebrities have youtube channels these days, right? Someone get her hip to that. And also yet again, I'm out here crying about the death of the DVD boxsets because Natacha going behind the scenes with the wardrobe department would have made a killer featurette I'm just sayinnnn.
Since I don't have a good Paul reaction gif for this, have a sneak peak at the Marjan outfit set that got me posting about this in the first place:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like this looks so fucking comfy but also cool and stylish?? I would like to look fly while also being comfortable. someone needs to help your girl out and tell me where to get cool track suits like this!!

So I’m not someone who thinks Carlos’s character was “ruined” by season 4… but I do also think that if we’re going to talk about how the season added depth and nuance to his character it also needs to be addressed that it was done in a way in which he was given flaws and made mistakes while not growing or learning from them. He was still hiding things and lying in the very last episode of the season and he had no consequences for any of his mistakes this season (unless you want to count now having a lizard son as a peace offering after not communicating properly 😂). And my complaint about this is 100% aimed at the writing, not the character. I loved that they gave him plots and screen time and flaws and depth and friends outside of TK and more background with his family… but he didn’t show growth as a result of those flaws at all and that bothers me.
so yeah like, i think a lot of this comes from the fact they made this the carlos season (no complaints sjfnskdn) and kind of overlayed tons of issues in one condensed season. but if you think about things like the deflection, the jokes, etc…these are all trauma responses that have been there since what? early season two? and do i think they should’ve shown him maybe having a chat with tk where he apologizes for lying? yeah. there were many moments where they could’ve shown them talking, but we’ve accepted that they have lives off-screen and talk off-screen as they have for the duration of the show. episode three alone, carlos says that they talked about giving iris time. we didn’t see that, but we go off that as the foundation for both of their reactions to iris going missing again. i also think the scenes we did get with them communicating (end of 4x02, 4x12, 4x16 etc etc) show that they’ve grown in that department, and even if it isn’t happening on screen……..it is happening. he’s initiated his fair share of the conversations. the process of growth is non-linear and we might have to sit with the uncomfortable humanness of it all. i really don’t know.
i can say that i have my own problems with the writing this season. i agree a lot of this happened all at once, and that the iris storyline was rushed, and even some non-tarlos storylines were a little sloppy, but i can also say that i enjoyed the way that grief on this show is not linear, recovery on this show is not linear, grappling with trauma is not linear. learning from past mistakes is not something that’s easily said and done. we see this in tk we see this in marjan we see this in paul we see this in judd we see this in tommy we see this in grace we see this in owen and we see this in carlos. we never on-screen saw carlos’ trauma as it happened pre-show, but we’re seeing it naturally come out as he’s grown comfortable in his life. but i still focus on the enjoyment the show brings me.
re the finale…..i think it does fit in character, and maybe that’s annoying!!! maybe that’s something they’ll deal with next season!!!! but him not telling tk because he’s literally become consumed by his grief over hearing his father die over the phone and his mother’s screams and finding out he’s been murdered….idk like he’s acting human. he doesn’t want to hurt anyone else further and sees himself as nothing but a vessel of anger and desire for revenge (again…something i think they could and should touch on next season). he acted similarly in 3x11 after he and grace were used as weapons. and tk being the one to see this in him and carlos coming home to him afterward and talking it through brings the humanity back. i agree with the points being made in general (not just you anon) about him acting violently in the finale but i also cannot blame him because he is so shrouded in grief and i think we can give him some leeway for distancing himself from tk and not wanting to talk about things. that’ll likely be touched on next season. maybe i’ll be proven wrong and it won’t be but….idk. it’s just how i could give tk some leeway for wanting to steal fentanyl from his workplace after his mom died and not telling carlos or his dad the truth until he and his dad are literally potentially facing death in a depressurized airplane. grief acts in mysterious ways and grief is such a singular, personal experience that i can’t find myself upset about a lack of growth when the whole season he was acting out of responses to pre-show trauma and the end of the season he’s faced with such a brutality. just let them all take a nap in season 5 ajdnskdns

Hi. Hope you are well. First of all, I love your blog and thank you for sharing your wonderful fics with us!❤️
Now, I know I’m really late to this party but I just watched all of LS episodes and can’t believe how quickly I got hooked up but damn…! Season 4 really did a number on this fandom, especially with how they handled 90% of Tarlos’ plotlines. Seems they love treating their audience as complete idiots, despite completely justified wtf reactions to some of their ideas. Then again, I feel like this fandom is hardly any better at times, judging by some of the discourses I came across… But maybe I’ve just been unlucky? You seem like a lovely person, after all.
How do you feel about season 4 and LS in general now? I might be wrong but it seems to me like you weren’t last season’s biggest fan?
hi lovely! thank you for the message, i don't get to chat with people enough anymore! 💚
so, i have drifted from lone star a lot recently and at the moment i'm not sure if i'm going to watch the next series. i've also had some not so great experiences in the fandom - though i have to heavily stress that the good far outweigh the bad. i have met some truly lovely people here who i have a lot of love for and certain incidents don't spoil that. but i digress.
i can't deny that lone star has had a huge impact on my life and it definitely still has a place in my heart. season four... if i were to rank all the seasons, it would come third. there were some great moments - marjan's episode, the wedding (ofc), the tarlos huntington's convo... - and then there were some not so great moments. i wasn't its biggest fan but i don't think i'm one of its biggest detractors either.
my main complaint was the marriage plotline (carlos and iris, not tarlos). i know they said they'd been planning it since season 1, but even if that was true, so many things have happened in the show since then that it just didn't make sense. i'm also in the camp of this is carlos lying to tk by omission. it for sure left a sour taste in my mouth, and the worst part about it for me is that it didn't even matter anyway. it was all just to cause a little drama between tarlos before it was written off
(i know lone star likes to fudge timelines but come on. there's no way all the events of season 4 happened within eight weeks.)
i also disagreed with gabriel's death. again, it just felt like they decided to put another obstacle before the wedding and went for the most extreme end of the scale. i am aware the same sort of thing could be argued for gwyn's death - i personally don't lean that way, but i totally get it if you do.
tl;dr: no, i'm not a huge fan of last season but it does have some good moments
how do you feel about season 4?

Friendships & Found Family w/126
I may be alone in this thoughts, but I always found the reactions of the 126 weird when Tim died. I can understand losing a teammate, but what I always found weird, even now, was just how devastated everyone was.
We saw the 126 completely devastated that Tim was killed on duty, but the way they were acting was a little strange to me. We have never seen anyone, sans Nancy interact with Tim besides on a call. The only time we saw was them speaking to him was before he died. Then when he passed, we saw how everyone was feeling, and while it is fair, they were acting like an old friend, a beloved teammate passed away when it seems like they were mere acquaintances.
Nancy was the one who told the team that he had a cat, where he was from, that he had family out of state. They (and we) did not know any of this. The firefighters of the 126 never made an effort to get to know the paramedic team until after Tim died.
I wonder if they ever made an effort to include the paramedic team when Michelle was captain. Would they have ever interacted with Nancy outside of the team if Carlos had not said anything to TK about how they are treating Nancy?
Tim passed 2x02, and TK became a paramedic in 2x06 and talked to Carlos about Nancy in 2x07. This means that there were 5 episodes where the team could have included Nancy and honored Tim, but they didn't. It wasn't until Carlos pointed out the unfair treatment to Nancy (and previously Tim) is when they had a change of heart.
I'm sitting here wondering how long it would have been before any of the firefighters of the 126 would have interacted with Nancy if TK hadn't joined the medical side. Would have been even longer if Carlos had never said anything?
I know it's just the pacing of the show, but many times, members of the 126 says that they are each other best friend, but we don't see that on screen that often.
I normally don't like to compare OG with LS, but we have seen how Chim and Hen are best friends, straight from the get-go, we've seen how close they are. And it may be because they are from different parts of the country, but it's four seasons in and we still don't see this. An example is Paul and Marjan, they are best friends and I believe they are because we have seen it on screen.
When Marjan was saying goodbye to everyone when she left to 'find herself' (I hate using that phrase ever since A**y from OG), I understood why Paul and Mateo were sad, we've seen how Marjan is their best friend, but we don't see Nancy and Marjan interact (besides lounging at the station) all that often so I was confused when Nancy was just as sad as Paul and Mateo.
This is a constant (small but still) problems with LS. As much as I love watching it, I sometimes can't overlook the continuity errors when it comes to friendships. We've seen time and time again in OG how important friendships and found family is in their line of work, but we don't see that in LS. Sure we see them hang out after work and at gatherings like game night at the Tarloft, but it's not really cementing that they are a found family, that they are friends outside of work. Sure they banter and poke fun at each other, but to an outsider, it looks nothing more than work friends. I know the scenes at the Tarloft and at Owen's house are supposed to show us that they are a family in and out of work, but it doesn't seem to work most of the time. Another example is Nancy and Mateo. We know they are an established couple, but the writers aren't doing anything to show they are a couple. If it wasn't shown, when they got together, I never would have guessed they were a couple. And even now, they don't seem compatible.
TL-DR: The 126 says that they are all part of the same family, but despite what we have seen on screen, it doesn't seem that way. Some of the reactions that the 126 had when Tim passed didn't make sense to me. ______________________
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK This was not meant to bash any one character or another, this is merely my opinion on what I have seen on LS. If you or someone else sees it differently then that's completely fine. This is just what I think when thinking objectively about Friends and Found Family from 9-1-1 Lone Star compared to 9-1-1 OG.

Andie I have a very serious and important question for you. what the fuck are you putting in your fics???? It is currently 3:44am and I've been up since 8 but what am I doing? Crying as I read the end of Magnetic North that's what
The thing about me and sports fics is that I know absolutely nothing about sports except for 1 of them so usually they end up in my "Marked for later" for a while. But this is like the third time I've read a sports fic after putting it off to immediately questioning every decision I have ever made
I binged this fic like a fucking maniac but there was a logical part of me that was like "please...the assignment you've been procrastinating for 2 weeks is due tomorrow..." so I forced myself to put it down and go to sleep. That was yesterday. I brought my work with me from downstairs at 1am because "if I'm not gonna be able to sleep might as well finish this and then read Magnetic North the rest of the night" WELL I JUST FINISHED THE FIC AND I'M LITERALLY TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF MY THOUGHTS AND IT IS NOT WORKING-
Coherency...I know how to do that yes. Starting and ending it with Marjan's article was SUCH a nice touch I loved the way she wrote about them!
Also everyone who has ever been mean to TK can line up in an abandoned parking lot...You don't hurt my boy <3 :) . HIS GROWTH??? THAT'S MY POOKIE I'M SO FUCKING PROUD OF HIM??? Picking him up and parting his head as we speak. No but seriously he's so awesome and he's been hurt so much but all he really wants is love 😭. NOW YOU GET TO HAVE SO MUCH OF IT BABY!!! Watching him slowly accept the love and care from others was beautiful. I fucking love fics where a character heals. HIM CHOOSING HIMSELF HELL YEAH YOU GOT THIS! Carlos saying how TK looked healthier and Marjan too!! YES MY BOY IS IN HIS LOVER ERA AND I'M SO SO HERE FOR IT! I am starting to sound like a broken record but he genuinely fills me with so much pride and he's not even real 😭. THE REHABILITATION CENTER!! and he named it after Gwen...I'm so okay about this...
Carlos...where do I even start. I need to hug him let's start there. It broke my heart so badly when he didn't even get the chance to come out on his own terms. That is such a real fear and I honestly saw a part of myself in it. The "questioning everything you do in case someone suspects" If I ever find out who that photographer was...Gabriel won't be the only one who will need an alibi 🩷 NO OF COURSE I'm not bringing knives now that would be absurd wouldn't it? /sarc. He deserves all the love and acceptance actually. I loved the scene where he goes to the ranch after he was outed it was so healing for both Carlos and I actually that's my projection guy ✌️💕. Jkjk. TK commenting how much happier and freer Carlos was...sobbing into my pillow oh my god I'm so proud of him. AND HE WON THAT BIG CHAMPIONSHIP WHATEVER I TOLD YOU IDK SPORTS!
These fuckers got engaged what the fuck is wrong with them I hate them so much no I'm not crying! /lh. The kiss at the parade oh my god I will literally never ever recover from this fic Andie you have broken me. I will never once again be a normal human. I still think about The Firehouse like 23 times a day now Magnetic North will join too
So I did actually end up watching some random hockey highlights so I would have some idea as to what's going on and also oh you used real team players that's cool!! Did not know those people existed in real life but good to know. Now I can say I've read fanfiction with NHL players /j. Okay but srsly the team was absolutely AMAZING!! The way they're all such a family! How supportive they were of Tarlos! Kissing them all on the head (the fictional ones idk about the real ones)!
Okay WOW this got long. There's a reason I typed this in my notes app first. Imma attach my real time reaction to the parking lot kiss here
I am in the car (love being a gay) and I just read the parking lot kiss and my anxiety SPIKED because I was like "no no no they're gonna get outed oh my god NOOOO" TEARS IN MY EYES READING NANCY CALLING THEM UP AND TELLING THEM TO CHECK TWITTER!!! I want that photographer to meet me in an abandoned lot...NO I'M NOT BRINGING KNIVES WHY WOULD YOU EVEN INSINUATE THAT- /sarc (last part)
I have a question! You must be really familiar with Hockey to write this fic. Do you play? /gen
Okay now I will sleep because I'm genuinely very tired. If this doesn't make sense blame it on the fact that I've been up for way too long. I loved this fic Andie, like and insane amount. It's all so beautiful and well rounded and I was so enthralled by it, it's crazy. Thank you for this fic, you're awesome!
All the tone tags I used: (I just have really bad anxiety and don't want anything to be misinterpreted so!)
/sarc: sarcasm
/lh: light-hearted
/j: joking
/gen: genuine
I am a little bit speechless about this 🥺🥺 thank you so so so much, I’m so happy you liked it!! Thank you for taking the time to send this to me, I’m swooning 🤩 and I played a lot of street hockey as a kid but never was on a team or anything, I just watch it a lot!
