#911 lone star 2x13

[fangirling-paradise]

Doing a rewatch of 911: Lone Star & I'm on episode 13 of Season 2. The scene where Tommy tries to convince the man to say goodbye to his son, in a coma, & to leave the hospital peacefully. It got me thinking. Owen was in that scene and next season, just a few episodes later, he would be faced with the reality of TK, his own son, dying.

The scene this shot is from ⬆️ was, unfortunately, cut from 3x04. So, we have no idea what Owen did or said in this scene. The scene that I mentioned above, from 2x13, gave me an idea. What if the doctors told Owen to prepare for TK's passing (which they kind of did as we find out when he talks to Carlos & the rest of the 126) & that he should say his goodbyes. If any 911: LS fanfiction writers are looking for a prompt, here it is. What if Owen talked to TK while he was in a coma during the ice storm? He lets TK know that he's here, apologize for not being in Austin, etc...but also his goodbyes. If anyone writes this, PLEASE TAG ME!

okay so re: all the Carlos angst from the 2x12 fire, do you think that because of the guilt he feels, he starts pulling away from tk and tk internalizes that?

Absolutely. He’s still learning how to talk about his feelings when he’s hurting, he’s still not very good at it yet, so he would definitely respond to all that hurt and guilt and grief by pulling away for a time.

[im-overstimulated-and-im-sad]

Disorganized thoughts about season 2 of 911 lone star after I watched the finale that I need to put somewhere and the first season of lone star the season finale made me feel so happy and it was such good found family feels and the last three episodes of season 2 of lone star made me feel like this

Not the gif I was going for but I like knives out and it works.

And I figured out why so much of the fic for lone star has a publication date of 2020, which means it was written after or literally while the first season is airing. And the first season is ten episodes long, but they came out of the gate with so many fleshed out characters and potential in those ten episodes!

Sorry getting back to season 2- the first half of the season was good. Tommy kicks so much ass as a character, like I would say the first season is 85% perfect but Tommy is such an amazing character that I wish she could have been in season 1.

And I liked Gwyn, and it doesn’t happen a lot and yes I know it’s all fake but when you look at two characters and it’s like yes I can believe those two people created that person, like damn the resemblance between Lisa/Ronen/Rob is almost freaky it’s so good. I did not love the pregnancy storyline that was kind of a really? They’re doing this? Like I felt like actually having the baby was a mistake- they pointed out she is older for having a child and there are risks, she could have miscarried and then done the whole “we were just together because we thought we were having a baby and this may be your home now but it isn’t mine” or some shit. (I haven’t started the third season yet but I spoil things for myself so I know they kill Gwyn off which WHY- but also then why did they go through the she a has a baby storyline within someone else to kill her off? It’s just… messy.

TK becoming a paramedic- good development. The kidnapping plot and the Judd/Grace episode were all good and the team throwing the birthday party for the little boy who had no friends and TK throwing the intervention for Owen and the entire team discussing Owen while in a call forgetting he can HEAR them- all good!

And then everything came to a screeching halt.

Like I feel the Tarlos condo burning down after the 126 was sabotaged would have been good ideas… if they hadn’t inadvertently been Owen’s fault?

But that would mean dealing with the “now we don’t have to unpack ALL of that” attitude of 2x12. Here are the things that should have been dealt with:

TK and Carlos’s confrontation at the firehouse getting physical

The entire Owen being arrested being a huge set up

How the hell did Owen explain the above to TK?

Did Carlos’s dad and Owen tell Tarlos this together?

The fact that the 126 being sabotaged and then the Tarlos condo burning up was because Owen couldn’t contain his boredom. I know that’s an oversimplification but still.

All of this could have been addressed in 2x13, along with where TK and Carlos went after they were cleared by medical, like of course they went back to Owen’s place but the fact that we did not get any scenes of TK and I’m-the-most-polite-person-in-the-world Carlos living with I-have-no-concept-of-personal-space-or-anything-resembling-chill Owen and I’m-actually-a-giant-puppy Mateo, that we got no scenes of those four living together- we were robbed.

Because what did we get instead?

That did not have to happen?

TOMMY’s HUSBAND DID NOT HAVE TO DIE.

I’m sorry, one more time-

CHARLES VEGA DID NOT HAVE TO FUCKING HAVE TO DIE. IT DID NOTHING FOR THE PLOT.

Seriously- there was never a chance that Tommy was going to leave and not be their captain anymore. And honestly, her staying in the job after he had died and she did not have to, does not seem the right decision with the information she lays out!

Because if Charles’ life insurance policy was big enough to support them and she’s in her fifties and is a single mom now to two pre teens, if she did not have to work the why the fuck would she? It seems the wrong choice in that context!

But, but, if they wanted to have Gina Torres be the focus of an episode, if they wanted to make this choice, I think they could’ve done that for the finale.

In 2x13, instead of say having Tarlos on screen for TWENTY GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING SECONDS where they’re like “even though our living space and all of our possessions burned up less than twenty four hours ago, we have nothing more pressing to do than wander into our crispy burned up firehouse to play with a half burned foosball table and play some fucking BOGGLE.”

Instead of that, Carlos could’ve dealt with fact that he is having some feelings about what happened and that he doesn’t have these feelings often because he’s Carlos and he keeps it together and is stoic and that didn’t mean he had a fire extinguisher in the room when he needed one. Him and TK could have I don’t know fucking slept or tearfully hugged Carlos’s parents after their son almost died. TK and Owen could have, and this is just spitballing.. HAD AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION. ABOUT ANY OF THE EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRED IN FIRE EPISODE.

LIKE SERIOUSLY. PICK ANY ONE.

I have a feeling that after the first season someone went into the writers room and said “okay, we got a second season, we need less beats of people standing around talking things out. In our ten episodes you notice how often our characters just… talk to each other? About what is happening? Yeah that’s gotta stop. We need more people melting from the heat- like we need flesh literally melting off the bone like these people are gas station ribs! We need bombs made of lava to TAKE PEOPLE OUT. We need people catching themselves on FIRE”.

I would like to find that person and take them to task. Because there are so many things that happened in 2x12 that should have been talked about that just…weren’t.

What they could have done is have Charles have a health episode and then in the 2x14 Tommy could worry about his health opening the restaurant and then she could do the whole should I be working? Thing and then decided she wanted to keep her job and Charles would still be alive.

And Billy Tyson- Jesus fucking Christ.

Like again, the firehouse being threatened with closure, that is a good plot point, and it’s the end of season 2, it makes sense. But this could have done without Billy Tyson.

Like yes I know technically he just helped Owen but it’s like Owen- STOP TELLING BILLY THINGS. I really feel this is something literally anyone could have told Owen if this is still a show where people talked to each other.

And that is just some petty shit that Owen turns down the job and the deputy chief gives the job to Billy and is like “and now we’re going to close his firehouse- WITH HIS OWN BUDGET! MUHUHUHUHAHAHA!”

I’m sorry if this made no coherent sense, I was just watching the last three episodes in the second season like what the actual fuck????

Like y’all made me love these characters and then this is how you treat them?!?!

For real- in the season 2 finale, literally all Carlos did was raise his eyebrows like “why y’all like this?” while the 126 told him about Matteo’s temporary Captain almost dying- that’s all he did. In the whole episode.

And he won over Tommy’s daughters and that was cute.

But you know who should have been there?

Charles Vega-

THATS WHO.

Finding our 911’s 4x13 ‘Suspicion’ and 911: Lone Star’s 2x13 ‘One Day’ aired on the same day is CRUSHING

[introvertedsince89]

you know what i actually liked this episode

yeah charles dying absolutely sucked (the actor was cast in another show so it made sense)

but gina torres gave us a clinic on acting and i loved how they showed a different way to grieve and process such a loss

i even liked owens scenes - he had a legitimate reason to be at the hospital and although it was a little cringe him flirting with the doctor was in character

grace and judds scenes were just #chefskiss

and that found family hangout at the firehouse was a great way to end the episode. even owen not telling them what happened so they could have one night of fun before more trauma was heaped on them was good

RAFAEL SILVA as Carlos Reyes on 911: LONE STAR S2 E13 - “One Day” - Episode Stills [LQ]

[reyeslonestar]

a severely delayed reflection on 2.13 bc its been in my drafts for months and I dont want to delete it

you know what would have made that ep better structured for me?

the gunman is real. Tommy has to deal with the fact that she brought him in there and the guilt of potential harm. much of the first scene in the hospital plays out the same as she diffuses the situation and gets the others to leave. stays to handle the machines. evaluates the kid and decides that she’s going to believe in him, even though she knows theres no hope - but shes desperate to save someone today. she needs a miracle, to feel like she could do something to help someone. she and the gunman dont cooperate with the swat team.

another patient left behind in the ICU goes into a medical emergency which Tommy manages to handle - just. she saves a life, but not the one she thought she could. she realises that indulging this guy and his denial is a danger to people - the doctors and nurses need to come back and take care of their patients and focusing on those theyve lost is endangering others they can help. she’s faced with the father’s denial of his loss and she has to begin to process her own, but it’s in a detached way, like she knows it rationally but it hasn’t hit her emotionally yet. she talks the gunman down, empathising and commiserating but explaining that he has to come to terms with his grief and harming others in the process is not the way to do that.

the kid doesn’t miraculously wake up and the father begins to accept his loss - he says goodbye to his son, the swat team take him away, and Tommy finally breaks down as the emotional weight of her own grief hits her.

(alternatively the father continues to deny his loss and we have that contrasted with Tommy finally breaking down as she accepts hers)
