Damn that episode of 9-1-1 Lone Star was intense!
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Too intense! They throw situation after situation at you, until you finally get kind of panicked out. When she walked into the room in that last scene, I wasn't thinking, "oh no." I was thinking, "You have GOT to be kidding."

I was actually surprised by the last scene.

I literally thought, "He didn't answer her...if he's dead I'm gonna be *pissed*.

Epic, I was expecting the house to catch fire when she opened the door and when it didn't I was momentarily confused.

When I saw him sitting there unresponsive as Tommy nattered on about all the excitement, I got hit with a strong sense of deja vu to that moment when Buffy found Joyce's body. Made the moment WAY more heartbreaking.

sj, your version at least would have made a bit more sense. As it was, I felt kinda, "What's next? Plague of locusts?"
Matt, maybe that's why I recognized it so quickly! But I didn't go to heartbreak, I was irritated.

Tell you one thing, though. I recently bought a new fire extinguisher for the kitchen and it came in a set of two and I was unsure where to put the second. It's going in or near the bedroom now, for sure!

Matt, yes there was definitely some of that in there.

Oh, this episode definitely prompted me to track down my second extinguisher (beside the sink in the bathroom, as it turns out) and move it to an accessible space next to my bed.
