Yesterday, we got a sneak peek of the final few episodes of the First Responders procedural. The series is going out with a bang, as in a meteor hauling its way towards Austin.
There were rumors that Lone Star was going to end with a catastrophic event, and this would totally be that.
It’s about time a show that was ending ended with everyone dying! At least, I hope that is how it ends. Not that I want them to die, but I want a program to finally have the balls to kill everyone off. Although, isn’t that how Lost ended?
Lone Star returns on January 20th and will say goodbye on February 3rd.
Dead Like Me’s Callum Blue returned to acting by playing an actor on 9-1-1 for six episodes. Yesterday, we said goodbye to Brad Torrance with a powerful performance. As powerful as that was, he wrote a letter that equals that.
Dear “911” family… I’m going to leave you with this…
Thank you so much for letting me ride along in the fire truck with you on this incredible journey. It has been a privilege to play Brad Torrance. I relate to him in so many ways, but especially that wounded part that is forever searching for something authentic, something that he feels is just out of reach and no matter how much fame, money or how many wives he accumulates on the outside world, that inner yearning to be rescued lingers…
I now understand why 911 is so popular – all of us, at one time or another, may have felt like we needed to be rescued. Sometimes physically, but more often, and almost never addressed, spiritually. It’s a beautiful desire, and an important one because, I believe, it points to the fact that while a brave human being can pull us out of a plane or a burning building, the only hero who can save us spiritually is ourselves and our connection to Love. By anchoring into an usnseen force within, that inner rescuer who will grip our hand tightly and let us know that we are safe and we are never alone, no matter what.
Here’s a thought; You are the hero you’ve been waiting for. And when you find that hero within, you can reach out your hand and lift up others. We are all ONE, we are already saved and we’re all in this together…
I am left feeling entirely satisfied and full of appreciation with my experience on @911onabc, thank you deeply to the high vibrational and beautiful cast, crew, creators, producers, directors and network, you have allowed me to fall in love with acting again and I’m forever grateful.
Mad fun

I hope that Ryan Murphy finds a place for him in something else because our televisions have been missing him. Plus, he proved he is up for it as the lovable Divo actor on the first responders drama.

9-1-1 was launched on Fox in 2018 and was an immediate hit. So much so that in 2020, Fox added 9-1-1: Lone Star to its lineup.
Both were huge hits. But then, in 2023, Fox canceled the original series, and ABC saved it.
Even though 9-1-1 switched networks, Lone Star stayed put. However, it took last season off because of the strikes. And just before it debuted this week, Fox confirmed that this will be the series’ final season.
Does that mean that 9-1-1 will be the only show left in the franchise next season? If Ryan Murphy has his way, that will not be the case.
“Tim Minear and I are working on a new spinoff that we’re actually writing, and that we hope to get on the air next fall,” Murphy tells Variety. “Sadly, we all love ‘Lone Star,’ but the financials just didn’t work. It’s a Disney company that was on a Fox network, and it just was never going to work. And we had a long run of it. So now we’re going to launch a new show in a new city that I can’t name, but it’s fun. And ‘9-1-1’ moved to ABC and suddenly became, I think, the biggest show on Thursday night. They obviously have an appetite for that, so we’re going to give them another one that I really love.”
What city do you think they are thinking of saving? I would love to see them go to Chicago just to fuck with Dick Wolf and NBC!
Tonight at 8p, 9-1-1 is back on ABC with a three-part season premiere event that will bee keeping you on the edge of your seats.
For those of us who watch the 9-1-1 shows, we know that Ryan Murphy teases us with spectacular multi-episode events, and then they don’t deliver until the last episode. However, that is not the case with Beenado. The action begins after the first commercial break.
The episode starts off with a bang, and it doesn’t stop after that.
Captain Nash (Peter Krause) left Station 118, and now there is a new man in charge, Captain Vincent Gerrard (Brian Thompson). He hates Buck (Oliver Stark) and punishes him all of the time. He is the toughest on Buck, but he is tough on everyone. Therefore, they don’t like him. And neither do I.
Not only is he a jerk, but he is also not the best in the field. His old ways don’t work anymore. And that is going to lead to problems when they are called out to assist with a truck that jackknifed on the freeway.
Normally, that is an easy thing to clean up. However, this truck was carrying 20 million killer bees, and they got loose after the accident.
Now, they are all the buzz in Los Angeles because the city is being attacked by bees, which can kill with their stings.
When I watched the promo, I was like this looks like fun, especially because it is on the other side of the hill. But then they come to Valley, and now it has a different meaning for me.
I am scared of bees, even in movies and TV, and in the premiere episode, the bees flew to a town close to where I live. So, I haven’t slept since I watched the episode.
Having said that, I still enjoyed the episode.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Athena (Angela Bassett) is sent out of town to bring a prisoner back to Los Angeles. Nothing about it goes smoothly, so much so that she would rather deal with the bees.
