So i didnt get to watch live this week only got to follow along with tweets and then see the tumblr ramblings. So i went into the episode already not happy about the marina/jack sperm donor possibility and what may gave happened. But then i watched the episode and i have a different opinion though i do want to say two things first. One i am not really a fan of using jack as the donor but if that happens I’ll hold final judgement until i see it play out (im hopeful if they do some of danielle’s conversations on the topic with her own life experience will come into play) and two i dont think they will, honestly believe its a misdirect.
Okay so my opinion on the episode. I had thought before the episode that they had decided to use a knowb donor and that was that. But i was happy to see they are still trying to decide whether to use a known donor or not which is very real. So them discussing in the abstract using even jack didn’t bother me because its very real. They are still considering all possibilities and may move on to discussing with a few of the guys even jack about it ( even if they only talk to jack i feel like travis would find out and offer to help as well which could open up the possibility of travis) (side note i just thought of, there will be testing for the donor to go through so what if jacks sterile).
But anyways i think we are a ways off from picking a donor and doing the procedure, so im cautiously optimistic and going to hold off judgment for now. So yea thats my two cents. Side note im going to make a post related to this without station 19 tags so if anyone is interested in understanding better my take on this click on the tag below “our conception story”
Okay but what relationship milestone? Like if its the 1 year anniversary of getting together officially then that means its also travis/Emmett’s 1 year anniversay and marina’s first wedding anniversary. that would explain carina being at the station. Hmm so many questions.
So i completely forgot that there were witnesses to this scene specifically travis and warren (who may confided in about kids questions). But now that im reminded can we please get a scene of them bringing it up to her now in s5.
And since we most likely wont can someone fic it, hell have them do it in front of carina.
Let’s try to get this final live blog on my station 19 rewatch done. I’m currently laid up on my couch in mild pain but unable to do anything else.
I don’t really like flashback episodes but i want one for the premiere since we are jumping so far ahead. I hate that this episode starts with a fight. But damn knowing what the fight is over, i love how loyal andy is to maya in this episode. Something ive wanted for her and the team. Qnd also jaina looks gorgeous.
The fire scene yay another fire on the fire show lmao. Feel like we missed some last year which im sure was covid related.
The marina scene ugh chefs kiss. I love how happy and giddy they are. I do wish we couldve gotten to see some of their month apart communication and their quarantining apart those two weeks when carina got back. I wrote a little something related to that and i may share before the premiere of season 5.
The quiet moment between carina saying her morning was better than those 6 weeks and then asking about mayas folks was a beautiful and real moment and i love it. So brief it could be overlooked but great choice for team.
The little bit of danielle and stefania that was them and adlibbed in this episode was so great also.
I love that rhey addressed how everyone was able to attend maskless and how safe the wedding was keeping the real world element in. Also vic love you and your chicken dance comment makes me sad that we didnt get it.
Vics parents trying to talk to her about theo is so cute.
Poor lawyer she’d be good for dean.
I understand some people dont come out until late in life but that is hard to hear that you havent loved the person youve been with for decades like you do this new person. That would hurt me so much to hear, like i couldve been with someone who is my great love if youd told me sooner. I love/hate this storyline for travis family.
Ugh if this fire had gone on any longer those poor kids and elderly couple.
Haha andy you should wait until someone answers the door for you when visiting almost newlyweds or people who’ve been seperated for 6 weeks lmao.
Also maya’s excuse and none wet (shower) sex hair i love it.
Ugh sullivan trying to defend himself makes me so upset.
Bailey giving ben hell about second and third opinions is funny, like i figure shed be all for it.
Inara and marcus leaving jack is sad. I hope we still get to see marsha in season 5. Also if they do pair jack and jo itd be a bit ironic. I mean jo too had an abusive ex like inara.
Also jack and his marsha have similar eyes, itd be something if it came out she really was his mom.
I dont understand how maya hadnt settled on what to wear she’s queen of the clipboard lmao. Just goes to show how some things throw us off course. Also i totally get her saying her outfit choice will define her forever. I judge my look in my wedding photos all the time and feel like other people do as well.
Why do i feel like this exchange between maya and carina was mostly adlibbed? It just feels so fun.
This poor family and ugh i couldnt imagine having to make the tough calls of firefighters/fire captains.
Love that all the fire crew helped put the wedding on.
I understand travis emotion here.
How’d this conversation about maya’s folks get started with andy???
I love that maya and andy’s friendship is restored. Also famous last words maya, dont speak the bad juju into existence.
Dean you shouldve spoken up there.
Why the chief there? I live in a city and the chief aint showing up for a house call that needs a few units. At least not until fire is out of they for some reason cant get it out.
Lmao maya freaking out about wearing the same thing as carina. Andy therapizing maya is funny.
That poor boy.
The dad comments to ben are beautiful. Also love that so many of the team know how dean feels about vic.
So why is travis getting dressed separately than the rest of his team. I mean i know its because he doesnt know about Dean’s feelings and pushes vic to give theo a chance as well as allow theo and travis to talk but come on. He wouldnt get ready separately.
Also what was the point of theo going to that room if not to get ready. Sorry just annoying.
I wish carina had had someone mention andrew to her. Whether ben, bailey, maya or even any of the fire team who worked on the call with him during the crossover awhile back. Her grief during this day of happiness should’ve been acknowledged, even with just a remembrance table for him amd other family she lost to covid.
I do love this beautiful moment with vic though saying this isnt all just for maya.
Oh my how i love the maya confronting her father. She is the brave i want to be. Also what she says to her mom, yes chefs kiss. However when her mom shows up at the wedding, really the woman couldnt grab a nice shirt or dress to wear on her way out or on her way to the wedding.
I also love the look of pride on maya’s moms face both at the house and the wedding.
Im sad we probably wont get any moments of her living with marina due to the time jump.
Ugh the choice that cost maya her promotion but ahouldnt have.
Also with all maya’s options for clothes, couldnt they had dressed her mama in something borrowed from maya. Lol im sorry it bothers me so.
Vic’s song for the intro is beautiful. Barrett has a beautiful voice.
Maya is so happy her mom is there and i love it. Also in my head at least one person videoing is doing it for the greys family who couldnt make it to the wedding for carina.
I also love maya singing along with vic to carina.
Queen of the clipboard forgetting to write her vows is special and funny. I love carina talking her down from a panic attack. Also her simple vow is beautiful and how carina who probably did write her vows saying we’re good instead of reading them after seeing maya’s mom in attendance and the look shared is everything.
I truly believe that was the moment she 100% knew maya had changed from end of season 3, was definitely all the way in. She knew what it meant for maya’s mom to be there.
Love the dance montage and improved marina kiss.
Another healing theo and travis talk.
Sullivan just cant let it go and ugh trying to justify it. I just cant, still not over it. Even if he isnt captain in season 5 it still isnt right.
Sullivan you cant say you have the teams back then saying you can control them and throwing maya under the bus. Those are contradictory.
This jack and andy conversation is interesting.
This marina conversation is funny but sad when you know the end of the episode.
Its so funny that so few people know about Miller’s feelings at this point.
It’ll be interesting to see the travis, vic and theo in season 5.
Ben and bailey are so cute.
Wish we couldve had conversations at the wedding with maya and her mom or carina and maya’s mom or the 3 of them.
Inara is so wise. I hate this for all 4 of them.
Gotta love the ole grab em and pull em back to kiss them and let them know how you really feel tremmett moment.
Too late dean, they tried to tell you.
I love marina dancing in the background ugh sullivan and the surrera rehashing.
Time for the horrible news ugh.
Everyone just looking at marina and knowing is horrible.
Great season, great episode and im looking forward to whats next.
Thank you to everyone thats been following my rewatch blogging, and for all the kind comments. I appreciate it so much, made the summer so fun.
Station 19 returns in a little over 2 weeks so im going to try to finish my rewatch this week.
Im doing todays rewatch while my daughter plays we’ll see if i can work this out.
This is one one of my favorite episodes but im liable to cry watching it again.
Ugh dixon why cant we have lost him this season.
I love the family talks between the crew to start the episode and jack with his seemingly random trivia/information that he just feels like educating his team about.
Poor vic you can see how much she is struggling as the news is on and her crew discusses protesting and police brutality.
I love what Montgomery says that things felt different right after george floyd and breonna taylor were killed, like something was going to change. But now a year plus out i cant help but feel like nothing is really changing, like we all forgot what we saw.
I do love their shirts.
Oh maya trying to navigate being there for her team, doing whats right and whats expected of her. I don’t envy her. Also its all in vain and she came so far and is the best captain.
Hughes wanting to change the subject and celebrate marina’s engagement, i love her but my heart hurts for her. I also love the support for maya from her team.
I know some fans take issue with vic calling it a lesbian wedding but im onebof those who isnt. That comes from a bisexual woman married to a bisexual woman who normally just tells people she is gay or a lesbian because ita simpler. And also because you can sometimes avoid the inevitable question of why did i choose a woman instead of a man.
I love the i could barely agree to get carina to marriage line and i dont know why.
There’s hererra eating away lol; either they just had fun messing with fans or really planned the long game pregnancy. Is it possible we’ll see glimpses of her pregnancy in flashbacks this season and then she’ll have a baby in present day. This could’ve been their way of getting around having to film a pregnancy over the course of a season and keeping andy in the action. Hmmm
Vic and travis, i love them. Im glad travis trying to get vic to open up. I just want to hug vic so much, i cant imagine what she’s going through.
Barrett kills this episode.
Bishop is right, vic cant be objective she needs to foucs on her family and trust her team.
I love watching maya captain.
Asshole kids.
Vic talking about her team is love. In light of the following episode i wish we could’ve had them all be introduced to her folks on screen. Also i need fics of how the wedding came to be at the restuarant and just marina month apart after becoming engaged.
Ugh between the popo and news its like vultures outside the fire. Also the portrayal of the news pisses me off as a news producer. Thats not to say some news stations may have agendas or some reporters an inability to seperate themselves from the story but in my experience that is few and far between.
“Fire” “whatever your question is the answer is fire and we are working to put it out” ugh i love the bde and quote from maya. And the “buhbye” so much love here.
These officers are out of line, if you cant do your job properly then hand in your badge you pos. Love the female officer here, ill take more of her. Clearly she has no issue with the station or the lawsuit.
Im glad dean listened to maya and didnt question her. I also just realized she said “ill deal with pd”, such a good captain putting herself between the pos and her team.
As maya watches vic and her family you can just see her heart going out to them.
Ugh vic you need all the hugs, also mama hughes is so stubborn lol but i love her.
I love them ribbing on andy about eating and her choice of food as well as her loud stomach rumbles.
Too much bad news delivered by emails/texts to the team.
Its not fair the team seems upset with maya about the city’s decision.
Perv andy lol also totally pregnant. Also the look she gave sullivan when they were on their way to the fire just screamed i know im pregnant and love my baby daddy.
Theo means well and im glad travis is letting him help.
Sometimes moms say things and mean well but they just dont come across right.
Stupid news reporter.
I love this scene and mama hughes. “Let it burn” so succinct. She is an icon. The recitement of the names never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
That her parents know the names rings differently for vic, its like she feels seen amd that maybe they werent as unaware as they came across.
Jack seems so lost and is just trying to understand the world and himself. I just want him to find his purpose and happiness. I swear it just seems like he’ll be the next person killed off after finding his happiness.
I love the boards dedicated to vic, just goes to show sometimes parents care more than they seem and are just not good at showing it. They are so proud of her.
Them both telling just a second made me chuckle so much.
The apology may not bring back michael but its important none the less.
Im glad maya checked on dean. And the solution they came up with. Side note danielle looks so good in this scene, i may have a crush.
Fhe breath she takes when he stops her from leaving, it hurts me. I take it as she is bracing herself for the worst especially when he says he doesnt want to be disrespectful. Its still hard for her to believe she has the teams unwavering support. I love dean telling maya to have a wedding for her station.
The breaking the plates scene i love it. Love the conversations between vic and her mom.
I really really hope that Travis’s whole speech about Emmett was just his way of protecting himself from the thought of not having him anymore and not more shitty writing.
But they’ve been writing him pretty shitty this second half of the season so I doubt it.
Tell me you don’t believe a widow should be allowed to move on in a happy and healthy way because they only get one great love without telling me you don’t believe a widow should be allowed to move on in a happy and healthy way because they only get one great love. The Station 19 writers will go first.
Theory I’m toying with for station 19 season 5: the number of times Dean has talked about struggling to know what to say, I think we’re going to get something going wrong at a Crisis One call, and he’s going to have to fix it. Like him, Vic and Emmett getting trapped, maybe they’re trapped and he’s outside? Just something and Dean is going to have to get them out/save them. Lots of pay off in that- his confidence in himself, his relationship with Vic, if 19 arrive then fire family pay off, Travis and Emmett pay off, if 23 are there, then Vic and Theo and indirectly, Travis and Theo maybe working together?
