Station 19 Spherical Desk: Did the Maya and Mason Reunion Have a Satisfying Conclusion?
A reunion between estranged siblings had an emotional affect.
However with Station 19 Season 7 Episode 7, the season is winding down, and we’re ready for the items to fall into place because the potential conclusion of the collection nears.
Be a part of Ellie MV, Heather M., and TV Fanatic Haley Whitmire White, they usually unpack the hour.
Did the conclusion of Carina’s lawsuit underwhelm you?
Ellie: Actually, no. I did not know a lot about that storyline as a result of I assumed it could be forgotten after one episode. Nevertheless, with the way it ended within the episode, it simply felt like an pointless storyline from the start, so it was a waste of time.
Haley: It was just like how the identical storyline with Addison on Non-public Follow performed out. What was the purpose of recycling that materials?
A determined and financially strained mom has a toddler who was disabled at beginning and sues the OB to try to get cash to outlive; the OB finally ends up feeling sorry for the mom and giving her sources to assist her scenario. Nothing new to see right here.
Heather: the lawsuit story was boring and pointless, and one other manner the writers made themselves look unhealthy in a shortened season of a present that is canceled.
What would you grade this week’s name and Station 19 collaborating with the Tulalip tribe?
Ellie: I might grade the decision like 1/10 as a result of Station 19 has misplaced its sparkle with its calls. We used to have nice calls through the first seasons. And now, calls final barely 5 minutes and are not that fascinating. Really disappointing for a present about firefighters.
Haley: I actually preferred this name and the collaboration with the Tulalip folks! It was good to see them work respectfully alongside them. I additionally preferred the callout of pointless gender reveals, particularly ones which can be environmentally hazardous.
Heather: I agree with each Ellie and Haley. Calls aren’t thrilling anymore, and let’s not begin with how horrible the graphics appeared for this hearth.
However I preferred the story of the Tulalip folks and this new connection they constructed. I simply hated that it was solely Andy they invited to their ceremony. Nice job additionally on spotlighting how silly and ridiculous gender reveals get nowadays.
Are you invested in Travis and Domenic probably changing into a romantic merchandise, or do you suppose it is too late within the recreation for it?
Ellie: Nope. Subsequent query!
Haley: I imply, it appears inevitable, however how am I alleged to have time to put money into a brand new ship this late? Simply put Travis again with Emmett and allow them to journey off into the sundown.
Heather: It is too late to get invested in a brand new love story with so little time left. However this is what I noticed: Travis instantly appeared smitten with this man. We have not seen that look on his face when he meets somebody new because the flashbacks of Michael.
Grant was him making an attempt to maneuver ahead in his grief, and Emmett he didn’t love, simply lusted after very arduous. He fell for Eli as a result of Eli made him be ok with himself, however he messed that up, which did not imply that Travis was as invested.
With Travis and Dom’s relationship within the bar, I used to be utterly confused about his feedback on divorcing his useless husband, however I perceive now he thinks of it that manner generally to look ahead to one thing new, to the issues he did not get to have with Michael.
We do not know if this relationship goes someplace, however the writers confirmed Travis lastly out from underneath the burden of his grief that he’s trying ahead. And thank GOD they weren’t of the montage on the finish.
Please share your ideas about Maya’s reunion with Mason and her finally reducing him off.
Ellie: As I stated for the Satisfaction episode, I want the writers did not have Mason again as a result of it is the final season.
Danielle was unbelievable through the reunion, however I want Mason had developed higher than this. I want we had seen him within the outdated seasons with Maya making an attempt to assist him quite than seeing him as a homophobic individual simply because it is the final season.
So, basically, I am dissatisfied with the reunion, and I am not shocked Maya lower him off as a result of he’s so hateful, and she or he does not want that negativity in her life.
Haley: I am glad they confirmed the truth of getting hateful members of the family whose minds will not will not be modified.
We might like to consider {that a} good chat will heal all our disconnected relationships, but it surely’s not life like.
It was a heartbreaking and well-written scene. I can relate to Maya, and it’s a fully devastating loss.
Heather: I am glad it wasn’t a fast resolve story, and I am glad Maya selected that set off shot over somebody she beloved whose thoughts has been poisoned and become dwelling, respiration hatred.
How do you’re feeling in regards to the Maya/Beckett dynamic and their lavatory scene?
Ellie: WHY do Carina & Maya at all times have deep conversations with their coworkers however by no means with one another? That is critically irritating. And I am not a fan of that dynamic as a result of I nonetheless didn’t neglect what Beckett had finished to Maya when he was Captain…
Haley: Y’all heard me complain about how a lot I dislike Beckett, however he’s rising on me these previous few episodes. I beloved his light strategy and compassion for Maya within the lavatory scene. He was an sudden supply of consolation for her in a traumatic and painful second.
Heather: I actually appreciated this second. It was full of respect. It confirmed how Beckett is not as chilly or aloof as he tries to placed on. I do know followers wish to hear Beckett say I am sorry to Maya, however I do not suppose we’ll get that.
As an alternative, we’re getting little scenes like this as his manner of creating up for his unhealthy therapy of her final yr. Actions converse louder than phrases, so I’ll take these scenes any day.
Theo and Vic had an attractive reunion. Do you’ve gotten any ideas on this growth?
Ellie: I quit with that present when it is ait’s relationships. I’ve by no means been a Theo/Vic fan as a result of Theo was a poisonous boyfriend to Vic, in order that reunion will not be cute. Vic deserves so a lot better than Theo, a man who’s making an attempt to do higher.
Haley: My poisonous trait is that I ship Thictoria with my complete coronary heart. I agree with Ellie — Vic deserves higher — however I am unable to assist however love them collectively. I believe Theo is making an attempt to be the form of associate Vic deserves, and I hope to see them evolve right into a wholesome energy couple.
Heather: I used to be glad to see them have a dialog with laughs, however I wasn’t thrilled they attached. I really like Vic and Theo collectively. He was a superb boyfriend to her earlier than his interim captaincy.
Neither of them was excellent with one another. She did some hurtful issues to him, too. However I am additionally glad to listen to him notice he was horrible to Vic. I might like to see them again collectively, however not by hooking up. They want some deep convo first!
With solely a few episodes remaining, how do you envision them wrapping issues up, and what are your total ideas on this last season up to now?
Ellie: I am unable to watch for the present’s finish as a result of the writing is terrible.
And I’ve a sense that the final episode will likely be too predictable with issues like Marina having their youngsters, Theo/Vic being collectively, Domenic & Travis courting, Sullivan & Ross getting married, Andy will nonetheless be Captain, or possibly she will likely be Chief…
Haley: My guess is that we’ll get some flash-forward scenes within the finale to provide us a glimpse of how everyone seems to be faring sooner or later.
We’ll in all probability see a montage that may embrace Maya and Carina holding their new child and introducing child Liam to the brand new child. Vic and sure Theo will likely be working alongside the Tulalip firefighters on a Disaster One name, they usually’ll change a glance that tells us they’re an merchandise once more.
I might guess Beckett will likely be there, too. Andy will likely be thriving as a pacesetter, Sullivan and Natasha will likely be on their honeymoon or one thing, and Travis will in all probability be hanging with this new ambulance man. The main points will differ, however I undoubtedly see a wrap-up montage in our close to future.
Heather: You already know what? I’ve no theories on how something will go for anybody, and I do not wish to as a result of I will solely be arrange for disappointment by the writers.
This season may have been higher, however possibly the writers are as bitter as we’re in regards to the cancelation, so they simply threw no matter on the wall and noticed what caught.
What was your favourite second or storyline from the hour?
Ellie: Nothing.
Haley: I had two favorites.
First, I beloved that Andy requested the entire crew for assist and concerned them in a critical decision-making course of. It confirmed large progress for her to try this as an alternative of making an attempt to shoulder all the things alone and find yourself failing consequently.
Second, I beloved Miranda Bailey’s response to Warren’s large confession. In fact, she knew he was on T already. I really like that she gave him the area and the grace to return to her with it when he was prepared.
Heather: Haley stated it. The identical is true for me, and I will add a pair extra: them dancing at Joe’s and likewise listening to Dominic’s opinions of 19 and the way he sees how properly they work collectively and the way deeply they care.
Different outsiders and subs are available in and speak trash about them, so it was good to see an outsider clarify why this group is particular. I felt like that was a nod to us followers and the way a lot we love them.
