Finally got around to watching the 911 ls finale & honestly? I feel like they really captured the thesis of the show. Ik there are very mixed feelings about it & I get them to a degree but at the same time I don’t think I would change anything.
Gabriel dying did overshadow some of the happiness but this is a show that begun with tragedy. Like yes there could have been an emergency, and if this was the og show that’s probably what would have happened. But lone star… it’s all about those worst days of your life, where everything just seems so entirely hopeless. And how despite that you find a way to be a happy anyway. All their joy is built on tragedy. On grief and survival and guilt and anger and fear and sadness.
Like that scene where Wyatt starts building blocks with Charlie?? Or when Tommy jokes about the bouquet?? And just, when Carlos decides to go ahead with the wedding anyway like. The worst day of your life does not have to be your last day, and that’s Lone Star at its core baby
