The series finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star saw the entire 126 Firehouse survive a catastrophic asteroid impact and subsequent nuclear reactor crisis. While this might seem like a happy ending, some viewers argue the lack of consequences for the characters diminishes the gravity of the situation and ultimately leaves the finale feeling less impactful.
When the fifth season of 9-1-1: Lone Star was announced as its last, rumors swirled that not every character would survive. Cast member Sierra McClain exited the series before Season 5 even started, raising the stakes for the remaining crew. The series finale aired this week on FOX, and while the entire 126 Firehouse made it out alive, some viewers may argue that's not necessarily a good thing. The finale saw an asteroid hurtling towards Austin, culminating in a nuclear reactor disaster.
The 126, despite facing these seemingly insurmountable odds, managed to escape unscathed. Even Tommy, who battled terminal cancer in the previous episode, saw her illness miraculously go into remission. Owen, who bore the brunt of the reactor emergency, also survived, leaving viewers with a sense of unease about the writers' handling of the high-stakes situation.

It makes the entire disaster storyline feel less significant and undermines the emotional weight of the final emergency call for the crew. Furthermore, the decision to have Owen survive, despite facing numerous life-threatening situations throughout the series, feels unrealistic and somewhat anticlimactic. It's understandable that writers might want to leave room for potential future appearances in the larger 9-1-1 franchise. However, in prioritizing the possibility of Owen's return, the writers may have sacrificed the opportunity to deliver a truly impactful and memorable ending for 9-1-1: Lone Star. The finale lacked the emotional resonance that a more realistic and bittersweet ending could have provided. It leaves many viewers wondering if the show's focus on happy endings overshadowed the opportunity to explore the true complexities and sacrifices inherent in first responder wor
