Jon Blahed Creates A Real-Life Cult In ‘Raptures’

SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from the Season 1 premiere of Fox’s “9-1-1: Lone Star.”.”

As we continue, we remember all the good things we’ve had with the 126 – and that’s why it’s not just over. While Fox has confirmed that “9-1-1: Lone Star” will likely end with Season 5, the tip continues to be on the way because the “9-1-1” spin-off only debuted its main season the Monday after. more than 12 months off the air.

In the episode, titled “Each Side, Now,” the 126 begins to deal with a hijacked armored truck that will serve as a three-episode emergency drill. In the meantime, newly minted Texas Ranger Carlos (Rafael Silva) is learning the ropes and balancing married life with T.Oke.

He also spent all this time to solve the murder of his father.

After the exit of “9-1-1: Lone Star” actress Sierra McClain last season, her character, Judd Grace’s husband, has been removed as doing missionary work and Judd’s son Wyatt (Jackson Tempo) has taken over Grace. function because now the anchor is in the middle name.

Here’s a sneak peek at the premiere and plans for the rest of the fifth and final season of “9-1-1: Lone Star,” along with the “apocalyptic” collection finale, with Election is co-showrunner Rashad Raisani.

How did you decide to count down the time to the final season? Does it affect the exact watch for “Lone Star” to return from Season 4 to May 2023?

I think this is really the first problem. It’s been 12 months in real life, and we just thought it would be unusual to be wrong like this hole in time has not actually happened in the life of an individual. And I think the opposite factor that is considered is that we just think that it can be a very good alternative to advance individual life in a big way, so that we can follow the latest surprises. You kind of catch as much as someone. And in between the fun of the primary episode, oh, wait, what is Carlos doing now? And has Owen solved all the problems that happened in the past? And Judd’s place in his life? And Wyatt is in a position to rehabilitate the damage to the extent that he is in a position to? To be sure, we can, as soon as we have a way that can be the last season, so we can put everyone on the runway to get the place they want to finish the collection.

I used to be bummed that means we missed out on the newlyweds of Tarlos. How many will continue now these early days of marriage?

I want to consider the thrill that Carlos and T.Oke. who wants to have to come back from a deeper place now, as a result of the world has some real pain in it – Carlos’ father killed – and that additionally makes weight in the relationship. As much as I would like to live forever, I prefer a light life, without problems, without problems, which they deserve, in the real world, life is not possible. Even if you are in a very loving and dedicated relationship, life still finds a way to kick you in the stomach, and most of the time it can take a toll on your relationship. But what I think makes their relationship so amazing is that it keeps growing stronger from these challenges and pressures. And I hope that the happiness that you feel when you see these people constantly passing between the problems that they will face as a couple, that they will play on a stage that is more amazing than seeing them is true. easy and can only get pleasure from one another’s company without the real sweat of the real world.

Carlos is shown in the premiere after his promotion to Texas Ranger, and the episode closes with the reveal of him investigating his father’s murder in his spare time. What plans do you have for him this season outside of his relationship with T.Oke.?

For Carlos, it has been making beer and effervescent for 12 months, this obsession, and has not lost in any respect. If anything, it just continues to metastasize, which is what it does. And Carlos can’t just pick an investigation and move forward every week, because it’s not like the real situation. So he had to just sit back until some problems started to open up for him that he was going to do. But that obsession never goes away, and every scene he does, it’s always there. This is the season when you see the person Carlos has changed. I hope it’s not for the last time, but when we say goodbye to and for T.Oke. and for all these characters that I really like, you see that this person is going to change to because solar begins to set in this now. Having to find his father’s killer, he becomes a Texas Ranger, as his wife, all this is part of the recipe that he wants to be with her.

How do you write and take pictures knowing that this is the last season?

Even earlier than the attack, the writing was on the wall regarding “9-1-1: Lone Star,” as the studio (“9-1-1″/”Lone Star”) twenty TVs purchased by Disney, and the cycle The contract of “9-1-1,” It results in another “9-1-1” extra seamlessly transferred over to ABC, and we do not line up so clean. So, we know that it will be very difficult to solve. I’m not a contract lawyer, so I can’t tell you all the ins and outs of why this is going to be difficult, and just how difficult it is, but the writing is pretty clear on the wall that it can be exhausting which these two companies do.

That said, I don’t hold out much hope that there will be any enthusiasm for doing so. So we know that what we are going to do is the reality. It’s an uphill climb, but my feeling is always, I have to finish this collection in a way that gives you a sense of the amazing journey and closure for the character – but that doesn’t mean it can’t have a new life, if by some bounce of the ball, which is in a position to happen . But I need it, just in case, and assuming that it can be our final, I really want to provide us with that final episode to make the individual really feel like, OK I bought to know this individual, and I really feel like I’m leaving him -this guy is in a bigger place, a place where I see him flourish.

Sierra McClain is leaving season 5 now, and you also have to find a way to get rid of Grace’s character. Why did Sierra leave and the way you did it gave you a way to write Grace, leaving her as the middle operator and her husband Judd and younger daughter?

I’ve chosen to let Sierra talk about that aspect of the story, but I can only give you the aspect of my expertise, which is that Sierra is the soul of “Lone Star,” and she’s at the center. for what now is all about, that I never need to take into consideration doing now with her out. And for a few minutes, it was considered more likely to work out and even two or three weeks earlier than the manufacturers, we thought there was an opportunity, after which it just ended up not in the playing cards. So it forced us to play and it was very difficult. I felt it was important for everyone to defend the character of Grace and actress Sierra McClain – I was keen on everyone. The problem is, how do you explain his absence in a way that doesn’t involve killing him for no reason, which I think is just a travesty, or doing one thing like, he left Judd, divorced, or one dirty thing like that, which I don’t one will consider. So turning our problem is the right way to explain it, or at least explain it to the stage so that we can continue now. And I’ll let the audience decide that if we do, I think we’re done. We’re also making up for the lack of Judd’s current story and I think it could lead to an amazing arc that takes us through a full fifth season, especially for Judd. I would like to assume that we have at least found a small silver lining to this great loss.

Any chance we’ll get a second back-to-the-finale? It would be really tiring to see Judd’s story ended with Grace there.

I agree. Unfortunately, we’ve been shot. I kept hoping until the last minute, I would say. I think that, without seeing him in the display, how can I be satisfied? But in that case, I’m just immensely pleased with the current place. I just consider the way it ends so deeply that I think people will really feel like, wow, it can’t have resulted in anything else.

Can you tease about the rest of the final season, and how you chose to finish the collection?

Enough teasing of the season, obviously now we have a big practice derailment and a petrol leak. However, we’re also going to have a lot of fun with this 12 months. For me, the fun right now is watching this fish out of water Rob Lowe, who was born in Santa Monica and grew up in New York. They’re just urban and they have skincare merchandise and hair care products and all that stuff. And I think seeing him as an extra cowboy this season could be a fun factor. So now we have some emergency situations that mimic, extra from West Outdated, we do some things that we can’t do with horses. Then we’ll see some Texas Rangers situations that may be darker and scarier than they’ve been in years. After that, until the end of the current and emergency tip, the factor that I can say is apocalyptic, in every sense of the word. I think people are going to be like, “Oh my God, I can’t believe they’re completely apocalyptic.” We wanted to match the way it felt to write the last episode to see, so that it’s not just the end of the world for our characters and for us – individuals who are working hard today. have been so pleased with – it is an additional tip of the world, maybe, for all viewers as it is true.

So we’re going to “The Final of Us” in the finale?

Let’s just say we’re going to “The Final of Us” with a bit of “Chernobyl.”
