Now I've reached over 5,000 screenshots (wow) and I might postpone the start of S6 by one day. Will be finally decided tomorrow or tonight, I guess.

And still one season and six movies ahead of me. S05E21 The Tycoons Summary: The station responds to a fire that turns out be in a trash dumpster. John gets everyone but Roy excited about buying into a nearby hot dog stand, which burns down just as Roy shows interest. A man suffers a heart wound from a nail shot from a power lawn mower. John and Roy rush a baby who stops breathing to Rampart in the Squad, where Dixie and Dr. Early rush to save her. The firemen save people trapped in a chemical fire that turns explosive — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) John sees a run-down hot dog stand as a great investment opportunity that the entire station can get in on. A rubbish fire nearly turns into an embarrassing incident. A nail thrown by a lawn mower lodges in a man's heart. A burglar with a bullet in his leg resists treatment. An infant has breathing difficulty. A ruptured gas line causes a fire to break out on the roof of an industrial complex. (from metacritic taken) Thoughts: Johnny and Roy are in need of coffee but Captain Stanley has drunken all, yet he orders his paramedics out for fire inspections. Before they could do it, the station gets called out to a dumpster fire which is already being taken care of - to the embarrassment of the firefighters by a young lady. So the Cap sends his two paramedics on their way to an inspection at "Davvy's Dogs", yet the stand is anything but fire proof - and Johnny says that only an idiot would buy it. Be careful what you say. The next call takes the squad to a guy who got hurt from mowing lawn and a splint is close to his heart. At Rampart, Drs. Brackett and Early have to take immediate action to save the guy. Back at the station, they discuss this with Chet who says he goes there all the time because of the great hot dogs, and so with the next opportunity they go there again and taste them - and are astonished. Johnny is immediately in and Roy brings back the 'idiot' comment but well, then the whole station - sans Roy. At Rampart, Dr. Brackett treats a gunshot victim who isn't even aware to be shot and refuses but in the end is convinced to get treated. That night at 51, Roy and Johnny again speak about the purchase and they bring up interesting arguments - rich against poor. lol Then they get called out to a baby in breathing distress which they bring over to the hospital via squad. At the station, Johnny seeks help from Cap Stanley to convince Roy finally, yet the last call takes them to a chemical plant fire where Johnny gets in contact with it and needs to be washed down. While the others take care of the fire, he freezes - until Roy lends him his coat. Aw. The next day, at 51, Roy has finally decided to join in but the Cap has bad news: the hotdog stand burned down. Ouch! Leaving Chet, Roy and Johnny in the classical three monkey pose: see, hear and speak no evil! Some pics: Let's hope it still works. Let you know my decision tomorrow - when I come online.

Yeah, three babies for one role. Never mind, I made the decision no episode tonight. Need to figure it why this is so strange now.

So, here we are: last episode of S5. S05E22 The Nuisance Summary: This episode is, in my opinion, one of the best in the series. It was great as a Season Finale because it closed the year on an emotional yet funny high note that was riveting to watch in the dramatic scenes and fun to watch in the comic ones as well. I could truly see something like this playing out in real life, as quirky as life can be! We see Randolph Mantooth portraying the injured John Gage, in a very believable way. The way he portrays the suffering John goes through makes you sympathize with his pain, as he becomes the patient. The way Roy deals with John's temporary replacement after his telling Roy smugly that he is sure "his" way was right, was another example of how you could feel the tension in the situation. We also see John's Physical Therapist change her perception of him as she witnesses the concern he bears as they watch the news report of the trapped firemen, during the final rescue. The expressions on her face as she quietly observed him, was perfectly done. It was good to see Johnny win the day on this one! Lastly, the final segment with Carole Cook as the tough but flirty floor nurse was played to comic perfection! As she retrieves John from Roy and Marco's room and then informs Roy of her soon return for him, not only her dialogue, but the final look on Roy's face, not to mention Marco's, was pure., classic comedy! It makes you wonder if Marco was victim number three. All in all, if someone wanted to see the various elements that make this series great, they could see all of them in this episode. The segment itself deserves watching again! - by elbertmarti on IMDB Thoughts: We start with the station being called out to a woman lost in trance. Some smelling salt and she's back but the owner took six hours to call the paramedics. While going back to their squad, Johnny gets hit by a car which results in some serious injuries. Roy is nearly losing it and it takes all of 51s not to get angry. Roy goes with Johnny in the ambulance while Chet drives the squad. At Rampart, Drs. Early and Morton take care of the paramedic who is in desperate need of surgery. Later on, Dr. Early tells Roy that Johnny made it through. Back at the station, Dwyer lets Roy know that he gets the 'perfect paramedic' named Craig Brice as Johnny's replacement and well, he certainly shows that his way is the only correct way. Poor Roy. At Rampart, Johnny has taken some interest in soap operas - and his physical therapist but there's always a nurse from hell disturbing. Ouch! The squad gets a call to a sick man where Brice (he wants to be called that way) bluntly tells the man he could have a heart problem while Roy hopes to do it more friendly. Roy really wants to punch Brice who also locks the compartments. *grgr* All at the station notice the tension between the paramedics. The last call takes the station and other engines to a fire in the city which Johnny sees on TV, live - and fears with his comrades. During it, a wall collapses which hurts Roy and Marco but not Brice, so Roy and Marco become roommates and get visited by Johnny in his wheelchair. He tells that Brice is partnered up with Bellingham, known as 'The Animal' in the FD. Good pairing, and well, the nurse from hell returns to catch Johnny for his bath and tells Roy that he's next. Double ouch!! Note: - This episode was directed by Randolph Mantooth. - First appearance of paramedic Craig Brice. - Johnny's PT was the stewardess in the first episode of this season. Some pics: All pics are from Tumblr this time. No others found - except my newly taken screenshots. To be honest when Johnny rolls in with his wheelchair to visit Roy and Marco, I have the scene from the bloopers in mind. So, tomorrow then the start of the last season with 24 episodes!!

Well, here we are: last season - with all cast! S06E01 The Game Summary: Squad 51 is assigned to work the game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum between the USC Trojans and the visiting Stanford Cardinals, where they deal with a choking victim, a man with breathing difficulties, an injured photographer, and a TV announcer with heart trouble. After Johnny and Roy haven't been watching the game enough, Dr. Brackett and Dixie cut them out of Rampart. Meanwhile, a woman accidentally pulls her husband off the roof into a tree. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) Thoughts: We start with the guys at the station where Captain Stanley let his paramedics know that they won duty on the football game which draws some envious reactions from their mates, especially Chet and Marco. But before that the station gets called to a man trapped in a tree by a lifeline (tugged up by his son on the van) when his wife with their daughter wanted to do some errands. To his luck, he only hurt his leg but doesn't speak to his son for the time being. At Rampart, Johnny and Roy are also envied by Dixie and Drs. Brackett and Early and well, they quickly flee. At the stadium, all ten paramedics team are getting instructions and their line of duty. Roy and Johnny are team 8 and seem to have drawn the raw stick: anytime something big happens on the game, they are called out. First to a man who ate too quickly, second to a guy who simply hyperventilated and third, at the 50 yard line, a photographer got hit - right in front of Johnny and Roy. So, they ride with him in the ambulance and for once enjoy the game when Roy quickly convinces Johnny to leave and go back to the stadium. Yet they arrive when there's a break and soon enough get a call to a heart attack in the press room. Again, they concentrate on their victim and not the game. When Johnny and Roy once again return, all is quiet. Too quiet. They missed the game because they were too busy. Coming to the station on the next day, Chet, Marco and Cap tell excitedly about the game (on TV) while Roy and Johnny just silently suffer and drink their coffee. They are just not happy. On a side note: The quality seem to be better and let's wait some more episodes to judge finally. Some pics: Pictures are mainly from Tumblr. See you tomorrow.

Certainly. Well, someone messed up with the episodes on the Internet Archive. Had to look quickly for another source to download. The minor problem is a small water sign on the left corner but I can live with that. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to download it at all. And besides, it's only one episode!!! Now here we are: S06E02 Not Available Summary: Roy and John complain about the rule that forbids squads from crossing each other's territories, which delayed their arrival, at a heart patient almost to the point of death while the squad assigned to that area dealt with a hypochondriac; after it John was speaking to Dr. Brackett about this. Later they respond to a traffic accident while transporting a non-emergency patient due to the responding Squad being 20 minutes away. An elderly woman demands a "older doctor" to see her later; when Dr. Brackett visits, while Dixie is around, who asks that she needs to lay back quietly and rest, her daughter has a heart attack. An escaped prisoner gets trapped on a ledge. — Gary Richard Collins II (on IMDB) The paramedics complain when a rule forbidding squads to cross each other's territories causes them to come late to an accident scene. An elderly woman is treated at the hospital. While transporting a non-vital patient, the paramedics respond to an auto accident. A prisoner breaks out of jail and gets trapped on a ledge. (taken from here again) Thoughts: We start with Roy and Johnny doing their chores at the station while listening to the radio chatter. Soon enough they are called out to an area where another squad (39) should be but they are dealing with another patient. During their long run and dealing with a heart attack, Johnny and Roy almost lose their patient while Squad 39 dealt with a hypochondriac. Johnny approaches Dr. Brackett with this problem who says it's the law but he's thinking about it. Back at the station, they also discuss it but then it comes to money when all firefighters are also paramedics. Johnny still eats meanwhile and thinks it's chicken, yet Mike calmly says it's tuna - twice. The squad then gets called to a fainted woman while the engine deals with a serious injured man at a traffic accident. The responding squad takes too long, so Johnny and Roy speak with Dr. Brackett to help Engine 51. They get the permission and also right on time it seems. At Rampart, an elderly lady (with her daughter) only wants to be treated by an 'older doctor' and so Dr. Brackett is even too young. The lady is healthy but her daughter has had an heart attack but the mother is more concerned about her schedule. The last call takes the station to helping the CHP with an escaped prisoner on a ledge. Roy deals with him while the others help from above and down. They got him in the end, tough he wouldn't want to be touched at all. Roy hurts his shoulder and gets examined by Dr. Early while Johnny just watches. Then Dr. Brackett joins them and asks if they have time next Tuesday for some speech at a paramedic convention - to change the rules. Nice. Some pics: So, that's it. More I couldn't find it obviously. Mainly from Tumblr again. See you tomorrow!

Well, at least you found it.
I've used the Internet Archive to track down and watch stuff myself.
