WOW. WOW. WOW.
lloeffel5 April 2024
One of the best episodes!! (and I have never come on here to rate before!) It had it all. And it hit every emotion! It was so character driven, but even without seeing every call they were on. It still felt like we were there! Kudos to all the actors for that. The writing and directing on this episode was outstanding! Reminded me of the first episodes. I loved the close ups! And it included several night scenes which really add to the authenticity. I love this show soo much! I have watched from the very beginning...the only show I follow on broadcast TV. And I think it has so much more for us to enjoy!

Thank you Stefania, Sybil and Mellow.
camilaalmeidaaguiar5 April 2024
Stefania, you are an incredible actress and director, today you once again showed your talent to the world, you deserve all the success. You were born for this. Love you and thank you for all your input. Sybil, you brought the essence of the series back. We can only be grateful for that. The best ever episode. You guys were awesome. It should continue to be you for the rest of the series, it was the most connected episode of all. This show deserves to be saved, there are so many stories yet to be explored that have major impacts on our society and should be represented/portrayed.

Please, save Station 19.

So proud of stefania

Warning: Spoilers
What an intense episode I got a little teary eyed poor becket and Vic is going through something. Ben has a back injury I'm guessing from falling through the roof. Love seeing marina at home with Liam I think it will be Kate and Theo who leave 19 with the budget cuts. Maya baby proofing the house already love how they address how difficult it is firefighting the toll it takes on their bodies and their minds. I still can't believe the alphabet network wants to cancel this amazing show. They deserve more seasons can't wait for the 100th episode next week. I love the little moments too they make me happy.

One of the most creatively strong episodes ever!
leahl-19196 April 2024
I don't think we're going to recover from this episode for a long time to come. We'd been counting down the days until we got to see 'directed by Stefania Spampinato' on our screens, but nothing could've prepared us for the pure brilliance that we got to witness. A combination of first-class acting, a supremely written script, and genius camera shots has left us all blown away by the artistry that was created.

Stefania took her network tv directorial debut to unexpected levels, and while we all knew she was capable, none of us anticipated just how remarkable the results would be. The thought and effort that went into each individual frame had a profound impact on an immaculate script and had us feeling all the emotions. We were able to pick up on so many things that the words weren't saying, and we were enraptured by every single second.

The episode also marked a network tv writing debut for Sybil Azur who co-wrote one of the most amazing scripts we've ever seen with Mellow Brown. Every single word hit the nail on the head, felt important, and felt fitting to what we were watching unfold. The understanding they had for each individual character enabled us to immerse ourselves in their stories in a way we never had before. We truly got to appreciate what makes the people of nineteen who they are.

7x04 had everything that we've been missing. It reminded us why we love this show and these characters so much, and it reminded us just how profound these stories are. It reminded us why we're fighting so hard to #SaveStation19!

A MASTERPIECE
snera-344136 April 2024
One of the best Station 19 episodes of all time. The writing was so beautiful, full of emotion, and really took me on a rollercoaster.

Stefania did incredibly well in her directorial debut. This is definitely a director whose journey and work I will continue to follow. The shots and transitions were so powerful. I felt intimately close to and understanding of the struggles of each character. I felt their emotions so much....

The collaborative effort of the team behind the cameras on this one reminded me of the early station 19 days. Kudos to the writers and the director...what a masterpiece!

One of the best S19 episodes ever!
gemmapryde6 April 2024
Wow! What an episode! Sybil and Mellow's excellent script was so wonderfully brought to life by Stefania's fresh approach to directing on her networks tv debut. Every member of the cast brought their 'A' game to this episode. We could feel their day get progressively worse even though we often didn't see the incident on screen

This was Station19 at its absolute best. The episode had it all and you could clearly see on screen by the words being spoken and the shots that were chosen that the cast and crew put their heart and soul into this one.

If ever a show needs saved it's this one. This episode alone shows that there are so many more stories left to tell.

Excellent episode from start to finish.

A masterpiece
liended6 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
What a beautiful epsiode!!

It was filled with action, emotions, conversations, .... It is my favourite epsiode (of this season) so far. It all felt really smooth and it flowed really well.

We finally had marina conversations, it felt like we hadn't really had that so far this season. So I'm really happy we got to see them this epsiode.

We have vic struggling, we have Beckett opening up, we have captain Herrera dealing with issues, we have Ross who is facing some problems because of her relationship with Sullivan, ben is dealing with this health,... So much happening in just 43 minutes. I hope the rest of the season goes further in the same style as this epsiode.

I really enjoyed it and I know that it's going to be one I will keep re-watching.

Why we need Station 19
baileyh-884456 April 2024
If anyone wants to know why we are fighting so damn hard to save Station 19 they need to watch 7x04. This representation we get on television is huge. I wish growing up I saw two wives figuring out parenthood. Talking about their fears. Fears of raising a child in a world full of hate. It's very real issues. It's raw emotions.

And that's just talking about the wlw representation. That's not talking about the mental health representation we got as well. How it is so important to check in on your family and friends. When you start to see a change reach out. When it gets dark it gets dark fast. Station 19 shine lights on real and raw issues that so many of us face. It's one of the reasons why we NEED Station 19. Television NEEDS Station 19. The WORLD NEEDS Station 19.

Mind blowing
maribth6 April 2024
A masterpiece! Undoubtedly this one goes to the list of the best episodes of Station 19! Remarkable...The combination of Sybil Azur, Mellow Brown and Stefania Spampinato was explosive. All the main characters were insanely talented in each take and the result of it all was shown with the episode's ratings. I hope they save Station 19 or let the show go to another place, cause it's a bless to se so many talented and dedicated people acting behind and in front of the cameras. I would love to see the brilliance of Stefania's directing skills in many other episodes. Women directing are goals... rich scenes, details, sensibility... we definitely need more women directing to put the show above the top! This episode was the classic example of how a great script can make each member of cast and crew spark and rip their skins to put the maximum potential on 43 minutes of pure emotion.

Wow just Wow
mtgpvng6 April 2024
I have no words just simply breathtaking from the writing to the superb directing of Stefania Spampinato brought to life by a superb cast. The way she used close up shots to convey the feelings of the characters as they each went through such a tough time during numerous calls and merl dandrige conveying so much without a single word WOW. It makes no sense that a show as good as this and with such a following week after week continuing to return the viewing figures even though it's in a difficult spot of 10pm is still cancelled and has yet not been picked up. This show is an absolute gem I call it a show but it's not just a show and 704 proved that.

Best Station 19 episode ever
stefndani6 April 2024
I'm on my 8th rewatch of last night's #Station19 episode and, honestly, it just gets better and better with each viewing. In her TV directorial debut, Stefania Spampinato truly delivered! The raw emotions, the intense action, the tender moments, the brilliant dialogue, and amazing camera work make this my favorite episode ever.

The collaboration between DP Brian Garbellini and director Stefania was a match made in heaven. The shot selection, camera angle choices, the intentionally chaotic aerial camera work around Andy...all of it was simply brilliant.

That was one of the best hours of TV I've ever seen. I know I am biased, but that was a true masterpiece. Stefania's natural, deep empathy was poured into every actor & evident in every scene. There was so much going on and it all came together brilliantly! Bravissima bella!

I'm in awe
marwaalkylani6 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The episode was amazing. The writing was brilliant they gave every character had their time to show where they at no one lift to the said. The directing was perfect the closeup shots WOW we could feel what each character felt specially with Victoria and Ross.

For Stefania to direct a marina scenes (multiple not just mute one) was a blessing. The Carina "I don't believe in cuddling the kids" made an appearance and I'm so grateful for it and this Carina been directed by Stefania was amazing.

7x04 proved to be one of station19 best episodes wonderful work form everyone. Stefania's vision of what the Station19 represents was beautifully done.

An outstanding episode
kbdcb6 April 2024
An absolutely outstanding episode in the history of Station 19! The amazing script by Sybil and Mellow gave a great base for the episode and Stefania's vision and directorial choices lifted the episode to a whole new level. A great balance between action, heartbreaking emotions and comedic scenes. So many emotions are flowing due to the close ups and I felt pulled into the narrative. The camera work is truly outstanding: amazing shots, angles and cuts throughout the whole episode! Moreover, not only Stefania directed the episode, but she directed herself through many long scenes as well. I'm in awe for her work! I have already rewatched the episode many times, but I just can't get enough of this masterpiece. Stefania: BRAVA and thank you for this amazing episode!!

Best episode of any season
azshades7 April 2024
In my opinion this was the best episode of all seasons. This episode had every emotion come out that one has. The stories were so well written. Cast and crew did excellent in bringing those true feelings we actually have and go thru everyday to life. Had the viewers themselves there with them. Station 19 deserves to be renewed. There are many more stories to be brought to life, to help generations old and new, communities, people in general be able to understand and see beyond how life used to be and how life is now and Stefania Spampinato - Director brought her visions of how she sees it and feelings of realness. Thank you to all involved in this episode. Well done.

AWESOME! JUST AWESOME!
magsbowls7 April 2024
What a fantastic episode. Every single person involved deserves huge credit. Stefania Spampinato's directorial debut was simply immense.

The action was gripping and each element of the storyline was beautifully portrayed. A tumultuous rollercoaster ride of emotions throughout.

The fear and angst of Herrera and the firefighting team as they were called out time after time was palpable.

The mirth and playfulness of Ross and Sullivan providing a little light in dark times.

The depth of feeling portrayed in Hughes so heartfelt.

The emotion displayed by Beckett so surprising yet heartwarming.

The combination of fear, fun, love and trust between Carina and Maya, so meaningful and indicative of their growth.

Everything about this episode was truly awesome. Well done cast and crew and a big FANTASTIC WORK to director Stefania Spampinato who has given us what could possibly be the best ever episode!

Amazing directorial debut for Stefania Spampinato
soleda_b7 April 2024
Phenomenal episode from start to finish.

Big round of thank yous to everyone who made it possible to put on an amazing, mind-blowing episode.

Congrats to Mellow and Sybil for the amazing script.

Huge congratulations to Stefania Spampinato who directed the best Station19 episode ever.

Thank you Stefania also for having passed brilliantly and with a phenomenal result the test of being in multiple scenes of Carina and directing at the same time.

Stefania was amazing in her directorial debut.

She was able to demonstrate that if you really want to do something, you can do it by following your instincts, your ideas and your feelings.

She managed to both act and direct, demonstrating once again, if needed, the immense talent, skills and qualities that have always distinguished her.

Nei vocabolari, sotto la voce fenomeno, dovrebbero mettere una foto della Spampi.

Ha dimostrato, ancora una volta, che volere è potere.

Grazie di esistere Stefania.

one of the best episode of Station 19 - top 5 fav
pvttc8 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
There are so many great scenes, lines, camera angles, emotions in this one. Made extra special since this was directed by Stefania Spampinato (Dr Carina DeLuca). Everyone played their roles beautifully and if you haven't seen an episode recently, watch this one. It will remind you why the show is extraordinary and necessary on tv.

We finally get to see pivotal moments for this season unfold, Theo's shocking resignation, Vic being emotionally checked out and indifferent, Beckett truly feeling every emotion, Ross fighting to keep the city safe and balance her own personal life. Andy trying to keep her family together just as her father did but at the same time, finding new ways to do it since their family has grown in many ways. I loved the episode. Please tune in and keep watching.

A masterful episode
paolacv7 April 2024
This is without a doubt my favorite episode of the series and in my opinion one of the best. The splendid work of the team involved made this episode a rollercoaster of emotions for those of us who were fortunate enough to see it. From the writing, the magic began to be created, an episode full of many nuances, complex in many ways and truly overwhelming, an episode with a lot to tell.

And at this point I must say that the direction by Stefania Spampinato was masterful, an direction that did justice to everything that was wanted to be told there, her vision is something splendid. The way in which they carefully gave each character the necessary prominence to tell what they were going through, without neglecting any of them for a single moment is admirable, they focused on showing everything without neglecting absolutely anything, something that can rarely be done. Achieve.

The close-ups, the approach of the camera, to the characters when they were facing such dark moments for them allowed us viewers to feel and experience everything they were going through, it was a very emotional episode, which touched very sensitive chords in my that they are not easily accessible and I applaud that. The calls are usually somewhat shocking because of what we see, but experiencing a call because of what the firefighters were talking about on the radio and that based only on what we heard, it would be so devastating was really impressive, a heartbreaking scene, done with so much care that although it will be distressing it was impossible not to enjoy it.

In general, about this episode I applaud the care with which it was made, the attention to detail in each of its scenes and the breaking with the standards to which we were accustomed, in my opinion it was very different from what we have seen in the series.

Standing applause.

Another outstanding episode
cassiepitt7 April 2024
Wow! This episode was absolutely phenomenal. It might just be my all-time favorite from the entire series. Stefania's directing was nothing short of magical. Every scene was masterfully crafted, drawing me in completely. From the breathtaking cinematography to the flawless performances, it was a true work of art. The way Stefania captured the emotions of the characters and brought the story to life was simply remarkable. I found myself completely immersed in the narrative, unable to look away for even a moment. It's episodes like these that remind me why I fell in love with this show in the first place. Stefania's talent as a director shines brightly, and I can't wait to see more of her work in the future. This episode will undoubtedly be remembered as a standout moment in television history.

Station 19 is back
sixsais7 April 2024
Possibly one of the best episodes this series has ever produced. From a fantastic script that gave us every element we love about Station 19 (humor, a frantic rhythm, good dialogue, important topics, Marina...) to Stefania Spampinato's brilliant debut as a network television director in what has become a fan favorite hour of television. A roller coaster that had us experience the bone chilling effect of a tragic call, the consequences of budget cuts affecting first responders' ability to do their job, all interlaced with the comedy and lightness that the changes in Maya and Carina's relationship brought as the B plot of the episode. Trouble Man is easily one of the Top 5 episodes of the series.

Trouble, Trouble, Trouble
eldenelotter6 April 2024
Marvin Gaye sings, "Don't care 'bout no trouble, got myself together. I feel the kind of protection that's all around me", which sums up the episode for me perfectly. Station 19 is a family that will always protect each other even through all their troubles, they are there for each other. Everyone in this episode had their own troubles to conquer and some overcame them and some didn't by the end of it. It was materfully portrayed by each character. Andy having everything possible thrown at her as the new Captain, Ben having to come to terms with not being as young as he once was, Beckett doing the job as a newly sober man, Vic's supression of emotions finally coming to a breaking point, Theo realising 19 is not his home anymore, Ross having to still deal with an impossible task that was backtracked on by the Mayor. But really it was the shared fears between Maya and Carina that cemented the episode. Coming to terms with the dangers of the job while starting a family is a fear Maya was reluctant to confess but voiced it in the comfort of their new home. Carina fears losing both the loves of her life and her wife not wanting what she clearly still wants. It was just a brilliantly written episode by Mellow Brown and Sybil Azur and directed by our very own Stefania Spampinato. An episode that will go down as one of Station 19's best.

CHAOS just CHAOS
Rogue_mms6 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Episode 4: showed Station 19 be overwhelmed with chaos because Kate said the "Q" word. Each person had something they were dealing with. Captain Andy Herrera trying to save her family save her house literally SAVE Station 19. You have Theo trying to apologize to Vic for kissing Kate. Which does not bode well with 19. Then Ben who is the patriarch of 19 having back problems. Travis calling him out in front of 19! Ben not wanting to admit to anyone that his body is breaking down. You get Sean having a heartbreaking moment after returning from a call. Since he's sober he doesn't know how to cope. Then Sully and him are each other's support by finding comfort in reading the Serenity Prayer. HOPE! We see Vic so broken she takes off her watch and falls asleep just to forget about the chaos that surrounds her. My HEART! Here goes Chief Ross being consumed with so many fires going on that you see her aggravated by all the things she's dealing with. When Sully asks if the reason things are astray is because of their relationship she takes it as hers to bear. Damn! The chaos at 19 wasn't just felt in house but outside with Maya and Carina. We get Carina sleep deprived tensions a bit high and Maya consumed with baby proofing their home. Maya takes off from being questioned returns home to Carina upset. In the midst of this the door is inadvertently locked. Liam is crying! Now what....a glimpse of light when Maya opens the truck of Carina's car that isn't locked. HEARTWARMING! Then you have to go and play a game called "Truth or Scared". Hmmm....where if you're scared you have to tell the truth. In this scene Maya is scared she's going to die on the job and leave Carina alone to raise Liam. This moment made me cry because I'm a single mom of 3 boys and if I die they have no one but each other. That just kills my heart and soul!

I felt every single emotion going on in this episode. This is a TREMENDOUS Episode! Watch rewatch and rewatch again and again.

Thank YOU Stefania Spampinato for your wondrous directorial debut. YOU definitely did not disappoint. YOU left me wanting more! YOU brought this full blown chaotic energy to life. Thank YOU! Appreciate you! Value YOU!

The best ep of this season yet!!
GT_91810 April 2024
Stefania did an incredible and a phenomenal job with those shoots. The footprint with blood shoot, the way the doors of the truck closes altogether with one quick shot I absolutely loved it. Maya & Carina Bed beautiful scene. I really really enjoyed this episode and I loved it so much. And the writer did an amazing job writing this episode,and what makes this episode an amazing episode? Because the Director is new to the show and so is the writer so they gave us a new some sort of old too, perspective and made it amazing. This really became one of my favorite episodes on the show. I wish you could keep the writing like this cuz it's so entertaining and enjoyable.✨ #Savestation19 #Donotcancelstation19.
