Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAbout 20 minutes into this episode there is a shot of the exterior of the 'art gallery' where the heist is about to take place. This building is in fact the beautiful Walt Disney Concert Hall at 111 South Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, California, designed by Frank Gehry, architect of the similarly metal clad Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, museum of modern art, in Bilbao, northern Spain. Gehry had actually wanted to clad the facade of the building in stone, so that the building would glow at night, whereas metal goes dark at night, but the committee overseeing the project insisted on a metal facade, so taken were they by the look of the Guggenheim in Bilbao.
- GoofsThe story of this episode starts at 8am and covers a couple hours. Near the end, when the cops first show up, it is night. Shortly after that when everyone is coming outside, it is daylight again.

Featured review
"The Taking of Dispatch 9-1-1"
What a sensational episode! Even better than the LA tsunami episodes at the start of the season. Which isn't something I thought I would be typing! Absolutely top-notch storytelling.
A tense, taut, heart-pounding episode that really allowed the 9-1-1 dispatch centre operators to be the star of the show, when they so often play second-fiddle to Athena and the 118 truck guys. In "The Taking of Dispatch 9-1-1" they are the centre of all the action. There wasn't a second I wasn't on the edge of my seat as a gang of gun-toting mercenaries overran the Dispatch Centre.
With limited screen time, Chim and Buck were great, forced to stand on the sidelines for a change, unable to do much of anything to effect the outcome of things.
