The Kind Of Posts I Have Seen On Here Since The Last Episode Aired (and Let’s Be Honest For A LONG

i think this will either go one of two ways. either A) they see the backlash, realize it's not going to go away, and reverse bobby's death, (cmon you're gonna risk losing angela basset?) saving the very little face they have left for their very popular show. or B) they won't have the balls to tell Tim Minear to change the story and he runs the show into the ground. either the show will become incredibly grief stricken and depressing that it's not fun to watch anymore or they're going to move on so quickly from Bobby it feels unnatural and the show will feel incredibly soulless.

Angela Bassett has already said she doesn't see a world where Athena and Bobby don't end up together at the end of the show. the interviews have revealed that literally everybody (the cast, the crew, the execs) did not think this was a good idea. we know there were multiple endings filmed, that the execs had to talk Minear out of a 4 minute helicopter chase scene in the middle of an episode when they couldn't even be bothered to show eddie once, and the deadline article points out that this was a this was "the biggest risk Tim has ever taken in his 30 year career." people apparently understood this was an incredibly risky and stupid move.

and as much as i would like to hold onto all of that, i think there's a very real, simple, and terrifying possibility that they're not going to reverse this and that the show is going to be run into the ground, despite all of the obvious reasons not to.

i think the best thing to do is keeping up the pressure because there are so many cracks in this already that it's very possible we could fix if we don't let it die.

i'm sorry for the dramatics, but i really don't wanna lose this show to a bad writing decision, especially not when i feel like there is something we can do and this could maybe be reversed.



drop your username bitch i’ve had it

Eddie’s pov of buck is Buck supporting him and caring for him and encouraging him. I’m soooooooooo

Chim is never in a Million years going to let Eddie live down falling for Freddie Fakeman

the thing is. there was a way to write the bucktaylor breakup in a much more coherent way that didn't make buck look an unreasonable freak. it's simple -- when hen and chimney ask bobby and athena how they knew where they were, have bobby and athena tell them that they got a lot of 911 calls from jonah's neighbors who heard suspicious noises and were moved to call 911 because they heard about him from the evening news. cut to reveal: taylor kelly aired the segment about jonah before they caught him.

this way, the buck/taylor conflict becomes much more meaty and complex: taylor legitimately would have betrayed buck's trust in this instance and gone behind his back, but she also would've been vindicated in her choice to do so because it saved hen & chim's lives. thus they both have points, and they break up over the fact that they have irreconcilable priorities -- taylor will always choose the truth & the greater good, and buck will always value interpersonal trust more.

the problem with the way it was written in the show is that by the time taylor did the segment on jonah, he was already caught and she knew he was already caught, and thus all of buck's reasons for not wanting her to do the segment (#1: they didn't have 100% proof; #2: airing the segment could make jonah target hen & chim) were null and void at that point. so buck looks like a whiny unreasonable asshole when actually for once i don't think he's supposed to, i think we're supposed to think it's a moral gray area. but it's not. because they wrote it bad. but it would've been SO EASY to write it well, and that's what makes it so frustrating.

..... I don't have to want to sleep with everyone i have feeling for...... BUCK, DID YOU JUST ACCIDENTALLY ADMIT SOMETHING?

buck is so so good at the bits of parenting that eddie is struggling with at the moment, and eddie sees that as a personal failing on his part because he thinks he has to be everything to chris at once. but actually they can both parent chris, they can complement each other!!! he just hasn't realised that yet but he's so so close!!!!

eddie went to the seeley booth school of being actively behind the wheel but only staring at his passenger princess instead of the road
