Okay Btw The Parallels Between Someone Who's Lost Literally Their Voice And Eddie Who's Lost His Voice

the whole fucking point is that buck would sacrifice everything for eddie and eddie would sacrifice everything for buck AND they would both sacrifice everything, INCLUDING EACH OTHER, for chris. that's the whole point. that's how buck is finally going to realize that he has a family with them and how eddie and chris are going to realize buck is theirs. it's literally the whole fucking point!!!!!!!!!!! nobody loses here

A List of Events I am Manifesting or Predicting for Tonight's Episode of 9-1-1: 8x10

JLH is going to be giving us one of her best performances to date. Maddie is going to be an absolute badass and finds a way to get herself out.

I am generally not a fan of physical violence, especially depictions of men hitting women, but I think Chimney should be allowed to get (1) hit in on Amber when he realizes she was the one to take Maddie

For the love of all things good, please no miscarriage storyline as a consequence of whatever this woman is going to do to Maddie. I need this to be a happy pregnancy, and they welcome another little girl into the family that they name Joy. Please and thank you

Buck crashes out about potentially losing another person he loves AGAIN

The 118 comforting Buck and Chim and reassuring them that Maddie will be okay and that they'll find her

Chimney struggling with knowing what to do and how to talk to their daughter about mommy being missing

This is one thing I saw mentioned by another creator, and I love the idea: Jee-Yun, being the only other person home at the time, may hold the key to finding Maddie in some way.

Buck and Chimney teaming up with Athena to find Maddie

NO MADDIE NDE PLEASE

Buck is going to help Eddie pack for his move to El Paso

Eddie is going to give Buck his couch. I might spontaneously combust with this one. Honestly, though, if they don't do this, it feels like the couch talk was for nothing. If it happens, I would also like this silent moment after Eddie offers Buck the couch where they both kinda recognize what it means, but neither one is ready to acknowledge it out loud.

I feel like the goodbye scene between Buck and Eddie is going to be shot and cut in such a way that it is a direct parallel to his goodbye scene with Abby.

Buck will go back to Eddie's place– his place– and will probably end up drinking a beer alone and crying on the couch :(

"dad would be so proud of you" is literally not a complement considering he was an abusive acholic asshole and bobby was the one who found him dead. not a complment and most likely a way to try to manipulate bobby. fuck that actualy

hereditary alcoholism. childhood ice skating stardom. con artist mother. who's doing it like the nash family?

i haven't watched the ep (yet) but friendly reminder that DID is one of the most misunderstood disorders in media, and that people with DID are NOT evil or dangerous. the most likely person they hurt is themselves, not the people around them. it's fucking disgusting that 911 is demonising an already heavily-misrepresented disorder, shame on them.

I think the conversation about having stakes in the show with Bobby's death is ultimately irrelevant to the issue at hand and doesn't make sense as an argument in this case because it's not what people are actually upset about. Me personally? Love a show with stakes. I have other shows I watch where I actively root for a character death at times, even if it's a character I enjoy, because I think it would make for narratively interesting consequences. The difference with that though is those are shows where the stakes have always been there. Where they're baked into the DNA of the show and the universe it's existing in. This is not true for 911. Yeah sure there have been some minor character deaths, yeah there's a lot of dangerous situations the main characters are in, but it is a huge tonal shift to kill off one of the most central characters to the show in a very sudden way with an extremely depressing ending for him that does not match the previous themes of the show about found family and being there for each other. So I don't enjoy Bobby's death playing out the way it did even if that means the stakes are more exciting because that's not the story we've been told for 8 years now and to me is just yet another sign that the production team has lost sight of what made 911 the show it is.

i would love to know what the people complaining about their acting choices would want them to do. like do you want them to stand there and announce every emotion they're going through at any moment? it's in the look back. it's in the slight twinge to their smiles. the awkward waving of the arms. the eyelashes fluttering. the nervous scratching. the writing choices. the confusion as the distance grows. it's all there and if you can't interpret that, it's on you

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