Buck Is So So Good At The Bits Of Parenting That Eddie Is Struggling With At The Moment, And Eddie Sees

1x10 // 8x10

Coping HARD rn

"are you?" maddie stfu ik you're so done with him

WHERE IS SHE?

WHERE DID THEY TOOK HER?

‘bad credit score shopaholic’ buck and ‘just let me buy this shed real quick’ eddie are made for each other, i don’t know what to tell you. i hope they make horrendous financial decisions together for the rest of their lives

Hey yo guys- so what the actual everloving FUCK did we just watch-

Nonono because- alright let’s- take a moment shall we LETS FUCKING BREATHE for a moment and think about how the only time someone has addressed the fucking Godzilla in the room was Maddie fucking Buckley IN SEASON 2 and it was a haha joke

It’s not a haha joke anymore I fear ITS NOT A HAHA JOKE GUYS BECAUSE to have two separate characters in one episode be like “you’re in love with Eddie Diaz” and one of them is your ex boyfriend. who was FRIENDS with him. Who Eddie apparently dropped like chopped liver -HIS ONLY OTHER FRIEND BESIDES BUCK- the moment you two weren’t a thing anymore and the other is your long suffering sister who has watched this is unravel since the moment she stepped foot in godamn LA, TO HAVE BOTH OF THESE PEOPLE BE LIKE ????you have feelings for Eddie Diaz ??????? And Buck being completely unhinged “I don’t have to sleep with everyone I have feelings for” my brother in Christ that sure was a sentence you just said what are we even talking about at this point we’re just saying words “he’s straight” WERE JUST SAYING WORDS I need to be shot in broad daylight through the eyeball goodbye-

Can we also admit that even if somehow Bobby is alive how would this have been good writing because we know Tim is not capable these days of writing character driven arcs so if Bobby were to come back then essentially we used SIX episodes…252 minutes….4.2 hours of screen time for a non permanent NDE that essentially served to change things up aka find a new Captain for the 118 and if that was the point then there are many different ways this could have been done and still move the characters forward compared to what ever this disaster was. Also, even if they somehow pull off more of an exploration of grief in the last two episodes it will still be completely overshadowed for how poorly executed Bobby’s actual death and funeral were….the man’s funeral was literally treated like the C plot of the episode…..and the actual 118 that Bobby built felt like guest stars in an episode that should have felt like us mourning with the Firefam. Gerrard wasn’t even around when Bobby got to the 118 so miss me with that shit…..

something about eddie’s voice when he says "you really did that for me?". the emphasis on for me. he’s not surprised that buck would do something so selfless and kind. he sees that everyday. but it’s the fact that buck did it for him. and for christopher. he spent the whole episode acting like he didn’t want eddie to leave and then he turned around and did the one thing that eddie needed. he had his back

Ok we’re slowly making progress. We went from “You do matter to me” to “I appreciate you Buck.” Soon we’ll get an actual “I love you Buck”
