Buddie happening would absolutely be the point at which I would stop watching the show. If Buck and Tommy break up it would be sad, I´d hate it but as long as Tommy is no main the possibility is there just because Lou could take on other gigs. Also ABC could decide at any time that they want Buck back with a women eventually. I could live with that. But Buck and Eddie getting together would add nothing to the show other than fanservice to the worst crowd of shippers I have ever seen and a convenient solution to Tims problem of 7 seasons now- no real idea (or interest in finding out) what to do with Eddie other than letting him hang around Buck.
I agree with you! I just feel like they've made such a big deal with Tommy last season, it would be such a shame for them to break this off just for Buck to find yet another love interest (doesn't matter if a woman or man I agree!). And let's be honest, if it's not Eddie, the buddies will just find another victim to ridicule. We've seen it doesn't matter what gender they have.
And yeah, absolutely, if they made buddie happen... it would cause so many more issues. I mean ANOTHER queer character? I think the general audience will probably not appreciate it. Also, all this talk about how beautiful emotional male friendships can be. And how a queer character can just be friends with their male friend. It's such a good representation. And let's be honest, I get why Buck turned out the way he has, but Eddie has never really given me that vibe. But who knows, not like we're in control with that 😄
