I thought a lot about how I would feel once I finished 9-1-1.
Although I wanted to turn the page, but i had to watch the last two episodes hoping to change my mind.
I loved the final scene in 4x13, the idea of the camera turning on them, them looking at each other, the absence of music.
I wondered how they can get back from this.They knew what they were doing and although it wasn't just them on stage, I only saw them, thanks to their undeniable chemistry.
We arrive at the 4x14 episode… full of nice words, but nothing concrete.
- You become Cristopher's legal guardian,
- Eddie worrying that Buck is hurt,
- The collapse of buck,
- Waking up in the hospital,
- Eddie calling Buck "Evan"
- You act like you’re expendable, but you’re wrong
We do not get to realize anything.
The scenes feel a lot more like a slow burn than a friendship, but by now we know that it isn't.
This is a queerbait.
Every now and then they give the fans a sop, every now and then they take a step forward and then 10 back.
Because the reality is that they don't know how to put them together, they don't know how to make a couple out of nothing. Sorry, I meant that they don't know how to create a couple made up of same-sex characters.
As I always say if they were a man and a woman we won't even be talking about them.
In 2021 they don't know how to do it, it sucks.
But again they prefer a silly (in this case) straight relationship, than trying to see how it could have gone.
We can also talk about Ana, who is swept away by Buck's bulky presence. How their story has neither a beginning nor an end. How she looks more like a piece of furniture than a character.
Nobody cares that they don't like them, nobody cares that they don't have chemistry, it just matters that they are together. Even after Carla's words that at this point they could not put.
We get to the kisses of Buck and Taylor (I repeat I love the character of Taylor) but even here it seems very forced.
There is no story between them, there is nothing now. At least they could have actually made them friends and then developed the story. Instead we find ourselves at the starting point, an undeveloped story just to not prove nothing else.
Was it necessary for the plot? No, definitely not, but after all the buddie scenes, balance had to be restored.
Buck is straight, Eddie is straight, there are no other possibilities.
The point is that we are satisfied with the crumbs.
Because at the end of the day the problem isn't the chemistry between Buck and Eddie, it's that they are two men.
I wanted to end this show but I kept coming back.
I was hoping it wasn't a queerbait, but it is.
Now I'm ready to let go.
It was a good ride.
