God, you are gonna say something heartfelt because you think we're gonna die, and I don't wanna cry right now. I might say something hateful - you don't know. Yes, I do. I know what you're going to say.

The Rookie | 7.08 'Wildfire'

the rookie writers having Smitty refer to Lucy as Tamaras parent and Lucy not even slightly deny it, shutting up all the haters that try to minimize Tamaras importance in Lucys life, is the best thing they've written all year

[letsbekidsagainithinkididitwrong]

Once again thinking about how funny it was that The Rookie had to write out Tims sister because she had so much chemistry with John that the audience forgot Bailey existed

[letsbekidsagainithinkididitwrong]

bringing this up since she's coming back, you want me to be interested in Johns love life then give me this love triangle

[letsbekidsagainithinkididitwrong]

the addition of Bailey to the Rookie was crazy because they cast Jenna Dewan, one of the most talented and beautiful women in Hollywood, and then they wrote the character to be this cool tough former military lieutenant, and she's supposed to be Johns dream girl and perfect match, but then they wanted to make her sympathetic/relatable and gave her an abusive ex and tried to make her seem so clueless that she can't tell the difference between a dog and a fricken coyote? and then they had John only thinking about proposing but having no real plans to, followed by Bailey impulsively proposing and an engagement that was dragged out lamely and long, with the written reason that they couldn't agree on anything about the wedding, making it look like they didn't even want to get married, and then they said "no it's fine they're getting married and she's here to stay". the inconsistency of her character and their relationship has made it very lackluster; I'll never complain about Jenna Dewan on my screen and Bailey is great and there's nothing technically wrong with her and John's relationship, but they could have done something more with it and it doesn't hit the spot you want for your shows lead characters romantic plotline.

I'm still living a few episodes ago. Like this actually happened:

Buck: I found out Tommy led Abby on for a long time, then dumped her abruptly and broke her heart and am concerned.

Josh: It's okay that he did that because he's gay.

Buck: Oh. Okay. I will commit to him fully then.

Tommy, moments later: I led you on for several months and am now abruptly dumping you and breaking your heart.

How did Buck not march into dispatch ready to throw hands with Josh immediately??????

[letsbekidsagainithinkididitwrong]

Can we talk about how it's canon that Chimney and Buck are both blabbermouths? That they both become power hungry tyrants when given a little authority at the station? How they're both big hearted guys who love cheering up their friends? And how Eddie and Maddie are both the big-brown-eyed eldest sibling who raised their little sibling(s), got into toxic marriages too young, spouses died, both with a history of working in the medical field, followed by transitioning into a first responder career? How Maddie and Buck only had each other and they say you end up with someone just like the person who raised you? How Maddie married one of Bucks best friends who he is so similar to, and how Buck has chosen Eddie as his partner in life, and how Madney and Buddie parallel not just as couples in the Friends to Coparents to Lovers sense, but as individual people?

Now what do you mean Eddie started his spiral when Buck told him he was dating Tommy and then he found joy again when Buck and Tommy broke up…

WHAT DO YOU MEAN

My Eddie Diaz Alex the Lion comparison was a joke at first but I’m watching Madagascar 2 and Alex’s dad expecting him to be one type of lion and then being annoyed by him being a dancer and performer instead of a fighter is just a crazy metaphor for having trouble accepting your gay son and making him feel rejected and it’s also worth noting how much of the movie Alex spent with a fruit hat on his head

OUR SOPHIE BECKETT!! LETS FUCKING GO!!!

[bucksbeagle]

literally i am nothing if not the friend who always hates her friends' lameass boyfriends and buck is my friend so i literally have to it's like the law or something

EXACTLY MY POINT THANK YOU

[letsbekidsagainithinkididitwrong]

The Bee Movie is about a woman with a disrespectful arrogant boyfriend who doesn’t understand her, finding a supportive relationship with someone she never expected whom she can actually rely on and encourages her in all the ways her boyfriend dismisses her, all while that someone she can rely on is discovering himself and breaking traditions and stereotypes and becoming who he’s meant to bee, and I think that’s very relevant to the Buddie story actually

[letsbekidsagainithinkididitwrong]

Eddie being ‘in the closet’ at this point is more like Alex the lion from Madagascar, he’s totally aware that there’s an ‘outside’ but why would he ever want to leave? people like the zoo animal, the wild might not be friendly, he’s safe and loved where he is, he doesn’t want to know what he’s missing, but once he gets a taste he’ll be biting Buck on the ass

(kinda funny that since Eddie was introduced during s2, this happened for all 3 parings in the their second season together)
