The ship has sailed

“BUT THAT’S NOT THEM!!!!”

HOW can you say that?!?!?! HOW can you sit there and watch Asa say “scrumptious” and “tickety-boo,” bring out the hot cocoa, and then watch Anthony absolutely GEEK OUT over the universe and point out the NIGHTINGALE while they hold hands under the night sky — and then look me dead in the eyes and tell me that’s not them?!?!?!

Like I’m sorry but that is literally their ESSENCE reincarnated into human form. Same souls. Same love. Same ridiculous little mannerisms. They found each other AGAIN. What more do you WANT FROM ME!!!!!!!!

[empireofthesin]

Gobsmacked whenever people say it’s just some random people with their faces. Every single things said it’s them.

[actual-changeling]

well apparently everyone else hates it. i do not. i love it. i love what they did with it, i love that crowley got to choose, i love that he chose humanity, that he did not choose to run away.

because THAT is who he is. he loves his stars and creations, he loves humanity, he loves the messiness, the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful, he loves watching them. he showed jesus all the kingdoms of the world to share that love with someone who he knows already felt it.

in the end, they made that choice together. it's a choice they have made before, over and over, saving humanity over themselves. no god, no angels, no demons, no thousands of years of suffering for all the millions of eternal beings.

personally, i choose to believe that god's last gift to them was integrating them into the fabric of the new universe, so they will find each other in every lifetime. but without anyone watching, without any plan behind it, without senseless suffering, without creating stars just to destroy them.

just the two of them, together, always.

GO hot take apparently

Imagine finding out you have 90 minutes to tie up a love story that's developed over thousands of years. You create something beautifully in character and completely on point for the plot. You pay homage to the original writer's legacy in a fitting and poetic way and create an ending that not only shows the depth of two people's love for each other but the wider love they have for the thing that brought them together in the first place.

And then you go online to find the loudest outcry is that everyone hates it and "THEY DIDN'T EVEN KISS!"

I feel sorry for people who didn't get anything out of that stunning finale.

[weird-goodbyes]

egregiously humorous to me that there was no actual reason to stab Eddie. Like he got stabbed because he prayed and was hot. Abuela died because Eddie prayed and was hot. The mustache died because Eddie prayed and was hot. Eddie STOP praying, we've lost enough.

[maythegeekbewithyou]

Eddie got stabbed because the writers didn’t know what to do with his character. They literally didn’t want to give him a story so they stabbed him and stored him in a little box so he wouldn’t disturb the rest of the plot.

People big mad that Buck is taking care of a kid: what show have you been watching to not have seen this coming since season 1 or at the latest season 2? Buck’s entire arc has been about not feeling like he belongs anywhere and that no one wants him for who he is. He found his family in the 118 but he was always going to have kids one day. Especially after having Chris in his life and meeting Eddie. Not to mention, Theo is a kid that some might say is “hard to love” which Buck has felt and been told his whole life. Taking Theo in and being the guardian (even temporarily) to him and showing Theo he can be loved just how he is, that’s full circle for Buck’s character. AND if you didn’t call that Buck was going to get custody of the donor kid in someway when the storyline aired…? Like I can’t help you and no one else can. That was a big storyline to just have it never come up again. It was inevitable. That’s how tv works.

Also! It’s fucking abc prime time. The target audience is couples and families finally sitting down after a long day. They like kids and they want to see people have families and deal with family drama in their shows. Hence the popularity of so many family shows in the past and present. Yes, not everyone needs to have kids to be happy. I’m definitely one of those people. But I’m not ignorant of the show I watch. It’s not catered to my interests because a single 30 something who doesn’t want kids right now is not the 911 demographic and I’m cool with that.

All this to say, if you are upset because you didn’t want Buck to have kids or get the donor baby then you should have stopped watching years ago. You disappointed yourself by being blind to what was right in front of you.

Also on an unrelated note… Theo is going to be good for buddie. And as much as I wanted a confirmation of some kind, I’m not dooming like I was last year or over winter hiatus because I can actually see the trajectory of this.

Okay rant over. Happy hiatus and stop hating on a good ass episode. We all know what Tim is capable of, so let’s take the win!

[maythegeekbewithyou]

People aren’t mad about Buck taking care of a kid. People are mad the writers try to tell us DNA is more important than anything else and killed off the parents for no other reason than giving Buck a kid he could have gotten from 2838219 other places

[maythegeekbewithyou]

I sure as hell hope they’ll at least do the ADHD story for Buck. Holy hell what a stupid way to do this,

[maythegeekbewithyou]

Oh my God what WAS this episode?

Tim made sure to get the couple allegation in early because it REFRAMES the whole thing. By doing so, we're not watching best friends or brothers searching for each other.

And Eddie didn’t correct the officer.

AND we got the girl asking for his number but he was only thinking of Buck.

Yes, this episode was for buddie fans, but also to bonk the last few dense GA watchers over the head. Wow.

[911onabcbts]

The show will be filming parts of episode 9 in public on October 29th and 30th 🚨

[911onabcbts]

Set video featuring actress Pepi Sonuga (not confirmed but she was the actress in Athena Begins) playing younger Athena.

[maythegeekbewithyou]

That‘s basically the third Athena begins. Meanwhile everyone wants a Ravi or Eddie begins (again) 🙄🙄🙄🙄

if it comes out before the finale airs, kat’s interview is going to go like this.

kat: the goodbye scene in 8x10 was really emotional, but also a bit awkward. what choices went into that scene, specifically the hug?

oliver: were we awkward? i guess we were. yeah Im not sure, to be honest I just read the script and act out what it says. and I guess for that scene tim wanted it to be a bit awkward

ryan: yeah. i mean when you’ve known someone for so long that you’re brothers, its hard to say goodbye right? The scene was actually supposed to be a lot more emotional, but then we talked to tim and thought the awkwardness would play better. like you never thought you would say goodbye to this person right? And I think thats why the hug is so emotional too. its like, youre my best friend, my brother, my pillar of strength. what am I going to do without you in my life? and thats why they dont want to let go. losing that pillar of support isnt nothing, its like losing everything

oliver: 😁☺️🤨 yeah its so hard for them. and I mean thats why buck cant let go I think. and its crushing for buck, I think, when eddie drives away, maybe in a way he doesnt fully understand yet. now what does that mean I dont know. im not really saying one way or another, just that the goodbye affects buck in a way none of his other goodbyes or break ups ever have before.

ryan: 🥰 yeah. and I think it really shows just how vulnerable they can be with each other. like it shows that straight or bi or whatever that nothing can ever change their relationship, they will always be that pillar or support for each other. and you see that in some of the later scenes, not even the distance can knock them down

kat: ✍️✍️✍️✍️✍️ right. speaking of its not nothing, lets go back a bit, to the scene in the truck ….

[its-not-nothing]

Being a 911 fan is crazy because we could be getting buddie roommates and Bobby calling 911 from his coffin and even a buddie almost kiss tonight and the celebrations would be absolutely wild OR Bobby could just be dead dead and Eddie has two lines and we get no good buddie content and we crash out and fall into a pit of despair and some of us decide to give up on the show... Like that stuff isn't for the weak. And it really feels like both options exist right now. Schrodinger's 8x16.

[maythegeekbewithyou]

How did we get from 7x4 - "a love letter to the fans" (which it was!) to 8x16 - "dead MC, fake script page and telling fans via a mom who lost their kid that they're delusional“?

That’s a big fat change on the writer's end…

[sunsetbuddie]

hey remember when bobby died and ryan reposted a fanedit of bobby with a pink bow set to louis armstrong's what a wonderful world. like. everyone else followed the assignment with their weirdly worded goodbye posts but ryan was like i ain't doing all that ✌️🎀 and then remember when bobby's funeral happened and ryan posted a photo of peter like this -> 😃 set to angel by sarah mclachlan with the most unserious caption imaginable. no one's doing it like him actually. man was like, rip to bobby but i'm different

[maythegeekbewithyou]

Ryan: My character isn’t part of this storyline and neither am I.

[tevanbuckley]

new madney baby is gonna have the craziest in utero stories ever. like, oh yeah my mom got her throat slit by a serial killer whilst she was pregnant with me, and my dad? oh he got infected with modified super ebola in a lab explosion.

[coffeeeandbaileys]

i've said this before but i think this show was at its best when the opening season disasters set up some themes/storylines that continued on into the season. i think the tsunami arc was so great not just because those eps themselves were high quality, high drama, great effects, wonderful character moments etc., but because of how the eps set up some stuff that lingered for so many characters. for may, for buck, for chris; just to name a few.

the past few seasons we haven't had that. i enjoyed beenado and the plane landing but if you removed that from the season does it affect anything that's happened since?

[mikeluciraphgabe]

If you’re mad that people are mad that Eddie Diaz isn’t in this episode then you shouldn’t be watching the show.

The show is - at its core - a family who is deeply bonded by traumatic events and codependent on different levels.

Eddie Diaz, whether you like him or not, is apart of this messy family.

While yes, this episode was very well written and honestly one of the best episodes of its entire series, it should have had a small snippet of Eddie.

Not to say that not having it made the episode bad, it just felt like we were missing something

Especially because it could have made the next episode or so much more emotional for the fact Eddie is racing to get to get to LA and help in anyway he could but can’t for X reason as a subplot (think of the angst guys💔)

Again, this isn’t me being an Eddie Stan or wtv, this is just on the fact that Eddie is apart of the 118 family and he probably wasn’t even told that said family is in a very stressful situation

[bucksemergency]

the "father-son road trip" line is absolutely foreshadowing eddie and chris driving back to la together <3

[maythegeekbewithyou]

Preferably at the end of ep. 14, so the audience thinks that phew, at least those two are safe… and then they arrive in the city right when a virus is on the loose.

Whoops.
