#911 s8 speculation

[rosstrytobe]

Also the differences are not subtle anymore because:

THIS IS A PLATONIC GOODBYE HUG WITH THE BESTIES

THIS IS A ROMANTIC CODED HUG IN THE RAIN

[watchyourbuck]

you’re all wrong the first episode of 911 s8 it’s actually buck reciting word for word the bee movie and tommy and eddie both staring at him dumbfoundedly

[natvksblog]

Eddie: Hen I think I like Buck

Hen: You think?!!

Eddie: yeah I'm not su-

Hen: you baby trapped him! You got shot and worried if HE was injured! You RAN on the ladder when he was struck by lightning! AND YOU THINK?!!

Not to beat a dead horse, but Buck and Eddie’s arcs are perfectly aligned for a love realization from both of them very very soon. Buck has just been informed textually that he has his “last” to look forward to, that he’s “ready” now that his first is no more. And the last scenes of the midseason finale (not to mention the interviews) showed us beyond a shadow of a doubt that Buck is about to crash out over Eddie. Specifically. Edmundo Diaz. Moving to Texas. And yes, this is an Eddie-centric crash out because Buck already had all of summer and into November to process missing Christopher, even if it was never meant to be a permanent separation. But now his best friend has told him that he’s going to move back to El Paso, and suddenly it’s all Buck can focus on. How strange!

And Eddie. Eddie was just told that he should allow himself joy, anything that brings specifically him joy. He danced, he teased, and then he impulsively leaped right into moving halfway across the country to be with his baby again. He’s still doing things for others, as much as moving would reunite him with Christopher, he’s doing it because he thinks it’s the right thing to do, not because it would be right for him (or even both of them). He’s contemplating leaving his found family (Buck included) behind because he is still so focused on the Chris of it all. And as a parent, he can’t bring himself to do anything less, even if actually moving to El Paso would bring him insane levels of stress and pressure from his mother (and possibly his father). He’s following Christopher’s lead even though it’s been months, and nothing about their relationship has really improved. He’s not finding his joy again, as much as he might lie to himself that reuniting with Christopher is all it will take. Eddie still doesn’t see what’s right in front of him. That his best friend and partner in nearly every way would sacrifice anything to make Eddie happy again, to bring Eddie joy. He doesn’t see that Buck makes him laugh even when he’s spiraling because all he can see right now is his son. But if they continue the thread of finding joy, then Eddie will absolutely understand after he spends a little time in El Paso, or even just planning to leave while Buck is boarding up his heart.

They’ve been so close other times, i.e. The Couch Theory, but this time it is all textual. They are the person each of them spends the most time with outside of the work scenes. The person they go to for support. The one who listens to their needs, and tries their best to help, or to be that supportive shoulder. We haven’t gotten a Buck and Maddie scene or an Eddie and Bobby scene. It has just been these two men, sitting in their kitchens, their living rooms, the hospital room, comfortably inside each other’s spaces and heads. They are glaringly obvious partners. It would be absolutely insane not to tell this story all the way to it’s rightful ending.

Bobby working on a TV show gives them so much opportunity to be bitchy lol. My firstborn if they have two of the actors on the show complain to Bobby about people shipping them and being really demanding about it. One of them is randomly British.

I would laugh my ass off if Buck and Chim pester Bobby for details and he’s like “I. CAN’T. TELL. YOU. IDIOTS!” Hen has some really detailed theory, but it’s completely meaningless. Tommy says something about how side characters can be important without being seen all the time.

They should be meta about it and have their actual technical advisors playing firefighters.

And my beenado being a metaphor for fandom theory is still alive, they can frame it through the lens of the show-within-a-show. Is a Tim self-insert allegorical character on the horizon? Scene: the fake showrunner opens Xitter. Immediately closes it and goes outside. Reports death threats over some trivial bs to the network. Says something about buzz. Beenado!

This is honestly delightful.
