This started as a tweet I made but grew I to my full feelings for Buck and his romantic relationships:
The writers likely didn't mean this, but Buck getting into relationships after a traumatic event is him regressing. It's him not dealing with his trauma. Not to mention he's always had a difficulties with relationships since s1. The most development we got was him being in a serious relationship after a direct trauma rather than hooking up with people because of a difficult upbringing.
Which is also why I think Ali is more liked as Buck's girlfriend, because from what I can remember, she was the only one who left after he got severely hurt and didn't start dating him after he went through a trauma. Abby started seriously talking to him after Buck couldn't save the man in the rollercoaster, Taylor got with him after Eddie was shot, and Natalia was first interested in Buck because he died and only came back after he got hurt again.
Not to mention Buck's obsession with sex in s1 and when we later learn he got attention from his parents through hurting himself. He's always been regressing.
The biggest reason there has been no change is because for Buck to see worth in himself is him not dating the girls he think will be the next to help him after a trauma; but that goes against the heterosexual nature some writers push for Buck, and if he sees that none of those girlfriends or hook-ups ever saw him for who he is, eventually he would realize that he always had someone who knew him head and heart. But because that someone is a man, people working on the show will never let that be the finale to Buck being with someone who fully understood and was content with him as him through and through.
I am painfully serious about being spec-less for the finale but I'll tell you what I do have. An extremely good fucking feeling
The way Eddie’s love for Buck is clearly unconditional, but Eddie himself likely feels his love is unworthy.
i don’t rewatch begins episodes, on principle, so this idea escaped me entirely until now. But thinking about the eddie begins montage with the context that this singular event is what made him put buck in his will is so…. nauseating. because at the time of airing there was always a small voice inside my head that said “buck is only in so many of these memories because he happens to be in the scenes, the focal point here is chris” but knowing what we know now, is a confirmation that eddie was thinking of his family unit, that when he thought of what makes him want to live he thought of his son and buck
Please, I yearn for him to reappear in the show.
i'm so happy derek's back
Sometimes I get sad at the lost experiences I've had living in an area with less resources
But I'll look back and be nostalgic to what I did have anyway and those dreams will carry me forward.
Kinda weird y'all took Guillermo interacting with Derek's dog as it being his now......... It's a little.....
Please pleaassee be madney engagement proposal
One of the articles related to the promo released some new quotes from the 6x09 interviews: EW:
Ah, but isn't the drama between waiting between episodes exciting? Scrolling through wwdits tags is my second favorite thing to do.
honestly fuck netflix and other companies that followed suit in dropping entire seasons in one day because i’m so used to that now that it’s painful when i have to wait for other shows to be released for months one episode at a time
MMMMHMMMMMM
