genuinely interesting phenomenon - TO ME - watching multiple people on multiple platforms make posts about lou being attention seeking for posting on social media when posting for attention and engagement is pretty standard on a show day for a show a person is working on.

I think it's so impressive that so many people manage to make sense of the strange writing choices from the last episode and turn it into fics that work, but my brain is still so stuck on the whole Abby thing.

Can I accept that Buck apparently didn't really process or research his sexuality at all over the course of six months? Maybe, though it feels slightly ooc

Can I accept that Tommy is apparently so hurt and traumatized that he'd rather run than listen to Buck? Maybe, though after six months and consistantly showing him to be very attentive and an open communicator, it also feels a bit ooc

But then the Abby thing? Which doesn't make sense for so many reasons? And the fact that they never talked about exes or their past or their identity after six months?

It's just a lot to swallow over the course of two super short scenes without any kind of build up 😭

Imagine if this is what finally gets Buck to tell Tommy to stop calling him "Evan."

Like, he just had to go through another shift of Gerrard berating him and his family while calling him by his birth name and he vents to Tommy about it. And Tommy just goes "What's the big deal? I call you 'Evan' all the time."

And Buck just snaps and goes.

"I know! And I hate it!"

We're gonna see Buck crying and sobbing on his knees in an hour .... hell yeah

I’m genuinely so fucking sick of the “you all would have loved it if it was Eddie who made that comment” take.

First of all, Eddie wouldn’t have made comment then, bc he knows how hard it is for Buck to talk about his emotions, & is REALLY good at giving him the space to talk about them, even if he does make jokes, they’re not out of pocket (the coming out scene, anyone? Breaking the tension with a joke & still being supportive without making a joke of his feelings.)

Secondly, even if Eddie DID make that comment, I’d probably still roll my eyes, but I’d be more willing to accept it. Do you wanna know why???

Who was the person that knew the details of what Buck was talking to his therapist about during their emergency session before the Buckley’s visit? Who is the first one they show at Buck’s side when he gets stuck in the warehouse trying to pull Saleh out after learning about Daniel?? Who is the one who was pacing downstairs in the station & making sure Buck was okay after the warehouse, and the one who warned him about his visitors??

Who was the one praying at Bobby’s bedside, right next to Buck in the hospital?

(I’ll give you a hint, it’s not the dude that’s had 10 minutes of fucking screen time that everyone forgot about post s1.)

It wouldn’t have been the same bc TOMMY AND EDDIE ARE NOT THE SAME. They are not on the same level of knowing Buck & understanding when to make jokes & what jokes to make. Your best friend, partner & co-parent of 6 years and the man that you haven’t even called your boyfriend yet are not on the same level of familiarity.

I get that you’re pissed that Tommy is being compared to Buck’s previous love interests (which would be the case, even if he wasn’t just as shitty & uninterested in Buck as a person as they all were) but if you genuinely think that he’s anywhere near Eddie’s level, EVEN PLATONICALLY, then I fear that you have been watching another show entirely, & I encourage you to watch more than just s7, bc that’s the only explanation I can come up with for why this fuck ass take exists.

When the interviewer asked when we should expect s5 to be coming out, that’s when Shawn mentioned that a little bit of an answer to that might be out there soon.

He actually mentions that this answer could be out by the time the video for this interview comes out, and since this interview was filmed mid-May and it’s now mid-June, I’m assuming we could be getting something soon or within the next couple months, potentially about a release date aka possibly a small teaser with 2025 stamped at the end…

Thought I would bring this back for DE Homecoming day 11 - Memories!

A group of community members got together to make this back in 2020 that took about 3 months I think? We had a team of writers, a bunch of us cosplayed or otherwise dressed up for our readings, a ton of artists to contribute to the slideshow, and then a little montage I put together as the project editor :> It wasn't just for DE, but since that was how we all found each other, it's a pretty big focus haha

I've met almost every single one of my closest friends through Detroit Evolution, and it's just very important to me, and this video was my attempt to get that across as it's not always easy putting it into words.

Ohhhh my god the change of art team in half of season 5 TAS.... One of the biggest things I've loved about this show is how fucking beautiful Jean and Rogue's hair is 😍

i didnt think id be able to notice a show's budget be cut in real time but the second i started season 5 and rogue's hair wasnt as voluptuous as it was before i knew something was amiss

[solid-six]

Speaking of replaying things...got it in my head recently about maybe playing Death Stranding for a second time. Played it through once a few years ago and didn't think I'd want to do it over again.

So last night I thought I'd watch some of a YT playthrough, see how I felt about it. And after about and hour or so, I stg I've oscillated back and forth between...

Oh hell yeah! I can remember there was a lot here I really liked that was enough for me to finish the whole thing the first time; and

Bluhhhhhhhhhhhhh I also remember why I haven't wanted to play it again until apparently now lol

...like 20 times.

Picture this (in the event he's on set):

Temu ends up appearing and does whatever the hell he's there to do during the emergency, but not before trying to talk to Buck about what happened at Eddie's house. But Buck is short and curt with him because he's trying to save his family and isn't in the mood for his shit.

Fast forward towards the end of the emergency.

Everyone is out and Bobby is assumed dead. And Buck finally ends up breaking down. Temu feels kinda bad and starts walking over to comfort him, only to hear Buck say one word:

"Eddie."

He needs Eddie.

He always needs Eddie.

And that's the final nail in his coffin.

SaL anon here friend and, well, that happened 😐. I can't even really say I'm mad or disappointed or anything like that because this?? Is exactly what I expected. And its so, so sad that after what was supposed to be Bobby's final farewell I'm just numb and disinterested. Even Angela's incredible performance couldn't drag a tear out of me, it was too late and I was past caring. Honestly what is this show doing anymore?? How did they start out 8b so, so strong and turn into this?? I gotta be honest friend I'm finishing out the season of course but I don't know if I'll be around for season 9 if this is now the show. Emergency after emergency after emergency, with guest star after guest star after guest star, and no sign of the family I loved in sight. It sounds like hell and I want no part of it if it happens. Where are you at the afternoon?

Hello my friend! I was going to shoot off a quick response when I saw this, but I do actually have some thoughts and then I was out of town, so I'm typing this up before bed and setting it to post in the morning. Warning for typical salt gremlin behavior from me.

First off, I have to apologize once again for dragging you into this show with me only for us to end up back in the same RNM "god what is all this wasted potential" boat again 😬 I was banking on Eddie's absence and the longing it would inspire given how we saw Buck crashing out would at least get us a chance to do West, and with this Bobby nonsense, I was planning for us to do Sorrow at the very least, and maybe Saturn as well. And yet, here we are with basically nothing, because Bobby's death ("death"?), and Eddie's return ("return"?) gave us...nothing to work with!

Okay, so first major gripe is obviously Eddie, and the fact that basically none of his stuff has been happening on screen. The ONLY good thing to come out of this mess is the very, VERY loud blowback from every corner I've seen, or seen screenshots of, asking why the show is suddenly ignoring a main character. I hope Ryan sees how much he and Eddie are loved and missed by the audience, and regardless of shipping, the Buck/Eddie dynamic has ALWAYS been a favorite and not seeing them grieving together and not seeing their first meeting after the huge deal made about Eddie leaving clearly hit the vast majority of the audience the wrong way. It just disrespectful. And don't get me started on the show trying to do damage control by praising the actors as if people have not been going out of their way to point out the actors were never the issue and the writing is what people are mad at, and as if this whole series of episodes hasn't been DEEPLY disrespectful to several of the characters/actors already. 😒

Alright, now for the actual problem with this episode, because I have seen a couple comments of like "the writing isn't bad, you're just sad" and like, NO, I'm NOT sad, and that is the fucking PROBLEM. If Bobby is in fact dead, that was THEE lamest "reflection and remembrance" episode for a main character I have ever seen. Zero flashbacks to key moments with the 118, or Athena and the kids, zero moments of the firefam gathered together telling stories the audience hasn't heard about Bobby and how he helped them, in fact most of the episode wasn't even ABOUT Bobby! They didn't even have a good song playing over the funeral montage on the "we picked the perfect song to make everyone cry at this scene" show! It just felt SO empty and soulless. And we know this show can pack a punch with the emotions because I have seen SO many comments about that scene putting down the horse in season 2, and so many one-off emergencies that had people in tears. I was dreading this episode because I thought I was going to sob the whole way through and I don't think I even teared up. For fucks sake, we didn't even get Harry helping carry the casket! THEY BURIED BOBBY ACROSS THE COUNTRY FROM HIS FAMILY HE JUST SAID HE WANTED TO STAY WITH ALWAYS AND WHERE THEY CAN'T EASILY VISIT TO "TALK" WITH HIM! (I did see a lot of people saying at least there was that good moment and it fills me with fury because it's not sweet or touching for the suicidal character's story to end exactly where he thought it would 8 seasons ago, when all of his arcs have been about putting the past to rest and moving forward with the family he made in LA, with the firefam and Athena and the kids.) (but also if he's alive then I will accept it as symbolically laying that part of his life to rest but still. There's no way that man and Athena haven't picked out their plots side by side already, please be so for real, Tim.)

However, if Bobby is alive? Then this episode....serves no purpose. You could, upon rewatching the show, skip directly from 8x15 into 8x17 without missing a thing. If you really wanted, you could watch the trailer for 8x16 since it had the two important Athena and Chim scenes in it and about as much funeral montage as we saw in the show. It ultimately serves NO purpose! The lady with the baby was wrong and her child was dead, WHO CARES. No call from Bobby at the end of the episode so no cliffhanger to pull you into the next episode, and most importantly NO GRIEVING from the firefam! Skipping ahead to miss all the initial aftermath was a HUGE misstep. Not seeing the firefam hugging and talking to each other was a HUGE MISSTEP. Eddie not showing up for WEEKS until the funeral date was set? And possibly leaving Chris with his parents again flying in the face of what DID get accomplished (FINALLY) in 8x13? Like, what are we even doing here?! Fucking racist, sexist, GERRARD got to give the "Bobby was a great man" speech to the 118?!?! The man who was FIRED from the 118 for being so terrible to Hen as reported by Chim who knew exactly how awful that man was to him too? HE gets to talk more about Bobby and who he was and what he meant to people than BUCK? Than fucking HEN?! Like Jesus H Roosevelt motherfucking Christ! How do you miss hitting emotional beats THAT BIG?! Isn't that the point of killing off characters? It's a lazy way to force emotion from the audience without actually putting in a lot of work. But they managed to not even do that much!

Because the thing is, if Bobby is alive or not, we should be FEELING his death. We should be mourning along with the characters. If he is dead, this allows the audience to grieve with their other faves, and pay respects to the character and actor. If he's alive, it still allows the audience to sit in that pain with the characters, and on re-watching the show to relish in the pain they know is soon going to be lifted! But since literally NONE of that happened in this episode, dead or alive, this episode is so much of a nothing burger it could entirely be skipped without really losing anything. And THAT, folks, is down to bad writing.

Also, someone else said, if Bobby is truly dead, there should not have been any question about it, and I agree. But also, if he was alive? There also should, at this point, be no question about it, for the audience! The audience should be in the know by now! Because everyone is just MAD, especially the ones who said they were watching the funeral just to say farewell to Bobby before quitting the show and then got screwed out of even getting that much respect for their fave in 8x16. At this point, no matter which way it goes, it feels like a cruel joke being played on the audience, poking fun at them, instead of a crazy journey for the characters that the audience gets to be "in the know" on. Because if the audience is in the know, we are in on the joke, but if the audience is on the outside, we ARE the joke. And no one likes being the butt of the joke. And to do that to an audience that has been faithful for this many seasons because they fully bought into the tone, theme, and foundation of the show which is HOPE and second chances?! To an audience that stuck through shortened covid seasons, an unexpected cancellation giving half-assed tied up storylines that then had to be undone because they were terrible? To an audience that stuck through a network switch, and a shortened season due to strikes?

It just seems mean spirited, and it's truly sad to watch a show that was successfully working towards getting it's groove back, crash and burn SO HARD, SO FAST. And loosing the trust of a good audience like that is going to be hard to overcome.
