Robert Nash count: 4.

They beefed Bobby’s funeral so badly back in May that in October they’re going to try to fix it by doing this big memorial as the opener and do a Bobby montage and do stories and grief and it’s like. Why didn’t you do this his actual funeral. Why did you waste precious time on a dead baby. When you could have done this instead. They beefed it so badly that over five months later they’re going to try to fix it and it’s not going to work. Me and Susan from Kenosha both have Hammers and Axes and are Getting Tim Minear’s Ass over this.

as optimistic as I remain about other aspects of the show. well there is something genuinely and surreally comical about how Tim Minear bragged that killing off Bobby was all his idea and absolutely everyone fought him on it but he knew better, proceeded to get the worst critical and fan reception of his life after going through with it, and then completely disappeared for almost 3 months after a bizarre funeral episode he co-wrote where almost nobody who loved Bobby talked about him or with each other and there was a distracting side plot about how you shouldn’t believe in miracles and every other season storyline got derailed and hastily wrapped up and all the characters got pushed forward in time and towards the moving on stage before the audience was even able to really properly process anything and the cast got cornered having to answer all the questions about it and be diplomatic. and now he’s back saying well we want to honor Bobby’s sacrifice and pay homage to the character’s legacy. Awesome dude do you know when would have been an ideal time to do that

sure ok. why did eddie even go to texas then? why set up that he’s gonna choose to stay with the 118 (not even like. a buddie thing specifically) for himself because thats where he belongs and then instead he’s forced to stay by CHIMNEY??? why did bobby die?? why did athena sell their house? why did eddie go to texas?? why was eddie going to texas buck’s entire storyline for the season? why chekovs el paso fire employee who abandoned them for a wife in another state? why did eddie tell buck he wasn’t going to make him move out if he came back and then he moved out?? why did bobby die in the middle of a season of rat disease?? why the silly and flippant tone after bobby died? why the 4 minute funeral? why the theme of people returning? why the grahambobby parallel except he lives??? why did athena take bobby’s body to minnesota? how is maddie already giving birth?? how long was eddie in texas? why didn’t chris ever express any desire to move back to LA ?? why did hen do literally nothing all season?? why did bobby die? why did eddie go to texas?

s9 opener buddie carpooling to work and chim negs them for buck still living on eddies couch. buck rubs his neck like haha yeah nothing seems quite right...cue a 8.12 style montage of eddie finding problems in every apartment buck tours

I think it's abundantly clear that the pacing of 8B got fucked up around the time they got confirmation of renewal, so I'm stuck wondering if Tim Minear once again decided to just rip up everything he'd planned and do something completely different

#bobbyalivemaxxing again kinda sorta (not really) but

"why would maddie answer a 911 call made from minnesota?"

lone star had grace answering a call from the international space station. do you really think they give a fuck

[buckleysbegin]

man fuck being neurodivergent for real. It's 3:30 am and I just started crying 6.5 hours after the episode aired because I can feel my love for this stupid show dying and it genuinely feels like a part of me is going with it. we're living in a world filled with so much constant despair and fear and we can't even have a little escapism without being mocked for daring to have hope. fuck this.

[buckleysbegin]

i don’t want to say anything i’m going to regret later when i’m not as. sleep deprived and emotionally vulnerable. but there are only so many narrative opportunities you can miss before it just becomes bad writing. and there’s only so much benefit of the doubt that your audience can give you before they start feeling betrayed and disheartened

[buckleysbegin]

i wish I could make a serious post about Bobby’s death but it’s just so stupid and unserious to me. like buck didn’t even cry this episode. hen was barely in it. eddie didn’t come back to LA until the day of the funeral???? and tommy was a pallbearer. of Bobby’s empty coffin that was buried in the beautiful city of Saint Paul Minnesota. how am I supposed to make a serious post about any of this.

[buckleysbegin]

a five year long hyperfixation that has at times been one of my only sources of happiness about to die because this stupid upper-class white man thinks he's a creative genius and god's gift to the television industry. lol. lmao even.

Why was that episode where that police horse died more emotional than the episode with Bobby’s funeral?
