Is it too soon to talk about the Tommy and Taylor Kelly parallel(s) we got in this episode??

Because @b-dwolf and I were just talking about the fact that the Buck Tommy kiss is literally paralleling the Buck taylor bathroom hook up in season 2 - down to the song choice and the way Madney are sitting - just without the bathroom! we even got a secondary parallel with Taylor dumping Buck to go to work with Tommy dropping out of the party to go to work.

#Paralleling Tommy to Taylor is such a choice #especially as they've been leaning into the s2 parallels this season #Look I like Tommy as a character - I think he's an interesting way of developing Bucks arc and character #but this show just keeps on telling us that he is very much a narrative tool #thats not a bad thing - they're important and its clever storytelling #but the more I see the more obvious it is that Buck is still on the hamster wheel - he's just closer to getting off it #He is literally repeating the same patterns just with a man this time #and thats ok - because he's getting closer and closer to figuring it out #and paralleling Buck and Eddie getting closer and closer a la s2 in contrast to this is also loud!!!#911 spoilers #eddie diaz #evan buckley #buddie #911 abc #not tagging Tommy properly because I don't want the hate in my inbox (you will get blocked if you try!)
