never getting over the face the priest makes when eddie says he's straight

same

[takendreams]

calling it that the season ends with buck and eddie officially agreeing to be roommates and clinking beers on the couch together just like at the end of 8x06. except that the whole scene will be filled with heated looks and palpable will-they-won’t-they energy. where there’s no chance that anyone watching doesn’t immediately go, “oh, so that’s definitely going to happen,” :)

Mood going into tonight's episode

[takendreams]

sorry. why are there people on here acting like caring about dead Bobby is a buddie shipper issue 😭 and by not caring about it or acting like it’s good you’re somehow winning over the BoBs 😭 what is the correlation. what does that have anything to do with buddie can you guys get a FUCKINGGGG grip like I’m really sorry the dude you’re obsessed with didn’t land the plane for Angela Bassett. really it’s tragic. but literally everywhere you look basically nobody else, in fandom or out, wants Bobby dead or is pretending it’s a good move or being executed well because they don’t have some bizarre agenda about it… people are paying attention and looking at other possibilities because everything about it is weird and inconsistent with what we love about the show and we love the characters and respect the work of the actors who have established said characters for years… can you look within here… it’s about BOBBY NASH????? PETER KRAUSE????? main actor and executive producer of the show??? character who has survived a thousand insane things. and I’M stupid for acting like abruptly killing him with somehow airborne Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever mutated by an evil scientist is like. a little fucking strange. because it’s lame now to care about Bobby Nash. ok. you guys drive me nuts

looking at season 8s overall stats, the fact the funeral episode didn’t even crack 5 million does not seem like a good sign when combined with the fact that despite being the second half of a two parter the bobby death episode had the lowest numbers of the season, while the highest number was from a bobby and athena heavy episode. i think many people tuned in last night to either pay respect to peter/ bobby or see if the alive bobby theory was correct. curious to see how the next episode will perform.

911 season 8a: don't kill yourself, think of your favorite tv show!

“you’re here now”🤍

this episode has really opened my eyes to the plot issues 911 has been having for a while. in hindsight i look back on plots i was neutral about from the last few seasons and genuinely dislike them now, which is the exact opposite thing that you want to happen. i had been able to ignore how i didn’t exactly love some of the plots and their pacing because i was just happy watching the characters. however i fear 911 is going to end up going the same way the final season of lonestar did. too many plots to satisfactorily finish any of them, and a choppiness and continuity problem.

[takendreams]

Also not to make everything about Buddie, but we also had Buddie as the B plot for every episode for several episodes straight and the huge revelation that Eddie is “the competition” and then smash cut to two episodes of Contagion that no one wanted and then Bobby dying and then Bobby funeral ep where Buck and Eddie don’t even say two fucking words to each other, not even a grief hug, reunited off screen, and Ravi spends more time in stilted dialogue with Eddie than Buck does. We’ve just totally dropped all the threads from earlier in the season to do this little is-Bobby-alive-or-dead bit, which is stupid, because they EASILY could have used Bobby’s death to further other plots (including Buck and Eddie’s). It’s just BAD FUCKING WRITING, WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE.

[takendreams]

hot take but i don’t think the first episode after a supposed mcd in a show like this needs a b plot. i think just showing characters grieving is fine actually

[takendreams]

this episode should have absolutely been dedicated to the personal stories of each of these characters. they all just lost a man who was not just a coworker, but a friend. a close friend. we absolutely should've gotten to see how badly everyone is coping with this, how deeply it is affecting not just chimney, but ALL of the 118. athena. harry and may!!! we should've gotten to see tears, we should've gotten to see anger, we should've gotten to see survivor's guilt. we should've gotten to see hugs. we should've gotten to see eddie have a REAL fucking reaction to this. we should've gotten to see the 118 coming together to support each other in this, because they are NOT alone and they ARE a family. we should've seen them leaning on each other. crying together and spilling their guts about the should have could haves and offering each other comfort, whether that be through words or touch or just existing in the same space together. silently, but not alone. we should've gotten to see them standing up at bobby's funeral, talking about the man they loved and looked up to so much. we should've actually gotten to SEE the procession play out - not just a montage of it. like you say you wanna shake up this show and make it feel fucking real then make it feel fucking real. let us, the audience, actually FEEL something during these scenes.

this could have been SUCH a visceral, deeply moving episode. but it fucking WASN'T and i'm so fucking mad about that.

[takendreams]

okay who's jumping onto the "government holding bobby for experiments" theory with me?!
