so much more interesting for his character. to ME. to have had eddie in texas for this arc. cause I genuinely do believe there's such a thing as too many character NDEs at once (like while I loved the bridge collapse none of the NDEs meant much to me cause there was just too much to focus on and not enough time to give it the proper emotional punch. eddie's ribs got crushed. did I give a shit. did it do anything for his character. no) but this absence is Everything for his character. because eddies been so focused on losing christopher and getting him back that he's almost convinced himself he can be fine in Texas. and maybe when it was a competition between Chris and Everyone/Anyone else that could be true but he has chris back in his corner now and he has to choose between continuing this lie to himself that he and chris can be happy in texas or he has to come face to face with the fact that this life he built in los angeles could never be a transient moment in his life. not only has he been immeasurably changed by these people he met at the 118 but he is still and forever bound to them and that's Not Nothing. we saw him acknowledge it but at that point he didn't think he had a choice. now he does and he will be confronted with that in the most devastating way and the impact of his absence will be so much more defining and monumental for him than being just another trapped 118 member
And the army doctor had a mustache at some point in his life after losing a loved one
If I had a nickel for every time I've had a gay ship in a TV show in which one of them was an army doctor that served in Afghanistan who got shot in the shoulder and in the leg, got stuck in a well, got married and had a child but then lost his wife, and the other one had curly hair and blue eyes and they were best friends who were introduced by someone else and coparented the former army doctor's kid and have been mistaken for a couple several times, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
if the 118 is going into season 9 without a captain anyway i think they should let every character be captain for one episode. it could be so great. the return of nightmare captain han. ravi spending the entire episode terrified because he feels in no way qualified only to end up having a clipboard buck-esque ego trip at the very end. buck tries his best but every time he doesn't get to run headfirst into a fire he stands there looking like a dog left out in the rain like :( i cant believe all my friends are in mortal danger rn and I DONT GET TO JOIN :(((( eddie's actually kind of good at it but buck keeps getting so flustered by eddie ordering him around for Reasons He Cant Explain that he kind of forgets to do his job and then he gets so upset about not supporting eddie or whatever they have to call it quits. at the end hen is like well. i know i turned it down initially but i dont think theres anyone the department could possibly bring in with enough experience both as a firefighter and cultivator of our beautiful perfect codependent family dynamic so i will do the noble thing and step up (the entire thing was a scheme to make her realise this). btw bobby's alive for all of this he actually escaped the government lab in episode 1 but he's too busy sipping shirley temples on the beach with athena to get involved in any of it
gonna be in denial and just go to bed now bc i really don't have the mental capacity for this rn and everything is shitty and i hate this
okay here is my crackpot theory for the next episode. chimney is going to bring home the lab rat for jee-yun. the lab rat is going to appear to “die.” they prepare to get rid of the rat (shoebox burial in the backyard) when suddenly the rat “miraculously” comes back to life. this is how we realize that the virus, though serious, is not actually as fatal as anticipated; it sends its victims into a coma-like state (not unlike the potion in romeo and juliet). this is alluding to bobby being alive in the coffin and having to get out of being buried alive. jesus bobby lives. amen.
I'm not even sad Bobby's dead I'm in an ultimate state of denial and desperation and rage all at once
i fear we’re losing soldiers in the Bobby is still alive war I need you all to stay with me!!! Bobby is alive!! Bobby is alive!!! *I say as they drag me back to my padded cell*
Having the previously suicidal character say they don’t wanna go as they die?? I’m actually suing I’m sobbing Tim minear when I catch you
THIS BETTER BE TEMPORARY I CANT LOSE HIM LIKE THAT
Nope. No. No. No. That didn't happen. Nope. The chapter did NOT end there. Nope. I refuse
somebody get maddie and tia pepa in the same room quickly
Bold fucking take but I really think the reason why Eddie turns around to look at the 118 before looking back at Buck with THIS FACE and asking if he really did that for him is bc he had to remind himself they were not alone. Otherwise he wouldve kissed him right then and there
