the worst thing is actually that they set up all the storylines to be so good. SO GOOD. henren adopting mara, madney dealing with pregnancy again, eddie finding joy through the fog of catholic guilt, buck trying and failing to deal with change. and we just got to see none of it be developed because tim decided on a whim to kill bobby and therefore waste four episodes dealing with that. i’m not even mad im just so disappointed
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
walk with me. eddie being back in LA but not yet back at the firehouse, hearing the 118 is trapped and knowing he can't be on the outside while his family is in danger again, showing up to the scene and stealing a set of turnouts to run in and help, saving buck who in the heat of the moment grabs his face and kisses him but then jumps back in horror only to reach back out and wipe the soot off eddie's mouth because he learned that lesson the hard way
Everybody just stop. Nobody is transferring out, and nobody is staying in Texas. This is our firehouse. This is the 118. And it's not just a number, it's us! You're right, Buck. Things are never gonna be the same again, because Cap is gone.
And leaving won't change that. It won't make you feel less, it just means you'll be sad all alone. Bobby died so that I could live, and it has screwed me up in ways I cannot fully express. But the truth is, he would have done that for any one of us.
You see, he knew that just coming in to work every day, there is a chance that one, or more of us would not make it home. And his job above everything else was to make sure that we did. And we are all standing here right now because of him!
This team, WE are his legacy! So we can miss him. We can mourn him. We can even curse his name, but we are NOT going to disrespect him by throwing away what he built RIGHT here.

feeling completely normal about this btw (lying)
it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.
ok i think what it comes down to is that. buck and tommy is not a particularly good or interesting relationship. it's pretty on par with bucks previous relationships. it's below buck and abby, who buck was in love with and who broke his heart. it's below buck and taylor, who were actually close and who exchanged I love yous and were looking pretty endgame for a while. buck and tommy dated for a few months, had an ok relationship, broke up, then had a drunken hookup that ended in buck saying some pretty out of pocket stuff. there's no big compelling love story there. and I understand taking a ship that's one thing on paper and enjoying the version of it that you and a fanbase have created in your minds (WHO among us has not partaken in that pasttime). but where we get this big fanatic fanbase insisting that this is a lovestory for the ages comes from is the fact that it is two men in a canonic relationship on tv. which like.... listen it is not 2012 anymore where we were scrounging in the bottom of the bin for scraps from like german soap operas for canon gay rep (i know, i was there). you can actually hold gay relationships on shows to a higher standard. you don't have to imagine this epic lovestory is hiding behind this milquetoast failed relationship. and of course the argument to this is well you're imagining an epic lovestory behind buddie that's not there. but man, there's 7 years of love and dedication and partnership there. like there is MEAT on them bones. and if it ever went canon, it would be a slowburn will-they-wont-they on a big procedural show with a queer relationship, which as far as I know has never been done. there's something to be invested in there. the arguments im seeing that people have to like buck tommy because it's a canon gay ship and therefore must be a good love story or else youre homophobic is so... absurd. sometimes gay relationships are just mediocre. sometimes they're bad. not every gay relationship on your tv screen should be treated like a precious rare commodity that we need to shut up and be grateful for.
Eddie, returning from Texas: It's great to be back in this house, it's much more Home
Buck: sooo, uh, I did hook up with Tommy here while you were gone
Eddie: So we will be burning this house to the ground
