Forever Grateful They Ditched The Voice-over Thing From The Earlier Seasons, It Just Made Me Cringe.

Forever grateful they ditched the voice-over thing from the earlier seasons, it just made me cringe. HOWEVER, I would have willingly cringed through it to hear Buck and Tommy's internal dialogue in the restaurant a la Buck and Abby's Valentine's date, because that shit would be hilarious.

I guess I’m in the minority that I do think buck was being sincere about trying to get tommy’s attention. For one he went out of his way to see him before he knew he and eddie had bonded, and I think he was so excited when he thought eddie was inviting him along to karaoke because he thought “great this is my chance to hang out with my crush again!”

Like eddie and tommy are friends, so he thinks great maybe he has an in, but then eddie’s so distracted by how great tommy is he doesn’t even get the chance to ask, and then even when they are all together he still can’t get either of their attentions and his double ended jealousy just boils over.

Because it’s not like he can just ask right? Tommy is a guy, he can’t just ask eddie to set them up/put in a good word. So he starts trying to orchestrate situations where he can get closer to this guy without having to come clean about why he wants to.

The flashback of Eddie talking to Shannon about 'bringing mommy home' being IMMEDIATELY followed by the kidnapper sitting in the park trying to 'find a new mommy' actually makes me wanna die. The parallels are paralleling, but not in a good way.

Ok, but if the 118 + Tommy are getting awarded for the cruise ship rescue does that mean that they're going to be facing the Chief? After directly going against orders? Because I reckon that's going to be an incredibly tense and awkward interaction. The Chief's all professional but also being very passive aggressive about the ceremony and awards and the gang are all we were just doing our jobs, you didn't HAVE to award us. (Bonus points for a 1 on 1 between the Chief and Tommy where they acknowledge the fake mouth static and we finally see Tommy get outwardly nervous)

Headcanon that Tommy's an anti-nickname person, but not in a Buckley parents you-have-a-legal-grownup-name-so-use-it way, more in a i-know-your-legal-name-so-will-use-it-to-show-how-much-i-care-about-you way.

My AFAB British ass just nodding along whilst Eddie talks about his Vegas trip, like yeah, I totally know how far it is between Vegas and LA, mhm, Muay Thai? oh definitely, that’s a thing, and chevelle is horse in French right? Sounds like you had a great time Eddie!
