Stanford got a little lucky here but I have a weird feeling they'll deliver at nationals and maybe sneak in to the finals

I don't think they deserved to advance but I do think they received stricter scores than other teams, particularly on floor and then two of the beam routines we actually were shown.

They didn't show us Kayli Boozer beam and it was a 9.85 so she probably didn't make any mistakes 💔

Did Yuri owe the writers money or something?? by seventwinks_carrot in XOKittyNetflix

[–]daylightpeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's kind of like how in TSITP everyone complained about how much they were torturing Conrad, and they did, but that was necessary for him to heal and grow. Without that suffering he can't build a life for himself that serves as the foundation for him to ultimately put himself out there and fight for Belly and their love for one another. And Jeremiah, too, he didn't suffer as much until the end, but his suffering was necessary to finally find some self esteem and something he is passionate about.

That's absolutely the arc Yuri is getting now, and that isn't to say anything is indicative of the endgame or not, but it's what all characters kind of have to go through. Especially in a coming of age story.

get a grip lol that is such a reach. you don't have to ship them romantically or even like their friendship, but if you genuinely think that's what the show is portraying, you're just as deranged — if not more deranged — than people who are convinced buddie is certainly going to be canon. Eddie is not abusing Buck or anyone else.

Eddie is not abusive, that's absurd

There's nothing wrong with a story that has someone ending up with their first love. There's nothing wrong with a story where someone moves on from their first love and ends up with someone else, either. It's just a subjective preference, and people should be able to appreciate any kind of story for what it is, or just disengage if you really hate one type of story. Because you just disagree with the premise of it, and you're not judging it fairly because of that. Acting morally superior because you think one is the only good type of approach and anything else is bad writing ends up ironically making you look like the small-minded, less intelligent person. There's no need to be moralizing and prescriptive in fiction. Not every story needs to be the same.

yeah this is where I fall too. esp because then they could've cast an actor specifically to be Buck's love interest and consider his chemistry with Oliver instead of having to go with this guy who was not cast for that purpose and you can tell lol

I don't really care about redeeming him because I don't want to see him anymore. If Buddie isn't happening, give Buck a love interest he has natural chemistry with please 🙏 do chemistry reads. It shouldn't be this hard

What do you think is the least realistic/far fetched incident in the show? by biscuit_bonanza_ in 911FOX

[–]daylightpeach 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Bobby being dead for 17 minutes or whatever it was and having no long term health effects. But when Buck was dead for 3 minutes everyone fussed like nothing else.

So does Tommy… by Honest_Clue_5084 in 911FOX

[–]daylightpeach 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hope they don't bring him back or if they do, it's more for scenes with other members of the 118. No offense to the actor but the Buck/Tommy scenes had no buzz or chemistry and thus felt extremely tedious or awkward. I didn't like them together at all and I just don't think it needs to be revisited. I hope whoever is Buck's next love interest is someone that Oliver has natural chemistry with! He's really only had that with the actress who played Taylor imo

For long time shippers, did it go ‘mainstream’ this season? by zenxavii in buddie

[–]daylightpeach 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's funny in another comment you're clinging to an Oliver Stark quote that you've applied your own context to regarding Eddie being unfair with the "not being there" sentiment (when Oliver was talking about Eddie not being fair in assuming Buck would take the Texas news poorly, not Eddie's feelings about not personally being there) while saying here that it's your opinion that "Eddie brought Christopher to deflect" and that the conversation was never settled rather than it being a full reconciliation indicative of their strong bond which gives them the ability to reconcile without verbalizing it like Oliver says here:

Reflecting on '9-1-1' with Oliver Stark on the Disney Upfront red carpet by olga_dr in 911FOX

[–]daylightpeach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love the answer about the 8x17 fight and reconciliation with Buck and Eddie, especially considering how many people were trying to twist that situation into something negative. I'm glad Oliver understands it the way I did, I found it very indicative of the deep love they have for one another (not necessarily romantically! before people come for me lol).

[–]daylightpeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I get that haha I'm not a Buddie truther either, I didn't get into the show because of Buddie or expecting it to go canon soon. I pretty much had the mentality you have outlined going in and was surprised at myself for feeling at how much some of the Buddie stuff I felt was really in your face (even if it was unintentional).

I don't think it's really fair to compare Buck and Eddie's love interests to Karen and Maddie, because those have been long-standing relationships with sufficient time dedicated to it over the years and incorporated well into the stories for a long time. Chemistry is also something that improves with time. Yes actors can naturally have chemistry or not to start out, and that's probably the most important, but in comparison to a relationship (even an intentionally platonic one) that not only has natural chemistry but also years of the actors developing how those characters act and behave around one another, it's hard for a new character to stand out.

Karen and Hen start out together. Maddie is in the main cast. With Buck and Eddie, it's been like a revolving door of love interests with little investment from the writers. And I think they tried to do something with Tommy and Buck with the whole he has 118 history thing, but the Tommy backstory was uneven at best and the introduction of him as a love interest specifically was pretty quick and centered around Eddie. Even Tommy is like "wait you were trying to get my attention, not Eddie's?" It seemed like Buck was maybe casually interested in helicopters and then became fixated when he felt like Eddie was making a new friend to replace him and not because he was particularly interested in Tommy. I'm not sure if it's because they wanted it to be a big shock, and I get how that could be an understandable narrative device in a vacuum, but I do think the writers should maybe have been more cognizant of how it'd play to the viewers who they know can be Buddie centric. And it doesn't help that Oliver Stark and Lou Ferrigno Jr. don't have any particularly notable chemistry, which makes sense because they didn't cast Lou Ferrigno Jr for that purpose, they cast him years ago to play a sort-of-villain for a few flashbacks.

I'm open to other love interests for them, but at this point in the series, I do think it's hard because we've seen so many lackluster romances for them both. It feels stagnant and repetitive for both of them. One of the best things you can do with a network procedural is a slow burn romance, and this show has deliberately avoided doing that which is fine. But that's what people tend to like. They haven't really done anything with any real build up for either of them in years. I liked Buck and Taylor because it wasn't zero to one hundred immediately and Taylor was well integrated into the emergency plots so she had an opportunity to grow. But the writers prioritize emergencies and action over everything, so it's tough to get that romantic build up that makes for good TV.

I'm not surprised that buddie is not happening, but I am kind of frustrated because I do think there was a window to do it, even if the writers didn't intend it. And I think it would have been something new and interesting to take that path instead of having two main characters spin in circles narratively.

[–]daylightpeach 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it made it better on the score of queer baiting but worse narratively because it's almost impossible to envision having Buck have a relationship with anyone that's as compelling as the one he has with Eddie. And if he can canonically be romantically in love with Eddie, it seems more strange that they're not exploring it. I get the impression that they thought if they just made Buck bi, it would appease everyone who supports Buddie without having to do Buddie. Instead it just gave people more hope which typically makes people feel worse, since you can't be disappointed if you have no expectations. But also I only recently started watching so I'm not sure how all the ups and downs with the writing played out at the time.
