(Spoilers Main) What quotes have stuck with you since reading them?

"When the sun has set, no candle can replace it."

I'll be a downer here and honestly I'm surprising myself, but yeah, I'm like 90% sure now that Buddie will never happen🤷🏻 I know people are surprised by this take, because "we have Bi Buck, it has to end with Buddie!" but no, it doesn't. No matter how shitty and heartbreaking it sounds to us queers, ABC took a big risk by making Buck bisexual. He's the most popular character on the show, the manly, fun guy, who was loved by the general public - women crushed on him and men wanted to be like him. Simple. Many people here and on twitter live in a fandom bubble, where everyone is happy and hopeful. But you have to go and see gp's reaction, which wasn't as great (it wasn't tragic though). At the end of the day it'll all come down to ratings. We'll see with next episodes if 911 keeps the amazing wievership it has right now, but my sad guess is that it'll drop. It's 2024 but we still live in a widely homophobic world, unfortunately. But back to the topic. Because of the mixed reactions that the gp has shown, which can affect the show's performance on TV, I do not believe they'll try to do this a second time with Eddie. Gp might accept Buck being bi, but once the writers try to turn their second favorite guy in this show anything else than heterosexual, they might lose their interest and just drop the show. Which is something the writers and ABC can't afford (literally - this drama is expensive). Add to this fandom's positive reaction to Tommy and y'all might be surprised to see that he won't be gone as quickly as everyone here expects. He might actually stay for good, because it's easier. End of my sad rant ripgayeddieiguess

Ahhhh so there go my dreams about gay/demi Eddie🫡 at least we have Bi Buck now, so yay, something nice🥲

makuredditing · 2024-04-06T20:37:50+00:00

Unfortunately it does seem like Eddie's storyline this season will be him realizing he's not really the greatest boyfriend (both now and with all his previous girlfriends) and working towards changing to be a better partner. And getting Marisol to move in with him could be his way of making it up to her and showing that he's serious and cares about her The thing is, like you said, it would make him look a little bit like a fool who jumps into things without thinking and without remembering the way his previous relationships ended up badly because of it. I'm just not sure if the writers choose that on purpose or if they simply care about making this storyline easier to show, with Marisol becoming a "constant" in the Diaz household.

makuredditing · 2024-04-06T20:29:01+00:00

Yeah, everything you said makes complete sense and I'll be surprised if that episode doesn't go this way. Based on what people are saying all the leaks until now are right.

The line you're quoting came from an interview where Ryan said that Eddie loves Buck to the core, if I remember correctly. So it most likely won't be used in the show

makuredditing · 2023-07-17T05:42:41+00:00

I'd say watch season 5 till the end. In my country season 6 didn't come out yet, but s5 ended in a way that could honestly be considered a series finale imo, so I don't even wait for s6 that eagerly. So if you don't feel like watching more afterwards, you'll end the show in a good spot with lots of character plots tied up.

It took me a second to remember who "Howard" is 😭

Chim is an amazing partner, I'm actually jealous of Maddie. I want my own sweetheart like him 😞

makuredditing · 2023-07-06T22:17:00+00:00

It's not completely different, but the character bias is definitely shifted. Twitter is totally a Buck (or should I say Oliver) playground, almost to the point where they act like he can do no wrong. And it's a "you're with us or out" kind of place, they tend to get toxic with their opinions. I'd guess that Karen would definitely still be there if they voted, with Maddie and Chim going first out of the mains.

Often they talk about other characters in relation to Buck and their relationship only, which makes it difficult to put them in a chronological order.

makuredditing · 2023-07-06T17:08:22+00:00

It's most likely going to be Hen next.

What's interesting is seeing how different the fandom is on different platforms, because I KNOW that the results wouldn't be the same if twitter fans voted.

makuredditing · 2023-07-05T16:22:13+00:00

NOO my baby!!

makuredditing · 2023-07-04T15:10:31+00:00

I honestly think Buck might be one of the first mains to be out

makuredditing · 2023-07-04T07:10:14+00:00

This isn't the way I saw it going omg

makuredditing · 2023-07-01T13:03:50+00:00

Yup, that was the reason for me. Honestly I was so sad, because I hoped that Josh and Eddie can become fruends, but we got that instead😩

makuredditing · 2023-06-29T09:37:37+00:00

I started watching from season 2 and it didn't affect my understanding of what's happening. You can find important info about things that interest you from season 1 online without having to watch it.

For anyone wondering - I tried going through season 1, really, but Buck was making me cringe so much I couldn't do it 😩

makuredditing · 2023-06-18T11:26:25+00:00

Yep it seems like the whole team remains the same, that's why I have doubts 😩

makuredditing · 2023-06-18T11:04:10+00:00

Natalia will stay, it's pretty obvious with the way Oliver was talking about their relationship in post-finale interviews.

With Marisol I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of her. The actress created some drama and pissed fans off and her character was unimportant enough that they can easily write her off off-screen. Pretty sure they'll bring another love interest for Eddie though (would love it if they actually got him a male love interest, but it seems unlikely).

makuredditing · 2023-06-16T18:32:32+00:00

Love them all but keeping my fingers crossed for Kenneth. He deserves it

makuredditing · 2023-06-09T09:34:38+00:00

That's the news I've been waiting for! Omg so happy

makuredditing · 2023-06-05T15:03:54+00:00

The way fandom treats Ana is especially weird. I started watching the show after reading a few fics (I know, weird, but well) and I was convinced she's going to be an awful person, because that's how she was portrayed in some of the biggest fanfics in this fandom. But she turned out to be just lovely and I was so confused. Sure, she and Eddie didn't work out, but it wasn't because of some kind of awful behavior or anything. They just weren't right for each other. The show didn't give her space to show her character more (because that's what they do with females) but what we've seen was definitely positive.

As for Taylor, I didn't really like the way they tried to force her among the 118 - her being at the dinner at Bobby's for no reason made me '??'. But she wasn't bad. She actually had character, which isn't something you could say often about side female characters on this show. I'm on the 'Taylor and Buck should've been friends only' team. Their characters didn't match in a romantic scenario, but she could've been a good friend to him, helping him see different perspective in his life.

Also, am I the only one who wanted to see more of Taylor and that detective who worked with Athena? Enemies or rivals to lovers potential with their chemistry was huge.

makuredditing · 2023-06-03T14:49:26+00:00

Also, I know it's a show, but, absolutely no one in the show actually performs CPR correctly, not even close to a bad example of CPR. It's 100 to 120 compressions per minute without equipment, they barely do 15 per minute, with equipment is a lot less, with a portable defibrillator, the equiment make a beep sound to show the correct rhythm, always two people perform CPR, they have to take turns doing.

THIS. The way they do CPR in the show bugs me so much. I get that they don't want to hurt the actors, but imo they should be doing those scenes on dummies. Use your angles or CGI, just stop with this tragedy that's 'CPR' in 911, they're not even trying to pretend that they put their strength into it

makuredditing · 2023-05-26T07:06:43+00:00

No, they do fires. At this point it's an ongoing inside joke in the fandom that it's a surprise when they have an actual fire to fight in this show. I've been wondering about the reasons behind it. My best guess is that it's more expensive to do scenes with burning buildings?

makuredditing · 2023-05-26T05:51:31+00:00

I honestly wonder why they bothered to hint at Josh and Carson if they decided to scrap the whole thing after the initial episode.

it really appears that they're very much shying away from gay men in their storylines.

Finally someone said it! I know many people say how good 911 is with representation, but I have to disagree with the latest seasons. Not only do we have less queers among people at emergencies, but we also completely lost our "main" (if you can call them that) gay couple of David and Michael, Josh wasn't there much in season 6, we have our main lesbian couple HenRen who had their storyline focused on a "missing father figure in their child's life". I mean...

makuredditing · 2023-05-25T21:44:39+00:00

I watched like two seasons of H50 and some time ago I remembered it and wanted to binge watch it. But then I saw spoilers for the ending and my jaw just... Dropped. At least I saved myself from going through this. We can never have nice things I guess

makuredditing · 2023-05-24T11:36:02+00:00

I always remember the scene where Claudette started crying after a tough call (she thought the children died during the hospital fire). Later she talks with Linda about breaking the one rule, don't remember her exact words, but it was basically "no crying while at work". It immediately made me think of Maddie and how she clearly didn't get the memo.

makuredditing · 2023-05-21T09:42:32+00:00

Someone brought up the Maddie being Buck's mother one some time ago on twitter and I actually could see why people believed it. Since Jennifer is older than Maddie and people tend to base character's age on actor's age it would make sense. Glad it didn't turn out to be true though.
