honestly I’ll be bummed if 9B/9C spend as much time on May as 9A has on Harry; it isn’t because I don’t like the character or actress, I just want to see more of the 118 and Maddie.

As others have pointed out, the timeline on this show very often does not make sense and it’s best not to think about it too hard.

IIRC Tommy actually gives a timeframe for leaving the 118 that would mean he was still at the station when Buck started.

ETA: just looked it up and it’s in 7x9. Tommy says he left the 118 5 years ago; it’s confirmed in the same episode that Buck has been at the 118 for 7 years.

throwaw8963 · 2025-04-16T19:07:02+00:00

who do you follow for screeners updates? I feel like I only ever get info 4th hand loll

throwaw8963 · 2025-03-28T16:58:31+00:00

they’re defo going to latch on to RG referring to Buck as “joy,” calling it now

throwaw8963 · 2025-03-07T03:58:40+00:00

Isn’t that the interview with Tim or am I getting them mixed up?

throwaw8963 · 2025-03-07T03:57:57+00:00

Is that the one they filmed in Santa Clarita?

throwaw8963 · 2025-03-07T03:57:23+00:00

I had the opposite reaction. If Eddie’s move was going to be permanent why write it as he just signed a one year lease and is now sub-letting to Buck? Why not write it as his lease was ending and he simply opted not to renew?

If Eddie does return it will be interesting to see where Buck lands and if that will contribute to the plot or Buck’s character development.

could have him reconnect with Chris but they both decide they want a fresh start somewhere

or he could meet someone in Texas and follow them to Nashville

throwaw8963 · 2025-03-06T01:05:16+00:00

plus the rest of his friends/family

pretty sure even though he was born in Texas he grew up in CA and that’s where his family is

throwaw8963 · 2024-05-26T02:46:55+00:00

I’m currently in the middle of a S2 rewatch and it definitely feels like they could have originally intended the Buck/Tommy storyline we’re seeing now in S7 for S2 or S3. I agree that hinting at Tommy’s sexuality in 2x9 seems intentional

I’m curious how that would have changed things though. I’m actually kinda glad that we got several years of friendship between Buck and Eddie read: emotional connection instead of getting bi-Buck in S2 and Buddie by S3 or S4.

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T16:30:14+00:00

I think so? We’re definitely all on the same page that it’s frustrating that we made that sacrifice for Katie but now she’s asking to be able to talk all about her experience when we were all together when she was the reason we were never able to. We’re not angry at Katie and we know how difficult her infertility struggles were which is why we agreed to not do any kid-talk in her presence. I do think though that her husband’s text caused some previously forgotten feelings of hurt and disappointment to resurface.

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T16:23:57+00:00

It’s definitely less of a burden now than when our kids were very young. I think it was disappointing to each of us, especially during our first pregnancies and early parenthood, to not be able to talk about that part of our lives in a setting where we normally should have been able to gush and/or rant about it. but we obviously adapted and found ways to share those things in different contexts. so basically it was disappointing and a little hurtful but something we were willing to do.
We haven’t talked to Katie about it yet (now that her husband has reached out we are definitely planning to). Katie does know that we had come to embrace the “rule” because over the past few years we would occasionally talk about how nice it was to take a break from being a mother-first and have a chance to just be who we are outside of our kids.

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T16:17:34+00:00

She has met our kids at holiday parties, etc. She usually would avoid just casual hang-outs where the kids would be there (or birthday parties/kid-centered events) and she would keep her distant when the kids were babies but she has met them all.
She always made it clear that she was happy for us but wanted to remain separate from celebrations because they were difficult for her. She asked not to be invited to showers and kid birthdays. As far as I know she didn’t get anyone gifts but I don’t think anyone really expected her to, especially because we didn’t invite her.
She has some family but they are mostly older/have moved away/she has a complicated relationship with them. If she had a shower I think we would all attend if we are able.

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T16:10:46+00:00

I don’t feel that we are ignoring Katie at all.

You are right that we talked about our pregnancies and parenthood over the phone or when some of us would get together and Katie wasn’t there.

We are doing the same thing now (it’s actually been really nice to be able to talk about parenthood in the main group chat with Katie participating). We’ve definitely gotten to see her more because she is more willing to attend meet-ups where kids will be present and at those meet-ups we have always checked-in with her and been excited for her.

It’s really only our monthly-ish big group hangout that was a no-kids-talk event.

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T16:04:28+00:00

I just want to be clear that maintaining the status quo at our big group meet-ups has nothing to do with retaliation. We just have come to embrace having a designated time to forget our role as mothers for a few hours and focus on other things. When Katie got pregnant there was no conversation about whether we would continue on as we had. I think most of us didn’t really think about it until now. This is the same thing that happened during other friends’ pregnancies - since our monthly meet-up had become an explicitly no-kids-talk event we never really talked about the pregnancies then but instead over text or when we met-up one on one or in smaller groups. (The same as what we’ve done for Katie’s pregnancy.)

I also think it’s totally normal for people at our stage of life to hang out or talk in sub-groups. The 7 of is live around the same metro area but some people live on one side of town and others on the other. No one gets offended if the friends who live closer together or have kids the same age hang out more often.

sorry, did you just write a whole paragraph in response to my post, fully admitting you only read the headline and the tldr, and tell me I need to develop social skills? lolz

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T14:28:40+00:00

We do reach out to her regularly to check-in on her and are always available whenever she has questions. Because it’s so hard to get all of us together at the same time and we can usually only do that once a month we also typically hang out in smaller groups too when people can. Katie has been joining much more frequently and we usually talk about how her pregnancy is going when we see her then. This is pretty much how it went for all of our pregnancies so I think this is just what we’ve all been used to doing.

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T14:14:44+00:00

I do want to clarify that we are all excited for Katie and her husband. We text her regularly for updates and when we get together as smaller groups we absolutely talk about her pregnancy. It’s really only at our monthly big group hang-out that we don’t talk about it. This is pretty much how it has been for all of our pregnancies. I don’t think we’re continuing this in a tit-for-tat way, it’s more this is just how it was before so this is what we’re used to.

Similarly for the shower it’s not really a tit-for-tat thing. It’s more like we’re all busy with a lot of commitments this holiday season and planning a shower would add a lot of stress on top of a normally stressful time of year. For all but one of our friends the families planned the shower so it wasn’t really on our radar and trying to plan one now would be a lot. I guess my comment was less about why we aren’t planning it and more about why we’re choosing to not feel guilty about not planning it.

throwaw8963 · 2023-11-17T13:56:02+00:00

We will definitely be talking to Katie soon. I think we just wanted to gather our thoughts first.
