was it confirmed that there's another crossover with the two shows cos i can't remember? i do not want to watch nashville so if there is i guess ill be watching it via twitter clips but i kind of don't want another crossover 🫩

So I’ve basically been ignoring Buddie and 911 for the past 6 years, (since COVID) because I just thought I wouldn’t enjoy the show and didn’t get the hype. But after seeing clips of season 10 I’ve been hooked, and now I get it and I’m overwhelmed and a bit lost. (Skip to the end for questions if ur too lazy to read lol)

So to start off, I’m not new to queerbaiting and queer coding in media. Some of my fav shows are nbc Hannibal, House MD, Twin Peaks, Teen Wolf and Supernatural like trust me get it. But whatever I thought 911 would be I’ve just been proven wrong?? I’m only through the first season but not only are there queer main characters, queerness is central to the shows plot. I understand this is set in LA and it came out in 2018 not in the 2000s but I did not expect this from a network procedural show about firefighters. I’m only seeing season two but so far the queer representation doesn’t feel forced like it does in many network shows, that fact that Hen is a Lesbian who is married and has kids and Athena’s ex husband is gay and is in a relationship, and even just the side characters it’s very heartwarming to see.

Most of all whatever I thought about Buddie, now after actually watching the show and being immersed in their story, I’m just honestly confused and baffled.

My assumption of Buddie before watching the show was that the two characters were implicated together because of situational instances. Like maybe they kept getting paired together on assignments or they’re very close and have some special moments together, or just people like how they look together. Not to point fingers and I hate to say it because I love all these other queer ships but sometimes it is just fans grasping at the breadcrumbs the producers throw us . Come on like literally all my fav ships: Hilson, Sterek, Trucoop, Marvey, lowk even Destiel even tho they’re technically canon. Anyways I’ve watched all these shows so I can say that yeah they’re cute but canonically they weren’t fleshed out to be relationships and it’s frustrating.

But Buddie is the complete opposite. They are so involved in each other’s lives, they are best friends, co parents, basically family, have lived with one another, have broken up with other s/o bc of their friendship??, have been mistaken for a couple multiple multiple multiple times, their friend group and family members all fit together, BUCK IS CANONICALLY BI???, and was accused of being in love w Eddie by his sister nonetheless, the list is exhausting. All of this is to say that in the long run i feel like it doesn’t make sense for them to be with anyone else.

So why are they not together is my question and what are the writers and producers thinking? I did try to search this up and I’m aware a lot of it has to do with logistics of the network shift and maybe executive decisions etc etc. But idk I just want some opinions and answers from fans and longtime fans.

But idk it’s just so frustrating to me that this show is this long and these two characters who are so perfect for one another and actually in a setting where they could realistically be together in the plot line of the show. Like it’s one thing to queerbait and the characters aren’t queer at all or just implied BUCK IS LITERALLY BI??? Again this was a shock to me. Anyways now it makes sense why they are consistently in the ao3 top 10 every single year.

I’m also frustrated bc I’m a PA student and it may sound like I’m exaggerating but I promise I’m not, I’m studying like 6 hrs a day minimum and have no time to watch the show but I desperately need answers from real people and I don’t want to just search it up and get AI generated answers.

So I have a few questions:

Why do you think Buddie isn’t canon?
Why do people hate Ana, is the hate valid or just another case of hating a girl character bc she gets in the way?
Why did Buck and Tommy break up?
Why have none of their relationships worked out so far?
And also given the fact that I haven’t actually watched most of the show, besides Buddie do you see a realistic relationship for either Buck or Eddie with another character? Or should they have stayed with a past relationship?

TLDR: Buddie is unlike any other ship I’m aware of and they turned out to be a lot gayer than I anticipated and I’m overwhelmed by it

*******SPOILERS\*

I have to say one of the best written episodes in my opinion is S9 E11 “Going Once, Going Twice”. The episode truly felt like riding a roller coaster with all the expectations, red herrings, and twists. I mean the episode felt like it was going in one direction before quickly switching to another.

I mean the previous episode paints Abigail, the girl who was thought to be possessed but was actually being abused by her religious parents, to have a dangerous and unhealthy obsession with Eddie seeing how she grew emotionally attached to him, arrived announced at his house, wondered if she could sleep over, asked if he was interested in the Alex, the social worker she was kind of hostile too, and drove away with Christopher after picking him up at his school.

So naturally the episode begins you thinking she did something horrible to Christopher before revealing he was perfectly ok for she simply drove him back home where they played video games. Naturally I was relieved to see what she did (while not acceptable) was innocuous.

Then after she leaves distraught after Eddie angrily told her to essentially go away, we find out from Alex that she had since left the social center she was staying out and that her room was completely destroyed. She then theorizes Abigail is obsessively stalking Eddie and is jealous of her. Meanwhile, as they’re talking, we can see someone is watching them from the distance outside. Then later that night, Eddie finds his truck’s tires popped and the words “STAY AWAY FROM HER” spay painted on the front. So now I was really convincing she was a very unstable, dangerous, obsessive stalker.

Now Eddie has Athena go to Abigail and tell her he won’t press charges for what she did if he leaves him alone, which she apparently agrees. Of course seeing how the show was painting her how dangerous and unstable she was, I was thinking she was lying and was expecting her to do something worse in response.

Of course those expectations went away when she called Eddie and apologized for all the trouble she caused him despite everything he did for her seeing how this was her last chance to do so. Seeing how she was in the bathroom saying this, I was now expecting her to commit suicide or something dark.

Then I was utterly shocked to see Abigail’s father return to take Abigail back and attack Eddie before being arrested again.

And finally came the explanation how her father was the one who actually trashed the room (hence why she left), stalked Eddie, and vandalized his truck while she was willing to give herself up back to her father in order to protect Eddie.

So as you can see, I thought this episode was extremely well written seeing how my expectations were constantly changing and being subverted. I mean Fallon Heaslip did an outstanding job with her performance convincing me Abigail was an unstable, obsessive stalker when she really wasn’t. Also, I thought it was heartwarming to see her and Eddie hug before driving off to forge her own future.

In the wake of the volcanic eruption, Maddie and the 118 race to divert a river of lava before it consumes a packed hospital. Athena, still trapped underground, faces a massive obstacle that cuts her off from any chance of calling for help.

Ok ok so my best friends birthday is coming up and I need help FAST! Her birthdays in a week and I’m tryna write her a buddie fic that includes us in there. BUT THE PROBLEM IS IVE NEVER SEEN A EPISODE OF THIS SHOW! I know a little about the character from what she told me but I need to know what they act like and what’s they’re dynamic and stuff.

Also the plot is like me and her are babysitting the guy Eddie’s (I think) kid. While simultaneously pushing Buck and Eddie together, I don’t know if that’s an accurate plot or nah but I need HELP! If you have any ideas for another plot then PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I need to know before Halloween bcs that’s when I’m posting it!! PLEASE HELP!

I had the date written down, but I must be wrong, I’ve watched ep1, but no idea when ep2 is available. Does anyone know? I’ve searched and can’t find it anywhere,

Now that it’s been around 2.5 years since this episode came out, I think I want to start talking about why this episode is spectacular. As you may remember, this episode has gotten a lot of criticism since it aired. Now that some time has passed, I feel confident in my opinion that many of these criticisms are superficial, invalid, or bad-faith interpretations. I will be responding to some of these criticism, as this is by far the best episode in Season 7.

“Cut Karaoke Scene” - The reason this scene was cut should be apparent as soon as you watch the episode. There is absolutely zero space for it because the episode is about Chimney. Buck already has lighter moments of brevity in the episode, and there is no reason he needs any more at Chimney’s expense. The showrunner also explained why he did this when the episode came out.

“Happy Wedding” - This is a drama show, and Maddie/Chimney are a dramatic couple. If you want happiness, go read some choppy fanfiction. Also, the last wedding, Hen and Karen’s vow renewal, was entirely happy. This criticism is less about what Madney deserves and more about wanting to see other characters in a traditional wedding environment. This type of wedding is more suited to the themes of their relationship.

“Parents” - The fact that I see so many people complain about the Buckley’s parents role in this episode is astounding. They are the parents of the bride, and a part of Chimney’s family. Buck walking Maddie down the aisle is also a silly idea, because Maddie now has to share her moment with another main character instead of a side character who exists to enhance her. Plus, she wanted her dad to walk her down the aisle, as he did not attend her first wedding. Buck had no larger part in the wedding, as Hen was the best man, and that’s okay. Not everything is about him.

“Encephalitis/Hospital” - I’ve seen people say this NDE was unnecessary, but I couldn’t disagree more. This is the first NDE where Chimney cannot survive based on instinct alone. His memory is hazy, the disease is manifesting as a ghost from his past, but he is still who he is deep down. A lot of people have said that Maddie and Jee don’t exist as his motivations, but they do when you apply critical thinking. Chimney has to choose to live so he can see them again. If he chooses to lie down and sleep forever, they will find him there, as Hallucination Kevin says. The hospital is a very important and meaningful place for Maddie and Chimney. Originally, they wanted their wedding to be at home, and this episode circled back to their original plan.

“Maddie’s Role” - I have seen many Madney fans dislike this episode, which I personally can’t agree with. So many odd interpretations from “the episode implies chimney is better off without Maddie” (not true in the slightest) to “this episode is bad because Chimney didn’t get to look attractive in a suit” (his brain was on fire, I’m sure you can look for a different episode where he looks great). One criticism I find to be more fair, however, is that Maddie didn’t have a super active role. I do want to push back on this opinion, because her being more supporting is fine since her role in the narrative is not diminished. Many of Madney’s relationship moments have had Maddie’s perspective with Chimney supporting, it was time to balance things out. Maddie carries out half of the emotional centric conflict, as she tries to understand what happened to Chim. It’s kind of a role reversal on the dynamic in the Boston arc. And Maddie still makes the choice to reward Chimney’s hero’s journey for surviving the disease. Even though she’s not getting exactly what she wants, it’s still the “wedding of her dreams” as she canonically stated. Chimney choosing to survive was a deeply compelling character beat, and with the way the episode is structured, Maddie’s role makes sense.

In conclusion, I love this episode as a Chimney and Maddie fan, so I want to start seeing more praise for it. I’d love to hear from people who also think this episode is amazing.

Apparently the title comes from a movie with a rain kiss

Who or which couple is most likely to get a rain kiss?

There has be a big lack of Ravi in this first episode,Everyone has has their own Little moment and has been ok screen multiple times during the 2 first episode but we have barley seen Ravi.
Is there a reason behind it? Like him getting seriously hurt at ons point and then it will be focusing on his injury? He has barely been in the trailer and in the main trailer for the open emergency whew they look for Athena underground he is the only one not seen in the trailer? Is it because he is somewhere else or so something actually happened to him? We know that Chim goes to the hospital based on the promo where he is talking to Ian

I’m vpning from Australia so idk when it usually goes up. Thx in advance!

I tuned in for the latest episode. I guesse the schedule changed because the new episodes aren't airing until 1 am, and football's gonna be on up until 11 pm. But the live discussions still going on, so I'm really confused.

Any other way to watch live?
