I rewatched 1x10 the other day and noticed the similarities between the two break-ups, like both Abby and Tommy tell Buck he is incredible, both can't believe they're leaving him behind. The difference is Abby wanted to be free and for once did something for herself and her own happiness (even if it hurt Buck in the process) while Tommy wanted so much to stay but denied himself the possibility of happiness (and hurt Buck in the process).

I still think the show used the Abby connection to highlight how Tommy really is different from all the other LIs, how he's now Buck's most important love, and it's a setup to have Buck fight for this relationship instead of just giving up like he did with Abby. Because this time he found someone who wants all of him.

so what’s all this then? 🤨 buck’s relationship with tommy was presented as buck breaking old patterns so why is he falling back into passivity with zero fight in him?

Btw, this is a good time to recommend everyone to watch The Exorcist TV show, especially if you like horror. Incredible writing, super respectful to the original movie, wonderful blend of horror and drama, and great characters, several of them queer including one of the main characters, a bisexual priest.

And God himself ships the two priests, lol.

It has two seasons, it was sadly cancelled on a cliffhanger but the main storyline of each season is closed, so truly worth a watch. Marcus is my favorite TV character of all time and Ben Daniels portays him wonderfully.

I think it's time for a rewatch for me!!

If that priest photo is recent...

Knowing how much this show likes to recycle storylines, I'm thinking that maybe they're gonna have Buck have a rebound with a woman (the serial killer or someone else), then he's gonna get back together with Tommy, they decide to take things slow, everything seems to be great this time, and then the woman comes back with a pregnancy announcement.

Then they can go the Henren route (Buck loves the idea of having a baby but is afraid Tommy is gonna bail again) or the LS route (he learns the baby is not really his and he's crushed). Either way they have drama for season 9 and a chance to strengthen Buck and Tommy's relationship with it.

what if Ravi, after a whole day of listening Buck talking about Tommy, is the one that tells him: "Call him. Please, just call him."?

What's up? 😏

So I've seen people saying things along the lines of 'Why are people still writing Buck/Tommy fics? They broke up like two months ago,' and I'm just like...

I also write fanfiction for a book series that was last updated in the 60's (before my parents were even born!) so who cares about them 'breaking up two months ago'?

[hidefan]

I just wanted to send a nice e-mail to ABC to humbly ask for more Tommy 😭

You know how we've been saying that having Tommy break up with Buck so Buck has to deal alone with Eddie and also Maddie possibly leaving feels like a rehash of season 5?

Well, I've always thought season 5 was gonna have the "Buck's SO is in danger" storyline. Why have Buck give Taylor a rescue beacon if it wasn't going to be used down the line? But I guess a lot of things might've been scraped after the whole Lucy fiasco and they never got to do it.

That's why I think crash the helicopter or something similar is a strong possibility now. They can have the SO is in danger paired with an angsty reconciliation arc, this time with an SO the audience really likes and who is already intertwined with the 118. What can be more juiciy than that?

Of course this also means the foreshadowing of this show a lot of times goes nowhere, but I still think the bubbling scene was too deliberate to ignore.

[hidefan]

season 8 two-part finale tommy crashes his helicopter and the 118 rescue him, he and buck get back together at the hospital, and finally get their dance, just the two of them together in tommy's hospital room

[hidefan]

You deserve so much better. That's why I'm walking away.

Me, reading into that one line that was written like 6 months ago about keeping up with Lou on 911:
