#911 season 7 finale

[jackwhiteprophetic]

This was the three stages of my emotional response to the finale

[willowtreehigh]

If the 911 writers ever put Buck and Eddie together I tell you what it would be the best friends to lovers story arc I’ve seen on television and will be near impossible to beat because they would have DRAGGED it I’m talking slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww burn

The season 7 finale is one of those instances where a show has a huge amount of popular currency going into something (ie all the new fans from Bi!Buck- me included) and just fumbled the ball SO BADLY.

The bi!buck storyline could have been done so much better, but they glommed him to Tommy so fast the audience didn't get to see his journey for more than an episode, and then all we got was forced sexualization of his relationship (gee like no bisexual in the history of EVER has had that happen).

The pacing and the emotional beats were so OFF. Even the Eddie/Chris story, which was by far the most well done, still felt rushed and confused. I really can't get over how bad it was. I was so disappointed and it would be a shame for the show to move to ABC, build up all the buzz it did, and then tank the damn thing anyway because of shitty writing, bad relationship chemistry, and OOC behavior.

This is why I don't try new things.

Why do I get the feeling that the 118 is going to be a menace to Gerard... They are loyal, but their loyalty lies with Bobby, not with the Fire Department. It just so happens that Bobby was a part of the LAFD. Some serious shit is going to go down next season...

I fear Ryan and Oliver are throughly going to kill me tonight. Their chemistry and comfort with each other, on top of heavy emotional scenes together? Which they already knock out of the park when they have them. But this time ? Adding that extra layer of emotion with it being about Chris. And the coparenting aspects and just 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 their 1 minute clip had me crying. How am I going to survive the episode?

Oh Nonny, I have been asking myself the exact same question. You aren't alone, trust me. This episode is going to leave all of us on the floor, crying our eyes out.

Between Buck, Eddie and Chris; Bobby and Athena; Hen and Karen I fear we will all seize to live. But what a glorious ending it will be. 😭

You know what I wanna see this episode? I wanna see May and Buck together in Bobby’s hospital room. I wanna see May look at Buck, and think about how Bobby’s just as much his dad as her’s, and initiate a hug. I wanna see Buck sort of melt into it—because yeah, he really needed a hug—and turn it into the most big-brotherly bear hug, and it’s just really nice for both of them.

That was really one the finales of all of time. It takes talent to make an episode feel both rushed but like it’s dragging at the same time. Weird order of scenes, out of character actions and lines. I just felt whelmed about the whole thing.

I hope the writers take the time to plot everything out for season 8.

Me when I thought the same network that gave us Arizona and Callie and also Maya and Carina would finally give us Buck and Eddie after 7 seasons of queer baiting and sexual tension

[jackwhiteprophetic]

I have made my final episode bingo and I have made snacks and I am ready and there is soooo long until the episode ughh

[eddiediazismyhusband]

this episode has the potential to bring me back into actually being excited for episodes to come out or it has the potential to make me not watch next season until something promising happens because i actually cannot keep this up if they aren’t gonna do shit and just keep throwing tragedy upon tragedy upon tragedy on everyone

[buddiedaydreamer911]

13 minutes away. my heart is having palpitations. #nervous

Please stay.

Okay...

okay, okay okay okay

so THAT just happened...

[lyricfulloflight]

I feel like this episode is gonna break my heart and I’m so many different ways. And I’m genuinely even more afraid for the Christopher and Eddie portion of it all especially when I think about Ryan saying in that interview that he’s on his own for season 8 and it makes me wonder if this thing with Chris being with his grandparents is permanent or if maybe season 8 doesn’t start with a time skip. Basically my brain is going down a very dark rabbit hole of pain. And the only thing that could make it worse is if buck and Eddie have some kind of falling out (which ooooh Tim do not go there please).

I understand! I too am so worried about Eddie and Chris. And Bobby (don't you take my Fire!Dad away from me).

My solutions to this has been to take a step back from the meta, t he speculation, the promos and stills and clips etc. when I need to.

I love all the speculation and the ABC promo stuff, I truly do.

BUT when I get too overwhelmed or stuck in a negative spiral, I always go back and read my favourite Buddie/911 fanfics. Once I've been in those fanon worlds for a while, with the happy endings and love confessions and the domestic bliss, then I can dip my toes back into the discourse about canon and the finale.

Also - we are almost there! The episode airs about 4 hours from now! We will get answers, at least some answers. And then we can all support each other as we grapple with the outcome of the finale.

My blog will always be open to chat :)
