The Underdog

They thought he was a himbo. A pretty face on a great body, with decent acting skills. Good enough to be the love interest of the main character for several episodes.

It was a surprise when he rejected a full make out session. He opted for a gentle first kiss instead. It should be their first clue.

He added a thoughtful detail to the scene. People noticed and loved it. The kiss went viral.

At first, it was his good look which caught our eyes...

Soon enough, his nuanced acting and thoughtful subtleties kept our attention.

Within the limited dialogues and screen time he was given, he told the story through his soulful eyes and his micro expressions. We got the messages and we adored him.

But they never wanted him to stay long. His time was measured. He had to say goodbye and walked away. And he took our hearts with him.

So, when he turned his back on the door, we also turned our backs on the show.

do dick, duke jason cass and babs sometimes join in peter’s cape slander ?

(asking cause they don’t wear one)

only duke is allowed to because the rest of them HAVE worn a cape at some point. peter and duke add this to their "we're cooler than the rest of them" jokes as well (Super Power Buddies stick together)

How would a studio drinking party end up? Who’s sober who’s lost a shoe who’s so drunk there making out with the plant thinking it’s somebody else?

(I reckon no one here has had alcohol in decades so if they ever did find some, it would not go well.)

Hour One

Hour Two

Hour Three

Lesson learned: Do not peer pressure the near all-powerful man who has never had alcohol into chugging one

(I spent like 10 days or something procrastinating on this even though it was fun. Thanks for the ask!)

Roman : no

Choices Are Made on TV Shows...

BoBs often say choices are made on TV shows. It's basically their reason to justify their insistence that there are romantic meanings in a lot of Buck and Eddie scenes, which are often missed by casual viewers. They've been abusing this reason for a very long time...

Now, let me show you some examples of choices which were obviously made on this TV show:

1)) Eddie was reading a swimsuit magazine in a hospital setting.

Hospitals usually avoid having suggestive materials on their premises. They often have minors' presence, especially in the patient rooms. They don't want to get sued by helicopter parents. It means Eddie most likely brought the magazine himself. But, why bother? Why don't simply make Eddie scrolled his phone while he was talking to Buck and Tommy, a safer and more practical option?

Because they want to show that Eddie is interested in women, and not into the half-naked man who was laying on a bed in front of him.

2)) Buck and Eddie's hand shake was left in the cutting room.

There had been a BTS still of Buck and Eddie's handshake going around the internet before episode 8x05 was on air. The still prompted BoBs to make assumptions about the birth of canon Buddie romance.

The handshake actually signified a bet between Buck and Eddie. It was a cute moment, should be less than 1 second long, and emphasized the playful nature of Buck and Eddie's friendship. So, why did it get cut? The people in charge of the show have included Tommy's 'Oh, shit' moment, which was obviously just an undeliberate mistake (Lou slipped off), in episode 8x01. Why did they cut this handshake?

Probably because their social media team have seen the Buddie romance assumption made based on the handshake still. They didn't want to feed the beast. This cut is inline with their decision to make Eddie read a swimsuit magazine in a hospital room (as if Eddie couldn't browse pictures of naked women on his phone 🙄).

3)) There are other interesting choices made on this episode, which I've mentioned in my previous post (link).

For once, BoBs are right. Choices are made on this TV show. And this particular episode indeed has double meanings:

Tommy is Buck's chosen boyfriend (doting partner, besties with Eddie, welcomed by the 118 family).

The show is done with the Buddie bullshit.

These messages will probably fall into the deaf ears of BoBs, but at least the people in charge of the show have tried. They can't be accused of baiting, if their messages are well received by the general audience. It's not their fault that BoBs have media lliteracy issues.
