Gonna go 911 negative for a minute, so look away if you're not into that.
But I am bothered by the focus on Buck with Gerrard in the new description. I mean, I generally understand why Buck would struggle with Gerrard when Bobby's gone and Buck has recently realized he's bisexual. But it bothers me so SO much that they have brought back Gerrard (and Tommy, though it's obviously a little different from the Gerrard bullshit—but still TWO characters from that same era) and don't seem to be doing anything at all with the fact that Gerrard totured Hen and Chimney because he's a racist, homophobic, misogynistic piece of shit. Like HOW have Hen and Chimney not been incorporated into this story in any significant way yet??
And maybe they will be. It's just concerning to me that Buck is the only one with the mention in regards to Gerrard. Which could well mean nothing—they do often provide episode and season descriptions that separate each character and give them a line that doesn't fully reflect the extent to which other characters are involved in their storylines.
But it is making me uncomfortable nonetheless. :/
#listen#i get that gerrard treating buck and potentially tommy badly due to their sexuality would be awful#and also could be interesting because buck has never had to deal with that kind of bigotry directed at him before#but it feels so much like they have been ignoring the very complex and horrifying trauma hen and chim were put through#at the hands of this man and if they brought him back just to be the bad guy tension for buck and they don't center hen and chim#whose stories were originally so wrapped up in gerrards's bullshit#well#that feels. not great.#911 spoilers#911 negativity#911 discourse
