“this was his feelings realization” “this was bucks ‘oh.’ moment” nonono he is being crushed by his reality in ways he cannot even begin to grasp rn. his entire world is crumbling. all he knows is eddie is going to texas and his heart and mind are both blowing up in slow motion. no. first, buck buckley is going to go absolutely fucking chernobyl. he will tear this whole place down. and make a series of decisions so baffling it will actually force him to look inwards. and so then he will go “wow. is there a reason i was being Absolutely Fucking Bonkers Insane about all this?” and THEN he will realize.

Eddie: I’m moving back to El Paso to be near Chris.

Buck: EDDIE. I’m gonna be supportive but do you know HOW MUCH MORE BAKING I’m gonna need to do now.

Eddie: uh.. so…

Buck: I think Maddie needs a second wedding cake.

Eddie: what?

Buck: (manic) Do you have a copy of the Guinness book of world records?

Days later, Eddie and Chris watching tv in El Paso

TV Announcer: Again, our top story is that a strange bisexual man has built a full size replica of the Eiffel Tower- made entirely of lemon tort. Six people have died. And it has drawn back the swarm of killer bees from before.

Chris: Dad… is Buck ok?

Eddie: Chris, I can’t be honest about that and still stay here in El Paso.

Chris: oh.

really funny to me that buck and eddie were having two realizations at the same time but eddie’s was ‘he really is something else’ in the stupidest most fond voice in his head with a dopey smile while buck’s was ‘whatthefuckwhatthefuck whywhywhy nononono he cannot be leaving. god oh fuck and chris. am i ever gonna see him again? oh god, why does my chest hurt oh fuck why did i say i was gonna help him look for fucking houses shit fuck i’m gonna be sick—‘ in the most panicked freaked out voice ever while his face falls and he looks two seconds from breaking down. all of this happening while buck is. On The Couch and eddie is. In The Kitchen.

buffy the vampire slayer's commitment to acab is kind of beautiful actually. in seven seasons and 144 episodes, not once was a cop in any way useful or good at their job. at best cops are a nuisance and at worst they're actively trying to kill buffy and friends. you've really got to admire the thematic consistency.

Max’s motivations confuse me.

This isn’t a Max hate post. I actually think his inconsistent motivations make him a compelling character to watch, especially as the season(s) continue and he develops more.

Example A: He takes the job on the Odyssey on the first place because he wants a better work life balance. Except, now he’s living where he’s working. Speaking from some level of experience (RA at my college for 3 years), living where you work is actually kind of sucky if you want balance. You have to put in a lot of effort to turn off work mode.

Plus, all of your friends are then also your coworkers (or in his case, your boss or subordinates). It’s hard to relax and let your guard down, especially for someone as Type A as Max.

And he should know this difficulty. As an accomplished doctor who has worked in remote areas, I can’t imagine he was living very far from his patients and any coworkers he did have, who ultimately would be his friends as well.

So, why did Dr. Max Bankman really take the job?

Example B: He dances with and kisses Avery (his subordinate) literal minutes after Tristan (his other subordinate) confesses that he loves her.

Like, he knows he’s going to have to work with these people for the rest of the cruising season. Why would he invite that potential tension into the infirmary?

Example C: His “one-woman man” speech in reflection of the threesome. More specifically the fact that he gives the speech to both Avery and Tristan, but then doesn’t have any sort of follow up with Avery alone about being his “one woman”.

He said he enjoyed it, he had a good time. He didn’t mention anything in it about them being his subordinates, and we know he is distinctly attracted to Avery (see Example B). Why would he not say anything to her?

I think Max Bankman is not a confusing character, but a confused man, which makes him a compelling character to watch. And I am so excited to see him develop.
