Obsidian Musings

you know what i do actually like the buckley parents resolution. because yes buck was bothered by it but only in the general way buck is always bothered by change. maddie's the one much more emotionally affected by it and buck is the one who reminds her they do have a family they can count on. because buck is in a place where he knows he has a family, and trusts that family to come back for him. he realized that bobby always believed eddie would come back to LA, and that he feels the same way. his parents didn't come for bobby's funeral but eddie flew in. eddie was there. buck doesn't feel like he has a say in his parents' lives but he can fight with eddie in the kitchen and eddie will bring christopher home. buck can love his parents but he acknowledges that he doesn't need to. he had bobby's love. bobby raised him. he can forgive his parents because they don't need to be stable and give him unconditional love. because he can get that at the diaz house.

one of my biggest compliments to season 9 is how chimney becoming captain didn't suddenly give him a new personality. he juggles the new sense of responsibility and his usual sense of humor beautifully
