Dream Outside The Box

I don’t think Lou Ferrigno Jr knew that his reoccurring character in S2 would fundamentally change the trajectory of 9-1-1 and that’s fascinating to me.

BUCKTOMMY NATION HOW WE FEELING?

Manifesting that if Lou gets an interview, they don't ask him about his father 🙌🙏

Something I love so much about the bucktommy dynamic is that Tommy is the first partner he’s had that he didn’t save or didn’t meet while saving someone. Yes they were saving Athena and Bobby, but Tommy wasn’t an onlooker, he was the reason they were able to save them in the first place. He was very integral to the saving. He wasn’t won over by Buck’s firefighting skills or his cool job. He was won over by Buck being himself. He fell for Buck the person not Buck the firefighter. And maybe that’s a reason why he calls him Evan, maybe the writers wanted to show that distinction. Tommy didn’t fall for Buck the badass firefighter, he fell for Evan the goofy, jealous guy who maimed his best friend to get Tommy’s attention. Who called himself an ally while on his “first date with a dude”. Who invited him to his sister’s wedding on their second date after the first one ended in a dumpster fire. He fell for that guy. Not the guy repelling down buildings or fighting fires. Just Evan Buckley.
