What? Like It's Hard?

the only real shannon kameron parallel is their motherhood being erased so people can coo over how much their child looks like buck buckley

I've been turning it over this way and that, and I still don't understand why they meant for the Shannon parallel to work. Like, cinematically? Sure! It was shot the same way, easy to notice etc etc. But emotionally? That's not Buck's child or his family. It's his friend(s) he hadn't seen in four years and a kid he just met. And sorry but I simply don't believe that he formed such a deep bond with the kid already that he'd react similarly to seeing your wife lay dying in the street. It felt cheap, it felt lazy, it felt like trying to wrangle out an emotional response with no buildup whatsoever. Buck is an emotional guy, but he's been shown to be able to work past that before. They simply couldn't make me believe in the emotional coding of the scene at all.

is chimney han ever going to get an arc asking for a friend

its just the combination of eddie not wanting to date women but going out for a night to humor buck + buying himself at auction + correcting multiple people when questioned about whether he’s dating alex + NOT correcting anyone about him being married to buck even though it would greatly benefit his and buck’s safety and the fact he was being ACCUSED OF MURDER due to the fact that the spouse is usually the prime suspect. it all feels really pointed 😭

they sent abuela to the great big military lab in the sky 😔
