Station 118 - Tumblr Posts
Real question. Do the 118 know about what happened to Buck and Christopher during the Tsunami?!!?!
Like they must know the basics, the pier, the fire truck, them being separated.
But do they know that Buck saved other people? Do they know that he played eye spy with Christopher to cheer him up? And turned him away from the dead bodies in the water? Do they know he walked for hours trying to find Christopher? That he was injured will looking for him?
More importantly does Eddie know?!?!!
Cause we see that Eddie thinks Buck lost Chris, but doesn’t blame him. But does he know that Buck jumped into the water after Chris something that was damn near suicide?! Does he know the lengths Buck went to try and get Christopher back to him?!!
Cause we never see them discuss this or mention it?!!
And I need them to discuss this. For Eddie to see that Buck will and always has gone to the extremes for Chris. I need Eddie to realise that he made the right choice in putting Buck in his will. I just… I want them to discuss this (not just Buck and Eddie but all the 118)
Yes, Eddie and Buck are gonna be facing their past traumas in 7x03 (helicopters and ocean), but let's not forget that 2/5 occupants of that helicopter have been involved in helicopter crashes.
Eddie has managed to successfully get in a helicopter post-army, as witnessed in 4x12. Not saying that he doesn't have trauma around them and it won't be important but Hen's helicopter trauma seems more significant this time round.
The last time she was in a helicopter (LS 2x03) she was basically going against orders and had recently lost someone in a car accident and had been doubting her ability to do her job because of it. Then, obviously, the helicopter crashed.
This time? Hen's getting in a helicopter while defying orders after very recently losing someone in a car crash that led to her once again questioning her ability to do her job. It's almost like history is repeating itself...
Point is, 2/5 occupants have been in helicopter crashes, 2/5 occupants have water based trauma, 1 occupant was previously promised it was his turn to go in the helicopter next (and he takes turn-taking so seriously it literally killed him) and 1 occupant is a miracle survivor of another vehicular based crash...
Needless to say, this helicopter is doomed.
I would love a montage of calls that are all romance related, specifically in one of two scenarios:
1. Buck and/or Eddie have realised their feelings for the other literally just before and have maybe confided in one of the others and gone 'yeah but I'm not gonna do anything about it, how hard can it be to get over this', cut to all these calls with really loved-up couples parting words of wisdom or just being really cute and them taking not-so-sneaky glances at one another throughout or
2. Buck and Eddie have literally just gotten together and are keeping it a secret for reasons (take your pick) and are like 'we act like this all the time, how hard could it be to keep it secret', cut to all these calls with really loved-up couples parting words of wisdom or just being really cute and them taking not-so-sneaky glances at each other, except this time they keep making eye contact and smiling really goofily at each other.
Obviously this montage is set to Frankie Valli's 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You'.
Season 8 should begin by recreating the opening of season 1 where Bobby's at confession (i think?) and is like 'everyone has their way of coping with the stress of the job', referencing drugs and alcoholism before cutting to Buck 1.0. They use the same dialogue, similar set-up, except the Buck 1.0 scene is replaced with shots of a fully tattooed Buck and a moustachioed Eddie with Hen and Chimney shaking their heads in the background at the questionable meat suit customisation that's happened since Gerrard's stress-inducing return.
The final scene for 7x10 that I came up with would hurt so good. Imagine:
Both the 118 and Harbor are working a major scene together and Tommy and Buck lose sight of the other. It cuts to Tommy piloting and then him calling out “mayday, mayday, mayday. Copter 1017 going down!” Then it cuts to black and we have to wait until 8x01 to find out what happens
