JUST FOUND OUT TIM MINEAR REPOSTED THIS. LOVE THE SHOW, CAST AND CREW, THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING SHOW!!! We're so excited for what's in store for Buck and Tommy! ❤ HUGE THANK YOU to whoever sent my video his way!
I’m so happy this happened, I called it first and wanted them to reach this video. lol. I hope the powers that be see the amount of love and support for Buck and Tommy (Lou Ferrigno Jr). ❤
When us queer folks realize that we’re part of the queer community, a big piece of who we are finally makes sense. It’s like discovering your true identity. I think there’s an unspoken reason Tommy calls him Evan. This isn’t Buck 1.0, Buck 2.0, or even Buck 998.7629. This is Evan. We’re seeing Evan for the first time and Buck likes being Evan. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention this before. It’s smart writing. The way Buck’s demeanor went from happy for his sister to giddy at Tommy’s text made me feel like Buck has found someone and something substantial. He never made that face in his previous relationships. I really hope Tommy sticks around and I really hope everyone continues to show the nuances of a newly realized queer character in a queer relationship. It’s special and so far it has been handled with care.
I had the same thought about Tommy calling him "Evan" instead of Buck. Lou said in a Cameo that he is not allowed to call Buck "Buck". The script supervisor is very strict apparently. So it's definitely very intentional.
Brilliantly said! Thank you. I hope Tommy sticks around too. They've started something special. It would be disappointing for it not to continue into S8. I hope it's their intention to give their relationship longevity but we won't know until S8 cast announcements. Fingers crossed.
I read Tim sharing your video as the best evidence we have right now that they intend to continue with Buck and Tommy into Season 8. Congrats, by the way!
they have really struck gold with this relationship, and to think it wasn't even intentional from the start of the show, but everything managed to come together in such a way that tommy makes so much sense for buck!! I hope they take advantage of this story and how everything has worked out beautifully for it to comw together and finally give buck the long term and lasting relationship he deserves and has been craving for years
Yes, two guys who have had lives being used to being at the short end of the stick, both making a point to make each other their priority. It is amazing how it's all fallen into place.
So happy that Tim Minear, showrunner of 911, saw this video and shared it on his Facebook! Such a good video. I had to do a rewatch. Still as good as the first time.
It started as a cute storyline but I was sold when Buck said ‘I kinda can’t stop thinking about him’. Plus Tommy being willing to be there for Buck despite being on standby and coming to the hospital immediately after shift.
I absolutely love the whole Invisible String thing with them. Because of the fact that it was totally by accident. They'd never even planned to have the two of them MEET let alone start dating! And yet there are all these little things all throughout the show that just links them and it just makes it feel so natural. I am very excited to see more of them, and I really hope they carry them on into Season 8. (I think they will, they've mostly had a very positive reaction from fans...)
This gives me hope and strengthens my belief about the existence of God. I've read so many stories about real life coincidences and invisible string events on the internet, but this... this is different. This is real... happening in front of our very own eyes... in front of legions of people who have been watching the show. I couldn't believe that so many coincidences happened in the *production of a freaking TV show, spanning over 6 years period🤯🤯🤯!!!* It feels like not only us, even God wants them to be together. I mean, what is the odd that Lou Ferrigno Jr. was available for, or even agreed to this storyline? The last time he's been on the show was literally 5 years ago!
Character and story wise, there have been SO MANY dominoes that have had to specifically fall in regards to various events, that had to happen to even allow for them to meet. It's kismet.
1) Tommy's favorite movie is "Love, Actually" and buck had a character-centric episode titled "Buck, Actually." 2) Buck sits in the exact same place that Tommy used to sit. 3) Tommy said: "Chicks love scars, it’s getting them that scares them." This line is a direct foreshadowing for Ali breaking up with Buck after the fire truck incident.
@@elliottwatt5297No it doesn't. It just means that the connection between Buck and Tommy was accidental, which makes the whole thing even more iconic. They weren't supposed to be together, hell i'm not even sure if they were going to meet each other at all, but at the end of the day everything pushed them to become a couple.
What impressed me the most about Tommy's introduction as a love interest was that he isn't sequestered off away form the 118 like all the others have been. He knows them, knew some before Buck did, and they established a relationship for him with Eddie and Chris before he and Buck had their moment. So much of that loft scene before the kiss was about Tommy reassuring Buck of his significance to Eddie and Chris, and how that wouldn't be an issue. He feels integrated in a way that's new and feels long-term. Now, shirtless Muay Thai lessons when??
I am here for Buck/Tommy ❤ Also, if Buddie (Buck/Eddie) shippers need consolation, I joke that Tommy was first dating Eddie, but Eddie was so clueless to it. 😂
@@KAriedoll Someone told me that in his latest interview, Ryan Guzman mentioned that Eddie was heterosexual 4x in a row. Sounds like he was determined to drown the ship😂.
At first, this relationship caught me by surprise because the show made it seem like Buck was jealous of Tommy spending so much time with Eddie. But then the moment leading up to Buck and Tommy's first kiss had me hooked on these two. You're absolutely right about the 118 treating Buck like a lovable little brother who screws up from time to time. Tommy, on the other hand, sees Buck as an individual and brings out the best in him. Just look at how confident he was in the hospital showing off their relationship to everyone! Buck's growth during these past few episodes alone has been a pleasure to watch. Plus, Buck is absolutely smitten with Tommy and he seems much happier with him than with any of the women he's dated in the past!
I LOVED the show's "misdirection," taking advantage of (poking fun at) the "Buddie" mania. I think that we (especially this video) are reading too much into less than 10 minutes of screen time. Remember, this is just the beginning of the storyline. Buck is obviously suffers from "youngest brother" syndrome at the 118. I agree that he is constantly the victim of "backhanded" complements. HOWEVER, that is definitely NOT the case with Maddie.The Buck/Maddie relationship is a textbook case study of the incredibly unique bond between siblings. There is nothing "mean" or "backhanded" about her comments. It is how deeply connected siblings interact. That is why the whole Daniel storyline was so heartbreaking.
I found your video because there were screenshots going around that Tim Minear shared it on facebook so I just had to check it out. And I'm so glad I did! I love your whole rundown of Buck's previous relationship, the invisible string (and there's so much more!), the reasons this relationship has a much more stable base than Buck's previous relationships.. and I also really like your take on Abby and how her decisions would have been framed in a different setting!
I’m still watching through your video, paused and had to comment so far out of excitement! I’m so happy someone else is seeing all these less obvious back story clues about Tommy (his own battle), the arrival of Buck in his place, and the names etc!! I have such a renewed love for this show just because of this new love storyline. I could go on… wonderful video. I love Buck and Tommy!!❤
The fact several of their scenes have been nearly identical to Tarlos and Buck talking to Eddie about Tommy nearly identically mirrors Carlos talking to Michelle about TK. Oliver also said he’d like to continue down the same threads as Tarlos! This is such an interesting relationship dynamic!
I'm so happy to finally see a masculine gay couple I'm here for buck and tommy 100% I get the hype with eddy but it's OK let him be straight and the brotherly figure. I really hope to see more of lou
I love your video! And I've been saying this, they really made a great choice by bringing back, already existing character to be a love interest. There is also something to Buck and Tommy relationship that just feels very RIGHT in a way. Even tho it was not intentional on the writers part, I love how their stories seems to be connected in a way. I truly hope that Tommy is the one for Buck. We are at the end of season 7, I think that this is the time for them to keep Buck's love interest
And it shows that Tommy has grown up himself. He was not nice to Chimney or Hen when they first started with 118...but he was following the crowd wanting to belong because I think he already knew himself he was gay and not able to be honest with them. But the way Buck says how confident Tommy is, I thought yes, because he has become his own man now.
Tommy is the only relationship buck has had which actually feels genuine. More chemistry in those two kisses then in any other sex scene buck has been in. Ooft hot damn.
this is such a good deep dive!! i didn't even notice or think about a lot of the things you touched on and talked about so this was so cool to watch!!! i rlly love buck and tommy's relationship and i hope we get to see more of it in season 8 bc i rlly do not want tommy to be just gone after this season ;-;
There's only so much of the same stagnant course of his love life that fans could take before they gave up. The excitement people are feeling for Buck finally having that love, is widespread and returning so many fans. The people who refuse to give Tommy a chance and the story it's due time to develop must not love Buck. Because how can you see how happy he has been since Tommy, and not be excited for him? Whether they last or not (i pray they do) i will be as happy for him as he is being with Tommy.
Really love this video. Buck is my favorite character on the show and for years I was hoping the story would go here eventually. I actually rewatched seasons 1 to 6 after 704 aired and it was so fun to find all these hints and things that just make total sense now. I do hope Buck and Tommy's relationship will last for quite a while. Even before this season I was hoping they'd partner him up with someone more permanent. Another main or a character that would eventually become one, or at least a recurring character like Karen has been. Fingers crossed!
In some ways I think Buck is the most tragic character in the series, he’s the guy with a heart of pure gold, whose been searching his whole life for a place and a family where he belongs and time and time again he’s ended up lonely and rejected and rarely if ever for reasons that were his fault. I just think back to the start of season 6 where Bobby tried to explain to Buck why he didn’t think he was ready to be Captain, Buck seems so confident and at ease with himself since Tommy that I really hope this opens the door to other character development for him too.
Oh wow, I love how intricately this video examines everything! Buck and Tommy have my whole heart, their love story is incredibly beautiful and they deserve to be endgame ❤
I love in episode 100 when Buck went to visit Tommy, you can see moments of happiness for Buck while interacting with Tommy. Plus, Tommy was checking out Buck and the pause/rewind I did to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Also, after they resue everyone from the cruise ship, Buck was sitting up front with Tommy. They also had a little interaction when everyone was being reunited.
I've been enjoying these two for the great development they bring and the interesting pair that they are, but I must say, you brought up some extra points I hadn't thought of yet. What a great-put video! Keep it up
OUTSTANDING. Your passion and love for the show comes across as so authentic and effortless. Not sure I’ve seen such a wonderfully inspiring character breakdown anywhere on RUclips. Keep it up! ❤
Loved your storytelling skills. Loved the video I also love Buck and Tommy!. I just hope they give with this storyline the unconditional love that Buck deserves because he looks so happy 🥺 Plus I love that I'm not the only one who doesn't see his previous girlfriends as monsters, Buck also gained maturity because of them. Thank you for the video!.
What a great video! The invisible string of it all may not have been purposely planned from s2 but it could be effortlessly explored in the show from here on out because of how well both of their storylines mesh together. They're absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see more of them. Thanks for the great video!
Wonderful analysis! I'm noticing the complimentary nature in their characters. Buck is impulsive and reckless, I mean, this is well established in the exploration of his character. What I've seen so far of Tommy is that he's considerate and self-reflective: checking in with Buck about the kiss, walking away from the date because he didn't want to rush him. I feel like we've seen the downside of this self-reflection in Tommy suppressing his sexuality in the era of Capt Gerard at the 118. I'm glad he was able to use it to come out, become confident and meet Buck. I look forward to seeing how these differences play out in their relationship.
Oh, you're so right. Tommy's character is quite the opposite of Buck's, but they are complimentary. I've been re-watching Season 2 episodes with Tommy in them, and he was like a different character. I think, like Buck, he has been through quite a journey + character development since leaving 118. I mean, Season 7 Buck is clearly not the same punk we saw in Season 1. If we compared both versions id Buck, we would hardly recognize them as the same person. Oh, I hope they make Tommy a reguler and give us a 'Tommy Begins' journey. It would be interesting.
I loved your video. Thank you so much for your wonderful deep dive with Buck, his Bisexual Journey and his relationship with Tommy. I adore the relationship between Buck and Tommy. I loved how you mentioned these little moments about Buck's friends teasing him with quotes like "Bucked that Up", which is essentially why I love the fact that Tommy is calling him Evan and that Buck is obviously comfortable being called Evan by Tommy. (With his parents, we've observed that Buck is capable of calling people off from calling him Evan.) He's not going to "Buck Up" that relationship because around Tommy, he's Evan, and they are actually building a foundation based on communication. Tommy checked twice after kissing Buck for the first time ("Like that?" and "So that was OK?") and Tommy also took a step back when Buck panicked during the date and shoved him back into the closet. In turn, Buck gathered the confidence to talk about this with his sister and his best friend. He made the decision to reach out for Tommy again and they went from there with a pretty solid foundation, if you are asking me. I am genuinely looking forward to the next two episodes because it seems like we'll get another hospital scene where Tommy shows up to be there for Buck. I am also sincerely hoping to witness their relationship flourish even more during season 8.
You're so lovely!!!! And thank you for this video, it was perfect. You managed to cover up everything with all the small yet important details that makes buck's storyline whole. I am so happy tim saw the video!
I absolutely loved in the notes of the video that you put in that Buck's love life has mirrored his work life because I've said the same thing and I think it's absolutely true.
03:36 I'd actually argue that Buck was queer coded from season 1, although to a lesser extent than season 2 for sure. But we all remember his bonding with that gay guy and the tape worm right 😂 06:07 If I'm remembering correctly, I don't think at the time fans did dislike his relationship with Abbie. I think it was more hindsight with her ghosting him and the show getting a bit more serious that people realised the way she got his number being a bit creepy that turned people off them as a couple. Such a good video! Thank you for sharing with us.
Amei esse vídeo e as avaliações dos relacionamentos do Buck. Talvez estejamos presenciando o endgame de Buck, e ele claramente deseja muito todo esse amor e assim como o próprio, acho que Tommy pode ser essa pessoa. Great video ❤
This is a very deep and thoughtful analysis of the Buck character. Not only you weaved the clues and breadcrumbs nicely, you also said it eloquently. The way you described how fragile Buck's relationships in the past, likening them to sticks & hays, or glass castles, really pointed it out. You said what was on my mind and some more. Thank you for making this video🙏🙏🙏🙏.
YES, it's been slow and steady. Feels natural. However, I remind you that Tim Minear used to work under Joss Whedon at Buffy. Joss's definition of drama was "We find out what a character wants and make them struggle to get it, then when they finally do, we hit them over the head with a baseball bat and take it away from them. Just sayin'. Keep an eye open.
This is one of the best breakdowns of the BuckTommy relationship 👏 Everything that I've been saying to ppl, u just said & more. I totally forgot about Abby's mom calling him Tommy. Or even all those other 6 degrees of separation moments 🤭 Great video
Thank you for this video btw! Its really well put together, it explains everything pretty well. I'd send this to people (buddie fans) who ask why i like these two together
I loved this video! I'm loving BuckTommy so much. I heard the rumor about them about a month and a half before the season aired and was so surprised ?? The fact that it actually happened... I've been watching this show since s4, headcanoning Buck as bisexual, clinging to the hope they'd do it 1 day... and wow... they did!! and I love this relationship more than I even expected. The fact these are all coincidences is so shocking, but at the same time, they couldn't write it better if they planned it. I'm so happy to see a positive video about BuckTommy. They need and deserve the positivity!
I keep coming back to this video to soak up the positivity! So very hopeful that they will continue to invest in and build the relationship between Buck and Tommy over the coming seasons.
I absolutely love this breakdown! I agree 100% not only as a fan of the show and of course Buck but also as a relationship coach you hit the nail right on the head! I am so looking forward to season 8 and Buck and Tommy’s love story.
I LOVED this! I love the breakdown of Bucks past and how he has gotten to where he is today and how he has evolved. I really, really would love a Tommy Begins episode or like with this video, a look back deeoer into his past and how he ended up where he is today. Its so sad because Lou and Tim both have said how Tommy grew up lonely and with bad parents as well. His oast could even rival Bucks. So to see these two broken souls come together....😍😍😍
I just started watching 911 a few months ago. I had a couple of my Facebook friends comment on this storyline, but I didn't watch the show so I wasn't familiar with the characters. Then the promos for season 7 and wrecked cruise ship came out and I thought ok, I'm going to start it on HULU. Fell in love with the show INSTANTLY!!!! And Buck most of all! I love all of the characters, but Buck just stuck out to me in the first season. I guess I am only one of a few that liked him with Abby. She helped him to start growing up. Now I was PISSED with the way she left and never actually broke up with him. Yes, everyone knew it was over, but I feel like she should have at least sent him a message or something. Then she just breezes back into town in a train wreck and want them to save her fiancée. I know they talked at the end of the episode, but I still wasn't satisfied LOL!! The few people I saw talking about the Buck/Tommy episode said they did not like the development. And I was a bit confused, but I tried to stay neutral until I saw the actual episode. And after his brush with death, or rather when he died. (Which that episode of Buck in hospital and learning that HE is enough... dear Gawd when he took that breath I boo'hood like a baby!!!) but I digress... after that episode, it totally fits that he would discover this about himself. I could go on and on... But I love the storyline. and Thank you for breaking it down. I am always looking for people to have these deep discussions with about tv shows I watch!! 🙂
tbh I watched 911 because I heard there was a gay storyline and saw clips about Buck but I didn't know it was all the way in season 7 but there was Hen and the storytelling of this show really pulled me in so I didn't throw the tv show away but I was never expecting Tommy and buck would get together although i really love it, I always thought it would be buck and Eddie from the very beginning and I still remember s2e08 the influencer live stream they teased buddie really thought it would happen but i don't think its coming anymore after Tommy, hope they tell a beautiful love story between buck and tommy at least
Lovely video, I agree on a lot of your points. I think a fair amount of people are too hard on Tommy, especially a small subset of Buddie shippers. I’m fine with either being endgame, but I really want them to have Tevan last a while and develop their relationship. I’d love to see the flying lessons or muay thai and see how some of Tommy’s maturity and confidence can be used to rub off on Buck and help him adapt some of those traits. I really hope they handle this properly.
I see Buck as a younger version of Tommy, they are extremely similar in a lot of ways. So, seeing them together just makes sense. Oliver and Lou both being gorgeous does not hurt either ❤
Tommy is the right person for Buck at this time. Unlike Tommy, Eddie has a lot of issues to deal with before he can give himself to anyone in a relationship.The most important thing is Bucks' happiness, right?
Awesome video! New subscriber. 😊 I love the affection between Buck and Tommy so much! They make each other happy and Buck's eyes seem to sparkle around him. I enjoyed you pointing out the little things here and there with Tommy's name and Buck's life through the seasons. ❤

Me too
Girl, this was so good! What an honor for Tim Minear to have his work analyzed and discussed in this way!

He was not nice to Chimney or Hen when they first started with 118...but he was following the crowd wanting to belong because I think he already knew himself he was gay and not able to be honest with them. But the way Buck says how confident Tommy is, I thought yes, because he has become his own man now.
Tommy is the only relationship buck has had which actually feels genuine. More chemistry in those two kisses then in any other sex scene buck has been in. Ooft hot damn.
Love your analysis here.. I'm loving Buck and Tommy. I think they have a good foundation and I can't wait to see how they develop.
this is such a good deep dive!! i didn't even notice or think about a lot of the things you touched on and talked about so this was so cool to watch!!! i rlly love buck and tommy's relationship and i hope we get to see more of it in season 8 bc i rlly do not want tommy to be just gone after this season ;-;
I think everyone else in the comment expressed this better so i will settle for an "i love this" and i'm so glad tim saw it! Great job
There's only so much of the same stagnant course of his love life that fans could take before they gave up. The excitement people are feeling for Buck finally having that love, is widespread and returning so many fans. The people who refuse to give Tommy a chance and the story it's due time to develop must not love Buck. Because how can you see how happy he has been since Tommy, and not be excited for him? Whether they last or not (i pray they do) i will be as happy for him as he is being with Tommy.
I never missed a episode but I sure did miss these clues and hints thanks for pointing it out.
Really love this video. Buck is my favorite character on the show and for years I was hoping the story would go here eventually. I actually rewatched seasons 1 to 6 after 704 aired and it was so fun to find all these hints and things that just make total sense now. I do hope Buck and Tommy's relationship will last for quite a while. Even before this season I was hoping they'd partner him up with someone more permanent. Another main or a character that would eventually become one, or at least a recurring character like Karen has been. Fingers crossed!
Exactly, I love Tommy (and adore Ferrigno Jr). I want him to be permanent like Karen. Please!😅❤

OMG Tim posted this
In some ways I think Buck is the most tragic character in the series, he’s the guy with a heart of pure gold, whose been searching his whole life for a place and a family where he belongs and time and time again he’s ended up lonely and rejected and rarely if ever for reasons that were his fault. I just think back to the start of season 6 where Bobby tried to explain to Buck why he didn’t think he was ready to be Captain, Buck seems so confident and at ease with himself since Tommy that I really hope this opens the door to other character development for him too.
Oh wow, I love how intricately this video examines everything! Buck and Tommy have my whole heart, their love story is incredibly beautiful and they deserve to be endgame ❤
9:45 tommy was like im getting all signals from you evan that you may not know your sending out even oliver said that lol
I love in episode 100 when Buck went to visit Tommy, you can see moments of happiness for Buck while interacting with Tommy. Plus, Tommy was checking out Buck and the pause/rewind I did to make sure I wasn't seeing things.
Also, after they resue everyone from the cruise ship, Buck was sitting up front with Tommy. They also had a little interaction when everyone was being reunited.
I love your analysis of buck’s story. It’s absolutely one of the best and well thought out looks I’ve heard in a long time. Thanks for sharing 😊
I've been enjoying these two for the great development they bring and the interesting pair that they are, but I must say, you brought up some extra points I hadn't thought of yet. What a great-put video! Keep it up
OUTSTANDING. Your passion and love for the show comes across as so authentic and effortless. Not sure I’ve seen such a wonderfully inspiring character breakdown anywhere on RUclips. Keep it up! ❤
Terrific analysis and very well presented.
Loved your storytelling skills. Loved the video I also love Buck and Tommy!. I just hope they give with this storyline the unconditional love that Buck deserves because he looks so happy 🥺
Plus I love that I'm not the only one who doesn't see his previous girlfriends as monsters, Buck also gained maturity because of them.
Thank you for the video!.
What a great video! The invisible string of it all may not have been purposely planned from s2 but it could be effortlessly explored in the show from here on out because of how well both of their storylines mesh together. They're absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to see more of them. Thanks for the great video!
I loved this video SO MUCH! It's clear how you care about these characters and the intelligent way you approach their journey until they meet.
They are perfect together Buck looks happy. Really hope nothing happens to either of thxem
Really hope, that Buck and Tommy will be endgame. They are perfect for each other.
Wonderful analysis! I'm noticing the complimentary nature in their characters. Buck is impulsive and reckless, I mean, this is well established in the exploration of his character. What I've seen so far of Tommy is that he's considerate and self-reflective: checking in with Buck about the kiss, walking away from the date because he didn't want to rush him. I feel like we've seen the downside of this self-reflection in Tommy suppressing his sexuality in the era of Capt Gerard at the 118. I'm glad he was able to use it to come out, become confident and meet Buck. I look forward to seeing how these differences play out in their relationship.
Oh, you're so right. Tommy's character is quite the opposite of Buck's, but they are complimentary. I've been re-watching Season 2 episodes with Tommy in them, and he was like a different character. I think, like Buck, he has been through quite a journey + character development since leaving 118. I mean, Season 7 Buck is clearly not the same punk we saw in Season 1. If we compared both versions id Buck, we would hardly recognize them as the same person. Oh, I hope they make Tommy a reguler and give us a 'Tommy Begins' journey. It would be interesting.
I loved your video. Thank you so much for your wonderful deep dive with Buck, his Bisexual Journey and his relationship with Tommy.
I adore the relationship between Buck and Tommy. I loved how you mentioned these little moments about Buck's friends teasing him with quotes like "Bucked that Up", which is essentially why I love the fact that Tommy is calling him Evan and that Buck is obviously comfortable being called Evan by Tommy. (With his parents, we've observed that Buck is capable of calling people off from calling him Evan.)
He's not going to "Buck Up" that relationship because around Tommy, he's Evan, and they are actually building a foundation based on communication. Tommy checked twice after kissing Buck for the first time ("Like that?" and "So that was OK?") and Tommy also took a step back when Buck panicked during the date and shoved him back into the closet. In turn, Buck gathered the confidence to talk about this with his sister and his best friend. He made the decision to reach out for Tommy again and they went from there with a pretty solid foundation, if you are asking me.
I am genuinely looking forward to the next two episodes because it seems like we'll get another hospital scene where Tommy shows up to be there for Buck. I am also sincerely hoping to witness their relationship flourish even more during season 8.
You're so lovely!!!!
And thank you for this video, it was perfect. You managed to cover up everything with all the small yet important details that makes buck's storyline whole.
I am so happy tim saw the video!
I absolutely loved in the notes of the video that you put in that Buck's love life has mirrored his work life because I've said the same thing and I think it's absolutely true.
Thank you. I wanted to talk about it more but the vid would have been way too long lol.
Amazing video! Also Tim Minear reposted it on his Facebook congrats 🎉
I’ve watched this video so many times because you truly just Get Buck’s character and narrative on such a fundamental level. Fantastic work!
they blew me out of the water by FINALLY exploring Buck’s bisexuality!!! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
A really insightful, well constructed, engaging and illuminating video - thank you.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
I love this so much!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Can I just say how much I appreciate this video and all the positivity in the comments? Since the fandom has been a dumpster fire elsewhere lately 😂
03:36 I'd actually argue that Buck was queer coded from season 1, although to a lesser extent than season 2 for sure. But we all remember his bonding with that gay guy and the tape worm right 😂
06:07 If I'm remembering correctly, I don't think at the time fans did dislike his relationship with Abbie. I think it was more hindsight with her ghosting him and the show getting a bit more serious that people realised the way she got his number being a bit creepy that turned people off them as a couple.
Such a good video! Thank you for sharing with us.
dude yeah as a bi guy he gave me queer vibes from s1
Tapeworm guy in S1. In the bathroom scene Buck is clearly quite flirty with him, even Bobby initially looks confused as to what’s going on.
Love your deep dive on Buck/Tommy. I'm really enjoying them and how smitten Buck seems to be.
Amei esse vídeo e as avaliações dos relacionamentos do Buck. Talvez estejamos presenciando o endgame de Buck, e ele claramente deseja muito todo esse amor e assim como o próprio, acho que Tommy pode ser essa pessoa. Great video ❤
omggggg amazing vídeo I LOVE BUCKTOMMY ❤️
This is a very deep and thoughtful analysis of the Buck character. Not only you weaved the clues and breadcrumbs nicely, you also said it eloquently. The way you described how fragile Buck's relationships in the past, likening them to sticks & hays, or glass castles, really pointed it out. You said what was on my mind and some more. Thank you for making this video🙏🙏🙏🙏.
YES, it's been slow and steady. Feels natural.
However, I remind you that Tim Minear used to work under Joss Whedon at Buffy. Joss's definition of drama was "We find out what a character wants and make them struggle to get it, then when they finally do, we hit them over the head with a baseball bat and take it away from them.
Just sayin'. Keep an eye open.
Good point Big Ed
This is one of the best breakdowns of the BuckTommy relationship 👏
Everything that I've been saying to ppl, u just said & more. I totally forgot about Abby's mom calling him Tommy. Or even all those other 6 degrees of separation moments 🤭
Great video
Thank you for this video btw! Its really well put together, it explains everything pretty well. I'd send this to people (buddie fans) who ask why i like these two together
I loved this video! I'm loving BuckTommy so much. I heard the rumor about them about a month and a half before the season aired and was so surprised ?? The fact that it actually happened... I've been watching this show since s4, headcanoning Buck as bisexual, clinging to the hope they'd do it 1 day... and wow... they did!! and I love this relationship more than I even expected. The fact these are all coincidences is so shocking, but at the same time, they couldn't write it better if they planned it.
I'm so happy to see a positive video about BuckTommy. They need and deserve the positivity!
The way you talk about the first kiss is what makes that first kiss so epic.
Great video and analysis really exited to see more about them on the show
I keep coming back to this video to soak up the positivity! So very hopeful that they will continue to invest in and build the relationship between Buck and Tommy over the coming seasons.
Beautiful video!! Love 911❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing!!!
I absolutely love this breakdown! I agree 100% not only as a fan of the show and of course Buck but also as a relationship coach you hit the nail right on the head! I am so looking forward to season 8 and Buck and Tommy’s love story.
You have totally nailed it!! Best video ever!! ❤️❤️
I love Buck and Tommy together, they are so sweet and fitting so well! ❤
I LOVED this! I love the breakdown of Bucks past and how he has gotten to where he is today and how he has evolved. I really, really would love a Tommy Begins episode or like with this video, a look back deeoer into his past and how he ended up where he is today. Its so sad because Lou and Tim both have said how Tommy grew up lonely and with bad parents as well. His oast could even rival Bucks. So to see these two broken souls come together....😍😍😍
I just started watching 911 a few months ago. I had a couple of my Facebook friends comment on this storyline, but I didn't watch the show so I wasn't familiar with the characters. Then the promos for season 7 and wrecked cruise ship came out and I thought ok, I'm going to start it on HULU. Fell in love with the show INSTANTLY!!!! And Buck most of all! I love all of the characters, but Buck just stuck out to me in the first season. I guess I am only one of a few that liked him with Abby. She helped him to start growing up. Now I was PISSED with the way she left and never actually broke up with him. Yes, everyone knew it was over, but I feel like she should have at least sent him a message or something. Then she just breezes back into town in a train wreck and want them to save her fiancée. I know they talked at the end of the episode, but I still wasn't satisfied LOL!!
The few people I saw talking about the Buck/Tommy episode said they did not like the development. And I was a bit confused, but I tried to stay neutral until I saw the actual episode. And after his brush with death, or rather when he died. (Which that episode of Buck in hospital and learning that HE is enough... dear Gawd when he took that breath I boo'hood like a baby!!!) but I digress... after that episode, it totally fits that he would discover this about himself. I could go on and on... But I love the storyline. and Thank you for breaking it down. I am always looking for people to have these deep discussions with about tv shows I watch!! 🙂
Wonderful breakdown. ❤
I love this so much ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this!
tbh I watched 911 because I heard there was a gay storyline and saw clips about Buck but I didn't know it was all the way in season 7 but there was Hen and the storytelling of this show really pulled me in so I didn't throw the tv show away but I was never expecting Tommy and buck would get together although i really love it, I always thought it would be buck and Eddie from the very beginning and I still remember s2e08 the influencer live stream they teased buddie really thought it would happen but i don't think its coming anymore after Tommy, hope they tell a beautiful love story between buck and tommy at least
I love to come back to this video now and then when I need a break from rewatching the clips of Buck and Tommy story 🥰
Enjoyed this!!!
Lovely video, I agree on a lot of your points. I think a fair amount of people are too hard on Tommy, especially a small subset of Buddie shippers. I’m fine with either being endgame, but I really want them to have Tevan last a while and develop their relationship. I’d love to see the flying lessons or muay thai and see how some of Tommy’s maturity and confidence can be used to rub off on Buck and help him adapt some of those traits. I really hope they handle this properly.
I hope Tim Minear watch this and see that if they can't make Buddie canon, they leave Tommy up to the end of the show because Buck is finally happy.
I was thinking the same thing. How to get this video link to the powers that be? 😂😅
someone said he shared the link to this vid on Facebook, can't verify but that's what I've heard
I see Buck as a younger version of Tommy, they are extremely similar in a lot of ways. So, seeing them together just makes sense. Oliver and Lou both being gorgeous does not hurt either ❤
ME TOO
This is an amazing deep dive ❤❤
Love your video💕🙌🏽
Love Buck and Tommy together, a lot of people are rooting for Buddie, but for me I'm invested in Buck and Tommy for endgame❤❤
I really hope they are endgame!! They are so good together
Love this!!!
Love this show sm 🫶🫶🥹
wow woah, some of the things i didn't even consider before, what a great video
I love these two so much 😢
After seeing Buddie shippers be so nasty towards us Tevan/Bucktommy shippers this is nice to see
I thought the same. ❤
Tommy is the right person for Buck at this time.
Unlike Tommy, Eddie has a lot of issues to deal with before he can give himself to anyone in a relationship.The most important thing is Bucks' happiness, right?
EVAN SITS IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE THAT TOMMY USED TO SIT- im gonna go insane.
So many little hints thru all the past seasons. All those bread crumbs. It feels like they planned bucktommy for years now 🤩
Love them so much 😊
Buck goes,where others dare to tread....that's why we l love him. He's such a good, well meaning soul!
Love this video. Love Buck and Tommy together, their on screen chemistry is absolutely fantastic!
Omg just stumbled over this video! I'm glad i watched it. I love your deep dive into bucktommy. I love them
Awesome video! New subscriber. 😊 I love the affection between Buck and Tommy so much! They make each other happy and Buck's eyes seem to sparkle around him. I enjoyed you pointing out the little things here and there with Tommy's name and Buck's life through the seasons. ❤
