the paper-thin veneer of subtext that buck and eddie's romantic arc has been operating under since 7.04 is about to be gone entirely. most journalists covering the show are getting tired of pretending that we're not watching a love story rn. we're just waiting for the pretense to be dropped for good

Fave part of the bt breakup might be Tommy's genre awareness. Saying "I know how this ends" is like if the Wrong Love Interest in a romcom suddenly became sentient and realized his role (aka to be a stepping stone to the endgame couple - in this case buddie) 😭

Literally why aren't #buddie talking to e/o this season? all they get are comedic scenes with other people (usually t*mmy) around. They've had zero purely one on one convos in s8 so far. Their only scene alone is one where they famously don't talk at all. Other seasons weren't like this, what gives😭

Josh's wildest question in 8.06 is "are you romantically inclined toward this person?" bc b&t have been dating for 6 months. Why is that q needed? Even buck found it odd.

It only makes sense if it's gonna be posed later about Eddie bc romantic inclination hasn't been established w them yet
