do y'all ever think about the fact that bobby is literally chris' grandpa? like yeah, bobby is a father figure to buck. but buck is also chris' second dad.
that's a dynamic i am reminded of whenever i see eddie and bobby interact outside of the fire station and it's a dynamic that should be explored more overall.
I'm actually never gonna shut up about 4x14 because it was such a good episode and the Buddie content? sublime
but the fuckin parallels of Buck risking everything to save Eddie right after getting shot and Athena risking everything to save Bobby right after getting shot.... compliments to the fucking CHEF.
Athena to Bobby: "I'm here. I got you."
Buck to Eddie: "Come on, Eddie! Stay down, I'm gonna come! I got you!"
Not to even mention Bobby's disbelief that Athena did what she did for him and the Eddie's disbelief that Buck did what he did for him/Christopher.
Or Buck defying protocols to do something dangerous and Athena defying protocols to do something dangerous.
Athena pleading with Buck to help her save Bobby, because if anyone at the scene was going to understand the unbridled need to do what she had to do, it was going to be Buck.
Athena and Buck were both ready and willing to sacrifice themselves for the men they love and that's true poetic cinema.
