I don't think 9-1-1 is in the business of killing off mains but I get the feeling something catastrophic is coming Buck's way and it's not going to be the car incident

#Time is a central theme that unites and binds Buck and Eddie but it is a theme that has been attributed to Eddie for the most part via #dialogue/context/circumstance/etc. #But last night Lev specifically mentions the concept of time in relation to happiness; not to Eddie this time but to Buck #in a way that simply cannot be mistrued or extrapolated or taken to mean or be associated with anyone else #Kind of makes me wonder about Buck's mental/emotional trajectory as well. Last season he clung to Taylor because he was afraid #of being left again. Understandable since he lost three key people in his life within a matter of months. #But they came back. And then Taylor was gone. And Buck's not clinging anymore but he's not happy either #so why the connection between Buck and Time? It's been so effectively established but why establish it at all? #Does he feel like Taylor was his last chance at the life he wanted? Wife. Kids. Happiness #(or at least some approximation of it) #That would put Lev's words into an even greater perspective: how he had this Thing that Buck actively desires and craves and it still #wasn't enough. #This thing that leaves Buck wondering 'if he had it all and it wasn't enough what will be enough?' #The question is: does he have the time to figure it out? #Because Buck might feel like *his* time js running out in the same way all human beings feel like there is never enough time #to heal the way they want to heal / achieve what they want to achieve / be who they want to be... #But Buck is a character trapped within a narrative he has no choice but to dance to #and that narrative is feeling so. Damning these days. #He feels like he doesn't have time but I'm willing to bet he has even less time than he thinks he has.
