The show ruining all of Buck's hard earned relationships so he can have platonic scenes with Eddie every episode that do nothing but give fodder for the "journalists" instead of expanding Eddie's circle of relationships so their friendship can finally have some semblance of balance is by far the biggest crime of the last two seasons. A lazy throwaway line that Hen knew Buck was possibly queer all along doesn't make up for a lack of screen time for them.
I’m dead serious when I say that Timmy sacrificed the firefam on the altar of platonic Bvddie. And it was not worth it. His stupid ass “scene in every episode” nonsense from last year has done irreparable damage and now they seem to have forgotten how to write that these people are all friends in an interlocking web of relationships.
And it’s the dumbest fucking thing because you can’t tell me that Hen and Buck’s friendship is unpopular, nor is Bobby and Buck’s familial relationship! You can’t tell me that no one would want to see Chim and Bobby friendship like back in the day. You can’t tell me that Bobby actively grooming Hen for leadership wouldn’t eat!
And god! Eddie! Please make more friends! So much of his bullshit would have been great to work through with Athena or Bobby or Chim!
But no.
