Like they used this really interesting thing pull us in and then yanked the rug out at the last minute. That does not hold on to viewers, show. That's a good way to lose them.
From one of Stark's interviews, it sounds like they wrote 5 to make 6 hurt more. A lot of Ep. 6 was filmed before Ep. 5 so they did Ep. 5 knowing what was going to happen and used it to reestablish the relationship. Definitely played.
Considering they kept him into Season 8, I guess I expected Tommy to last at least half a season if not longer.
Honestly, I could take or leave OS. LOL! It was really Tommy who drew me into that relationship. Tommy was such a great character. I have 2 (very dim) hopes here. The first, they plan on making Tommy a main character in the new spin-off that's in the works. Two, Tim was testing the waters to see how fans would responnd if Buck and Tommy split up. Spoiler alert, it's not good. A lot of unhappy comments on the show's official Insta and FB pages. Maybe he will bring Tommy back later on and reunite them.
Yeah. I think they're so used to Buck and Eddie fans responding negatively to their love interests that they probably only expected happy responses and not people mad at the gut punch.
Right now, LFJ is at swat. It sounds like they wanted to use him more this season but he chose 911 (probably because it let him do more as an actor). But then 911 only gave him three episodes before giving him the boot. Even if 911 does reconsider, he probably won't be available even if he's open to it.
And that makes me sad because I'm probably going to hate whoever Buck ends up with.
