Most Memorable Scene: "He is So Cute" (9-1-1)

Watching this scene of Maddie Buckley, Howard "Chimney" Han, Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley from the 9-1-1 episode Dosed (season 2 episode 6) never gets old.

As Maddie was moving into a new apartment, she got help from her little brother Buck and his two friends and co-workers: Eddie and Chimney. So, while Buck and Eddie were moving in her furniture, Chimney was helping her set up her new security system. Here's the funny thing, after Eddie and Chimney went to the kitchen for pizza and beers, Maddie with a big smile on her face told Buck "He is so cute".

However, for some reason, Buck thought she was talking about Eddie. Because his response was "Yeah, he gets that a lot. Uh, you should meet his kid, though." And she replies with "Wait, Chimney has a kid?". Like dude, she was not talking about Eddie, just because you think he's cute doesn't mean she does. Especially since Eddie had gone to the kitchen first. And during that time, Maddie she was still talking to Chimney before he joined Eddie in the kitchen.

My question is, did Buck not see the smile on her face while she was talking to Chimney? Or was he too busy looking at Eddie to notice? I just love how Maddie's admission left Buck stunned because he couldn't believe his sister was talking about Chimney and not Eddie. I feel like Maddie has know for a long time that Buck has feelings Eddie and she's just waiting for him to realize it.

Buck's one-sided rivalry nearly cost him a friendship with Eddie (9-1-1)

I always found it so interesting that in the 9-1-1 episode Under Pressure (season 2 episode 1) Buck was the only team member who made Eddie's first day on the job a negative work experience. Not only was Buck was jealous, he decided to be a jerk toward Eddie. During the inflated man emergency, Buck was mad that Eddie "took over" despite their Captain Bobby Nash telling Eddie to take over. What's interesting is that after seeing that Eddie was very competent and knowledgeable, Buck reluctantly said "Yeah. Good Job" to him afterwards.

And despite the reluctant "Good Job", Buck was still holding on to this one-sided rivalry and being a jerk towards Eddie. It wasn't until they worked together to remove a bomb from an older man's leg that they finally became friends. As quickly as they became friends, it's clear to see that if Buck wasn't being a jealous jerk him and Eddie would have immediately become friends as soon as they met. However, it was Buck's actions that delayed their friendship but thankfully it didn't take too long for that to happen. And now that friendship has grown into something really special. Something that is so much more than friendship that I hope will lead to romance.

This is so cute!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I hope everyone has a fun and magical St. Patrick's Day! And a special good luck to Christopher and Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley, because they definitely need it.

Did Eddie use the Legally Blonde "Bend and Snap" on Buck in the 9-1-1 episode Voices?

As soon as I saw this scene from the 9-1-1 episode Voices (season 8 episode 10) of Eddie awkwardly bending down to close the U-Haul trailer, it immediately made me think of the renowned Bend and Snap scene from the Legally Blonde movie. In the movie, Elle Woods was teaching Paulette Bonafonté that flirty move so that Paulette could use it later to attract her crush, Kyle the delivery driver.

So, is it just a random coincidence or is Eddie's using a slightly modified version of the Bend and Snap to subconsciously attract Buck. But since Eddie's still not aware or clueless of his romantic feelings for Buck, he did the move slightly incorrect as in bending in the opposite direction. Anyway, I'm sure it still left a lasting impression on Buck before Eddie left to move back to El Paso, Texas. According to this quote from Elle, "In my experience, it has a 98% success rate of getting a man's attention, and when used appropriately, it has an 83% rate of return on a dinner invitation." Which means the move is rather effective and not to be forgotten is the quote from the guy working at the salon The Bend and Snap, works every time!

I guess we'll see if Eddie's Bend and Snap worked on Buck especially if Buck continues to think of Eddie. And hopefully this will lead to them eventually getting together once Eddie and his son Christopher return to Los Angeles.

Most Memorable Scene: Eddie and Buck seeing each other at the hospital (9-1-1 season 4)

I know that in the 9-1-1 episode Survivors (season 4 episode 14), Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz's then girlfriend Dr. Ana Flores was in his hospital room and was probably one of the first people he woke up to from his coma. However, that wasn't a scene that was shown, instead the writers wanted the viewers to see Evan "Buck" Buckley running through the hospital hallway to get to Eddie's room in order to see them greet each other. And to make it even more interesting was that Ana moved aside to make sure that Eddie and Buck were able to see each other.

Why was it more important to see Buck and Eddie seeing each other instead of Eddie and Ana seeing each other? Earlier in the episode, viewers saw Ana by Eddie's bedside while he was in a coma but it was Buck's reaction to Eddie being awake that mattered. But even Ana being at his bedside was overshadowed by Buck telling Eddie's son Christopher about Eddie being shot (or hurt as he told Chris). And not to mention Buck taking care of Chris while Eddie was in the hospital. Anyway, the writers made a point of showing who was important.

Something else I wanted to point out was that Buck running to Eddie reminded me of a scene in Hero Complex (season 5 episode 17). It was when Dr. Karen Wilson ran over to her wife Henrietta "Hen" Wilson who was in the hospital. Hen had been in the hospital following her and Howard "Chimney" Han being abducted by Jonah Greenway. I mention all this because, Eddie and Buck always seem to parallel the three main couples: Athena Grant and Robert "Bobby" Nash, Hen and Karen and Maddie Buckley and Chimney. For another example, this Buck and Eddie scene was also similar to a scene in All Fall Down (season 7 episode 10). When Athena returned to Bobby's hospital room after he woke up from his coma and Hen, Buck, Eddie and Chimney moved aside so that Athena and Bobby could see each other.

I just continue to be amazed at how so many Buck and Eddie scenes are parallel to the other couples. And if they don't end up being canon, then it truly is a waste of all of that amazing chemistry.

Buck saying "It's Me", is that foreshadowing?

In the 9-1-1 episode Sob Stories (season 8 episode 9), why does Buck saying "It's me" to Eddie feel like forshadowing. And not to mention Eddie's shock and suprise reaction afterwards. I know this conversation was about Buck telling Eddie he's renting his house but the "It's me" just felt like such a loud statement. The writers could have used a different choice of words but instead went with "It's me".

I really hope it's foreshadowing because these two are perfect for each other. None of the random love interests they have throughout the series had ever felt like they were right for them. Which is why I will continue to hope that Buck and Eddie will eventually end up together. I also hope it won't take too long for Eddie and his son Christopher to return to Los Angeles.

Video: Ryan Guzman jumping over stuff (9-1-1 season 8 behind the scenes)

I love when there are goofy or silly behind the scenes stuff like this vidoe of Ryan Guzman jumping over random things. There wasn't much danger from jumping over the side walk entrance, however the hedge, he could have ended up tumbling over and face planting on the side walk. He's lucky he was able to soar over that hedge. I love how Peter Krause was filming it while Oliver Stark was back there laughing. Since this is Kenneth Choi's video, I would have loved to have seen his reaction after Ryan's final jump.

New Oliver Stark Interview (Today)

Happy Sunday!

In case anyone missed it, there was a new Oliver Stark interview released over the weekend, Oliver Stark revisits that ‘9-1-1’ basketball scene ahead of his NBA All-Star Celebrity Game appearance by Maddie Ellis. It's an interesting article, because at one point he talked about a show possibly circling back to the motive or reason for why his 9-1-1 character Evan "Buck" Buckley was so jealous in the episode Buck, Bothered and Bewildered (season 7 episode 4).

Happy Valentine's Day, Buck and Eddie! (9-1-1)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone and especially to my favorite couple (albeit non-canon), Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz and Evan "Buck" Buckley. I hope one day they get a chance to go canon because they are so perfect for each other. I really want to see Buck and Eddie tell each other how they feel. I also want to see them go on their first date and just overall see their relationship grow and change as they go from best friends to lovers. I just feel like their chemistry and connection is way too amazing to waste. Which is why I really hope they will go canon.

With that said, I wanted to post this amazing Valentine's Day gif set by bilosan. I absolutely love it, it's just so cute.

Quote: Buck and Eddie (9-1-1 season 2)

Buck: Hey, so is your son really the reason you don't date?

Eddie: That, and... they weren't my type.

Buck: Not mine either. Not anymore. But I'm talking in general.

Eddie: It's complicated when you have a kid.

Buck: Come on, that's a weak excuse.

Eddie: You live in your invisible girlfriend's house, and you're telling me about weak excuses.

~ Evan "Buck" Buckley and Edmundo "Eddie" Diaz, 9-1-1 season 2 episode 4: Stuck

It's so interesting how they can't walk without bumping into each other. It's as if they're magnetized and can't help being drawn back together. Another thing I find interesting is the conversation, because why when Eddie said "They weren't my type", he was looking at Buck (see second gif). And Buck did the same thing when he said "Not mine either. Not Anymore" (see third gif). Prior to this scene, some rather drunk yet attractive women were flirting with Buck and Eddie and neither of them were interested in the women's attention.

At least Buck had the excuse that he had a girlfriend (who albeit was off on a soul searching travel throughout Europe) while Eddie used his son as a way to avoid the idea of dating. And not to mention that at this point in the story, the writers had not introduced Eddie's estranged wife Shannon. So as far as viewers were concerned, Eddie was a single parent using his son as an excuse not to date.

Okay, back to Eddie and Buck separately looking at one another when they said what they said. Both could have still said it but without looking at one another. Because those looks definitely added subtext to both of them and this conversation.
