Eddie + Buck's cooking
5x11 / 8x08
For fans who clocked yet another Buck and Eddie couch scene, Minear says he is aware of The Couch Theory, but he also doesn’t fully understand it.
Sure, Jan.
What was that? What? You flipped the tablet. Did I?
[Buck was quick to volunteer to help him find a place, but he’s got to be devastated. Take us into his head.]
Tim Minear: Oh, I think there are fire alarms going off in his head right now. You can see it in Oliver’s performance, too. As soon as Eddie turns his back, Buck looks like he’s been hit in the head with a baseball bat, and that will figure in mightily when we come back.

I don't get it. Why would he type type type and not send anything? Maybe he just changed his mind. You think I should call him, right? Definitely not.

TheWrap: I’m sad that Buck is single again. Oliver Stark: Thank you for being sad. Buck’s tumultuous love life is still as tumultuous as ever. He’s still looking for the one and his happiness. But it takes a few tries before you get the right one.
Are you wearing the-
The Chanel boots green breakup shirt? Yeah, I am.

[That last scene where Buck interrupts Eddie’s Risky Business moment is certainly open to interpretation. Is this a friendly hangout, just two bros getting together to talk out their problems?]
Actually, I think it’s beyond that. It’s them not talking. That was the real thing to me when I read it. Buck looks Eddie up and down — he’s in his underwear and a shirt with the collar popped, the mustache is gone, there’s obviously something happening with him — but they don’t need to talk in that moment. It’s like, you’re going through something and I’m going through something, so let’s just have a drink and be in each other’s space in a supportive way. I’m guessing they did exchange some words at some point, but I imagine they didn’t talk for a while. Just being there for each other was enough. - Oliver Stark
Probably allergies, he said. Probably just in my head, he said. Probably clear up by shift, he said. You owe me five bucks, Eddie!
