No because I think this is the exact reason I fell in love with 9-1-1 so much. Season one, Bathena got together, and I was so dissapointed, because if you've watched more than two tv shows in your life, you know what happenes to couples who get together in the first season. They get used for drama, they are thrust into repeating storylines, they either aren't endgame, or they break up and make up all the time, over and over, and are horrible to each other bur still stay together. (Cough cough Ross and Rachel from Friends.) It kills the characters instantly, and it kills their storylines. I was so mad.
But then I kept watching, bc it's not like this was a new feeling - this happens all the time. Disappointing, but whatever. So I kept waiting for the inevitable fallout and breakup and unnecessary drama between Bathena, and it just... didn't happen. They just... moved foreward in their relationship, and the showrunners made them interesting as fuck - without breaking them up unnecessarily!! Fucking bonkers to me, especially how Henren started out in season one. But Bathena had fights, and drama, and happy moments, and they defied what I thought a season-one-couple was.
And then it just kept on going. Bathena, Madney, Henren - they all found their special person and they didn't have to give that up to remain interesting or original. I've never seen anything like it before. It was magical. Still is.
I think that's why I'm not terrified that they are going to fuck up Buddie. If any other show decided to get the two popular and constantly shipped male leads together, I KNOW they couldn't do them justice, especially in the long run. But 911 can. Because they've already done it. Multiple times. And that just makes me so freaking happy.
domestic buddie being imminent is also fun bc this show does a good job at keeping a relationship dynamic interesting after getting characters together. henren is established from day one and while karen isn’t around as much as the mains their presence/drama is still there. bathena got more interesting once they started blending their family. madney went thru sooo much up and down and now they’re happily married and maddie’s still getting serial killer kidnapped and saving chim’s life w hammers. domestic buddie are gonna keep having insane things happen bc that’s the show but now they will get to react to it as romantic partners and (eventual) husbands. :)
