Evan Buckley | Ready (9-1-1)

"To be honest, I don't know what I'm ready for... but I am ready for something"

In all the recent interviews with Oliver and Tim, there is a lot of talk about Buck being on a "hamster wheel." I think that wheel is really to focus to this video - the way in which his relationships up until this season all seem to mimic each other in different ways.

While each woman he has been with so far have been very different people, one fact remains generally the same: Buck is the one who stays, his partners are the ones who leave - whether physically or emotionally.

For this video, I decided to do a little snapshot look at the brief history of Buck's relationships and how it's led him to where he is now. The tricky part of having a show with over 100 episodes is that there is just too much relevant material for any topic you decide to explore. Instead of doing any overviews or "stories" of his relationships, I decided to focus specifically on the recurring patterns. Basically - don't take the amount of time I devote to any one relationship as a signal to any particular slant I may have to one relationship or another.

I don't have any stake in his love life - I'm just really interested in seeing how Buck's relationship WITH relationships and emotional intimacy might change as he continues to mature from where who he started as Season 1 to the man he is now in Season 7.

I think the quote I started with at the top is really what this is about - that next step in Buck's journey where he is not only ready to break the disastrous patterns in his relationships, but also ready to truly find out out what that might look like. What that "something" could be.

I hope you enjoy!
