He's awesome!

He was Pretty Cool! He should come back and become a Christian!

He's Trouble, with a capital T. I hope Mr. Skint will come back, turn good, take Buck and leave.

I don't like him at all.

I don't like Buck Oliver. He wasn't really a good character.

It would be nice if Eugene and Katrina adopted him.

I do think Buck could be used again in some way. But I don't want K&E to adopt him. He should disappear into the background and then later come back in some amazing way.

Yeah. Like Katrina is kidnapped or something and Buck comes to her rescue(I guess that already happened in Album 53, but its just an example)

Buck Oliver was a good character.

Yes. I would be real nice to hear from him again.

Why not? He rocks. I really want him to come back.

He is coming back, but I wouldn't say that he's my favorite.

He will..........just wait..............................................

I thought Buck was a good character for TGRC, but we don't need him coming back. Just because he worked well for album 53 doesn't mean he would do well in album 56. It would be like bringing back Jellyfish or Rodney Rathbone and having them turn good. It doesn't fit with their character to all of a sudden become a better person.

I also came to that conclusion..

Yes. It would be comparable to having Dr. Blackgaard, the Professor, Jellyfish, Charles Bennett, the security guard, the Chairman, Rodney Rathbone and Rusty, Sharon, Mr. grote, the Whisperer, Archie, Mr. Skint, Agent Tanner, dr. Trask, and Vance all come back, turn good, and start a restaurant together. Life just doesn't work that way, and it makes the characters seem unrealistic.

Buch hasn't gone anywhere, as far as we know. He's just been put in jail. We don't even know how long, or where the jail is. We'd assume it's one in Odyssey. If the AIO team decides to show him in an episode again, he'll be right there. But, yes, it would be silly to a total transformation into a male Lucy, unless it was done VERY slowly. We should realize, of course, people become good overnight in real life. However, such things are unsatisfying to consumers in fiction. And, in real life, such conversions rarely last, as they must be enforced daily with the decision to avoid great sins.

Eh, I'm not exactly drawn to Buck. He was pretty good in GRC, I guess, but I didn't find him especially endearing. He was just alright, but I would definitely not mind hearing from him and Mr. Skint again in the future!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought Eugene and Katrina should adopt him! I thought he was cute, and really thought they were bringing a new awesome character into the series... I thought he would be one of those characters that we would learn a lot with (like Grady). But alas, we have not heard from him since
