    S10.E22: …Don’t You Cry

    in Chicago Med

    · Edited by Proteus

    I think it does. The end of episode 18 & beginning of 19 hinted that they slept together. She flat out said at the beginning of 19 that she didn't sleep with Mitch.

    Ugh. I hate Ripley/Hannah. I was hoping they were done after last week's episode.

    This episode didn't work for me. I felt like they were trying to make it very dramatic & I felt nothing.

    The good: 

    -- The action was so good! I was absolutely enamored with all of these random cops that were around to breach all of Beck's properties.

    -- Hailey with that elbow to that dude's face

    -- That opening with Ruzek set the tone..oof I felt for the man. He really had me. Especially those scenes with Makayla.

    -- Paddy acted his ass off yet again and I love that man. They really underused him this season.

    -- This was really Atwater's episode. The way he took charge at the scene. His reaction when he found out about the elementary school, that look he had with that Black officer, his annoyance over the deal, and that killshot!! He didn't hesitate!

    -- Trudy with Kim..I just loved that scene. I love their relationship. 

    -- Kim, steady, all the signs of her therapy working, how she was able to healthily compartmentalize, how she helped Adam. How she didn't panic. 

    -- Kim looked so cute in that green hoodie. 

     

    What I struggled with:

    -- I know Torres can only be in a certain amount of episodes but after that underwhelming last episode, he shouldn't have been gone for the finale!

    -- It actually really bothered me the lengths they kept going to make Sam and Callum victims. Sam did not have this passive role in what her father was doing. Her racist thoughts didn't just become un hardwired when Callum was born. Throwing out things wasn't enough. And when given chances she still protected her father or didn't do the right thing. I was annoyed that they oversold the concept of white duoremacostss being victims of their white supremacy. 

    -- I just can't NOT think about how Sam and Callumg got more chances and shown more grace than hundreds kf people of color in the criminal justice system, the foster system, all of it. 

    -- Sam should NOT have been offered full immunity. And didn't even ask for it... it ess the offer Ruzek wanted for her as their best shot because he sympathized with her so much. 

    -- Ruzek still wanted to protect Callum and Sam wanted to save him, but the kid was already down the dark path. It felt dangerous and even problematic to keep pushing this point that this kid could be saved because "no one is born hating" with little regard or consideration for his current actions and the dangers he posed now. In this same system a young kid like Atwater or Torres will get written off as a product of their environment and STILL spend time trying to disprove that to other people as whole adults.

    -- The idea that Callum still stood a chance, but now that Kevin killed his grandpa, the racism got activated. It puts too much emphasis on the act, KEVIN'S act. Like, what?

    -- that cliffhanger and them cutting out that Burzek bedside scene for Voight and Chapman having a drink. It was just so weird. I would think with the writer striker looming at this point of filming, they would have opted for the final scene with burgess and Ruzek so it didn't feel so open ended.

    Why can Torres only be in limited episodes?

    Episode 7 of the final season & Wallace is doing filler episodes. Only 6 episodes left and the final season still has no direction or set up for the big bad or how the shows supposed to end. Wallace is really the worst thing that ever happened to this show.

    I don't understand why Jenna Dewan is even on this show & a regular. She usually gets 2 scenes, one at the beginning & one at the end. Just to show she & Nolan are still together.

    Nathan Fillion doesn't even feel like the lead anymore.

    I hope since they wrapped up Celinas story that she exits after this season.

    Sara Lance: The Canary Rises In White

    I think you fail to see that the  - 'we all thought there will be season 8' - is just an act they all adopted, because they can't admit they knew the chance for s8 was small, but still did the cliff hanger. Besides no one loses if they have free posters in LA and New York, or trending Legends. I am also sure the actor for Booster Gold was not really signed a deal. And closing studios do no happen from suddenly. 

    Phil Klemmer also said that he wasn't sure Caity would love the pregnancy plot line, so we can also see that she agreed to it, because they knew she would never see the light of day. Caity also had said on ' inside of you' podcast, that she was tired of playing Sara Lance, and that it was difficult on Legends as she had a lot of screen time but mostly as supporting character to other character's stories.

    Also realistically pregnancy story line would have benched her even more, or put her on the background even more. EBR left the show after Felicity became a mother. And I am sure all the avalance fans have tones of ideas of domestic plot lines of how avalance take care of the baby, but this is not what the show is about, and this still would have meant that they will be there for two minites screen time just to satisfy the portion of fandom who cares solely for two women changing diapers. Which again, I am sure Caity Lotz would not sign up for.

    And yes I do understand why people love Avalance - they are two gorgeous women who kiss and hold hands. For some people this is enough. And the fact they are not bothered by the plot lines I mentioned speaks a lot, speaks they do not really care for representation, or empowerment. They care for the shippers feelings they have when they watch them. They also do not care for the characters. And intimacy is important, and I also love it. But I do watch for more. I want more from female characters in a superhero show. If this was family drama, then yes, let them change diapers. But this is a superhero show and I am here for that content.

    So I want Sara to have the content they gave Constantine for example - I want her to be more than just love interest. How was it possible for Constantine to be able to have the love plot line, the drug plot line, the hell plot line, the personal villains, the characters from his show, saving Astra, seeing his parents and ancestors, keeping his darkness and autonomy. But Sara was not possible to talk about her father, her past, explore whether she was in hell when she was dead, save the girl whose father she killed, have personal villain, kill darhk in the end, show emotions over her blindness and so on.

    And now to answer your Arrow comment - come on - you barely care whether they killed and cloned Sara, because you see the writers didn't addressed it, and the characters didn't care, but you 'care' how Arrow used Sara for Laurel's Black Canary arc? This is just funny. I mean all Avalance fans that hate on Sara's plot on Arrow are such hypocrites. Tell me how exactly Sara was not a tool for Ava all these last seasons? Didn't she became from someone who sacrifices her sister for the timeline to someone with a motto - I screw the timeline for the better - just to give Ava the personality of a time cop? Didn't she became blind just so Ava can become co -captain? Didn't she not talked about her dead father, just so she can be happy with Ava. All this characterization and plot lines were given to her so they can build up Ava. SO how is that different to what Arrow did. Sara even was killed and cloned in the end so she can be a clone like Ava. The difference with Arrow is that the show at least gave her one season where she had actual development and plot lines. On Arrow she had more development and more characterization than 7 seasons of Legends. Remove Arrow from her story and you do not have Sara Lance, but a stereotype of a bad ass blond assassin who kicks ass and kisses girls. What made Sara unique is her story from Arrow, and a little bit from Legends the first two seasons. So I suppose Legends could have easily just cast another blond actress for their show and made her bad ass assassin and it would have been the same.

    I'm not failing to see anything. No one knew or had any idea that Legends would be canceled when season 7 was filming. All the facts corroborate that. No info doesn't. 

    DC told Legends to replace Nate with Nick Zano leaving with another DC character. Even DC wanted & believed the show would continue.

    The Sara/Ava pg story was written. Caity didn't have to agree to anything. She wasnt lied to or promised the show was ending so shed not have to do it. What? LOL.It was happening & the show had every intention on following it through. Caity was fine with the story. No one  had to convince her to do anything. She joked she didn't want to be fat. No big deal. 

    And Im just as sure Caity would have played whatever Avalance story was written.  Domestic Avlance or not.She was not going to leave the show & was going to be in season 8. Caity would never have thrown her foot down & refused to do an Avalance scene or plot. There is zero evidence that she'd ever do that. 

    Not everyone shares the anger & hatred for Legends. Not all Sara fans agree that Legends ruined her, did her dirty, etc. If you loved Sara from season 2 of Arrow I can understand. But there's way more love for Sara from Legends. Legends did way better with Sara than Arrow ever did. Sara would have never become the lead character on Arrow or probably even a series regular that's seen week to week.

    Not everyone thinks Sara's one season on Arrow was gold. Many love the Sara of Legends. Legends did a lot of great things with Sara through the years.

    I'm not going to go through every plot line Sara has had on Legends & defend them. I and many others had no problem with them. I didn't hate or feel like Sara was being disrespected or ruined. I don't agree with the feelings of the Arrow/Sara fans on Sara. Sara grew beyond Arrow. People change. Sara didn't have to always be the person she was on another show. Sara spent three seasons of Legends dealing with self loathing. Legends decided to move her beyond that. Characters are allowed to grow.

    Legends only started getting accolades & put on best show lists from season 3 on. The show received way more love than hate for the later years. And so did Sara & Avalance.
