  1. Yup - I bought a medical ID bracelet from Lauren's Hope before traveling at the start of the month! I also carried a sheet on me with my medications, medical conditions, and doctor contact info. Yeah, tumor guy confused me too. I wish that whoever wrote Charlie this week had been writing her since the start - this is great material (comparatively) for Kayla Cromer! This is what I want to see her do on this show! I hope that for the final 6 episodes (assuming she is on it through the end - I did see she was credited as a guest star), we get this version of Charlie! I hope Kayla Cromer gets something good after this that actually respect autism (Or maybe she'll go for a non-autistic role - I was reading Lillian Carrier talking about how some autistic actors are trying to get NT roles to prove that autistic actors don't need to be pigeonholed into only playing autistic characters) I think the writing staff, collectively, just has problems with their mothers. Have any of the characters had genuinely good mothers? I think even Lea's wasn't that good? Obviously being around Shaun's autism cured his hemophobia? I also expected them to leave Steve with Glassman - but it ended up they wanted it to tee up Jordan and Kalu for being together at the end of the series.
  2. So, uh, two three things: 1. They started to write Charlie better this episode - is it that when they have her with Shaun, they want to have an autism fight or whatever? Or is it because she wasn't in the episode much? I did like when she turned around and said "You two like each other!" Her face afterwards was great 2. HOW BIG ARE THE SUPPLY CLOSETS AT THIS HOSPITAL? That was a gigantic supply closet - they probably could've fit at least 1 or 2 patient rooms in there! 3. Hahaha Glassman and Lim's mom should be fun. I was hoping that Glassman would say that Shaun is almost like his son when talking to her, though. I just hope this show doesn't end on a flashforward like New Amsterdam.
  3. Yup - that's exactly what I did when I was going for my education degree. During pre-professional field and student teaching, I found times and places when I could stim and what reasonable accommodations i could come up with (and backups for those accommodations)
  4. Agree with you 100% on that first paragraph - the second Shaun said "She's my med student! I handle my med students!" Lim and Glassman should've been like, "No, you are breaking the law by treating her this way." I think that in one of the earlier seasons, they said they had an autistic writer on staff - I looked it up at the time and I believe the writer was only credited with one or two episodes. One of those episodes was the one where he and Carly are going to have sex, but Shaun has issues with it (iirc he gets distracted when he sees she has a tattoo on her chest). From what I remember, that was one of the better episodes autism-wise... but that isn't a big accomplishment for this show. I think their autism consultant is someone from Autism Speaks, so... yeaaaaaaaaah - that shows how much they care.
  5. One thing Charlie has over Shaun - she didn't have a meltdown when Shaun decided to become Dr. Han. She ran away crying like a neurotypical might have and then she shut down in the elevator (like someone on the spectrum might). You think the writers would at least ask Kayla Cromer for input. Or have brought in an autism consultant like Lillian Carrier (Drea on Everything's Gonna Be Okay) seasons ago to be like, "no, that is not realistic. If you want to take some artistic license, play x up." Since they obviously want the character to overstep and cross some lines, but they should be different ones - like how Charlie started asking the patient questions, then Shaun told her that med students don't gather histories. Not crossing lines in the vein of, "are you a top or a bottom?" Everything's Gonna Be Okay. I loved that show - the first season finale had the most realistic depiction of sensory overload ever. Most realistic portrayal of autism I have seen on TV (and it was serendipitous that Josh Thomas was diagnosed with autism!)
  6. God, Shaun is so annoying with him thinking he got no accommodations. He literally had the president of the hospital watching his back. Charlie is pretty much asking the same questions Shaun asked a few years into him being at the hospital. It's better that she's asking it early (if she has to ask them at all), so it'll be corrected earlier. reflexes too slow to drive high five!
  7. This episode was baaaaaaaaaaaad. One of the worst of the series, by far. The shifting camera angles and the nonsense plots. Also, why can shows never make things on screen easy to read? I had no idea what the piece of paper said until it was said out loud that Lopez was 17th on the list.
  8. I did lie how we saw both of their anxieties. One of my favorite songs had to be Chapter Two - I just liked the whole sequence (and the song was stuck in my head for a few weeks afterwards!). I also liked Can I Ever Know You? (Finale) Maye the next musical TV show that comes out will be popular and get multiple seasons?
  9. Glad you enjoyed it! Now, what were your favorite songs? (I would've noticed your post sooner, but I didn't notice it on the 26th, 27th, or 28th - then I was out of town for a presentation 29th-3rd!)
  10. at least Charlie is in medical school and this is her first time in the field - I hope that her hemophobic friend can help her correct some of her behaviors, like how she gave him the glove trick. I'm sort of disappointed that the final season will only be 10 episodes - I would've liked to have seen what the writers would've done with a full final season for Charlie. Although it probably would have been horrible. Obviously that's why he needed to gamble one more time
  11. I'd love to see Kayla Cromer starring in another show... but only if it had better writers. And autism consultants that are listened to. Honestly, for me, 99% of it was Kayla Cromer. I missed her being on my TV - if you haven't seen her before, check out Everything's Gonna Be Okay, streaming on Hulu - she was the first autistic actor to play an autistic lead on a TV show!
  12. Kayla Cromer was thoroughly enjoyable as Charlie - I am so happy to see her on my screen again! She did the best she could with what she was given. Yay, representation! I wonder if David Shore is going to try to get everyone who was on House in the final season? We had Robert Sean Leonard, Anne Dudek, Lisa Edelstein, and now Peter Jacobson. I mean we probably aren't going to get Hugh Laurie, but maybe we can get Jennifer Morrison, Jesse Spencer, Kal Penn, or Omar Epps?
  13. An earthquake that the evil lawyer summoned. imo they should just have evil lawyer - no super villain, just have the villain be the lawyer of the season and the detectives need to find proof to arrest her
  14. That too. God, I hope the wedding has some drama that causes Super Bailey to leave John. Maybe John's ex will profess her love for him even though she didn't when they saw each other again a few seasons ago.
  15. That is Kayla Cromer! Here's an article about it. Very excited to see her again! Hopefully she was able to push back against really ridiculous things the writers wanted her character to do.
  16. I sort of found it hilarious how the OR and hospital looked even more desolate than it has in the past. It was obvious that all of the babies were going to be okay - but it was an okay plotline I have to assume it is because she is sleep deprived to the point where the only thoughts about an annoying device are "should i unplug it or should I smash it" Early to mid January, I think.
  17. I really enjoyed Brad Garrett in this episode. The writing in this isn't top notch, but it is such a nice comfy show that I don't mind that the writing isn't as good as it should be.
  18. tbh I just assumed that Zeke had someone install cameras up and down his street because he has money and can get away with that
  19. Also - I like that we kept Cricket & her wine bar. I was worried that she could've been cut between seasons, as Martin Mull's host firmly went away.
  20. This was definitely a good season premiere! I like the pairing of Lexi/Edward - I hope that sticks, we don't need Nellward. I hope Brad Garrett stays - he's a welcome presence on all shows.
  21. I'm surprised they aren't trying to milk it for a million seasons. I wonder if they are ending it because they didn't pick up The Good Lawyer?
  22. Hill Harper is running for Senate. He will be leaving the show .
