CarpeFelis

I didn’t recognize him right away but when I did that was exactly what immediately came to mind! The saxophone and that stupid hat. I kept thinking that Simone really needed to have a talk with Bailey and tell her exactly what happened in her previous residency. Chase is a racist, sexist SOB. The nerve of him saying Bailey’s not so great—I really wished Simone had yelled “Oh yeah? She cleaned up your mess and successfully resected the tumor after you gave up!” after him as he left. Both male patients came across as idiots. The kid knows he could die at any sudden motion yet tries to jump up when Millin finds the girl? I think Teddy should really blame herself for this one. Her telling Millin to find her was exactly what led to this outcome, and she only decided he should “fight for her” (or however she put it) because of her own issue with Owen. He’d said she was interested in bugs. Millin must have used that because she found her in an entomology club. I really hope Millin doesn’t go tell this girl what happened. Incredibly bad idea. She talked to the guy for all of 15 minutes and they didn’t even exchange numbers. Telling her will just make her feel like she’s the reason he died. Completely sick of Owen and Teddy. Especially Teddy since she was being a hypocrite with Owen and a complete bitch to Ben.

Glad Avery turned out not to be pregnant after all. What a mess that was. If the show is renewed I hope she goes away to med school. I liked her at the beginning of the season but now I really don’t. After their threesome night she had declared “never again” yet now she’s calling them a throuple?

He didn’t murder her. We got hints that he was probably conspiring with the “high-end gays” to murder her, but her death ended up being an accident and an autopsy would have borne that out.

He specifically said at some point that his mother had told him Jim killed his father. Either to Frank, Chelsea, or both, I don’t recall. ETA: Zion is not as smart as he thinks. Mr. Genius Baller MBA should have thought to open a Swiss bank account or one in the Caymans for Greg to deposit the money into. And Belinda is not nearly as rich as she thinks she is. The IRS will take a sizable chunk of that money because it was deposited into her US account. It’s only “retire and never work again” money if you invest it wisely and are considerably older than Belinda, who is maybe mid-40s? She could be around for another 50 years if she stays healthy. And you just know she’s gonna start blowing that money like a lottery winner.

I so wanted to see what she’d do if she found out Tim was the one who stole her lorazepam. Missed comedic opportunity, Mike White! Would also have enjoyed a scene with the Ratliffs getting off the plane only to find FBI agents waiting to haul Tim off in handcuffs. Bummer the Russians got away with it. ETA: Gaitok may think he’s got everything he wants now, but life with Mook isn’t going to be as great as he thinks. She’ll just keep pushing him to get more promotions until she drives him completely nuts.

Oh, it ws definitely also Broussard’s fault. She was more interested in her stats looking good than in seeing to it the patient got treated properly. (If you watch The Pitt, that woman from Admin is constantly on Dr. Robbie’s back about the stats on how quickly patients get treated and moved out of the ER.)

I think he has a particular frat-boy mentality I saw from a lot of 20-something guys when I was in my twenties. They seemed to view everything and everyone through a lens of “hot or not”. Saxon rating his sister’s attractiveness and speculating on her sex life, and encouraging his brother to hit on every attractive women he sees (“it’s a numbers game”) just to get laid fits with that mentality.

I read an interview with Patrick Schwarzenegger in which he said that at some point he tried to play Saxon a little more likable, but Mike White told him not to because nobody’s going to change that much in a week.

I saw that differently. He had this expression on his face when he took her hands. (Think Joey Tribbiani “How YOU doin’.”) I think she realized he was really only there to try to get into her pants after all and that’s why the rush to get him out.

Binged all 10 episodes in spite of the main character being so unlikable, because I really wanted to find out just what the hell she’d said to HR to get Xander suspended. She was tied with Cole for Most Unlikable. Danny was such a trainwreck! She came across as one of those people who just won’t get out of their own way and then thinks they’re always the victim. I sure don’t get why Xander fell in love with her with all her pull closer/push away whiplash. Or why Sam also seemed to be in love with her despite his denials. Or why nearly everyone seemed to think she was the best choice for chief resident. And I really don’t get why Xander still loved her at the end. It seems to me she threw him under the bus with HR so it wouldn’t look like favoritism if she was chosen for chief resident. We saw the argument before she went to HR, but never got to hear exactly what she told them. If she were truthful it should have gone something like “Dr. Phillips and I have been in a consensual relationship for x months, but I have ONLY JUST NOW figured out that if I get chief resident it will look like I was sleeping my way to the top, and he doesn’t understaAaAaAnd how I feel, so this is ALL HIS FAULT!” As for Cole—what a horrible person. Talks down to everyone and cheats on both his girlfriend and his mentor. If there is a second season (doubtful) I hope he does get sued. Loved when Luis told him he’d make life difficult for him in the ER if he hurt Cass. If Luis hadn’t already been my favorite character he sure would’ve been after that.

He wouldn’t necessarily have blood on him unless he shot someone at close range. That said, I doubt he’s the shooter. Same. And I keep wondering how she knows how to do the procedures she isn’t supposed to be doing on her own, especially since she’s just out of med school and shouldn’t know any more than Whitaker or Javadi. Seems kind of suspicious.

I thought it was funny when Saxon said he had no hobbies. What, pumping iron and pounding protein shakes isn’t a hobby? (Okay, we never see him in the weight room but you don’t have that body without working for it.) I suppose bullying his siblings and hitting on every attractive woman he sees don’t count. True, a lot of these rich people just have generational wealth. But would Mook know the difference? I think she just doesn’t want to be poor and pushing Gaitok to be more ambitious is one way to try to get there.

Sritala keeps getting non-answers to her questions about the supposed movie because these two guys didn’t agree on their stories beforehand. Frank is obviously BSing and making things up on the spot, claims to have watched her movies but can’t name any, and then Rick calls him his actual name when he’s claimed to be Steve. All I could think was that she’s either incredibly dumb or so vain that she’s enjoying the idea of starring in a movie again too much to notice they’re lying. And her husband didn’t seem to notice either! I think Gaitok is going to try to play the big hero to impress Mook, take the gun to confront the Russians over the robbery, and all hell will break loose. (As to Mook: if she so badly wants an ambitious guy, it would make more sense for her to throw herself at some rich guest than to tepidly date someone she isn’t really very interested in.) Greg has to know that offering Belinda $100k is basically an admission of guilt—he doesn’t seem the type to think anyone would fall for “I had nothing to do with it, I just want to preserve my peace”. I think if she takes it he’ll kill her and take back the money. (And she would have been smarter to act shocked that Tanya is dead, like she hadn’t heard—which she really hadn’t until she looked up Greg online.) As soon as Laurie and Alexei finished having sex, my husband said “He’s going to ask her for money.” Lucky for her his girlfriend showed up before she ran out of excuses for saying no! After she got away and was walking down a dark street alone I thought she’d get mugged or something, but no, a cab conveniently shows up. Piper either doesn’t want any of her family along at the monastery or was already starting to get disillusioned about what it would be like to stay there. I think it would be funny if Lochlan decides to stay and she doesn’t.

My impression of Lochlan is that he doesn’t really know what he wants and is easily led. He readily agrees to come to dinner and back Piper up with the parents when she tells them she wants to stay at the monastery for a year. But later when Saxon wants to stay and party on the boat, he goes along with it without a second thought. I think the reason he tends to follow Saxon more than Piper is because Saxon is an obnoxious bully who’ll give him a hard time if he doesn’t, so he takes the path of least resistance.

S4E6: Really, really hate the new character. He’s way too glib and arrogant. I really enjoyed Darlene telling him to call her Officer Curtis. She’s not afraid to remind any of these men of their manners—except Selwyn, who rarely needs the reminder anyway. Speaking of Selwyn, I loved his well-deserved digs at Fox that were taken as “humor”. Is Fox really that stupid, or is calling it humor another of his many not-as-subtle-as-he-thinks putdowns?
