Pink-n-Green

And we're introduced to Philip's friends Леонид, his brother Дмитрий and his other brother Дмитрий.

See, I had figured they'd be safe because they're American citizens. But I suppose extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures.

I would love to see poor Martha come home but I don't think she'd be welcome. Maybe Elizabeth will meet an untimely end and Phillip/Clark will go back to Russia and they can pick up where they left off :)

Here's what I would really love to see as the series wraps up. Apologizing beforehand because I'm not certain at all that I can translate my "vision" from my head to the keyboard! It's 1987 and Paige is a sophomore in college (I figure she's the same age as I am). She lives in a dorm but is still close enough to take part in family spying hijinks. In the last episode, we jump ahead to 1989 when she is graduating from college. Somehow, I'm not sure how, we cut to E and P and Henry, heck maybe even Stan and his woman in the audience watching the ceremony. Then a montage of Paige clips starts up, showing her from the beginning of the series and you can see how much she has changed. Over this montage, you can hear a group of people saying, "...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter." and the camera cuts to Paige standing in a group of people and they're all wearing Service Dress Whites. She has her right hand up and you can hear her voice plainly saying, "So help me God" So basically Paige got an appointment to the Naval Academy (I had considered West Point but the Naval Academy is closer to where they live) and she is now a commissioned officer and the sky is the limit as far as the information she can get. It doesn't look so hot on the page but, I swear, it was good in my head! lol

Oh my gosh! That pimp is Lujack from Early to mid-eighties Guiding Light!

I don't know if you made this line up or if you've seen it somewhere else, but I love it. Bitchy, undermining female doctor is such an archetype and I was disappointed when she showed up. Surgery is still an old-boys club; why couldn't they have them being supportive of one another? And it sounds like she wants a cardio-thoracic fellowship? Is she competing with Claire for that? I'd never heard Claire say she wants cardio-thoracic. Am I the only person here who really likes Dr. Andrews? I was actually watching some hour-long bio on Whitney Houston last week and Hill Harper was narrating it. I was going nuts trying to remember where I knew him from! Maybe a white coat is the medical equivalent of Clark Kent's glasses? Also, I finally got to see the entire run of Bates Motel and, to tell you the truth, I'm a little afraid of Shaun at this point!

I think Shaun would be a brilliant radiologist or pathologist; both specialties where you can go without face to face contact with a patient! But I guess an entire hour of Shaun interpreting ultrasounds and CAT scans would be a snoozefest. :)

Ugh; only got through the first 15 minutes. That Conrad dude; I COULD NOT TAKE him one second more. He seems to be such a stereotypical a$$ that all he needs is a moustache to twirl. A third year resident with the power to kick another doctor out of the residency program? And this is nitpicky, but at the beginning when they zoomed in on the lead character's Harvard diploma it said he received a "Bachelor of Arts in Medicine". What does that even mean? Did they let him skip medical school and come to work with only a Bachelor's degree??????? Shouldn't it read "Doctor of Medicine"?

I laughed so hard when I read this and then thought to myself, "Eh, that's not a laughing matter." Then I read it again and laughed even harder :) I think I am in the minority that I liked Lea but maybe I only liked her because I found out the actress is from near Pittsburgh and that's my hometown. Come to think of it, before I knew that, she kind of annoyed me.

That's so funny because I thought of this thread while I was on the elliptical machine this evening and considered asking the commentariat if it thought Lea was the show's version of the manic pixie dream girl! I'm glad to see I wasn't far off. I dunno, though, can someone be an engineer AND a MPDG?

I forgot that this show was coming back tonight so it was a nice surprise to see it on my DVR. I just started watching a few minutes ago but the only thing I'm really thinking is, who on the writing staff has a connection to Pittsburgh? Nobody who has not spent time there would ever know what "nebby" is!

I loved the episode as I've loved every episode in the re-boot! Although, I didn't watch the series the first time around so I don't have that to compare them to. I think part of the reason I love it is because it seems like the actors are having so much fun. Question: who was the short older man Will and Grace (or their 1912 alter-egos) ran into on the street? I'm guessing he's normally part of the cast?

To me, the cliffhanger is that I think we're going to learn Dr. Glassman's backstory and more about Shaun's past when the season starts up again next month. Shaun's fleeing back to Wyoming (Wyoming, right? I remember it's one of those big, square states) is the perfect vehicle to bring all of that stuff the forefront and I for one am very excited about that! I don't care about Melendez and Jessica either. I figured trouble was ahead a few episodes ago when Jessica said something about places they could get married and Melendez mentioned marrying in a church. If this show lasts long enough, I predict that Claire and Melendez will end up together. Freddie acted the heck out of those "breakdown" scenes. He has always been a really underrated performer; hopefully he'll be recognized when award season rolls around.

I'm so sad that this is the last show before the winter hiatus! I'm curious to see how the episode plays out vs. how the previews make it look. It's hard to imagine Shaun just wailing on Dr. Glassman like we saw!

The ACS is an organization with different membership levels. Membership is, I believe, open to med students and residents as well as attendings . In order to be a Fellow (Fellow, American College of Surgeons), however, you need to already be certified in your surgical specialty.

It's crazy how prevalent malpractice suits are.

I originally posted this in the "Apple" thread but I got a few messages suggesting that I put in the most recent episode as well... "Geez Romano, how many times do I have to kill you?"

"Geez, Romano, how many times to I have to kill you?"

Watching last night's episode I noticed that The Costuming Powers That Be took FACS off of EVERYONE'S lab coats. Poor Dr. Melendez, got his board certification ripped out from under him :(

Me too! When I saw that first scene with Claire and Jared, my first thought was "Not THIS again?!?" I meant to mention earlier that I liked seeing Pej Vahdat (Squintern Dr. Aristoo Vaziri from "Bones") as the cardiologist working with Melendez on the little boy's care. I was bummed to see on IMDB that he's only in one episode though.

Wow. Is it me or have the writers really upped their game? At the beginning of the series, the only person I was interested in was Shaun. Now, I care about the whole gang. Dr. Melendez was a bit of a jerk but now he's a three dimensional character and I like him! Claire's character is funny and sweet and idealistic. Dr. Andrews is more than a hospital president wannabe in the most well-tailored lab coat I've ever seen. I'm interested in Aaron Glassman's past. I've even warmed to Jared! I tuned in for Freddie's adorableness and I'm staying for the great chemistry the cast members have with one another. "Or it could be ringworm". I wonder if there's a way I could incorporate that in my everyday vocabulary?

I think the writers did a good job with the way they drop little hints here and there about the past. At this point, I am as curious about Dr. Glassman's backstory as I am about Shaun's.

I wonder if Antonia and Freddie sit around between takes speaking to each other in their English accents about soccer (er, I mean football!)? I love, love LOVE David Boreanaz but I couldn't sit through more than the first ten minutes of SEAL Team. I didn't even know that poor Max was in it as well.

That opened up my Bates Motel to Good Doctor thought process! Imagine an episode where a tourist from White Pine Bay, Oregon is admitted to the hospital because she's having trouble with her transplanted lungs! The mind reels :)

Do you remember in auditions when some of the judges made a comment about Alexandria (I think that was her; she wore a red dress for her solo) looking too muscular? Kelli answered that the uniform would hide her arms. I'm wondering if Kelli doesn't like a really "ripped" body and, since you can't hide your abdomen in that uniform, she chose a post of Lauren from the back. Lauren's face looks really pretty in her cameo; she's one of my new favorites.
