Wow, I really felt bad for Carly in this episode. She seems to really care about Shaun and is hurt that he is finding it hard to be close to her.
Interesting backstory on Morgan. I was surprised to hear her so against sex, but it sort of made sense once she told the story.
I'm not really looking forward to Shaun going to see his dying father. Why must there be so much depressing dramas on shows these days?
I have no sympathy for her at all. She knew what he was like, that 1,000 yard stare he has if nothing else is enough to make you realize he is not on the same wavelength. Given she works in the medical field she should be even more aware of how futile it all is.
Is the show depressing though? I am starting to think I have got it all wrong. It's a comedy, right? I mean trying to get a kid into a strip club, trying to seduce an autistic man, a doctor flashing her boobs at an underage patient, an autistic doctor?
I mean, it's not meant to be taken seriously, right?

I very much feel like that. I can't help but wonder if she succeeds to a point that satisfies her curiosity will she just dump him.

I am confused here. The plaintiff's attorney made a settlement offer to the defendant. Benny took the offer to the defendant, and it appears they were amenable to it. Doesn't it stop there? Does the insurance company have the right to determine if it will go to trial, or are they just supposed to pay up?
Secondly, Benny should have deposed the other two kids and have been aware in the discrepancy in testimony. The injured kid committed fraud and perjury by stating that he got the idea from the pizza owners. Maybe Bull is right in that it probably wouldn't help the case, but fraud and perjury it still is.
Thirdly, Bull openly admitted he had possession of confidential company emails. If the insurance rep was on her feet, she would have realized that and started her own investigation, and TAC would be in severe trouble.
Agreed it was a really dumb episode. Why wouldn't they just go to the kid and his family and tell them that they have proof/information that the kid committed perjury and fraud? If nothing else they may have backed down, case closed.
I think they made the Insurance Co. woman into such a bitch because we were supposed to feel good when she lost. But I saw her as the only intelligent person in the whole ep. Except for when she didn't act on Bull disclosing he had confidential documents from her company. Or is that just considered acceptable practice now?
I did like seeing Samantha Mathis again, have had a soft spot for ever since her first film Pump Up The Volume.
Benny as per usual just annoyed me and I still don't quite understand what purpose the tall guy who likes loud suits serves.

Carly is not "trying to find ways to bed Shaun". They are both adults in a relationship and they both want it. Shaun has expressed it several times. If one was pushing the other into something they don't want that would be a whole different story, whatever genre they are, but it's not shown to be the case here. If Shaun changes his mind about wanting it, and Carly still pursues it against his wishes, then it would be a problem, but that's not the case for now. So I'm fine with Carly and Shaun wanting to have sex together and exploring ways to get there.
But I'm not so sure I want to watch it, or at least I would like to be also shown other aspects of their relationship as well. I think centering their relationship around the physical aspect may be what is putting some viewers off because we don't really see what else they might be sharing or why they enjoy each other's company.
Well she is though. How would you feel if a man was told by his girlfriend that she isn't ready/uncomfortable whatever and than that man does some research and has another attempt at it? I doubt you would be so understanding.
I think at some point she needs to step away from what he is saying and look at how he is behaving. Because his words and his actions do not align.
I recall when they watched a film and she wanted to hold his hand/put her arm around him, I don't recall which. He was very upset about it and even came back with how he shouldn't have to do it because it makes him uncomfortable. There was her hint that it wasn't going to work.
If he needs to have a girlfriend at all he needs one who is quite happy without the sex and the need for touch. As you say we don't see much of their relationship outside of attempts of sex/physical closeness, perhaps he needs a woman who is some kind of genius and they get their closeness through intense intellectual discussion?

See, that aspect was something I actually liked. It didn't come across as her going through the motions because she wasn't really attracted to him; more like her knowing that she needed to keep things low-key if there was going to be a chance of Shaun not getting overwhelmed. When she was describing the Shaun-friendly features of her bedroom in a tempting tone of voice - I thought that was cute, and came across that she really does want this with him specifically.
Even though as a viewer, I have to agree with you and others upthread that I have a little trouble understanding why she does - but as izabella put it:
I don't have any close friends or family on the spectrum; while I work with several autistic children and adults in a volunteer program, they are all very low-functioning. So I don't really have a proper barometer for Shaun's behavior; he comes across as immature and uncontrolled to me, not someone who could be an emotionally satisfying partner, but that could be because I'm filtering him through my own assumptions.
It's basically the opposite of the boy from the last episode - he put out a very confident air, and it was clear the viewer wasn't supposed to be squicked out by Reznik flashing him (though it definitely landed that way for at least a few), despite him being legally and mentally a child. Yet it's difficult to see Shaun as sexual because he's behaving in ways I instinctively classify as immature, even though that's not where it's coming from with him.
I guess it is just weird. If Shaun wasn't autistic and say just a shy virgin then I can see how Carly's approach would be fine. But I just can't help but keep thinking that if Shaun were a female and someone was trying to find ways to bed them than it would be a whole different story.
That is the same reason I am critical of Reznick flashing the kid the other ep. Yes, he was very confident and knew exactly what he wanted and understood that. Fine but in the end she was still the adult and he was still a kid. In fact, lets say he was an adult about to go blind and see one last pair of breasts and she flashed him, that is still unprofessional on her part.
So I guess I take a pretty hard line approach to it all.
I agree though, Shaun comes across as immature and that is what adds to Carly being creepy in my opinion.

Coming from an autistic person, thank you! And I agree with you that Carly definitely isn't Shaun's soulmate for life. I had a good first relationship that ended. I think the show should have Shaun handle at least one break-up...you know, experiment a little. I also prefer slow-burn relationships anyway, kind of like what it appears they could be doing with his relationships with Claire and Lea (I really wish Shaun had more scenes with both of them this season). In my opinion, in order for a fictional relationship to work, the couple must have a lot of time to show that they have chemistry platonically before they actually become a couple.
Also, to add to your criticism of kfir's post, I'm pretty sure Shaun is capable of being a father. He has mentioned that he does want children. I want him to be a father, too...but not right now, and it probably won't be with Carly.
You can criticize me as much as you like however the fact is Shaun leaves little confidence in me. I doubt he would be able to handle a break up well. I also think the way Claire has treated him has been rather cruel. It would be cruel to anyone but especially someone like Shaun.
It doesn't help that Carly and Shaun have zero connection/chemistry. Carly was so mechanical in her seduction attempt.
Yeah, gotta disagree, Shaun as a father would be a disaster. Just because he wants to be one doesn't mean he should.
54 minutes ago, izabella said:I think this is where some of my discomfort comes from. Shaun comes across as childlike and naive when it comes to human interactions and romantic relationships, so I don't see him as a sexual being, or a sexy person. Sexuality and seeing someone as sexy, for me, is about having a mental connection with a man, so I actually see Carly as the one who is experimenting rather than being sexually attracted to Shuan, if that makes sense.
But I think Shaun can choose for himself, though, because he is an adult with adult thoughts and feelings which he may not be able to communicate, but the show is definitely showing us that he is making his own choices and this is what he wants.
I think it comes down to this for me:
I am realizing that I do have these beliefs, opinions, and prejudices that prevent me from seeing Shaun as a sexual person.
Yep, I think that is why it feels so creepy. He is childlike no matter what some people may like to think. Now, this doesn't mean all autistic people are like Shaun but we are discussing Shaun here and this show. Shaun is seriously naive and socially incompetent.
I agree that Carly is also experimenting. She should know better overall. I don't think it is a prejudice to be honest. It is being real about the situation. For example if I (you?) were in a hospital and this odd person approached you and said they were going to be your doctor, would you accept them as such? I certainly wouldn't, my body, my health, I need to feel confident.
He may be able to choose for himself but can he handle the consequences? I still have my doubts.
Again in regards to reversing the genders. The whole #metoo movement has made many men very cynical about trusting women when it comes to sex, also false rape claims in general. In my country the Feminists even talk about "enthusiastic consent" in terms of sex and lots of other things which make sex a mine field legally.
My point is that it is risky enough to try that with a non mentally impaired woman let alone pursue one who has autism. I can just see that going wrong fast and all the things I have mentioned being used by the prosecuting attorney.
EG :"So you knew my client was autistic and struggles with understanding basic social protocols and yet, you still pursued them sexually? Even though you knew that even a hug makes them feel very uncomfortable?"
Fantasy land is great, real world is another story!

Trying to understand the discomfort...you say that it would be wrong if a man were pursuing an autistic woman. Is that because you think he would be taking advantage of someone who is unable to choose for themselves? Do you think Carly is taking advantage of Shaun? Is it because he is autistic that you think he (or an autistic woman) can't/is unable/is vulnerable to other people to make their own choices about sex?
I'm a little uncomfortable with it, too, but I can't put my finger on why.
I think society in general would have a huge problem with a man pursuing an autistic woman as shown in here.
For me there's a few things going on here,
1/ The reality is that even though Shaun may be a genius in the medical field, socially he is lacking the skills and basic understanding.
2/ His autism means that closeness, both physical and emotional can be difficult for him. He expressed that he is uncomfortable with sex. Now, we have it drummed into us that when someone isn't keen on sex than it's time to stop. Again, if Shaun was a Shauna and the man tried other tact/kept pressing than there would be serious repercussions.
3/ I think Carly should just give up. I believe she is creepy for even wanting a relationship with him. I think for Shaun all of this is like some kind of experiment/game. He is like a child that has been thrown into the adult world.
Can he choose for himself? I don't believe so. What if he got her pregnant? Or she tricks him and gets pregnant? Is he capable of being a father, is it fair he be forced to pay child support?
The whole concept of this show is all well and good in fantasy land but in the real world it's just not that simple.
Same with the story line about the Doctor flashing her breasts at the underage patient as well as trying to get him into a strip club.

I recall an episode of House when a dying girl was lamenting the fact that she might die without ever having been kissed, so Chase kissed her. It was the same dilemma -- kinda cringeworthy and wrong, but also kind of a heartfelt attempt to be kind. Generates discussion, that's for sure.
I would guess if either doctor were caught out then it could possibly be up to a judge to decide if it were worthy of a trial or not.
I can see the kindness/humanitarian grounds but they have to be applied equally. Often we see female sex abusers get away with things male sex abusers don't get away with. And when I say "sex abusers" I mean primarily teachers who have sex with students, it seems more acceptable for a female teacher to do that than a male.

I absolutely agree. There is no chemistry between Carly & Shawn. Because there is none between the actors. Chemistry is a fragile thing.
There is chemistry between Dr Glassman & Shawn. Not romantic of course, but that isn't the only kind of connection there is. They communicate. They can butt heads, but they connect.
Carly lays on the bed in a suggestive pose, Shawn runs. That is pressure. Aren't these the days where a person isn't supposed to pressure someone into having sex? If someone clearly isn't comfortable, you are supposed to let up?
I agree they don't even seem like friends let alone lovers. Yeah I think she should just give up and honestly should never have bothered to begin with. He operates on his own frequency, leave him be. Doesn't matter if he thinks he wants sex or a girlfriend or not.
As per my other post I don't even think this discussion would be happening if Shaun was a Shauna, it would be considered sick and twisted for anyone to be wanting to have a relationship with an autistic woman. Let alone applying the pressure.
5 hours ago, izabella said:Shawn said he wanted to have sex, and wanted to try to work through his autism-related discomfort with touch and closeness in order to get to a point where he could have sex with Carly. She did some research and found that people with autism could potentially respond to exposure therapy, which is what they tried. The sensory experience with too difficult for Shawn the first time and he ran away. But, because HE wanted to have sex and wanted to try again, he did some research and knew that exposure therapy was his best shot, so HE came to Carly's to try again. This time, he was better prepared and made progress lying next to her and said it felt scary but good, and was comfortable lying there and holding hands.
I don't think this makes Carly creepy. I think it highlights the challenges of getting into a relationship with Shawn because it won't be as simple as hopping into bed when passion strikes.
I think it would be a different story if Shaun were female. I don't think it would be a good look for a man to be even pursuing an autistic woman let alone wanting to have sex with her.
The lack of chemistry as well makes it even weirder for me.

He was an adventurer, but exactly. He would have never been the first on the moon, Britain had no space program, but he would have probably risen in rank in the Navy.
Still, think of Elizabeth's "secret dream." It's honestly just as ridiculous. She'd like to raise top of the line race horses like the Aga Khan! Yeah, no money involved in that one...ahem. She only HAS what horses she has (and all the servants involved in caring for, and training them) because of the Crown's fabulous wealth!
She talked last season about being ordinary, living in the country with horses and dogs. The truth is, if she was "ordinary" she would be lucky to afford ONE horse, and keep it fed and healthy, and it most certainly would not be a top race horse, and there is no way she could afford the prime trainers or facilities.
They seem to have no concept of life without the obscene wealth and perks of royalty.
He would have ended up a lot like Lord Mountbatten cast aside in the end when he refused to go along with Govt orders. He was too old to serve in any war and may not have been a good leader in that respect anyway. I can't help but wonder why he didn't fly to the US to see the spaceship take off with his own eyes. He certainly had the power to do so.
Right about the Queen, I think her dream was still with the proviso she was wealthy! I also wonder how much she really knew about horses, funny because unless I missed something up until now you haven't seen her show much interest in horses and now it's the passion of her life?
No they don't have any concept and that is what makes it hard to watch at times because really there is no one to root for. Anne is probably the closest and I feel some sympathy for Charles but that is it.

I agree that Lou is a nice looking lady but she's not this hot piece that should have guys fawning all over her. It's kinda like on How I Met Your Mother how Robin's hotness was way overstated.
Lou was okay in earlier seasons but in the last several she's been annoying to me. Then again she was always my least favorite character. At the beginning of series she was so New York and was kinda big timing the small town Hudson people. Then when she decided to stay she kinda took over everything, telling people what to do.
I really liked her with Peter. I thought he balanced her out well. I thought Lou was unfair to him about the work thing. You have to go where the work is. And she had no problem being away from Hudson when it benefited her. For the past few seasons she's been in New York doing this Maggie's thing and doing exactly what she got mad at Peter for and divorced him over. I also didn't like how the writers manufactured the thing with Peter having a girlfriend after the split. It felt like they did that just to garner sympathy for Lou.
I'm not feeling it with Luke either. He is Georgie all over again. And I remember a lot of people didn't like Georgie when she first came on to replace Mallory. I never did have a problem with Georgie tho. But this new kid just doesn't feel like a fit.
I was really surprised when a season 13 was announced. As much as I love this show it feels like it should be getting to the end.
So true about Lou! She has a nice face but body wise her legs are like tooth picks, not really the image I have when I think of a sex goddess. Personality wise she isn't what I would consider charming or alluring either.
Ashley was hot and Georgie now that she is grown up have it.
I was always bored with Lou and her take charge mentality. Her intelligence is overstated as well as her looks.
She married Peter knowing his work meant he travelled then complained about it. Never understood that.
My other problem with them taking on Luke is that to me they aren't really great parents. The show doesn't allow them to be. Remember when they went off to Mongolia for a horse's mental well being?! Who does that when you have a newborn?! That whole story line was a joke anyway.

Your question is interesting although it applies more to Margaret whom we often have seen sleep late and drink too much. I think ordinary people at that time had much time to think about as they have to work. F.ex. when women lost their husbands during the war, they couldn't wallow in their sorrow for ever but had to take care of their children. If they were lucky, they had friends to whom they could talk and get comfort, but eventually they were adviced: "move on".
Actually it was shown that Philip did work: he visited two factories and delived a speech. From these we were supposed to make a conclusion that he had many such occassions which may have seem a great honor to the owners (maybe workers too) but to him they were endless repetition.
Yes, that was my point really. Working class people can't afford much navel gazing. We have to get on with it or risk losing what little we may have.
I suppose that is my problem. I don't see a great deal of value in their work. He visits a factory makes a speech. I see the same kind of crap at my work where the bosses make speeches that are empty, shake hands etc They don't realize they are being counter productive a lot of the time because we don't believe them and they do the opposite of what they say in the end!
I think Phil wants more but I don't know if he was King or had never married the Queen if he would have achieved what he wanted anyway. I think he likes to blame that but it's just an excuse/easy thing to blame.

Although I can understand why people born into wealth and privilege often feel entitled, I am not interested in watching repeated scenes of their whining and tantrums. Just because you are rich doesn't mean you can't be aware of the problems of other people and care about making their lives better. Some of the scenes that were most interesting to me in this series were those showing the Queen and Charles recognizing what ordinary folk go through and showing some compassion or solidarity with them. Of course, it doesn't change that the royal lifestyle is costing their subjects a ton of money, but I guess the people could vote to stop funding the monarchy if they really wanted to.
I was also interested in the interactions with the Prime Ministers and was surprised to see that she ultimately seemed to have the best relationship with Wilson (aside perhaps from Churchill). Although he was Labor and most of his colleagues seemed very anti-Royal, he clearly had respect for the Queen's position and as a person, so it was good to see her return that respect and to ask for a dinner invitation at the end, which was apparently an unusual honor for a PM.
The scenes where the servants are holding the basin's for them while they brush their teeth and even spit! The scene where Phil has the servant change the channel! How grossly obscene is that, sure it gives this poor slob a job but it is so denigrating.
I agree, some of them seem so out of touch. Margaret for example who thinks she would be a better Queen seems to be one of the worst.
I think the PM's come down to personality. Wilson seemed like a gentle kind of man whereas Heath from the outset was rougher. Their upbringings say it all. Wilson came from a political family so would have been well educated in how to deal with people. Heath was lower working class so had a more straight forward nature about him.

Couldn't they just take the kid to an art class? Are they really that naive they thought a strip club would let him in?
The female doctor by law abused the child by exposing herself to him, doesn't matter how much he may have wanted to see boobs etc. And she was unprofessional.
Flip the genders and imagine a male or female doctor doing this to a female underage patient.

I can't help but think that if "The Good Doctor" was a female it would be seen very differently if a man was wanting a relationship with her and also wanting sex with her even though she is clearly uncomfortable. It wouldn't matter how much research the man did.
I think this woman is now pushing creep level to be honest.

Obvious from the start that the younger brother was a sociopath, the urgent nature of why he had to see the gun. The distraction to get him out of the room.
On the bright side at least they didn't mention any anti gun propaganda during the ep. Very rare for a tv show now to avoid the political angle.

I went back and started watching some season 1 episodes on Netflix and the horses were a lot more prominent. It has always been a character heavy show but has gotten more so in recent seasons. Don't get me wrong, I still love the show.
They keep trying to get me to care about Lou and Mitch and I just don't. I so don't. I still like Peter but I guess they're never gonna get him and Lou back together. I like Peter better than Lou. If she went back to NY and Peter stayed that would be fine.
Are there any Canadians on this thread? Is season 13 gonna be the last season? Again, I love the show but I'm thinking it may have run its course. But I'm a completionist and I gotta see it through to the end.
I actually liked Caleb and Ashley when they left it was like the true heart of the show died. He is back now but he isn't the same. Sidelined too much.
I think it has kind of run it's course. We are seeing the same stories repeated now. How many more times can they adopt a kid (basically a Mallory replacement) how many more times can someone fall down a well or a horse get sick etc
I was never that interested in Lou, Mitch was kind of interesting but he has been sidelined too now. Believe it or not I am very late to the show and binged watched the first 12 seasons! I am having trouble still being into it with this one though.

Since Anne was never going to be the monarch nor the mother of a monarch, her virginity was really not that important. Camilla couldn't be Charles's wife in the 70s because of the fear that she could try to pass of Andrew's child as the next in line from the throne. With Anne, the family could find someone from the right family who did not mind what she did before the marriage. We saw the same with Margaret this season. Elizabeth was fine with her having a discreet affair with Roddy. The Queen Mum was a different story being from another generation. Margaret also had a lot more leeway than Elizabeth as a single woman.
Very calculated as per usual I see! Makes sense, the rules depend on how important you are to the overall family!

She was at the house with the abusive captain for two years (per the stupid season 5 episode where everyone got reassigned), then went to 51 in mid season 4, so she's been a firefighter for at least 6 years. For comparison, Casey made lieutenant after 7 years (per his fake funeral in 6x1).
Thanks for the background. But it still seems like she has just been thrown into the training role, you would think the trainers need some kind of course and qualifications on that themselves.

So, let me get this straight. The grocery store owner apparently has a fire insurance policy that pays off only in case of accidental ignition. The private inspector rules it "suspicious", so they don't have to pay. This doesn't make sense at all.
Is Kidd totally assigned to the academy, or is she there only a day or two a week for the physical fitness portion of the academy? Either way it's costing CFD a ton of money for OT to fill her slot.
How qualified is Stella for that training role anyway? You would think you would have to be trained to be a trainer first? And maybe I am just losing interest with the show but isn't she still pretty new to the whole fire fighting caper?

As I was reading up on Princess Anne I saw that there was an attempted kidnap on her in 1973 so I am very surprised that wasn't mentioned given that the season finishes up in 1977.
Also how do you not make any reference to Northern Ireland at all as others have mentioned. We get a whole ep on Chuck learning Welsh, Phil fanboying Astronauts and having another crisis of masculinity but we don't get a word on Ireland?
I'm also a bit surprised there has been no mention of Thatcher yet, I know she isn't PM yet and we will probably see her meeting with the Queen next season but by the end of this season she surely would have been on the scene somewhere. Surely that would have been noteworthy at least in passing.

Just finished the season. I don't know if it was because I was late to the show and so binge watched Season 1 & 2 back to back but having to wait over a year rather eagerly to get this season seemed like a bit of an anti climax once it arrived.
There were some good episodes but as another poster mentioned it felt fragmented. For me it was like the episodes for the most part stood alone where you could have almost watched the eps in any order without it effecting continuity much.
I found the Royals in particular Philip expecting a pay rise and bemoaning things that may of us would be happy to take without question to be a far too much. In my opinion these people are just high class welfare recipients who double up on the jobs of politicians. When they actually do something that is. Seeing him fanboy the astronauts and have yet another crisis of masculinity because he isn't King was also tiresome. Makes you wonder how us ordinary folk cope with anything when these uber wealthy privileged people go to pieces over anything.
The Prime Ministers are always interesting and how they interact with the Queen. Some see her as a nuisance and others as neutral support.
If Charles is that miserable he should just leave there is nothing they can do about it but of course, like Margaret he doesn't want to give up the life of privilege. I am amazed he still wants Camilla after seeing what she is really like. Anne is kind of sexy, maybe because she is so aware and cold.
I was rather surprised at the conversation about Anne and Parker Bowles, how she just told her mother and grandmother she slept with him. I thought they would be more puritanical than that and as virginity seems so important in partners to the royals it doesn't seem important to themselves, even the females.
I read somewhere that we should have seen Diana Spencer in this season but unless I missed it we didn't. I would say she would make an appearance next season.
Overall an ordinary season which didn't engage me as much as the first two.

S03.E09: Incomplete
in The Good Doctor
Carly has had so many warning flags though. For me that night they watched a film and she wanted to hold hands but he didn't want to at first. Then later on he tells her that they shouldn't have to do anything like that because it makes him feel uncomfortable but it doesn't make her uncomfortable not to do it.
Like, he just assumed it was ok for her to have a boyfriend without the physicality.
I feel like they are using each other but it is all so cringeworthy. He is the ultimate "fixer 'er upper" so Carly no doubt enjoys that, to an extent.
For him, he just sees everyone else and thinks that if they have a partner than so should he. There is no real understanding of anything he wants though. It's like a child who says they want a new toy because their friends all have one.
Then he gets the toy and casts it aside because it was more exciting from afar and when he didn't have one.
