  1. I hate those breaks. I was already very disappointed with the show, now I don't remember anything really. Just an idea of where the show stands
  2. I didn't really like the episode. The celebration of life was touching, until Jordan decided to speak her mind. I cannot stand her, the self-righteousness, the arrogance. She should not be a doctor, if she refuses care based on her feelings. It was way over the top, the mass casualties, all of them in one hospital. It defies my ability to suspend disbelief. And surprise! The hospital actually has 8 other surgeons, but of course they are all in some conference. They should have told Park to suit up in his super-surgeon gear and operate on everyone, with only one resident and one nurse. I mean, he can do micro surgery, orthopedics, brain surgery and any other modality without a single test to clear the patients. Surely he would be able to save them all. I thought it was a waste and I had a hard time watching to the end, so bored I was.
  3. I don't think that's the main reason for medical prfessionals wearing masks. Surgical masks are to protect doctors from getting bodily fluids on them. We do know that those masks don't protect against airborne viruses for example. I think in some situations, like burn victims, the doctors and nurses need to suit up to protect the patient In my recent surgery, on my hand, only one person had the mask on when i arrived in the OR. One of the nurses and another person were unmasked at that point
  4. Yes, I am curious too. And I am curious about the reaction Lim and Glassman will have. It is like they wanted to "pair" Charlie and Shaun to "help" Shaun evolve. But that's a little infantilizing because Shaun could be a teacher to another student. It all goes back to the overwriting on unnecessary drama in a very short season. All will end well in a most unrealistic way
  5. I'm in agreement with most here about Asher and Charlie. For a show with only a few episodes left, why so much overdramatic moments, like a murder? Why can't they just make Shaun and Charlie evolve in their relationship instead of all the set backs? A slow development and many set backs might be more realistic but there isn't enough time and they will obviously make it all good and perfect in the end, so just evolve, writers!
  6. I have a meningioma but it is calcified. I can understand the need to operate, I guess it is just one of those "right now" things that the show loves so much that annoys me. But the creativity ib=n the writers room is limited to super drama, I should expect
  7. It is just another writer's fumble. When the scene or plot is not about their relationship, they ignore it I liked Charlie in the episode too. She didn't correct all intrusive quirks but the interactions were well written enough that I ca go out on a limb and see her thinking about a situation before being indiscreet on personal matters. Besides, her comments on personal matters of doctors in front of patients is very mainstream for TV medical dramas Can a benign tumor grow so big that it will kill someone? I thought this alone is not a reason to operate. Observe and wait for a decision so drastic. And please! "I might be going deaf but I will not go deaf to save my life" What? I liked the story about the couple only because I like those graphics when Shaun is working the solution, and his reaction to it. Don't care if it is far-fetched, I just like that in the show Now, Jordan saying to a patient that god wants him to live was way out of line. Even in religious hospitals they avoid this. They do ask about religion but don't mention god in the middle of a medical diagnosis. As an atheist, it irks me
  8. That's the problem I have too, and it is what the writers did to Shaun: real autistic issues that don't match the story they created for the character. Any autistic person that is so passionate about a profession, would at least try to work out a series of self regulation actions, or peer support, to be able to work because accommodations don't mean ignoring laws or demanding that everyone else just do as the disabled person wants them to do, that they see things in the same way. That's just brattiness
  9. funny not so funny story: yesterday I cut my hand so badly, it cut the tendon. Not as serious as the story as the episode, obviously, but still specialized care. had emergency surgery after waiting 7 hours, the surgeon was a plastic surgeon, there were hand specialists involved this show is way too far from reality when it comes to surgeons and how it works
  10. I have been sick of Shaun for a while I will walk back just a tiny bit on the comment I made before I watched the show. I do think Charlie was inappropriate with the questions and needs to stop interrupting people because "that's how she learns". While this is pure bullshit, the way it was written should have been something like "take notes of your questions and we will discuss after this consultation is over. That is a reasonable accommodation. But Shaun was awful and completely unprofessional, he is the one needing accommodations if he can only teach people who agree with him, or who can ACCOMMODATE his style of teaching. And it is all on the writers and "consultants". All this makes me almost certain that the consultant, if there is one, is only a token title, someone they call in for a few details but nothing that would make this whole story more realistic. They have been writing Shaun unrealistic for all these seasons, I don't see them all of a sudden doing anything different because they are so full of themselves - maybe even more now that they have an autistic actor. They probably think that this nod the the community makes them so inclusive and respectful, so that's enough for them Not enough for me. So, last episode Park had this ultra complicated surgery that he did all by himself (brain? cannot remember) This time he was operating with ONE resident and ONE nurse, on bones, veins, arteries and ligaments, plus whatever else is there. This is not something I can ignore. That surgery would take a huge team and each team would tackle one specific area. I hate when shows do this, things that are just impossible to suspend disbelief. WTF writers? The way it is just give him a cape and superpowers. The character is nothing less than a superhero at this point, just add the costume
  11. reading this before watching and oh man! Shaun should have been fired so many times! and he should have been arrested at least once for destroying property when the trashed the medication room because he had a sad. Boo hoo. As for how they are showing Charlie, it is just another disappointment. They hire an actual autistic person to play the character but don't have a consultant to oversee the writing of the part. I mean, by reading this, I can conclude that she would not be where she is if she had not learned which boundaries she cannot cross. Another disservice to the community, making the quirk seem just like annoyance. And if they do have a consultant, the person probably also needs to assist the writers with the specific character. While autistic people can overstep and cross certain lines, the character is someone who needs to follow laws and rules to be able to advance. Having an autistic person just giving the thumbs up that Charlie portrays well some autistic people doesn't take into consideration the context. Obviously, I am speculating about consultants and all. It is just annoying that an autistic person is playing an autistic character and the writing is still not realistic, in the context of a resident in a hospital setting.
  12. I get that, the job, the fast change, all that. It is still objectification and it is patriarchal, but at least most models are adults. they are pressured to comply because the industry has too many aspiring models. I used to dance and sometimes changing costumes had to be fast and was done on the wings of the stage. But I was an adult and wasn't being filmed and watched by a crew But underage girls are legally children and the show had children forced to be naked in a room full of people. including being filmed naked. It was blurred for TV but the video exists and I don't understand how that was allowed. Unless all of them are emancipated. Still exploitation, in my opinion, and disgusting
  13. I tried to watch the episode but dozed off many times. I don't think I can continue watching this show. It is getting worse by the minute. I can try and ignore some bad writing in some shows but at least some of the writing needs to make sense. Nothing in this show makes any sense. The premise is lost, we don't see inmates battling fires and risking their lives for very little reward. The firefighters are always taking about personal issues int he middle of a "very dangerous fire". They could at lease make them work, being physical, while discussing their problems. The way it is, it is malpractice. Not even going to get into the kidney transplant bullshit Gabriela is in some rotation as a medic but she performs complicated surgeris in a rig, with no support, all by herself. c'mon! These people are supposed to be friends, but they are always feeling "so hurt" by any comment, then need to apologize to one another for some silly, infantile misunderstanding. Bode broods or gets angry. Or gets angry brooding. Not a lot of depth. Diane Farr overacts, in the same way the character overreacts (at least there is consistency). I mean, when Liam comes to the bar, he says something and she SCREAMS at him and pushed him away as if he had touched her or forced himself on her. Vince acts like a teenager and starts punching people Bode, the inmate who should no be back on this selective group of chosen inmates who don't re-offend, is the boss. Vince "fires" drone guy, Bode ORDERS him to fly the drone. Eve is the captain but she clearly doesn't have leadership skills. Bode MAY be a father, and his paternal instincts kick off immediately! Such a good boy he is! UGH So there, nothing makes any sense. I think I am done watching this.
  14. I am late to this show but maybe someone will be able to answer something. I fell into the rabbit hole of watching the show, going backwards n the seasons but skipping the drama. I was just curious about the creativity - or lack of creativity - of the designers. sometimes I would let the whole show tun and hated the whole bitching and backstabbing. In one of those times, I saw that some models on season one were like 16 and 17 years old. But I also saw that sometimes the editing had to blur the breasts when they were trying the outfits in the workroom. Meaning, the models were naked in front of the whole production team. Was this ever addressed in the media? How can girls who are 16 years old be forced to be naked in front of so many people? There is not consent when you are working or trying to get visibility in the area Also, what was the point of showing one of the designers butt naked going into the bathroom? Did this happened in other seasons? Did anything come up when Weinstein got arrested?
  15. She can just phone in then. I haven't watched the episode because I am not prepared for the shit show. Not sure if I will even be ready for another one.
