Something I have noticed is that Leslie tells them about the bonuses constantly. People just seem to zoom by them. I remember in past series as soon as someone saw them, they grabbed and ran or at least tried to put them in their baskets. The one couple even said: "Why didn't we grab the bonus?" It makes no sense, I mean these are like in obvious spots. In the 80-90s version they were sometimes hard to see or were in the oddest of places. These are like right on top of them and they are: "oh umm... need to grab more boxes of kit kats." What?

Oh that's exactly it. All these others hows from Shondaland have ended for a couple of reasons. 1. They lost in ratings. 2. The main actors were ready to move on. 3. Even the writers were: "We can't do this anymore. 4. The network said: "it's getting expensive and you don't have the ratings and half of you are ready to leave the show, so it's been fun." Grey's honestly, has nothing to fill in the void, in fact if the show left say this year and they gave Station 19 another year, I would bet dollars to donutes it be gone by that season. It doesn't have big enough ratings or anything to keep it going longer. Even as a spin off of Grey's, even Private Practice didn't go past 7 years.

Until this season, Maggie finally sounds like a normal person. Honestly, Maggie has had the most WTF attitude when it comes to either sex or a relationship. She either makes up some lame excuse (Like how she lost her ex before she came to the series). The fact she got involved with two men who were married. The entire Deluca and Jackson situation. Or how she ALWAYS ALWAYS had to talk about others making her feel like a baby. Shut up!

Yep and that's gotten other shows cancelled sooner because of paying more of the actors. Hell, some shows have tried to remain in their status with decent to OK ratings by firing various actors and cutting down shows to make sure they can "afford them" and it turned them into crap a whole lot faster.

I agree and I also saw my parents cater to others thinking and God forbid if they went against a parent or something. They both survived cancer and are not in a stage of their lives. Where the mortgage is paid off, all the kids are gone, they are retired and while they are keeping the duplex I grew up in a good living situation. I did take a few chances they didn't take and that got me a very good career, doctorate and a nice house. Sadly, I fell victim to listening or trying to keep other family members happy. As a result, I have about $7K in debt, I really shouldn't have. I keep working my butt off and show how valuable I am, but they give promotions or admin jobs to people are "friends" with admins. I've dealt more with politics both business and wordly more than my parents EVER dealt with themselves and it's extremely exhausting. Every time we had debt paid off, someone convinced my wife or myself to invest in some crap business. That put us right back in debt. It's amazing if we would have said "no" to a few people. We would be a lot comfortable and I wouldn't be fretting about bills every other month.

Right and thats why he had a fan based, after they started the "lost of his arm" situation, not only did the character go down hill it went majorly, majorly into: "Anyone else would have killed him by now." I mean Anspaugh demoted him big time, all the new staff members basically were smacking him or yelling at how much of a troll he was. They didn't care about "who he used to be" only what he was doing now. Granted, it was also due to the fact he lost his status both as a doctor and lost his abilities as skilled surgeon. However, it got down to: "Holy crap, if he would have been pulling this during your glory days you would have lost your license." Another thing was post Romono and Peter. The surgical department just got... odd. I loved Lucius, but all the other morons including the crap that Leela put up with when she got up there was just odd. You have the "not Romono" guy who everyone said he was this "great surgeon" was really just a small man personality wise and acted like a high schooler. Yes, he saved Leela's life after she got trampled on, but he was a bad teacher, he called people stupid and then never showed them how to be better. Then he was acting like he was God's gift to women when Sara Gilbert's character came on the show. When honestly, she wore the pants in that relationship and he was just happy he was finally getting laid. It was just dumb.

How true, one my neighbors who is in the age range, didn't get his much needed knee surgery until late May. He was suppose to have it in March and also a root canal in April because those surgeries couldn't be put on top of each other. His root was pushed to Early April and the surgery for his knee was back on just after Memorial Day. It was getting bad for him, but he said himself: "I rather have to eat soft foods and walk crooked instead of dead." My wife who has epilepsy is looking at a brain surgery, but it's being set for specific dates due to COVID. Of course you still have doctors who are well known spotting off that COVID is just bad flu and you should just get it and go. It's a crazy world we live in.

Not to mention, no one really knows what happened. Even in the moments of flashbacks, it showed Eddie trying to help her, and after the entire talk to Eddie from Alex's sister that the parents were in such poor health. Magically, the dad is traveling hours by a beat up truck, stalking Eddie, and now going to try and drown him. It doesn't fit with a person in "bad health" unless he is having dementia or emotional depression. I mean it's true, parents truly never get over the death of a child no matter if it was a still born or died barely out of their teens. But this? I mean even the sister brought all this crap up really out of nowhere. Because you know, she could. She didn't see Alex's sister or parents out of the blue. Hell, Eddie going to the cabin last season, apparently no one has visited the place in a while, it's just kept in upkeep situation. Katherine even pointed out they hadn't been there since Theo was a baby. Everything just seems out of the blue. It would have been one thing if the stress on Eddie from the affair and things with Charlie would have started making him revisit his life. THEN bring in the old nightmares of Alex dying, then it would have made more sense for the story. instead it was: "Well, everyone is over the death of Jon and the Love Child, we need a super crazy mystery that will make less sense than plots on Big Sky or Lost."

Right, the stuff Romano did as opposed to society now. He would have been kicked to the curb or been isolated to have almost rare contact with any women if he had this documented history. Kind of like in education, back in the day when ER was on, a teacher would pat a kid on the back for doing a good job or make a comment about an inapproiate outfit and it was either a smile because they did a good job or that they realized they couldn't really express their thought process. Now, you do anything like that, you are caught in a lawsuit or a parent/guardian doing everything to get the person fired.

Should have been: "Parents these Days" instead of "Kids these days". Honestly, Cooper, Oliver and Taylor were reacting to things pretty normally. Though Oliver trying to hide the medicine was just plain stupid, as he acted like he had bottles of the stuff, not a couple of pills. For Greg and Katie, it proved some backwards thinking with a lot of parents these days. Katie is upset that so many kids are just "snowflakes" or need to get hurt to really learn and grow as people. Yet, Greg keeps thinking he can fight the "bullies" because you know a pinoneer gave his horse water. He doesn't add in: "If he wouldn't have stopped to help his horse, he would never have made it to point A, these soldiers wouldn't have been able to do B and that could have lead to some bad things for the revolution." Instead it's: I know no one has cared and people have just peed there, but dammit I care, why don't you!" Followed by: "Big business dumb ass!"

The problem was Romano, he was a grand example of a someone in charge that did some serious crap to his employees. There were people above him and they just let him keep on doing it. I mean until the helicopter chopping off his arm, no one did SHIT to the crap he pulled off at times. He was a fan favorite for a long time, he showed many times of heart with Lucy and even how much he loved his dog, even though NO ONE wanted to be associated with him outside of the job and even then it was ONLY if his expertise was NEEDED. After he lost his arm and went into: "I fucking hate everyone no matter what!" That's when everyone was like: "You know, now that you are no longer a GRAND surgeon, you are really crap, so get out!" I mean Kerri took over his job, Anspaugh tried to reason with him his life wasn't over, but once Romano started screwing up because he hated everything to the point where everyone from Sam to Lucius were smacking him with: "You can't do this crap anymore and we are tired of it!" It was the cartoon stupidity of him being killed off by the flaming falling helicopter that was just stupid way to finish him off. Plus, the fact he died catching Morris smoking pot just outside the ER. I mean the fact that NO ONE saw Romano go outside to where the helicopter landed or the fact that Morris was just sitting there going: "Um... he told me to wait, huh the place is on fire?" Shows how the writing on the show not only went down the drain, but the writers were basically getting rid of characters they "couldn't write anymore" and trying to prompt up characters that audiences really didn't care about.

Yep and as I mentioned above. Dan finally got a really good job with benefits and a pension, then blew it all to take his family to Disney World and take the prison job with Chuck.

They also should bring back the fact that Dan DID have a good job over twenty years ago that would have gotten him a pension. However, he was a: "act first and don't think about it later". With using his pension to take the family to Disney World or the fact he quit to take the prison job with Chuck because it was going to pay out double he made in a year. BUT... it was a ONE TIME PAYOUT! He should have done that on the side and kept his city job. He could have also hinted that things were going great between his work in the late 90s and the Lunchbox so he didn't worry about anything. Instead he constantly kept taking out loans, doing dumbass ideas with Jackie and Rosanne and every time they got money they just blew it because... you know they could! That be the cold hard lesson in everything also would make Ben go: "Oh shit, I'm you!"

Yep, he did it to Doug, he did it to Luka and of course he did it to Ghant too. At least when his nephew died and Muluchi screwed up thinking he was just another gang banger. That at least made sense, of course sadly his nephew got mixed up with a girl who was in a gang and pretty much would be gunning for anyone associated with the gang even if they weren't "part of" the gang.

Yep, or they say: "I can't really discuss the person's performance." I had that happened to me, so I stopped putting the place on my applications. AMAZING how fast I got return calls.

What I was saying and how the city council guy was: "Thank you for your service!" WTF? It was pretty much revealed he lied and did some under handed stuff. Even Dixon said: "Claims were sent, charges was dropped, but I had to resign from my position." Which translate to: "Yeah, I did some illegal shit, but I know where the bodies are buried." Then his talk about Sullivan black mailing Travis, was also major crap. In fact, when Travis revealed that they hadn't spoke and pretty much NO ONE KNEW about Dixon becoming a District Manager even rang bigger. Fire Department and Police Department communicate to make sure people know when there is a change in Chain of Command so Station Captains and chiefs can coordinate not to mention, MEET THEM. Hell, the committee could have brought back out Travis and asked him: "Did Sullivan black mail you at anytime as you said: "Keep it in the family?". But nah... just let it go, Dixon was SO OUT STANDING? Bullshit!

I remember years ago on ER when there was a patient who was misdiagnosed by Luka because he was unaware of a type of infection that hits black/latino pops more commonly due to living situations. Peter tears into Luka who keeps going: "I have never seen that and I was unaware of this, why are you thinking other wise?" Pretty much Peter was: "This is a black man and you should know better." It was put down quickly as a race thing and honestly, that's what happened with Owen here. It was based on ignorance on the situation. Kim and the other doctor were: "You should have known better dumbass you are just racist on Asian people!"

Oh I agree, it's like on The Connors. They talked about the masks constantly, then show people doing everything you "shouldn't do". Then they half ass right the protests in, once again, talking about the "horrors if you don't wear your mask" and then have the characters do the the complete opposite. It's also like in Dre's office, you see people standing apart, but no one has a mask on, even the extras. Sad to think that the shows that have depicted COVID in a more realistic approach has been Grey's and Station 19 and current game shows.

Make sense if it's Koracick, his life hasn't started to turn to shit enough. I mean, that is grounds for more pain and reality smacking him. For Teddy? What next? She cheated on her boyfriends back in high school and medical school? Just to show she can't stop cheating.

It's almost a Norman Bates vibe from him. Yeah, these guys have some issue with women, but to a point where they should just kill them and start over. They are more of: "oh um... you get back in there and think of what you did." Yet, a guy is: "Hey, buddy I see you have a flat tire, can I help you." They turn around and shoot them six time and then go: "No thanks." and move on.

Exactly and that line made me go: "Oh, were you the mayor's brother who killed that family of 5 or something?" Hell, when Dixon was going into how Pruitt died you wanted to go: "That's right, spin the fact you lost another person who knew your dirty little secrets." What are we going to see next? Them trading money at " 6 ft away" and get caught again? His position also doesn't make sense. If anything he would have been turned into a district manager. Basically, keep him in one spot, he gets paid, he doesn't bother anyone and everyone else keeps the secrets he has. Oh no, they basically put him up as: "Oh, so you have a good chance if there is a major disaster to tell Station 19 to let people die and no one will bat an eye." We've move into Super Villain territory on Station 19.

When I did yoga classes about 15 years ago. The women there kept wearing thongs and were always in the front. We were trying to do the exercising and us in the back rows were always getting more of a show. Then they turn to us and go: "Stop looking at my ass." One guy finally replied: "Then stop wearing floss and we won't!"

Yeah, such a bunch of great people. Yet were suppose to LOVE THEM according to AS-P and her husband. 🤮

Don't forget using a girl to make Rory jealous so Dean would break up with her. Then add in all his skipping school, then telling the principal he was wrong. Convincing the Walmart manager he was good and true and "didn't have to worry about school" because it was "Mickey Mouse Stuff". Jess at times really lived in a different reality and when things went wrong, people jumped on him like was a demon spawn, but then again. Look how he reacted or DID things. Being a book reader did not make him "endearing" as the Ps tried to make him out as.

That looks like the plan, IF they get a second season. Right now it's pretty obvious with dumb and dumber, they somehow got involved with this ring (how a state cop and a truck driver get involved with human trafficking who are this dim) and yet so happy to kill whoever gets in their way. Act like if these women get away it's: "Oh we so dead, we going to end up in acid spring like fisherman". I mean then what? The show would be about trying to escape and bring down the traffic ring? Ryan Philipe died for this? I think he needs a new agent.
