Duntsch meets his mentor; Henderson and Kirby explore the medical system.

The opening scene with Christian Slater explaining what had happened to the patient was horrifying. When she finally tried to respond and he revealed that Duntsch had cut her vocal cords, something they couldn't fix, it was a real gut punch.

Slater and Alec Baldwin make for an entertaining odd couple. I wish they had more scenes with Kelsey Grammer, but maybe he'll come back in a later episode.

And even though I'm not as down on Jamie Dornan as I was before Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar, I'm glad Joshua Jackson ended up in the lead role. His Duntsch is slippery and arrogant but also pathetic and occasionally even charming.

After watching Alex in 30 Rock and on SNL, it's strange to see him play a person with no discernable sense of humour. He makes a great foil for Christian Slater.

My Mom continues to yell at the tv “his hands are bad!…..is he on drugs????”

 

Seems he lost his DL and that’s why his ex wife (or separated) was driving him around?

I also wondered if he had dyslexia. He seemed to have difficulty distinguishing right from left since his football days....

Wow, his football friend aged very poorly.
