Need to watch this again.  I wasn’t as pulled in as I was on other episodes.  Can’t wait to read what all everyone has to say. 
 

ETA. Watched it now. Still a lot of interruptions.   Yep .. got pulled in on the Dana/panic attack stuff as well as Van.  Also wonder how they will do John Doe’s microchip.

The looks-to-me-like-the-love-interest neurosurgeon wasn't in this episode. But they gave Wolf a love interest from the school. I hope this doesn't mean a triangle down the road. Also, they keep teasing us about Wolf's childhood trauma, with the flashbacks and now his "unavailability". I agree that Quinto isn't a very good actor. he looks surprised all the time, whether it's lust, fear, shock, or anything else. 

The residents (or are they interns? or??) working under him also seem to all have trauma. I guess this is a thing now, that most shows want traumatized leads. At least they aren't all mopey on this show. And they are willing to light the sets, not shoot everyting as though electricity was never invented and all of life takes place at night or in a dungeon somewhere.

I liked that they wrote a case of solidarity rather than conflict for the case of the week, but I didn't really think they explained why they were lying to them about the delusion most of the episode.

I think Quinto is a pretty good actor, but he's being asked to do a million things at once, and not all of them make sense.

Made sense to me…the professionals and the interns all agreed that to make the outright claim of falsity (with undeniable proof) to the girls would be akin to slapping them in the face and telling them to snap out of it. They could very well spiral toward a group suicide pact. Instead, they decided to join with the group, becoming accepted members and gently lead them to the truth.

I know it’s not a date, or whatever, but, cookie, that ain’t a square jaw. Kind eyes, sure. 

So far Dr. Empath — “mirror-touch synesthesia,” sure, fine, whatever — is the most interesting character to me. But Dr. Spiky Future Love Interest has potential, as does Dr. Anxiety. 

ETA: He brought you bagels, man. Come on!

Eh, from how they depicted his face blindness in the pilot, he's lucky to have seen a shape!

Also, uhh, what EEG is two leads on the temples?

I want more info on Dr. Looks-Like-Jasika-Nicole

Wishful thinking about the non-date? Hee.
