[chitowngirl]

Dr. Wolf and the team perform their most experimental treatment yet: a brain-computer interface implantation in their John Doe patient's brain.

This episode aired in Canada last week - it's surprising, exquisitely sad, moving and beautiful - and actor Alex Ozerov-Meyer (who plays John Doe/Roman) is amazing. Don't miss it.

He was amazing.  Very well acted episode.

 

how long was he in the non responsive state since the stroke?

This was an incredibly sad episode.

This episode was beautiful. Holy cow…

I was pleasantly surprised by the reveal of John Doe’s story, despite its sad ending. The patient was a solid actor and along with the actor playing his boyfriend, they really sold the hope and grief of their love. The scene where they reunite, with Wolf and Nichols watching in the background, was really well done. It was clear that Wolf could relate to Roman and badly wanted him to be able to live the life he’d dreamed of, but the story never became about Wolf and his angst, like it so easily could’ve been. He did his due diligence but respected his patient’s wishes and that surprised me, because medical dramas hardly let patients die on their terms. There’s always a miracle cure or family member who insists they live for them. 

I also liked the that Wolf took a chance and went for it with Nichols. I thought they’d go the slow burn route with them (and they still might depending on Nichols’ reaction next week) but they’ve got great chemistry and already balance each other out pretty well. 

I’m not as into the budding intern romances. I like the friendly group dynamic but if I had to pick I’d go with Van over the jock because the latter is  arrogant and seems more into himself than anyone else.

How long was he in a non responsive state?  I didn’t get the timeline was it years?

I'm sick and tired of seeing stories about disabled people where it's all about how beautiful it is for us to die.

I don't think they every specifically said, they just kept referring to it being a long time.

I think this was the best ep yet. It was sad and beautiful. I loved when the one doctor (psychiatrist?) said something like, "We gave him his voice, so we should let him use it."

My one complaint is that the team didn't tell the guy in charge of this experimental treatment that Roman decided to die. I don't think they needed his permission, but a heads-up would have been nice.
