I'm on board. This show is more E.R. than Grey's and I'm 110% grateful for that.

Dr. Robby is like a worn out Carter in his 50's, but NW is doing a decent job and I don't really see Carter - who was way more joyful even in the bad moments. I wonder if his name was shortened to avoid some sort of prejudice, or it was simply a matter of being easy.

So far I like all the characters except bitchy Med student (Santos) and the one whose mom is a surgeon (Javadi). Santos is horrible, the whole passive agressive thing got old really fast and the 'that's my way of coping my insecurities' is utter bullshit. She is just plain rude and arrogant and I'm sure that we'll see her screwing blady soon. And Javadi needs do grow a spine and stop being noisy. 

I like the medical cases, I like interactions with the nurses (very ER), and I specially liked the way Robby talked to the two families - the parentes of the boy who overdosed and the child of the elderly patient. He was also great with Whitaker and the sister of the veteran.

One detail I really liked is how it enforced that all of them could talk to the social worker. It shows, at least for me, that they are stressing how mental health is important.

On that note, can we make a bet about when Robby is goint to have a meltdown/loose his mind? My guess is episode 8.

These episodes seem to go by really fast. I'm amazed 52 minutes are already up. Another good episode. I'm more concerned about Dr. Robby peeing himself rather than having a nervous breakdown.  I don't see a breakdown happening only because this is a normal day in an ED.

I'm really over that one med student that lacks respect for everyone else. She doesn't even interest me, I just want her gone.

Things could have gone a lot worse for the girl that accidentally OD'd and the dad. Glad he seemed to calm down pretty quickly.

I still don't know anyone's name except Dr. Robby. Why does that lady keep calling him fruitcake? Is it because the character is supposed to be gay? Or is it just that she propositioned him and he turned her down? Probably the latter, but who knows.

I'm glad he finally talked the daughter into removing the breathing tube. What a horrible situation. I keep expecting the brain dead kid to miraculously recover but I guess it's not that kind of show. Which I can appreciate. 

The scene where they were removing the nail from the heart was a bit more graphic than I can handle.

I think that's kind of the fun thing about this show is that the characters don't necessarily have secrets but because they're just living their life, there are things that are secret from us. 

Either explanation as to why she calls him fruitcake will work.

Weirdly, after a couple of seasons I'm still vague on the Grey's Anatomy newish interns' names (even though I like them and the actors playing them), but I've got some of The Pitt names down pat. (I think.)

I kind of appreciate that no one's calling anyone "The Sun"  on The Pitt.

That was so hard to watch and I was so frustrated but the whole show so far has been 3hrs. So really…

That one was fine for me but the Nepalese woman’s crushed foot…. No. Hard no. 
 

names I think I know

Robby=not Carter 

Dr Collins=pregnant

Whittaker=dead patient newbie doc.

McKay=Dr LoJack

Javadi=NepoDoc/Crash

Santos=sociallyassydoc.

I realize I'm on an island but I like Santos. And being an introvert she would destroy me. But I still like her. I get her. And in my own defense,  the autistic doctor wants to be her friend as well. Lol  And in her own abrasive way Santos does help the others. As she pointed out to Whitaker the guy's death wasn't his fault and though it sucks, it will be way worse when it is. 

The one that I think is trouble is Javadi. I get the impression she maybe doesn't want to be a doctor but mom is pushing her. There's something up with her. I don't trust her. She's hiding something. I didn't buy her explanation on why she wanted to know more about Dr. McKay.

You could go with ER where Luka told Abby during a fight that she acted like she could have any man, but she wasn't "that pretty or that special." 

As a secondary note, it took me a moment to realize it, but brain dead teen's mother is the actress who played the doctor at the hospital where Derek died, later came to Grey Sloan for work and, of course, ended up working under Meredith.

I just presume there's really no rhyme or reason to her comments, and she just says things that she thinks will get her attention.  It sounds like Dr. Robby has reacted to her in the past when she calls him that, so she keeps it up.

Sure but she chose '[homophobic epithet]*' as an alternative so there's definitely a theme to her insults. The thing we don't know yet is whether it's because he doesn't want to look at her vagina or if he actually is gay.

*That edit was the board's software.  It rhymes with lock mucker.

It's weird to me that fruitcake is a homophobic slur now, growing up it meant someone that was crazy. Calling someone a fruit was definitely a homophobic slur but fruitcake meant something different

Fruit and fruity is probably more common but fruitcake has also been a gay slur for almost 100 years.  It likely originated because homosexuality was seen as a mental illness.

That is very interesting to me because I've never heard it used as such before 

 Anytime she called him fruitcake i just assumed she was calling him crazy

Not that you're asking for proof, but here's the Wikipedia entry related to the slang versions of fruit and fruit-related insults.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_(slang)

But you are right in that it has been used for crazy and isn't as common as probably fruit or fruity.  I think the 'alternative' epithet she chose is what made me think she was insulting his sexuality.

But we're only on Hour 3 so time will tell.

I agree. Back in my day (more than a few years ago), the term "nuttier than a fruitcake" meant that someone was crazy.

I doubt that Santos is calling Dr. Robby fruitcake as an insult, if only because he is her boss and could make her life very difficult.  Maybe he confessed a love for fruitcake in the past, or handed one out as a Secret Santa gift.  Let's wait and find out.

It's the patient Vera (or some such?  The older lady in the wheelchair) that is calling Dr Robby fruitcake.  I don't think that Santos has called him any names as yet.
