I agree, Happy Harpy. I watched Code Black from the beginning. I liked it okay, esp. Leanne's character and watching Raza Jaffery is always a delight of course, but after a few episodes Neal and Christa are what really got me invested and made it must watch TV for me.
I am so with you!
in any case for the most part the relationship drama on this show only takes a small part of the screen time each episode even though they write it in the synopsis of the episode, at least till now .
You mean married, as in currently married? Goodness, that didn't even cross my mind. I can say right now if they take it that far, make Neal a married man this whole time, I will be done. Edited by Carolinagirl1028-

That's exactly what I was thinking of when I read your post.
The only way I can like this storyline is if
Pinch me, is TVLine promoting Code Black? They usually treat the show like an afterthought (although the constant reference to the Grace actress is beginning to get on my nerves.)

Meagan Good Is an Ex Wanting Answers in Tense 'Code Black' Sneak Peek
Keep Neal this way and I won't riot. "There is no us"? Oh, that was sweet to hear. (I hope it isn't a red herring, please, please, please!)
And I'm a bit less worried about Christa's characterization.
I should keep calm and watch Code Black, I guess :)

Code Black seems to be getting more and more media attention. I am hoping this means good things. I was very excited to see the commercial during the Super Bowl. I know CBS didn't technically have to pay for those spots since they aired the Super Bowl but that means they gave up some serious revenue to promote Code Black. I am hoping that is a good sign.

I really liked that line as well. He seems to be standing firm in his relationship with Christa. I have to say the fact that he has an ex isn't the problem no matter how involved they were, I mean Christa has an ex husband she had a son with, but the dramatic episode descriptions and having the fact that Grace is Neal's ex constantly thrown in our faces is where I become concerned.

I have a love/hate relationship with Grey's Anatomy. I raged quit for 5 or 6 years, and then I came back and I still like it very much but I'm not as passionate about the show as I used to be.
To play the devil's advocate, the description for episode 15 promised flowers and unicorns and it was all about angst instead. So I hope it's the opposite here, and the promo people are trying to hype in Grey's Anatomy's dramatic style something that isn't like it at all (read: better and more adult).

Thanks for posting! I feel like we have more previews than normal going into this episode.
After seeing this preview I am quite surprised Campbell asks Grace out next episode. It doesn't seem like they would get along very well or at all.

I really hope this is not the obstacle, I was kind of hoping for some different drama because Neal and Christa are older and more mature, they are kind of past petty jealousy, and school girl stuff. We shall see.

Seems like the description is inaccurate, maybe they made a mistake and some of it is for the next episode ? or they cut the a scene ?
I noticed long ago that the descriptions do not have nothing to do with episodes. Additionally, there are exaggerated and begin to get on my nerves.
Furthermore extended description was taken from CBS. It turns out that descriptions were written a log ago and episodes have been adjusted to the current situation.
What does not surprise me .. because looking at the description and what could happen in episodes probably the rating could go down.

.
Yes, very awkward and definitely passive aggressive, at least as far as Grace goes. I want to give the character a chance but they aren't making it very easy. I am not quite sure what business it is of hers if Neal has texted Christa or not, or why she even feels the need to ask, but honestly Christa handled that whole thing way better than I would have. Its obvious she isn't over Neal, but he has moved on. If she can't handle facing that day in and day out without sly comments than she needs to remove herself from the situation.
On a positive note, this is a wonderful article about Code Black. Glad to see the show getting more and more positive press.

Extended promo for Bloodsport, season finale.
http://www.spoilersguide.com/code-black/episode-18-blood-sport-extended-promo/
I still have this stinky feeling that the season is going to end on cliffhangers on every front.
[whiny petty mode]Too many shots of Grace compared to long-standing characters. Or maybe I'm just developping an allergy to the mere sight of her.[/whiny petty mode]
Meagan Good is 7 years younger than Bonnie Somerville ( who at 41 would be considered middle-aged). I think they are trying to save the show
by bringing in and focusing on younger actors; and sudsing up the story lines to bring in younger viewers. If they get a second season, and continue
on that path, I wont be watching.

An yet, in spite of its younger cast, Minority Report was the first cancellation of the season IIRC.
Ironically, the show was doing great/better than now in December, with its original recipe and "old" cast, including in demo, before the shake-up.
I hate ageism and I hate when younger viewers are underestimated. It isn't because you're young that you automatically like crap.

Ironically, I was one of the three people that liked Minority Report.
But most advertisers are still looking at the 18 to 49 demographics.
I feel like all they'd want me for is to talk my children and grand children into watching.
there is a sneak preview towards min 9:00.
Looks actually interesting I hope the whole episode will be this way and I hope this episode will be the end of the triangles and other relation shapes.

I hope so. But I feel the potential for more crap (Neal has to choose between Christa's patient or Grace's patient, and it gets personal). Sorry, I wish I could be optimistic.
Edit: I went to the official Twitter account to check if there were more clues, and I saw that last week they launched a "TeamChrista" vs "TeamGrace" bullshit. They're actively going the catfight/triangle road. My hopes for an adult and balanced storyline are nearing zero right now

I'm a little more optimistic since they had Campbell ask grace out, I think that is the writers exist plan for grace from the triangle, and from the beginning they were planing of having a lot more angst and they toned it down.
If you want to look for more clues check out Somerville's twitter account
It still could be wishful thinking on my part.

I like your wishful thinking!
I think that they toned the pure angst down. But when they use a medical case to make Christa look bad and Grace look good, it's more difficult to cut imo. It's what I'm afraid of. Christa wanting to be the best doctor possible was one of my favorite aspect of her character and I don't want it destroyed.
I wanted to write about it about you were first. Bonnie Somerville wrote something interesting about Christa in last Wednsday
Thanks for the precision! I didn't find anything detailed, though (I don't use Twitter so maybe I didn't look at the right place).

Thanks! I hope it isn't just lip service.
(I'm going to take a pill against being a Debbie Downer, I swear. Or watch any Neal/Christa scene until episode 14, it should make the same effect).

I really, really hope they don't make the situation into a Christa's patient versus Grace's patient situation. If they focus on the medicine of it, I have no problem with it as these disagreements happen when two critical patients both need care. But turning this into a dilemma for Neal based on his feelings (or hopefully in one instance lack there of) for either woman not only brings about so many ethical violations of patient care but will also absolutely ruin all three characters, Neal's in particular.

You nailed it. I am at the perfect viewing age for the 18-49 demo, but I am barely tolerating the crap they are feeding us each week. The problem, well one of many, I believe is this show is trying so hard to pull in viewers so they can get renewed they don't even see the show is suffering as a result. They have thrown almost every possibly story line out there to amp up the drama, when it wasn't needed. Take the triangle for instance. I hate triangles, with a passion, they are way overdone and often pointless. However, in the instance of Neal/Christa, not only is the triangle the problem but the accelerated story line is an even bigger one. I am sorry but the writers have yet to actually show us a relationship. All we have gotten is some rushed relationship disclosure form, followed immediately by his ex coming on board. Its that way with almost every story line. It is ruining the credibility of the show. The only thing the last few episodes have accomplished for me personally, is at the rate its going I will honestly be a little less upset should it not get renewed. Which is a very bittersweet silver lining.
On the bright side, is it just me or does it appear CBS is putting forth more effort in its promotion of Code Black? They are Including good press snippets in the promo as well as they seem to be airing the promo more often. I guess it could be due to the fact that its the season finale but I am hoping its that they are putting a little more faith in it.

It is encouraging, but I think the renewal will depend in the end on how rush hour does in the rating and if CBS decides to pick up the 2 medical pilots (although I think it unlikely ).

Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo nominations for the GoldenNymph was announced.
