>robby "I have no life outside this ED"
Really? He seems to have a regular dating life and was a good stepdad to jake. Langdon says he has a cool bachelor pad. Duke is very good friends with him. Abbot knows him super well and he's his emergency contact. He's into motorcycle culture. He doesn't seem like the loser he makes himself out to be.

>>219806574
I think this season really proves that you can't do character development like people write it on most shows with the Pitt's format. This season mostly sucks because compared to doing actual medicine so much screen time is dedicated to everyone being a wreck and having personal shit, but then since it's still one shift they can't get explicit payoff for stuff like Robby getting talked out of suicide or Mohan and her mommy issues and the rest and have to resort to symbolic scenes like Robby and the baby.

>>219806906
Yeah it was pretty good and it showed off the based Night Shift. (Night shifters are smarter and more self-assured than normies).

But it won't make up for the rest of the fucking trash.

Yeah I'm glad we got it but we should have been getting segments like this every episode, not once as a nice sendoff.

He has no greater purpose, nothing actually important to him besides saving lives at the ED. A nice bachelor pad is not a reason to be happy at 50 something
>>
was that sexual tension between santos and mel?
>>
>>219807086
the purpose of...having kids? is that the point of this season?
>>
Season 1 felt like more happened. Santos had way more wins and got Langdon dismissed, now all she does is complain. We had the school shooter, the Pittfest shooting, Robby's meltdown, the birth of Huckleberry's nickname, everyone got a full proper crashout.

This season we get... Al Sashimi and her 10 second silent seizures, the TV's turning off and Asian lady remembering all the names on the board, uh... Langdon teasing he is going to kill himself for 12 episodes just to cry that being a doctor is le hard. Oh and the ICE storyline which goes nowhere at all (the nurse has been forgotten about entirely)

First season felt the format fit the story they were telling, this season the plot felt more like a slower typical streaming drama with cheap cliffhangers at the end of every episode
>>
>>219807097
yea. they know the mentally unstable femcels who watch this show are going to run with it
>>
>>219807099
Yeah, man. You're told all your life that by a certain age you should have a family, a house, all that. Robby doesn't. He's a creature of the ED, shaped by it as much as he's shaped it. He doesn't take vacations and the only reason he's taking one now is because he wants to kill himself.
>>
>>219807123
*I meant Robby not Langdon

Hashimi's goal was to take over the ED. Why did she fuck it up by telling Robby in the last hour? lol

>>219807123
Quick question, but did you watch all of S1 week-by-week or in a batch? Because I watched it in a batch and that definitely skews the way I'm thinking about it.

>>219807165
I watched the first 5 eps in a batch but the rest week by week and I still felt S1 was more of a "substantial" season even watching it the normal way.

S1 leaned into the fact that it was basically a soap opera but with HBO budget. Every patient had a 0.01% twist diagnosis or some shit, everyone either wants to fuck each other or kill each other, the biggest event a city's history just happens on everybody's first day, etc. They dialed up everything to 11 at all times.

Season 2 felt like the hangover of season 1. It still had its moments but they had to up the intensity and it felt more abated. Not a bad season though, the conflicts just weren't as exciting.

and this is a bad thing?
>>
>>219807399
it's corny because it's contrived, it's contrived because the writers/director are afraid audiences could miss it.
It'd work better if it lasted barely a few frames.
Also it should have been the baby being the new light for robby. These leftoid writers are so fucking clueless with their messaging.

Since the "HBO production, CW fanbase" characterization for the audience obviously seems correct (just look on twitter), let's recap the supernatural theories from last thread.

>Shark
> head vampire of Pittsburgh, everyone is terrified of his power. Garcia is his thrall.
>Abbot
> Got bitten in the Middle East and is a Daywalker. Part of the reason there's tension between the ED and Surgery is that the aristocratic and powerful Shark only allows superior specimens to take the dark gift, but Abbot is from a different bloodline and selects his Night Stalkers based on competency and vibes.
>Matteo
> Turned by Abbot a few months ago, hence his new vampire look and superior attitude
>Mohan
> Being slowly seduced by Abbot, she's off and woozy this season due to the blood loss.
>Langdon
> He was suggested to join Shark's coven by Garcia, but Robby found out and stopped the process, Langdon is half-vampire and dealing with his growing need for blood.
>Robby
> Part of his breakdown is over his helplessness in the face of the growing supernatural threat in the Pitt. if anything but mortal, Robby is a demon.
>Duke
> Vampire-hunter that Robby found and convinced to come into the ED in the hopes he'd notice the curse.
> Whitaker
> is the phantom of the third floor or whatever. He's a fellow denizen of the night but he doesn't possess the dark gift.
>Al-Hashimi
> is cursed, the bomb that hit her hospital in the Middle East disturbed a wrathful spirit. It's why Robby wants rid of her, he sensed it, and why Abbot was interested, he picked up the dark energy around her.
>Ogilvie
> Changeling
>McKay
> Was a succubus but was exorcised and imprisoned, she's cured now, but the old urges remain. It's why she's dick-hungry and was sucking the life out of that woman all season.
> Joy
> is a kuei-jin

Is it Joanna Robinson? I'm not listening to this one but I listened to the Succcesion podcasts and she spends the whole time trying to will her headcanon into existence about how Shiv Roy is the most morally upstanding character on the show and how she'll win in the end .

She is well known on the subreddits for being a cartoonish 2010s liberal feminist. She recently did a Knight if the Seven Kingdoms podcast where she was cheering for that whore baby trapping the Green Apple Fossaway guy with another man's baby. She is literally an insane liberal.
>>
>>219808378
yea it is Joanna. That's crazy I didn't know she was that bad. I listened to most of the season 2 pitt episodes. I know her boss Mallory Rubin better although I don't touch the star wars shit she does.

>>219808572
They realized they botched her character by making her shittalk her ED coworkers to Whitaker. Robby even gave her arguably the best line of the season doing that surgery with Shamsi where he says "Dr. Javadi, why don't you glove up and show Dr. Shamsi why you belong in this ED?" But nah, she reaffirms her mother's scrutiny by saying if you stay in the ED you become a headcase retard.

Robby is a genuine workaholic and would never retire on principle. You meet people with that same sort of savior complex IRL who are so fixated on work that they willingly put themselves through hell until they keel over. My grandfather never retired and kept working 5 days a week till he died at 77 from a heart attack.

Has there ever been a case of blatant medical malpratice in this series? I think it's unrealistic that every operation the doctors perform ends up working and if they don't save a patient it's because they had no chance of surviving anyway.

>>219809017
I liked it, it's good in a vacuum, despite being an obvious step down and disappointment compared to season 1.
It might have a problem where, in hindsight, no one can really think of what the main theme or defining big event of this season was. Whereas for season 1 it's the Pittfest shooting.
>oh no, a ransomware attack which caused the day crew to have to stay late and be tired, but which had little to no effect on their ability to treat patients
>>
>>219809165
Why do you retards insist it has to follow a template like season 1?
>>
>>219809180
It doesn't have to follow a template, but the fact remains those last 4 episodes of season 1 are gripping and rewatchable in a way that nothing in season 2 is.
It wouldn't have been following a template if, as many expected, this season had ended with a big dramatic Robby suicide attempt... which could have been remembered as the theme of the season but also didn't happen
>>
why do ED doctors have to chart? shouldn't that be for the upstairs cattle? i pop the chest tube in and go.
>>
In some regards the format of the show i.e let's follow a day shift from start to finish makes it difficult to mesh with a traditional TV show season where the audience expects a 'big climax'.

Obviously in S1 we had the Pittfest incident but then going forward if you're writing the show you can't really have every season have a big inciting incient bang on three quarters of the way into every season because then it becomes a bit hokey. Like if the audience expects that to happen every time.

But at the same time you can't have a whole season of a slow shift where nothing happens because that's boring to watch. I'm not entirely sure what the solution is. You could have a season where the Big Thing™ happens first and then you're trying to milk that and the fallout from it for the rest of the season but in a sense that's what they attempted with S2's cyber shutdown. I don't know where they go from here.

How about... it's a scenario where they're dealing with the start of a new pandemic, something comparable to the viruses in Contagion or Station Eleven.
Robby has to figure out how to handle it without letting his covid PTSD completely cripple him

they look like oversized toddlers. seriously why is it impossible for this show to cast beautiful women and handsome men?

The day shift descends into darkness (chaos) making each episode in theory more tense than the last
The night shift would start getting brighter in the last few episodes. It's not like it can't be done, just the day shift better depicts the descent to madness type more intuitively I think

I'm not watching season 3, what an absolutely awful season. I don't want to sound like a chud but the left leaning shit was way way too much, even season 1 had a lot but at least the show was entertaining but this time it was just bad
>>
>>219810210
Did you see him act on some other show and he was dogshit there or something? Because so far on this show, he's just doing one register, he's flat and unfazed. He does that alright, but you don't really need to be a good actor to do it. If they keep him just doing that and being an exposition delivery vehicle, he will be OK but a boring character. I'm personally OK with that because I watch the show for the medicine and not the character drama, but I guess if you want the character drama then that sucks.
>>
Am I the only one who liked the character writing here a lot more?
I feel like doctors were allowed to disagree with eachother, and the show forced our hand a lot less. Santos gets to actually look bad which Season 1 refused to let ever happen, and there was way less,
"I say the thing, that the writer clearly believes" and no one reacting at all to it.

What I didn't like, was the lack of screentime for some characters. Why does Existtaker get almost nothing while Cancer McGee gets a gorillian episodes? Why do we just drop certain paitents and their storylines, like the asian couple?
Overall though I think that Season 2 had a stronger first 2/3rds for me, but Season 1 definitely had the stronger last 1/3rd.
>>
>>219810580
I'll admit I'm probably more liberal than a lot of people on 4chan (americans IRL tell me I sound like how their liberals sounded in the late 00s/early 10s), but it seems ridiculous to me that not even here can I escape this sort of ideological purity-testing discourse. Wasn't doing this - counting "representation" character per character and line by line - precisely what leftists were being ridiculed for?
>>
>>219810792
I don't believe him as a character. Every scene he's in I feel like I'm watching an actor reel off memorised lines. He takes me out of every scene he's in.
>>
>>219810878

Robby wanting to end things because of dying patients seems very weird for someone this late in their career. I feel that he would have compartmentalized or to come to terms with it especially after the Coof.

Opinion: They need to lean into the soapiness or something to keep me engaged.
I don't care about patients beyond a certain point
I wanna see drama between the main cast... like I know it's absurd but let me see Landon's family.
I wanna see Mckay going on a date
Whitaker and santos laughing at a movie while living together etc

But it's a chance my beef is just with the format of the show and all this stuff is impossible to do.
>>
>>219811197
We get ONE medical show where it keeps the shit in the hospital and you want it to become Grey's Anatomy
>>
Earlier in the season Robby specifically tells Whitaker he disapproves of Whitaker giving so much of his time and energy to some dead guy's wife and kid. Then we end Whitaker's S2 with him getting into the widow's truck with her wife and kid after a 15 hour shift so he can drive back to her farm and shovel shit for another 8 hours, presumably while she gets fucked by another man, and Robby's response is to look on, smirk lovingly and remark to himself "heh, that's my boy".

What's the message here?
>>
>>219810967
I think Hollywood people tend to underestimate how emotionally detached people outside of their bubble are. Partially because they are all from California and the very lefty part of it (culture values being vulnerable etc), partially because they are actors and they have to be always thinking about emotional states and inner lives of characters.
>>
>>219811299
>presumably while she gets fucked by another man
Whitaker is smashing that
>>
Just found the thread. Who are /ourguys/?

Not quite. I more just want another ER. There can be a balance.
But again, kinda hard to change the format at this point.

They knew that they are getting s3 funded before writing s2, so they are putting out cliffhangers moreso than with s3.
Part of what made The Wire good was that every season David Simon didn't know how many seasons HBO was gonna bankroll so every season can be watched as a thing in itself.

emotional damage for me it was roxie, lung cancer. but for sheer brutality probably that pregnancy on the finale. pretty sure if they hadn't saved her robby would've got on his bike and not even make it to the canyon, just throw himself straight into the pittsburgh river.

Oddly for me, it was the old slightly deaf guy who came in with his family. Not the time he came in for the low blood pressure, but when he came in after with his hand torn asunder.

It has a little bit of everything. The majority is medical competency porn and its sort of the main attraction, but there's tons of other classic television elements. So even if you don't care about the medical stuff specifically, you can still watch it as a backdrop to everything else. Some legitimately great characters and rewarding character moments that build slowly each season.

I don't know how to explain it but it just feels like old school television from the 2000s

He's like 55 in-universe just like his actor and you really can't just retire at that age unless you get a fat pension package. Even then I think you gotta wait till like 60 or something.

Also, he simply just won't, dude's a workaholic with a savior complex, his need to save all his patients is exactly what fuels his suicidal ideation. For every patient he can't save he develops survivor's guilt, and as someone who went through survivor's guilt it is not pretty and it is brutal.

Al Hashimi must've known that Robby would never let her stay knowing her condition. He already had issues letting go and having faith in her. She should have used those puppy dog eyes to seduce and Whitaker him.

Agreed, I like the character work too. I thought the pittfest mass shooting was actually a super contrived way to ramp up tension at the end of the season. And hey it also ticks a culture war box, yay. I dont mind that S2 didn't tried for a character arc over forced plot arc.
>>
>>219810862
I liked the character writing but I hate that we had so much of it. I wanted the show about medicine, not about doctors (kinda how Generation Kill is not about specific soldiers, it is about the Iraq war itself told through the lens of these soldiers).
>>
this season lacked the pittfest shooting equivalent. Those two eps in first season were god tier
>>
>>219814640
> It looked like she had furious sex
Well she is furiously and royally fucked by being no longer able to drive or function as a doctor so there's that
(although I guess the actress is confirmed for s3 so they will probably make a way for her to stay on)
>>
>>219815161
trying to one-up huge casualty events would get old fast
>>
its for the best, if they tried to one up the tension of handling a mass shooting incident they would force themselves into an unsustainable loop of upping the ante too much each season. needed to find a way to create different types of tensions and figure out different ways to end a season and I think they did a pretty good job
>>
>>219815161

There's also something like a limited series. Just commit to 2-3 seasons, do 2-3 seasons with different calamities in the ED, and pull the plug. That's it, that's the story.
You can't sustain a good level of quality over more than ~4 seasons anyway, the Wire is the textbook example of a "this is why HBO is prestige TV" show and even there the quality dips noticeably with S5. Might as well limit your scope from the outset.

Not that it excuses it, but I liked the sadness in his voice because he realized he went too far with her and can never build their relationship back up, but refused to give up his shittiness. It was a very real moment for an asshole like him.

This is why it’s so destructive to have women in leadership positions. The average female has an ego 5x larger than Trump’s and is more petty, vindictive, and delusional.

>>219807200
Yeah they definitely blew their load with the mass shooting.
They could do another MCI but then are they stuck repeating the exact same formula each season?
They tried to amp up the tension with the cyber attacks but essentially the consequence was… a bunch of paperwork and headaches. Not all that thrilling.
So they are stuck with Rabbi’s suicide plotline which in the end went nowhere… no attempt, no psych hold, no resolution. Just blueballs.
>>
>>219807355
They are mentally ill Redditors so they probably just can’t see how a healthy, happy relationship where both parties’ incentives align is a good thing. Someone needs to sacrifice something or be unhappy or self sabotage otherwise it can’t be “real love”.

Within the larger metanarrative that the US medical industry is built to explode and cannot be reformed, only destroyed and replaced, Robby takes the role of the well-meaning collaborator. He will never concede anything to that reality and will make things worse for everyone in the name of "doing things right", keeping the machine going. He will refuse extra workers in his understaffed ER because they aren't good enough for him, refusing to acknowledge that the perfect candidates see the system and avoid it so they don't get destroyed by it like he has been. Eventually, it will collapse around him, he will take the blame, and no one will say "but he tried so hard."

Black people are like a bludgeon that Jews use to literally and figuratively beat White Americans over the head.
But they are geographically constrained, mostly down south or in specific black neighborhoods in the inner cities where yuppie white liberals never go.
This means for your average NPR whitoid their perception of black people comes almost entirely from fictional portrayals in popular media(and that one half black half Jewish guy that went to Oberlin with them). So they make blacks seem like these noble, wise, saint-like troves of great spiritual wisdom and compassion that way they feel as guilty as possible for their “oppression” at the hands of their fellow white devils

Depends on his lifestyle and things like divorces, investments, etc.
lots of docs have a high income high expense life and only save through their 401k/403b. His condo probably isn’t worth millions if he even owns it outright.

It's the nature of the drama. A patient that immediately displays all the necessary diagnostic criteria and is just waiting for medication will meet with the doctors for a few minutes, and spend most of their day with nurses doing chit-chat and necessary functions. Patients with freak diseases in crisis are going to be interacting with doctors. Most patients aren't entertaining enough for television.
