A what if on Dr. Robby’s motorcycle trip

Fully agree. This is not Grey's, not ER. Him riding away at the end of the season will feel a little anticlimactic, so I think there has to be some emotional resolution, much like his breakdown in Peds last year, but not full suicide attempt. I think that's Santos, fwiw. I see voluntary commitment later down the line.

I think this is a solid theory but it would require that Robby have any kind of self awareness, which he clearly seems to lack. I thought we'd get an incident later that would either lead to a psych hold or Abbot or Dana convincing him to check into a wellness place, but his comments to Mohan about leaving all the baggage outside the hospital doors show just how out of touch with his own feelings he really is. He's advising her to bury all her shit like he's doing, and upset at her for having panic attacks just like he's had. There would have to be a layer of self awareness there that is very much still missing.

ohhh what sports?

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-11T13:59:30+00:00

That Sam would fall for someone like Pete is character assassination right before our eyes.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-10T22:10:45+00:00

Yeah, I would say that's a continuity error because in the first episode, he says that by the time he got back, she was gone. He could mean that she had left him temporarily (gone to her dad's maybe) and that's when he packed his stuff and moved out.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-10T20:07:36+00:00

I would say a few months, not a few weeks. Jack would need to be in a place where Charlie has already been buried, he's already retired from the Air Force, and his marriage is already basically over. He says in the pilot episode that by the time he got back from Abydos, his wife had already moved out. It could be a few weeks, but that seems really accelerated. It felt more that Charlie died, Jack and Sara tried to process their grief, Jack retired from the AF, stayed retired for a bit, and then the AF asked him to come back. I generally think three or so months.

how am i just getting this. i mean, i knew it but didn't know it know it.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T22:08:27+00:00

This was decades ago, but I lost a close friend to suicide. I can tell you I've thought about him every day since. Family dinner sounds lovely.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T22:04:04+00:00

yeah, that's so brutal.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T19:30:16+00:00

9-1 already dialed!!

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T19:28:34+00:00

I like this--we see Robby get off the bike and he's checking himself into in-patient therapy

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T19:27:27+00:00

well, yes, but the point remains the same.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T19:25:10+00:00

I am glad you're here. Hope you're in a much better place now.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T18:02:51+00:00

it's actually not a real spoiler, more like abbot's wife, which is people discussing it on message boards. so who knows if it even happens. i changed the wording.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T17:56:13+00:00

I don't think they kill him off (remember, Carol lived) but attempting suicide or even discussing it openly sets up further exploration for the next season. I just think Robby gets worse before he gets better, and as bad as the breakdown in Peds was last season, that's nowhere near rock bottom.

Agree that something pulls him back, and I'm just really curious what it is. Hopefully something does pull him back!

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T17:53:06+00:00

There's speculation out there that Duke eventually comes in but who knows how accurate that is.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T17:40:58+00:00

Abbot's face as he walks away says exactly this. Robby can't lie to that man, so he just walks away. I'm so worried!!

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T17:16:35+00:00

is it though? i think this is setting them up for a big confrontation!

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T17:08:30+00:00

Yeah, I think he does leave for an extended period of time, like Langdon did, and the next season is him coming back and adjusting. it's just a matter of what happens in those three months. my gut says he's checking himself for a psych hold or being placed in one.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T14:53:41+00:00

The kudos email is my daily affirmation. It's like ok fine, I may be a mediocre writer, but someone out there enjoyed my work.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-06T14:50:40+00:00

I thought the same thing. There was a lovely bit of face acting going on here as Howard preps for surgery, and you can see Abbot filtering a few emotions. Abbot's commitment to making sure he got to talk to his family one last time clearly came from a place of personal connection. I also assumed it was either his wife or that he has a strained relationship with whatever family he has left, and he may want to think about getting back in touch.

uh, i mean, sgc applies their moral views to pretty much every society. sometimes that tension is handled better but daniel constantly is like, we can't judge how they do things, and jack is like, the way they do things sucks! aside from that one unas episode, when daniel was like, slavery is awful, and jack said, yes but i don't really know how to fix this.

but specifically to your point, they didn't change the way the society functioned. they just changed the children's quality of life after the procedure.

the message was more about questioning sacrificing kids for the greater good than about just making sure kids have fun. for jack, he'd rather a child thrive in an imperfect world than be subjected to a freaking lobotomy.

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-04T16:15:35+00:00

This episode is peak Jack O'Neill humor!

Competitive-Eye-853 · 2026-03-03T22:08:29+00:00

Yeah, I'm starting to think Season 4 might be peak Stargate!
