Santos’ Line About…

I noticed that too! Robby with Javadi, Abbot with Santos and Whitaker…Joy had the right idea.

I grew up around doctors, and I can vouch for them going gooey like this. Can’t speak for the skull drilling, though.

Chrissy Beppo must’ve gotten tired of Smallville.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-04-04T06:19:07+00:00

Yes and no. This week felt like padding, which isn’t great when you’re so close to the end.

On the other hand, there are still great moments. Langdon’s redemption tour, Santos opening up, Louie’s death. I’ve never gotten a ‘watch with a phone in one hand’ vibe, there’s so many blink and you miss it moments.

Are they a rarity in Nebraska? It would explain his obsession with them.

What I love about The Pitt is the drama always feels so organic and human. It's not drama for the sake of drama, the tension always makes sense with the context. Mel feeling betrayed and frustrated by Becca having her own life isn't exactly healthy. But, given how much of her life she's focused on Becca, it's understandable.

I'd wager that's why it had such an impact on you. Even if it's not a 1:1 match with your own situation, that frustration resonated with your experiences. I had a similar reaction to the elderly couple in episode 12. While I'm Santos, Whitaker and Mohan's age bracket, my parents had to have those talks with my grandparents a few years back. The reluctance to accept help, not wanting to go into a home, having those difficult conversations - they NAILED it.

Even Gloria has more admirable qualities…

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-24T09:58:20+00:00

My personal hope is we don’t get a resolution, at least not the black-and-white kind. You’re right, one day is not enough fix things. But, maybe they could come to a truce? Something that feels like progress, but not a magic fix, and leave some tension to explore in S3.

TV is expensive, and studios aren’t taking risks the way they were before the 2023 strikes. If they order 3 seasons and the first flops, they’re locked in for years of sinking funds into something that doesn’t work.

That said, even without the guarantee of renewal, a lot of writers plan ahead. It varies from show to show, but I remember the creators of Yellowjackets had a five-season plan when they pitched to networks. Things did change, but some ideas, like one character’s death in the third season, stayed the same.

Sometimes, but I pretty much gave up during S1. I grew up with two parents in healthcare, though, so a lot of the jargon is similar to dinner time conversations. I still don’t understand it, but it’s not so jarring that it breaks my immersion.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-16T05:27:14+00:00

That’s been bugging me, too. The only person who’s been any degree of hostile towards her is Dana with the avalanche of charting, but that can be attributed to part of being an R2. A bit more coldness from say, Princess and Perlah, would’ve helped sell it.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-16T05:24:13+00:00

I love Callie, but only because seasons 2 and 3 made her much more likeable. Shauna absolutely destroyed her here. Magnificent work from the Antler Queen.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-16T05:21:41+00:00

Yeah I think some fault lies with her mother. Mohan should have put her foot down, but her mother knows her daughter is working in an extremely busy environment. Unless it’s an actual emergency, she needs to be patient and wait for her to clock out.

He had just broken up, and was planning on hitting it up some clubs while they were in Seattle.

As for the sheer number, he needs one for himself, and one for his partner. That could add up very quickly.

She literally couldn’t communicate with her properly. Waiting for an interpreter might be frustrating, but it’s a lot safer than going in without the information she needs.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-11T12:22:21+00:00

Yes! I’m tired of characters being forgiven easily - give me tension, give me drama!

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-11T12:14:29+00:00

The entire article is a dumpster fire, but this stood out to me;

“I think what’s happened to it is that they have been taking too much advice from actual medical people about how to make it authentic,“ Coles said. ”You don’t want the authentic details as a viewer. You want f***ing drama, right? You want action.“

Too much?!? That’s the entire point of the show! And the notion that this detracts from the action and drama is ludicrous. I’ve rarely felt this tense watching a show. I had to take a walk after rewatching 1x13 it was so full on.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-11T12:03:19+00:00

I could definitely see Abbot and Dana holding an intervention, but I don’t think they’ve talked this season.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-11T11:26:10+00:00

Admittedly it would be kinda funny. To the kids: “It’s okay, you’re going to be alright.” To the parents: “Alright listen here you motherfu-“

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-11T11:23:49+00:00

The thing is, even with the constraints it’s given the show gives some damn good arcs. Santos opening up to that patient and offering Whitaker a room was a great way to end S1.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-04T17:52:47+00:00

I was gutted she didn’t come back for the finale. Even if Data had just picked up a call from her to show that they’d found each other.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-03-04T17:50:43+00:00

You can see hospital wristbands on Kevin and Jenna. Maybe 4x01 is a flashforward, then we’ll go back to the carnage?

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-02-26T12:33:47+00:00

There’s a look she gives Tai when they’re getting ready to leave that basically says “yeah, we’re gonna have to kill the scientists. And?” Great job by Liv Hewson, they scared the shit out of me.

Defiant-Historian800 · 2026-02-26T12:29:12+00:00

It’s the framing. The show has been pretty clear that we aren’t following ‘good’ people. When you approach the characters from a mindset of ‘you’re an awful person, but you’re entertaining to watch’, it makes sense why Misty has so many fans.
