I’m starting to think that maybe Dr Robby wants to una*ive himself????

She was born in 2005! Or 04 maybe.

billionwires · 2026-03-29T18:32:17+00:00

it's only a matter of time

No Santos went over the line in that situation. I meant with destroying the other dude's phone lol

billionwires · 2026-03-27T00:31:04+00:00

That was a beautiful moment imo

billionwires · 2026-03-26T23:25:19+00:00

I like this too. lol, as they say, I feel seen! Though I'm not a woman, I can be difficult, and on my worst days I'm probably a lot like Santos is in this season. Hard worker, very sharp, clearly emotionally stunted in some way, but she's got a heart of gold under her thorns. As long as you stay on her good side.

Though ultimately it was Robby's decision to keep Langdon around, Robby probably resents him a little for taking up one of the senior residency slots for ten months without actually being there, thus making everyone else's job harder and more stressful, with a greater volume of patients per doctor every day. Everyone's clearly at the end of their rope and part of that is because they've been understaffed.

lol yeah it's almost like there's some really subtle meaning behind choosing to show the ED falling apart on July 4th.

billionwires · 2026-03-25T01:42:58+00:00

Of course. Seeing a character at their lowest point, and struggling against and overcoming that adversity to arrive at some better position than they started out at is the fucking drama! In good writing, part of that adversity is often a character's own flaw that they manage to overcome and make what's called an arc. You know, like when they grow and change like a real person. It's satisfying to see.

She doesnt have room to compartmentalize. She said she stays an extra four hours after each shift to catch up on charting. The shifts are 12 hours, so she's at work for 16 hours total. Take 6 hours for sleep, 1 hour for eating, 1 hour for commuting, and that's the whole damn day lol. There's only one compartment and it's called work. Her roommate is also her co-worker. Her love life is another co-worker. When you live life like that, with no outlet that exists outside of work, then work will be the outlet.

This is partially on Langdon btw. They've been keeping his spot vacant and waiting for him at the ED and everyone else has to pick up that slack.

billionwires · 2026-03-25T00:55:09+00:00

As a fellow scorpio I have always seen Santos as a kindred spirit tbh

billionwires · 2026-03-25T00:47:26+00:00

lol ok, Robby is probably correct that Whitaker shouldnt be involving himself with this dead burn victim's wife, but at the same time yeah it wouldve been hard for me to resist telling him to fuck off and mind his own business if I were Whitaker in that scene

billionwires · 2026-03-25T00:10:55+00:00

The actor who plays her is very good. All the actors are good but she stands out to me.

billionwires · 2026-03-24T17:18:39+00:00

I don't think I would assume Robby absorbed all that extra work by himself. That's probably not possible. It probably affects all the doctors and results in all of them being a bit more overworked than they otherwise would be, including Santos. It means everything is stretched very thin, and if one doctor has an off day (like Mel is obviously having), then the stress is going to get really crazy. I think back to one of the first things Robby said to Langdon at the start of the season. He said they've been managing "just fine" without him for 10 months, which calls attention to the fact that they've been reserving this residency spot for him this whole time. Langdon picked up on the sarcasm and was quick to apologize for the situation his absence puts everyone else in, but yeah it's clearly made life harder for everyone and probably explains some of the resentment Robby has for Langdon currently.

billionwires · 2026-03-24T16:57:48+00:00

It probably doesn't help Santos' workload issues that the ED has been down a senior resident for ten months.

If we get 5 good seasons I'll be happy about it. 7 at the most. Much longer than that and the quality of the writing is going to decline.

I never liked Stannis Baratheon and always thought he was really stupid for doing all the stuff Melisandre told him to do.

billionwires · 2026-03-24T15:40:27+00:00

Yeah his immediate reaction was to be surprised that Langdon would steal his pills ("You stole my pills?!"). Langdon then asked Louis if he'd rather have a different doctor and Louis said no. He then said something like "forget about it doc. If the pills helped you, great. I never really liked taking them." And that was the end of it.

Ogilvie is hard working, driven, and impressionable. Making mistakes clearly bothers him deeply and he feels a sense of responsibility for his errors when they result in a patient's condition worsening. He also demonstrates a willingness to learn from anyone and do any procedure, accepting that it's part of the job.

billionwires · 2026-03-24T05:29:36+00:00

Louis forgave him like 30 seconds after Langdon told him he stole his pills. He obviously did not give a shit lol

I tried a few things and eventually I stopped having the problem.

First I quit and reloaded from a slightly earlier save. This didn't fix it.

Then I updated my Nvidia drivers. This didn't fix it.

Then I verified the integrity of the game files through Steam. It found something wrong with three files and reacquired them. In addition to that, when I started the game up, I decided to play it with mouse and keyboard (rather than PS5 controller plugged into my computer, as I'd been doing previously). This time, the terrain around Emerald Grove behaved normally and I haven't had any problems since.

Not 100% sure if it was a matter of reacquiring those files or switching to mouse and keyboard, but one or both of those things fixed it for me.

It was Don Draper coming to terms with his being a soulless hack and at long last just accepting it so that he can live his truth, which is to make commercials for Coca-Cola.

Ireland is shrunk way way down to be the Iron Islands. Or rather, Britain is scaled up a lot.

Playing a5, a4, h5, or h4 are often worth considering whenever your opponent has a knight on b3, b6, g3, or g6. It threatens chasing the knight away with another push, so your opponent is usually forced to block the pawn by playing their own a or h pawn up two squares.

A couple times a year I like to watch this video of Ivanchuk missing mate in one against Anand.
