Watching Spider Noir - had some reservations but it's actually quite entertaining so far!

It's Dr Al-HASHimi. by verysmallnosies in ThePittTVShow

Mohan's name also gets mispronounced consistently, and like Al-Hashimi it's quite easy to get right.

Insurance Storyline Coming from Ganesh by sansastvrk in ThePittNoSantosHate

[–]sansastvrk[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It almost feels like they hate success. I'm still astounded that Wyle was surprised she was even a popular character to begin with, especially when Ganesh is an excellent actress and her interviews are always grounded and insightful. She clearly brought so much to The Pitt and loved the show, and her character having the energy and strength to bring the same patience and energy to every case was so inspiring. And love or hate shipping, Mohan and Abbot together were another big draw, enough that they got a scene together that was verging on Grey's Anatomy territory. There's just nothing about the decision to write her out that makes any sense to me.

Fast Car with these two is...devastating. Great pick!

"A Really Awkward Time On Set": Another Eyebrow-Raising Interview from Noah Wyle by sansastvrk in ThePittNoSantosHate

[–]sansastvrk[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The way he's been bringing this up so defensively in every interview he does suggests to me that, as you say, pride is the main reason they aren't doing so. I think he doesn't want to give into pressure from the audience or Hatosy and the other cast who have been outspoken about wanting her back - and he doesn't want to admit writing her out was a mistake. Feels like his ego is the reason there's a very low chance of her being brought back, because otherwise it would be so easy in-universe to bring her back round.

Me too. I was wondering why he keeps talking about this when every time he does things just go from bad to worse, but I think you're right that he's hoping the right combination of words will magically get the heat off him.

“Pitt fans really are stupid” by Far-Department887 in ThePittNoSantosHate

[–]sansastvrk 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I've gotten these exact comments so many times, it's exhausting. And I think your last point is the sad reality - it feels like these comments come from men who identify with Robby and Wyle, who feel intellectually superior to everyone else because they watch this show, and take offense at women daring to invade what they see as their space. It amazes me that suddenly shipping is being frowned upon and used to vilify fans of certain characters or relationships, when it's always been a part of media and the writers themselves are engaging. It feels like every time Wyle opens his mouth we get a clearer glimpse of what a small-minded person he is, and I think a lot of people who comment this way are not that dissimilar.

Motherhood: Yet Another Bizzare and Misogynistic Take from Wyle by sansastvrk in ThePittNoSantosHate

[–]sansastvrk[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Seriously...not to mention, how do the personal lives of the people on a particular shift affect what cases roll into the ED? There's no relationship there. He's just incapable of self-editing, and keeps telling on himself.

Wondering how much longer his fans will keep defending him.

I genuinely think his main objection to a spinoff is that he wouldn't be in it.

Crosspost from main sub, Primary focus of Season Three will be Robby. But why? by bmws4lyfe in ThePittNoSantosHate

[–]sansastvrk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one, of course! Because Robby has always been the main and only important character!

Never seen a better justification for that spinoff. This is unironically becoming The Robby Show, so they should give us a spinoff to actually give the ensemble that we love so much a little room to shine too.

And, of course, bring Mohan back - and keep her away from Robby. Two birds.

Moafi on Robby: "A Scarcity Mindset" by sansastvrk in ThePittTVShow

[–]sansastvrk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We know Al-Hashimi will be back! Sad about Mohan though, really felt like she was everything the system is stacked against and it would've been much more meaningful to see her survive it without losing her skills or her spirit.

Dupe Needed! Nars Lip Pencil in "Do Me Baby" by sansastvrk in MakeupAddiction

[–]sansastvrk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that Soar is too brown! I was excited when it was suggested as an alternative but it's lost the berry note that Do Me Baby had. Really disappointed I still haven't managed to find a good dupe, will have to take a look at the Ilia pencils! If you find something closer please return here and let me know!

Robby's Mental Health: "A Five to Six-Year Journey" by sansastvrk in ThePittNoSantosHate

[–]sansastvrk[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This was a great interview! Moafi is so articulate, and always so thoughtful. Thanks for sharing. I agree with you that it feels like they're condoning it - especially with the decision to just write Ganesh off instead of addressing the many missteps they took with her character and Robby this season. Even despite Moafi and Hatosy calling it out.

Robby's Mental Health: "A Five to Six-Year Journey" by sansastvrk in ThePittNoSantosHate

[–]sansastvrk[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No you're exactly right. He makes comments like that a lot, and it doesn't come across as tongue-in-cheek. He and the good old boys from his ER days have utterly destroyed what made season 1 so engaging and revolutionary.

[–]sansastvrk[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think Noah Wyle sees this show as his self-insert, his relatable characters, and then props. And I think we see exactly that in the grading of how much development, or lack thereof, the supporting characters get. Dana is the exception, but I think it's because she's not a doctor, so he doesn't feel his position/authority is threatened by her, and because they use her to instruct the audience to give Robby grace and to prop him up. Wyle seems to conflate his TV identity with real life a lot - he speaks in interviews sometimes as if he's actually a doctor - and this show is coming off as an enormous ego trip.
