One thing I don’t miss on this app is ya’lls relationship to presumably autistic tv characters.

It’s like y’all instantly infantilize them. IT’S WEIRD.

I’m seeing it with Dr. King on The Pitt & this latest episode with Gregory in Abbott Elementary.

These are grown ass people, treat them as such.

[beauspot]

i doubt they’ll date…he’s married and the show seems averse to drama

Image ID: A screencap from The Pitt episode 3, where Dr. Langdon and Dr. Mel go (run) to start the STEMI Langdon: Our target door-to-baloon time with STEMIs is 51 minutes. Mel: Ambitious. Langdon: But doable. As you're about to find out. /end ID

They are so cute. Look how excited she is. She really loves being a doctor and, clearly, he does too (albeit he's probably had too much Red Bull at this point). I love how this relationship is developing (no romance. no romance. no romance)

Mel is clearly autistic, and the way she's portrayed is different, I think, to anything I've seen before. She is awkward, of course, and she is smart but not savant level (the role of the genious of the show goes to Victoria Javadi--what a relief). And she wants to be friends with people and to enjoy doing medicine with them, but she has her quirks and they are.. um.. believable, I think would be the right word. Relatable.

I think Langdon sees that she's different and may have a few tough moments ahead of her (opening up to Dr. Santos? Not a good idea). He's very enthusiastic about medicine and that's what the two of them have in common, that's why he took her under his wing. To teach her, but also to protect her, if need be.

I wonder what she thinks about him, at this point? She sees him as a competent doctor, that's for sure, but in terms of potential friendship? I mean. She is clueless, sweet pea. She asked Trinity Santos, of all people, if they could be friends. When Langdon is right. there.

Well. Can't wait for next week. :)

The Pitt literally has everything. Socially awkward and highly competent autistic coded character. Sarcastic asshole with a heart of gold. Nervous white boy with the saddest eyes you’ve ever seen. Nepo baby child prodigy. Milf with a mysterious past. Noah Wyle. Need I say more

THE PITT 1.01 • 7:00 A.M.

By far my favourite dynamic within the team has gotta be Mel and Frank. I really love the how supportive he is of her.

[eveningspirit]

We got skills, baby!

I think this was my favorite episode to date. Almost all characters had nice moments and writing feels solid across the board. Save for Santos, that is.

I can't decide if she's just that kind of "person", or if writing for her is weak, but she feels so one-dimensional. I thought I would like her, because characters who seem unlikeable tug at my heartstrings. They must have some redeeming qualities, though, meanwhile she's... just mean. And self-important. Idek. Judgment is still out, but if they don't make some sort of plot twist with her very soon, I'm gonna go with "bad writing".

Mel was awesome helping Whitaker with his blister guy. Self assured and upbeat. She knew what she was doing, kept her cool, stayed on top of things and did it all with such an air of someone who's right where they belong. Loved it! And I love her.

With the old lady, and especially her caregiver daughter, she came off too stiff, though, and technical. But I guess, when it comes to emotional connection with patients, she's not going to excell.

The way, say, McKay does. The way she approached her patient, sharing just enough of her own life story to get that woman to open up -- that was amazing. McKay is growing on me with each episode. Indeed, like Langdon said "Cassie, she's great". Even her putting Victoria in her place felt right. A bit raw and pain-filled, but she course corrected, because, well, Victoria is still learning. And she has a lot to learn -- mostly things she won't find in books.

Speaking of doctors connecting with patients, Dr. Mohan was her usual caring self and it's so heartwarming. Btw, the wives were wonderful too. It's rare to see someone suffering the way Joyce is with sickle cell, and at the same time having a good life, being loved, having everything to live and fight for. No, her illness doesn't define her. She's a "mom" to a "bougie bitch", she loves Ondine. Their story is one I'm most interested in among the patients, and I hope we see her improving by the end of the shift.

The interaction between Dr. Collins and Dr. Mohan was pretty great too. And here's where I can confidently say that writing for this show is very good (and that's why I'm still rooting for character development of Dr. Santos). The way Collins apologized, and told Mohan to "never change" and "you do you, Dr. Mohan" -- that was true character growth. And we've known those characters for six hours! We never witnessed their animosities, or Collins giving Mohan that nickname "Slow-Mo". Nevertheless, that scene had impact.

Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Langdon. Each scene where he and YoYo (Dr. Garcia) argue and bicker brightens my day. As did the one in this episode, when he finally didn't let her "crice" and instead McGyvered intubation with Dr. Robby's help. I'm a sucker for his entusiasm and joy he gets from his work.

I loved his scenes with Robby's son Jake, too. They had such a big brother / little brother vibe. Or two twelve-year-olds fooling around, lol. That warm welcome and their whole interaction made me wonder how long had Langdon known Robby. Because it certainly doesn't feel like four years of residency. There's more history there (no, not that kind, eeeeww)

Yeah, I think that's all I wanted to say about this episode. Looking forward to the next one. :)
