Honestly the only thing that stuck with me about last night's episode was when Robby said "I don't know if I want to be here anymore" and he wasn't referring to the hospital. If your main character is at their breaking point, and alluding to suicide, I'm not sure how anything else in the episode, including a character's statement about ICE, is something I understand holding a grudge about. That moment is still sitting with me today.

I didn't realize it at the time, but this is why Nurse Dana said she had a bad feeling she would never see Robbie again if he left.


Haven't people been predicting he was suicidal from ep1?

Literally the first scene was an ER doc riding a motorcycle without a helmet.

Also, I doubt there's a suicide. But does anyone remember the big event of the ER pilot? Actually one of the reasons I doubt we see it - it'll just play like a Carol Hathaway retread.

Langdon reducing that guy's cervical fractures was wild stuff.

My wife doesn't even watch the show and I went back and showed her that scene, so freakin' cool.

Also love how the other docs were like dude that was badass, I enjoy when Abbott is genuinely impressed.

Great line from the bike mechanic when Robby tells him he can't lift anything over five pounds: "How am I supposed to take a piss?"

And I liked Dr Robby's response to that where it took him a second to get the joke.

Robby is definitely going home with Baby Jane Doe right?

Best show on tv. And it's not really even close, for me.

Abbot and Robbie's scene towards the end of the episode was so good. Noah Wyle deserves the Emmy. He was outstanding all season.

Amazing show. The scene where they were working to save the mom after the c-section and Robby kept looking over to see how the baby was doing - then his reaction when the baby cried. Incredible. Definitely give him the Emmy.

I'm amazed how realistic looking the procedures look

Abbot has become I think my favorite character on the show, he's a total wildcard yet so controlled and I love his subtle snark. The scenes where he just pulls off some wild procedure with zero technology are amazing.

As a dad of two under 5 their births are still pretty vivid memories, their deliveries were luckily fairly smooth but man all those feelings came flooding back during the scenes with the mom and her baby. It's also one of the few times we've recently seen Robby affected by a procedure, as mentioned he was fantastic in that scene.

Seeing Dr Al-Hashimi start to accept her circumstances at the end was really powerful too, she's another character who's so capable but dealing with limitations outside her control. Super interested to see where they take next season, I hope we see more of her as well.

Good read with Luke Tennie (Dr Henderson) where he goes into detail on the delivery scene:

I couldn't help but yell at that pregnant lady before she seized. "Stupid b****!" I loved Abbott's line about 30% infant mortality before modern medicine. Very intense scene when it all went sideways.

I rewatched that scene and will probably do so again. Noah Wylie was great but so was Shawn Hatosy. The scene falls flat if they both don't nail it.

Another great season. Hate that we have to wait.

My least favorite this season was Dr. McKay and I think the writing was maybe to blame. Her first season arc was built around suspicion so this season all her looks just came off as judgmental to me. Like patient would request a ham sandwich and she'd overhear and look at him with a look like "ham? interesting..." Maybe it was just me In general she just really got sidelined this season. Not much to do.

I didn't care for the addition of Luke Tennie. I like him on Shrinking but acting wise he tends to suffer from dead eyes. No matter what he was doing in this show his eyes were just blank and emotionless.

I've never seen him before, but my take is similar. He didn't give the impression that he's really a doctor. Just a guy reading lines. Seems miscast.

Yeah, he got a little bit better over the three seasons of Shrinking, but he really is very limited as an actor.

Just want to add that I haven't heard "you're ****ing a right" in a minute and it made me happy
