We need to not catch any bug, new or old, but I'd love to have a leisurely Japanese Nabe meal outdoors.

In Season 3 Dr. Mel will be coming into her own under... whatever Pitt authority exists. And her sister Becca will likely continue to become independent, separating further from Mel and from their previous very intertwined life.

Besides the Renn Faire, Boba, and Karaoke, what hobbies do you think Dr. Mel will pick up? I can't see her on the Street Team, she's too bothered by Becca's social life to sink further into Medicine.

S2E2, 18 min in, the doc introduces herself with this pronunciation of her name: "el HAH shee mee".

Everyone else pronounces it "alha SHEE mee".

The only other such egregious mispronunciation was the Evil Capitalist trying to buy Robby back in S1. I can see why Dr. "RAH bin OH vitch" goes by any other nickname (except "Fruitcake").

So will Dr. Al-Hashimi get good nicknames too? Dr. Al is good, but we can do better.

Dr. Hashbrown?

(please note that this is kinda sarcastic, but I'm making a point here)

Robby's mom left him, the Original Sin against Saint Robby.

Gramma Robby died and left Robby only a faith that sustained him less than a fresh-faced ex-student-priest quoting the Bible.

McKay (ankle monitor=giving felon) mothered that poor Incel into a Mandatory Hold.

Dana, who treated Robby like a surrogate mom in S1 is a mean damn snake in S2, no momma here. But she hovers over that homeless man like a mother bird!

Samira's mom is just distractingly awful in S2.

Whitaker's being stolen by that idiot farm girl with her idiot baby. Nobody is happy with that but Whitaker, and we all know Whitaker can't possibly know what's best for him.

And that vile mom who abandoned her baby!

Should we even talk about Dr. Shamsi's mom? SHUDDER!

Okay, I could go on, but seriously. The Pitt moms get worse than Fridged: they're actively turned into villains to serve the plot. While dads get mostly free passes.

EDIT: S2 E3 36:00. Langdon recites from memory the ending of a blessing on Fatherhood. Like, holy shit, y'all can't even let the OBGYN specialist do her job with either of the obstetric emergencies, Robby's got to get his hands in there (but the women still have to handle the priapism penis WTF!), but you def have time to recite effing paens to fathers. Not sure this could be more obvious.

It takes a big man to stand back and let others shine in their light. Good fathers learn that. Wyle and the writers are... not good at that yet.

We'll be tootling around SF next week, where are our best chances to watch/hear them? Do they have any routines?

Tri-tip was marked down at Costco. What's the best way to cook it for portioning and freezing?
