Season 1: Robby stops and reflects on Dr. Adamson's picture.

Season 2: Robby stops and reflects on the Pitt Fest commendation plaque.

It would be funny if there's a picture of Baby Jane Doe on the wall in season 3. Or maybe the mannequin Digby stole. What else?

As someone who has a sibling with intellectual and developmental disabilities, Mel and Becca’s plotline is a piece of representation that feels so huge to me. Growing up, representation of the family I have is few and far between. When it does appear, it’s often inaccurate and belittling to the family member with disabilities.

I personally have more support in my life than Mel does but having talked with a lot of other care giver siblings, the nuance with which her character is written — someone who sees intellectually disabled people and listens to them, yet still struggles to apply the same principles in her own life — is so real. The way in which the sense of routine with your sibling may seem special or unique to you only to feel betrayed when your disabled sibling decides to share that routine with someone else (watching Elf with Adam in this case) is so deeply painful at times. In my personal experience, it can be difficult to introduce my sibling to new things, so bonding together/routine change usually happens on her terms, not mine. I wouldn’t change her for anything, but I do have to admit that it can be difficult sometimes and it’s nice to see that represented outside of my own experience.

In season 2 I love that they chose to make Becca’s relationship with Adam highlight how Mel has lost her sense of self outside of the caregiver role instead of making it a tragic story of Becca being taken advantage of. On the flip side, it shows that Becca has an independent sense of self that is not often represented in intellectually disabled characters, as their stories often heavily rely on their perceived deficits.

I can’t wait to see how the story continues in season 3!

Very curious what Gemmill is alluding to with Robby's trajectory for season 3.

Doesn't have to actually be the disease, could be a sibling disease like cowpox, but the initial showing of the disease causing a scare and an extreme epidemiology episode could be nice.

im vaguely entertaining the idea of drawing the cast as anthropomorphic animals but id need to decide who everyone is first, ive got down langdon as some sort of dog, mohan as a deer, whitaker as a particularly wet cat and dana as an owl (because the mental image of her head doing a full 180 to give you a stern look was really funny)

im open to other suggestions for these guys though and very very open to suggestions for other characters, im trying to avoid too many cats and dogs but equally i dont want a bunch of super obscure animals that might be weird to draw lol. any suggestions are appreciated!!

I would pick five. The number of seasons the show can go on for will depend on the number of effective crises they can come up with. To avoid them becoming too implausible, I would say five of them would be an realistic number to stop at

does anyone know what kind of pagers, or rather phones because thats kinda what they look like, do doctors on the pitt use? they're clearly not pagers but work as such and can be seen on garcia and others a few times? anyone know the model or what they're called? i didnt really get any meaningful results when googling

I never liked Santos but season 2, episode 12, I don't want to see her, anymore, specifically, how she just got done shitting all over Langdon with the most ridiculous self centered speech of all time, and THEN has the infuriating gall to paint herself as the victim when talking to Whitaker! That was gross. That was really gross.

She said she didn't even care about the legal aspect, and he apologized, profusely, for being an asshole, and *thats the only part she cares about, the asshole part, the part that he's genuinely sorry for*

I hate that aspect of her, it's way too much, there's a complex, interesting character underneath all of that, but the rage inducing bit is so strong, it overwhelms
