still on that tightrope

Agree about Andy's romantic plot being the least interesting part, especially once the forced conflict hit. Didn't care even at all, but if he had been more interesting they might have spent more time on it, so whatever. That'll be an easily skippable side plot when it hits streaming and physical media.

I'm all good, thank you! I briefly talked about this in a general update ask I got awhile ago, but I did a genetic test (because I'm adopted) and found out I have a genetic condition that means I'm very predisposed to certain types of cancer (the big ones are uterus and colon, and ovarian is also elevated though not as dramatically) compared to the general population so I had a hysterectomy as is recommended to get rid of some of the danger zones. Relieved to have it done and recovery's been easier than I expected for the most part so far.

No, I watched the first few episodes and actively disliked it.

She just has one of those faces (extremely positive)

I didn't LOVE Santos in season one because I have a hard time with ~snark~ but apparently I've come all the way around because I get defensive about how much people misinterpret the writing for her and hate her like she's a real person who murdered their families. I also really loved Mel in season one but her season two showing has been pretty one note so far, and I'm having to work not to be negatively influenced by how the twitter crowd talks about her like she's from the ~precious cinnamon roll~ fandom era. I like Javadi and Whitaker but they're not favorites. I find Mohan unfortunately the weakest in terms of writing, but her current material is possibly an improvement depending on where it goes. I do love watching Dana but I also find her a little....it's not quite flanderization but there's something almost too admirable about the characterization. Princess is my favorite nurse, she's so funny. Emma is my favorite of the new characters, I love her earnestness.

I don't give a fuck! *extreme Reese Witherspoon in Big Little Lies voice* I don't give a fuck about your real world hospital colleagues who are not written and performed to convey things to an audience! Irrelevant!
