guilty of swallowing the afternoon sun

Happy anniversary to one of the most romantic quotes of television. "17 People" aired on April 4, 2001, 24 years ago.

when you're a brunet man on a John Wells show who wants to run in circles around your blonde coworker

when she hears that their previous healthcare provider has been shit? she will step up. she takes criticism to the heart and do better. she listens.

Robby and Garcia and Shamsi and even Trinity look at Javadi and see the prodigy and they don't question how strange it is for her to be there. We see that in their reactions to Javadi making a mistake which is on par with or even smaller than the mistakes made by her peers. They treat her like in every situation, she should already know exactly what to do. It's not treated like a teaching moment like it is for other med students and interns. She fucked up and should have known better.

But McKay from day one sees Javadi and acknowledges how strange it is for her to be so young and where she is. She behaves almost maternally to her because I think Cassie puts in her a category more akin to Harrison than to her peers. She doesnt expect a level of emotional maturity from her that really doesn't make sense from someone that young. Instead, she talks to her. She actually teaches her instead of just assuming she's a prodigy with all the answers and berating her when she doesn't have them.
