into the afterglow

Ryan Gosling, I have grown exceedingly fond of you. Oh, Canadian man.

not now kitten, the walls are closing in on daddy

do you guys think that maybe... the pitt scenes were cut because the episode was already an hour long and they probably wanna leave some things for s3... do you think maybe victoria's and trinity's and especially baran's arcs are only gonna continue... in s3... do you think maybe... since they know they're renewed... they know they have more time to do longer character arcs instead of scrambling to keep it self-contained... do you think maybe.... characters really can't be super developed within (checks watch) 15 hours... hmm....

Does no one in the Pitt fandom enjoy fucked up characters? Baran nearly drives despite knowing she could kill someone and only reconsiders when she’s pulling out of her spot in the parking lot. She spent the day doing procedures despite having multiple seizures. Robby is cruel to people he works with in ways that harm them. But do you not find it compelling how they got to that point? Do you not find it compelling that they will get to a place, her sooner than him because she’s already there at the end of the episode, where they say fuck, I can’t believe what I did today and have to deal with the guilt and self-recrimination. Is it not interesting to think about them trying to understand the bad thing they did as a defense because they’ve been hurt before and are acting out of self-protective instincts and also trying to find forgiveness for themselves? Where is the love for characters who make mistakes in this fandom?
