hot takes & bad poetry

Robby projects himself onto Samira, which is why he treats her like crap.

I said this kind of stuff... mainly because I genuinely thought it would lead somewhere narratively.

a S3 payoff, a (real) apology from Robby, Samira finally hitting the brakes, an arc showing the total car‑wreck that is Robby’s mental state and biases and the damage he causes to everyone else on the road (Samira especially).

Plot twist → 🤡🤡

in the end it really was just a white guy spiraling and constantly humiliating his woc subordinate… and she’s the one who apologizes at the end before disappearing the next season

and he sees her wearing the same clothing as his wife

she knew what I was. she loved me anyway.

I'm here. I'm here, it's okay.

MISS CONGENIALITY (2000) dir. Donald Petrie

this girl did a several cool procedures based on case reports she read last season. she is ambitious as hell. she is research oriented. she would have heard crus talk about his applications and would have freaked out that others were further ahead in research and publications, and she would have made it happen. at least season one samira would have. or did they turn her whole character into a sad unambitious woman who has had all the life beaten out of her. who has none of the same fierceness and doesn't read rare case studies that abbot showed her, or cares about new research, or is excited at medical gadgets or at all excited to do and learn new stuff.
