starting to think that a) the pitt was a one hit wonder or b) it's suffering of the "second part syndrome" and the 3rd season will be better bc we'll see the seeds planted these season bloom in the next one. i could be wrong though

noah wyle's ego of centering the show only on robby and using all the surrounding characters as narrative tools for his development is going to be the show's perdition. it's going to die of success

[brekkerholmes]

literally. and the thing is that it also is not beneficial for the purpose of the show, which it is, at the end of the day, that we understand the experiences of healthcare workers and honor them. framing the changing of the cast as a way of portraying the rotations that happen in real hospitals 1) makes the audience afraid to commit to the show 2) makes people not as emotionally invested bc the medicine is just a means to an end, which is to connect with the emotions and experience of these people. not everyone understands the medicine, but emotion is universal. at the end of the day, it's fiction not a documentary!! you have to use different tools, suspend you disbelief and not be as accurate to get your point across.

also, one of the thing why the show has worked so far is bc it is an ensemble cast, which means any different storylines that attract a very wide audience that can relate to one part or another. betting all their cards in one character would be shooting themselves in the foot (specially if the cause is the ego of 1 person), not only bc it will drive away a big part of the audience, but bc it will defeat the core of the story by making it a particular actor's or actors show, which is what they have seemingly been trying to avoid.

also i can't leave without mentioning that the only people who have left the show in the context of "realistic hospital rotations" are women of color, and no one from the white or male cast. very very weird and definitely makes me think that the writers have some biases.

as a black person, as a woman, and as someone who works in the entertainment industry, i'm of multiple minds about supriya ganesh leaving the show and most of it comes down to whether this was a decision she made; given she is absolutely blowing up right now and likely has quite a lot of options for jobs, if she chose to leave, i think that's both fine and also, good for her! her star is on the rise! it also speaks to the realism of how many people come and go from teaching hospitals in real life, so from a broad-strokes view, i don't necessarily think that's a bad thing

on the other hand, the pitt has now twice removed characters who are women of color, notably this time a character whose major motivations center around advocating for and supporting patients who are also marginalized and mistreated by the existing healthcare system. the variety article indicates that this is a story-driven decision, which again, isn't necessarily bad on its face, but why is this specific character and actor being written off, why now? how much input, if any, did ganesh have in this decision? (knowing how writers' rooms work, there could be as much as some or as little as none.) there have also been rumors that this exit may have been spurred by ganesh being frustrated by the treatment of women of color and specifically advocating for better storylines; obviously if this is the case with her leaving the show, this is extremely fucked up

the announcement itself being paired with ayesha harris's promotion (which i cannot celebrate and cheer loudly enough) and coming out before the season finale itself also very odd; i am grateful that from what i've seen so far, people have not taken the easy bait of blaming harris and/or pitting two amazing actors of color against one another about this. the headline itself is very tokenizing, but i'm glad that people are smart enough to see beyond that. that said why drop this news now without any indication of what this means for either of their characters before the season is even over? (my guess is contract signings just happened but that's speculation on my part)

i wish supriya ganesh all the best moving forward and can't wait to see her star continue to shine in other projects, i am super sad about the loss of samira mohan as a character, and i am so excited to see ayesha harris grace our screens more as parker ellis, and none of these thoughts are mutually exclusive. ps i know i'm gensec of mohabbot nation but if mourning a ship is your first reaction to this news you are not a serious person
