Never forgetting that confused person on instagram who had somehow missed every mention of Langdon’s kids until the Santos confrontation, and who was complaining about it being a plot hole

#I get missing their names #or even that he has two #if you’re not paying attention #but he straight up talks to his son #the pitt #frank langdon

It looks like the dad bracelet is back!!!

#an it seems we’re getting a mckay and langdon scene #since the gold derby interciew mentioned that fiona and patrick were filming together when they got the announcements #fiona doesn’t seem to be wearing scrubs tho #which is fascinating #the pitt #frank langdon #cassie mckay

It’s interesting to me that Hero has her mother’s surname but not Alogar and Shadia from what it seems. At first I assumed orcs just had patriarchal naming traditions, since Hal and Thjazi also have their father’s name. But Hero breaks the pattern. And it can’t be which name has more influence, since then Lloy would be the obvious choice.

#the meta reason is probably just that Liam liked that name combo more #since sounding like ‘hero divine’ seemed intentional #and it’s not unreasonable that Hal and Thaisha liked them having a less known name #since they can always choose to go by Lloy later #critical role #halandil fang #thaisha lloy

I think some of the reason for why the Whittaker and Langdon fight became subject to so much debate is that it makes a lot of sense when looking at the characters individually. Whitaker is standing up for himself and creating boundaries, which has been a struggle all season. While Langdon is showing emotional growth in just accepting the critique and hopefully taking some of it to heart for himself, building on his previous conversation with Joy. So there is a lot to analyse.

But I don’t think it necessarily makes sense for their relationship at that point. We as the audience can choose to read into it and add context. But that's not really effectively communicated the way that many other conflicts are in the series

#it also would probably help if most of the conversation wasn't spoken entirely through references to a 1960s show #it's not inherently bad but it does make it less comprehensible if you are not the target audience for that #dennis whitaker #frank langdon #the pitt #i respect the podcaster who said that noah wyle probably wanted to use the quote about picking roles #and then engineered a scenario to fit it in

Is Cassie’s name really supposed to be Cassie?

#I assumed it was short for cassandra #but her badge says otherwise #I know people debated over Frank but at least that is a full name #I’ve never heard of cassie being anything but a nickname #can you do that?#cassie mckay #the pitt #genuine question I’m not from the English speaking world is that considered a full enough name to be used regularly?

extremely delighted by the idea of mel having zero gaydar whatsoever and receiving an "lol gay" comment from trinity and genuinely losing sleep over it until she approaches robby with concerns that "a colleague may hold prejudiced opinions against a certain demographic of patients"

mel does go to langdon for advice on this btw and she opens the conversation with "i want to consider her a friend, but i'm rlly worried... have you ever had problems with santos?" and langdon is like WHAT DID SHE TELL YOU. and mel is like "she didn't tell me anything but i'm concerned that there might be.. homophobia...." and it confuses langdon so much he forgets to have a panic attack

So I know the joke for next season is how Santos and Langdon are gonna have to share Mel as a friend. But I just watched an interview with Ayesha and I think we’re really sleeping on what adding Ellis to this dynamic would look like

She’s apparently also a former athlete, matching Santos and Langdon. She’s worked with Santos for almost a year now and probably grown more respect for her. She’s one of few people who seems to have made an effort to be friendly with Mel, supporting her before the deposition. And this season she seems closer with Langdon than I thought, as they have quite a personal conversation regarding Robby.

I think there’s potential for some really fun dynamics here

Yes! I didn’t think too much about it until rewatch because all the pop culture references were distracting, but he seems really comfortable around her. When she asks how he’s doing he gives a pretty honest answer and doesn’t try to end the conversation. And while it’s presented as a joke it’s Ellis that keeps talking and brings up Robby, after which he gives an even more vulnerable answer. The advice he asks regarding Robby is quite personal and implies that she knows both of them relatively well, and understands their dynamic. And she’s the first person he admits that he’s in pain to, after 2 hours. Again willing to be vulnerable. It’s harder to tell how serious she is, but I don’t think she would have answered if she was genuinely annoyed.

He’s worked with Mohan a similar amount of time but they don’t have that type of conversations. And with (s1) Robby and Garcia, who he is close to, they notably seem to not talk to much about personal stuff. So they seem to fall more between regular colleagues and how he talks to Dana. It will be interesting to maybe get more clarity in season 3

#looking at the work dynamics as a whole #there’s something interesting about how garcia seems to try and be one of the guys #and how langdon seems to go to his female colleagues for personal things #most notably dana #while robby this season had multiple deep conversations with his male friends #as well as dana #obviously #she’s the emotional hub as my mother would say #while still avoiding langdon #who wants nothing but have a real conversation with him

I think there’s potential for some really fun dynamics here

#I’m also excited to see more of her interactions woth other characters #and just generally what she’s like when she gets to be there for the entire season #but Ayesha said she was hoping to get more scenes with Patrick and Isa #so I think it would be fun if she gets that #the pitt #parker ellis #trinity santos #melissa king #frank langdon

What I really appreciate about Santos and Langdon is how much they genuinely don't like each other. So often when two charcters are in emotional conflict it gets awkard to pitt them completely against each other because the characters themselves actually do care about the other.

Even with a pair like Robby and Langdon I don’t think they would actually appreciate all the ways the fandom uses them as a vehicle to speak negatively about the other.

But Santos and Langdon could probably have fun reading all the hateposts.

#idk it’s always brothers and ex best friends or parents and children #not here just annoyance from their first conversation #trinity santos #the pitt #frank langdon #michael robinavitch #season 2 Langdon has had enough therapy to know that he shouldn’t #but I still think he would be petty enough lurk in the tag #and santos would just feel validated because half the things said about him are stuff she’s already said #Robby will talk shit about Langdon all day #but in the end he clearly does want to see him and will defend him when it matters

Can’t believe the Pitt managed to have a character give a pep talk to someone with a history of mental illness with the quote “what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger” and it’s actually really sweet and worked well

But it really shows that it’s not necessarily about what she’s saying exactly, but the fact that she’s there for him

#the song is also like the opposite of what he’s experiencing #dude is neither standing taller or better off without his ex (bestie)#why did I remember it as a katy perry song tho?#frank langdon #michael robinavitch #the pitt #melissa king #it also helps that he’s a nerd #who apparently reads philosophy for fun

One thing that I love about Javadi’s rant where she judges everyone is how she’s not wrong but she’s also not correct. And it shows a (realistically) shallow understanding of her coworkers

Most of McKay and Santos issues predate med school. Langdon started taking painkillers because of an injury. Abbott is a veteran, amputee and widower. Even Robby who's issues are the most tied to work also has childhood trauma

Work, the emotional toll that comes with it and the culture that pressures them to overwork are definetly major reasons for their issues and make the preexisting issues worse. Especially for those who worked through the pandemic. But they're also human beings who have lived full lives and have complex motivations

#these are not things she would know about most of them #but that's also the point about it being judgy #she doesn't know why frank is an addict or why trinity is angry #she has a little more insight into mckay #but even there she doesn’t have any more details than us viewers #unless they really bonded off screen #the pitt #victoria javadi #trinity santos #frank langdon #michael robinavitch #jack abbot #cassie mckay #and again I love it #I think it’s realistically something someone would say about their coworkers after a 15 hour shift #because it’s messy and judgy

People have pointed out that Langdon has Zyn in his pocket and now I’m so sad they’re not Scandinavian because I would love another layer to his and Whitakers “little buddy” fight to include the fact that Whitaker is the type to stuff loose tobacco directly under his lip

#frank takes nicotine like city girls in their 20s #by swedish stereotypes #dennis would have grown up around the real stuff #dennis whitaker #frank langdon #the pitt #the pitt season 2 #we technically don’t know that it’s zyn so it could be another brand #but my point stands

I think it would be very healthy for Robby (eventually) to recognize that Langdon’s addiction is fundamentally about him being sick. And often when people who have found a coping mechanism don’t come to you it’s not necessarily about not trusting you, but because they know that if they ask for help they might get it. But that means they have to stop, and if they are not ready that makes it more terrifying

#do I have to add the disclaimer that I love robby feeling guilty over langdon #and do believe that the work environment of the er that he played a part in absolutely played a part in his addiction #and made him less inclined to come forward #but langdon is also a grown adult who’s responsible for his own fuck ups #and suffered for it #life is complicated that way #the pitt #dr robby #michael robinavitch #frank langdon

I love how both the chosen thumbnails for next episode is just people staring at Robby with wide eyes

#I always have to decide if I’m gonna stay up until 2-3 in the morning #or go to sleep early and watch it first thing when I wake up #I actually kinda prefer the second #and it’s ironically faster since you’re not awake for the extra hours #I did watch it at night when it was winter time and it came out at 2 #but 3 is way too late since it means falling asleep at 4 #something about the time change adds and extra hour to the time zone difference even if I can’t understand why

Langdon doesn't know it but McKay is probably the one person at the pitt who he actually could talk to about being scared of almost losing custody of his kids and who would wanna hear it. On a better day at least. Might be good for some perspective as well. She lived through that nightmare and was still able to turn her life around

#santos does not care so it was a mistake to even bring it up #but it clearly bothered him so he should talk to someone #potentially his therapist #Penny and Harrison would also have been around the same age when they got sober respectively #the pitt #frank langdon #cassie mckay
