Just a reminder that Melendez was on The Good Doctor since the pilot and was a fan favourite yet:

-he never got a proper backstory

-we never found out anything about his family except one scene with his sister who we never saw before or after that

-he only ever got subplots that were about his romantic relationships

-he only got one singular one-on-one conversation with the lead character in his final season, and didn’t interact with him at all in his final episode.

-we watched them build up melendaire agonizingly slow from season 1 and finally when one of them admits their feelings, the relationship does not develop further and he is killed immediately.

-he was given no more screentime than usual in his last few episodes.

-they spent barely any time on his death which was incredibly rushed and full of plot holes.

-his final episode had four other plots happening in it as well, and his death wasn’t even the biggest thing in it from the writers viewpoint as they put Shaun and Lea getting together as the “final image”.

I am OUT if this isn’t a marketing stunt and he isn’t alive next season.

Okay, so hear me out. I think David Shore has a real opportunity here. Based on that brutal finale, I think he’s either a) a terrible writer who doesn’t give a shit about his fans or b) an evil genius, and I’m hoping it’s option B.

Think about it - the reaction to killing Melendez off has been pretty wild and from what I’ve seen on social media, it’s garnered a lot of attention. I’ve never seen so much anger and upset over the death of a fictional character. Right now, Shore has a lot of people talking about his show, right? But a lot of people are also threatening to stop watching - myself included. 

However, if he were to actually surprise us by having Melendez survive, then Shore will have achieved the best of both worlds - he’ll have shone a spotlight on his show and gotten people talking, while ultimately, not losing any of his viewership. 

I think (well, I hope) there’s a reason why we never saw a conclusive death. There was no code called (sure, maybe he signed a DNR), no one pronounced him, a sheet wasn’t covering his body, etc. Why not give us something definitive if you were really killing off such a major character? 

Anyway, here’s hoping David Shore is actually a mastermind that’s playing us like puppets instead of a heartless monster :)

The backlash is really unbelievable and heart warming. It just validates we are not all crazy and in denial. It was either extremely poorly written and fucked up or we are being punked. Like seriously, people are losing their minds all over social media.

Call me a clown, but I do think the good doctor writers are either up to something OR they will backpedal.

YES I know David Shore and Nick said hes dead.

But the whole situation was SO. FREAKING. WEIRD !! Something was definitely off about it all. No send off for Neil. No mourning. Nobody even cared, and hes a TOP SURGEON OF THEIR HOSPITAL! Morgan and Andrew's didnt even say goodbye to him? Shaun and Park dont even know hes "dead"... ?? Like Shaun had one of the most profound relationships with Neil, as he was the one whose mind was changed after being an ass in s1 towards him. I understand Shaun was busy, obviously, and there wasnt much time in an episode...but for real? That's what they are going with? And Glassman so casual with a shrug, basically telling him he was the best and goodbye.

Plus Claire and Lim? They cried but they weren't even that distraught. They both loved him and they just walk down the hall "We should grab a drink." Like WHAT? And the Melendaire build up...?? Literally 2 episodes it was a shocking cliffhanger when Claire said she loved him to her therapist. They have been building Melendaire a lot... why the fuck even bother building them for the past 5-6 episodes if you knew he was going to die? (Is the Answer to make claire suffer???)

Why even bother with her telling her therapist if she was going to say it to him anyway in 2 episodes on his death bed? Wouldnt that have shocked us more? A total whammy?

So I DO think they might have truly wanted to kill Neil, and if that's the case, the writers really fucked up. How did a young kid stranger get a more emotional and heart felt send off than Dr. MELENDEZ? We have seen some really fucking sad deaths on this show, usually patients. So why when a main character "dies" it uh, is all so rushed and forced and is so casual ??

But heres the thing, nobody pronounced him dead. There wasnt a sheet covering him. Claire was just looking on. I dont know if this is where bad writing comes in for a finality (aka why she hugged Lim and they were like LOL anyway let's go) , or if they PURPOSELY left this open ended to write him in?

Seriously these writers have done some pretty fucking crazy things in this show. But when Melendez is about to go septic they just shrug and are like sorry man.

I think they either have a twist coming in 4.01 or, if they are smart, they will back pedal.

Fans are not just mad. They're angry. Bevause of how POORLY it was done. And how stupid! And nothing made SENSE! In the words of Judge Judy, "If it doesnt make sense then it's not true."

If they do go back on their decision (or pull a twist), heres the thing:

* Neil will have an incredible storyline. He just told Lim he would spend forever with her if he could. He just told Claire he loved her.

* how does that affect Lim and Claire?

* claire and Melendez will need to deal with what they said when they thought he was a goner.

* I wont lie. Making us think hes a goner is really, um, CRUEL. But if they pull a twist in 4.01, you bet your ass I would rise from the fucking ashes and applaud them for bringing him back and making me suffer.

Nick hasnt really tweeted anything crazy or sappy about the show or his character — he definitely has liked and RTd some angry posts from fans, calling the writers dumbasses and how the creative decision was a terrible one. Also, even when we thought for sure Nick was dying, he poked fun and said "I'm not fucking leaving!!" And tweeted things like "You guys thought you could get rid of me that easily?" Also he responds with only emojis and is pretty tight lipped about the amazing things fans are saying to him.

Today he deleted some of the crueler stuff he RT from fans last night, specifically involving hateful language toward the writers.

He did RT this (ImageBelow)

I think David Shore did wanna kill him, but I think he underestimated the back lash here. Maybe they purposely left it a bit fuzzy juuuuuust in case.

Menendez's death ONLY drives claire & lim to the bar. David Shore calls that good writing?

I dont find it a coincidence that EVERYONE watching is quite literally stunned, upset, and severely confused. We all picked up on how weird and wrong things felt.

Even David Shore didnt reveal if theres a time jump in s4 or anything like that when asked. He said he already knew what he was doing with it.

Anyway, this was long. I may be a clown but with no funeral, no declaration of death, no white sheet, etc. That they purposely left this door open. The Good Doctor really wont recover from this, and if they think it's not a big deal they are severely mistaken. If they do keep him dead, and this was his end, then at least we knew for sure they fucked up their own incredibly popular show with a dedicated fanbase.

Writers dont owe fans a happy ending, ever. But they do owe them writing that is respectful toward characters, makes sense, and the act of not killing off fan favorites for shock value.

Bye!
