Dr Robby being deeply connected to his Judaism but saying he’s not sure if he believes in god. Someone in that writers room is a Jew because that’s like most of the Jews I know. Robby wears his Jewish star every day and uses the shema like a mantra to calm his panic attacks and he 100% is Jewish and loves being Jewish and believes in what Jews stand for - most importantly taking part in tikkun olam and saving lives because he knows that every human life is its own world and saving one is like saving the whole world. I literally cannot describe enough how central being Jewish is to Dr Robby’s character he is so special to me. This is what we need. No more money hungry shylocks or neurotic nebishy Howard wolowitz-esque characters. Just real people who are Jewish and whose Judaism informs the way they see the world and how they act. Dr Robby, or should I say DR MICHAEL ROBINAVITCH, is the hero of this show and he’s jewish and it’s not in spite of but BECAUSE OF his Judaism that he is the heroic ER doctor that he is.

The one bad thing about blocking liberally is that when you see what looks like a cool blog, and you see you blocked them, you don’t know if it’s because they annoyed you on a bad day or if they’re fucking racist or something.

Love isn't just for lovers. It's in friends, fleeting moments, family, the breeze, your favorite meal. Loving life in all its forms makes the heart lighter.

Honestly I need more info on the Pope/Cath relationship.

they’re so complicated.

Smurf says that Cath followed Pope around. by 16 Cath is with Baz.

she’s comfortable enough to sleep with him pre jail. And for him to be around Lena pre jail to the point her daughter mourns his loss for SIX MONTHS at the age of 2/3.

But by season 1, she can’t stand to be in the room with him and says she’s afraid of him (obviously, no blame here she’s correct).

so what was that relationship? Pope lists it as friendship, only person not afraid to be in the room with him. He deff thought it was love as well.

is it 3 years of overthinking in solitude and torture? Is it accurate how they were as teens? Is it wishful thinking the whole time??? Is she avoiding whatever she might have felt for pope?

I’m so sad we don’t get actual answers to these questions. Whenever I think I’ve decided on an interpretation I go “but wait…”

In the way that Robby embodies the sun, Jack embodies the moon.

Jack as the main night attending, he represents the moon literally in his job as well.

The moon representing mystery, Jack is continuously kept closed off to the audience, with his background being largely left beyond specific facts every season.

The moon also represents yearning, not just in a romantic sense but for more. This relates to the symbolism of change and transformation. Where Jack is already in therapy, even when he is self-destructive he is aware that recovery is a process that takes effort and time.

The moon is also often related to secrets and revealing of them. It is Jack that forces reality to Robby, it is Jack who sees Robby for who he truly is flaws and all.

I think it's actually interesting that Robby didn't read the package Baran sent. He absolutely should have because that's actually a huge courtesy! (and yeah that's his own fault)

I think it speaks volumes of how anything upper management related he will not engage with it. But also it speaks to HOW BAD he's doing.

I think if he had the mental bandwith to engage with it, he would have had opinions he would have argued and spotted flaws early, especially because we KNOW overall he cares about workers rights/the systematic pressure of upper on its staff.

But Robby is not mentally well, he 100% figured that he just wouldn't have to deal with it for 3 months (or at all....). But now he has to deal with it and it's annoying to him.

When discussing this with @darthdisasterous in their post.

I can't help but think about Robby's tendencies to be self-sacrificing as a form of self-harm, especially when tied to the job where he places his identity.

Shen is new hire (a year and a month as of S2). It is likely that Shen WAS the solution to constant nagging for another attending. Shen clearly prefers nights, so they adhere to the accommodation, and Robby deemed Jack's need for ease of workload above his own (as both would be solo attendings).

Robby could have easily stipulated that Shen is on days.

The likelihood of upper paying for another attending is slim, especially if they were gunning fo Al-Hashimi (*as a replacement. I also doubt they intended to get arid of her after 3 months so SHE would be the second attending). BUT I can't help but wonder if it is also a contributing factor in Collin's move - you lose good staff trying to save money.

But to maintain Shen's preference and ease Jack's schedule, Robby takes on a steadily heavier workload. And that is a very specific co-worker dynamic that leads to burnout faster.
