I really want to explore 'Robby as an unreliable narrator' arc.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying he's lying or consciously twisting facts. To a certain extent, everyone can be an unreliable narrator; our opinions and internal dialogues are often shaped by incomplete information and personal biases. And unfortunately, trauma reshapes the brain's networks and skewing how we interpret events around us.

But wouldn't it be fascinating to zoom in on the small details?

He's a well-experienced emergency medicine physician, with decades of experience, yet he missed all the telltale signs of Langdon's addiction.

We all know Robby will blame Leah's tragedy on himself: he should have been a better physician, he should have been at the festival, he should have been more gentle and considerate with Jake. When there's absolutely nothing he can do to save it -- sorry, mate, we just ran out of time machines.

On the rooftop, he told Jack: he broke. He froze. He wasn't there when everyone needed him (which is absolutely not accurate).

He saw Adamson as mentor and almost a father figure (he grew up with his grandmother and that parental figure was most likely absent). So far, we've experienced Adamson entirely through Robby's eyes; but from someone like Dana, his influence feels more neutral.

What if we stepped outside Robby's POV -- how would the story shift?

At times, it feels as though Dana and Jack are his empathetic confidants, offering him a safe, compassionate space to process his experiences. And I guess that's why I locked in on those three right from the beginning.

Parker: A little while ago someone, someone important, asked me to think about why I do what I do. So I thought about it, and I was working really hard at it, and I realised, all of a sudden… I don't know. I know why we do what we do. And I love that. But I don't.

I've been this way since I was a kid. I don't feel things the way other people do. So I was using their feelings to look at mine. Everyone kept asking me why I was doing this… but they wouldn't let me answer, they just kept guessing why I was doing it. Always my feelings through them. And then I thought, "Do I even know what I want?"

So I had to get away. Because I do have feelings. One a lot. It's so strong inside my head. Anger. At people like you, who think, what did you say, "The strong do what they will, the weak do what they must."

Anyway, now I'm strong and you're weak. So what am I going to do, and why am I going to do it? Because that was the whole point of all this.

I had to be totally alone, away from all their influence, all their good influence, so I could get to this moment right here, where I genuinely do not know what I'm going to do.

Eliot: You make the choice. And that way you know who you are. No matter who that is… I got your back.

Why didn't anybody mention that he identified outed as neurodivergent!!! That's a groundshaking revelation, especially when it happens in your 50s!

"When I reverse engineer that back [when] being in school, it just tracks that if I had any interest in it, then I had the ability to deep dive focus on it like a laser beam. And if I didn't, then getting me to pay attention was just like pulling teeth. So, yes, my math and science were difficult struggles for me. "I appreciate them, I'm more interested in them now than then. [what changed is] I think I stopped looking at things in a linear way and started looking at systems and looking at things and how there's cross-pollination and interconnectedness and all these different things. You take a drama class and they talk about the mathematics in a poem. And suddenly they unlock math for me in a different way, or I want to learn more about aviation, so suddenly physics doesn't intimidate me anymore because it's a goal to get to understanding the mechanics of flight. So it had to align with something I was actually interested in."

#noah wyle #noah unfiltered #nyas #Lads and gents and beautiful people in between we finally had it he’s one of us.#nd peer review almost never misses #Tbh Mike dismissed his experience - diverting it to the education system is just... What??? Your NT mind amazes me.#I get your point but you guys are talking about HIS lived experience not macrolevel structure not education system -- not the point dude???#He’s opening up about something life-altering that went unnoticed without understanding and support for 54 freaking years #something that’ll completely reshape his world #and Mike’s just like “Yeah now let’s talk about the education system as a failure.”#ASD talks #JFC.

hello? excuse me??

autistic people can have friends who care about them & vice versa and share deep, meaningful conversations connections or just simply hang out and do shit or do nothing. It might be difficult to find them sometimes, but it’s definitely not impossible. To survive med school, the VA, the Pitt, be the primary care taker, and everything else…

and then the fandom acts like she had absolutely no friend and no one to rely on?

really???

#her sister okay? best friend no. one #have some accountability -- you neurotypical folks need to admit it -- you consistently misrepresent autism when you try to write about it #if you don't know you can always ask???#it's fucking hard to find good good friend but it's not something we can't achieve??#because unlike you - we seek deep meaningful connections #but we have to fucking survive your world and your rules and put so much effort into it #high masking autism okay? can't fucking survive and function without learned - painfully - how you people thinks and operates #this fandom and its freaking ableism and lack of empathy #the pitt #melissa king #actually autistic #asd talks

Jacqueline (RT editor): Do you think she'll [Mel] ever get to the point where she can be one of the many ships of the Pitt? Cuz there are many.

Taylor: I don't think of her as thinking about sex and sexuality at all. [...] I think more than anything it's just loneliness and wanting to find someone to share things with. But romantic companionship is not necessary. It's just companionship in general, companionship is what's necessary.

Well thank you ma'am!
