Rewatching 'Private Practice': "In Which Addison Finds the Magic" 5/113
As a new segment on WhatSamWatches, I will now be doing more informal reviews/commentaries on what I'm watching. And it'll include shows I'll be rewatching just because I feel like it. I know I just did a review on Private Practice not that long ago but I'm not ready for it to be over. So I'm binging the show from the beginning all over again. So since I rewatched the second episode last week, we're now onto the third episode of Private Practice.
In Which Addison Finds the Magic
It's strange how Violet's so hung up on her ex, Allan, for pretty much all of season one. And we never learn much about him or their relationship.
Another thing we never learn much about is Pete's relationship with his late wife, Anna. All we really know is that Pete met Anna when he took time off from Doctors Without Borders. Then, instead of going back, he got married and settled in LA. But somewhere along the way, Pete ends up hating her. And just as a reminder, we learn all this via Violet and Meg, Pete's girlfriend in season two.
I wonder if the writers ever considered showing us flashbacks of Pete's life. Or any other characters' lives before they joined the practice. Namely, Violet, Naomi, Cooper, and Sheldon. We've seen plenty of Addison's past. And we've seen glimpses of the Bennett's, Amelia, and Charlotte's pasts. But we only know about Violet, Cooper, and Sheldon's pasts from what they've said to other characters.
Addison and the Rain
I would never have the confidence to just leave my things outside like Addison. But then again, I do live in Seattle where it rains a lot.
I find it odd that Addison didn't at least wear a sweater or a light jacket. She knew it was raining but she wore a purple blouse. Plus, it must be raining pretty hard for her to be that soaked. Assuming she drove and didn't walk.
I just realized Addison changes her outfit. But it makes sense since her other clothes soaked through. And it'd be pretty unprofessional to see a patient wet. So, even though her outfit choice was questionable considering the rain, at least she brought a change of clothes.
