This! Entire! Season! Is! One! Shift!
Things that are brand new for us are not new for the characters. We have no idea what Robby was like pre Covid, pre Pittfest, pre anything. We don’t know how he “normally” treats people. We don’t know his true teaching style. We don’t know how many patients Langdon was taking drugs from. We don’t know how Dana was in the months after Pittfest. We don’t know how horrible Trinity has been treated by coworkers in the months since Langdon left. We don’t know as much about characters as we think we do!!
Because it’s one SHIFT. Not even a full 24 hours!
So what does it say about your bias if you watch Robby yelling at Samira for a panic attack and say you want him to die? Or watching Trinity get a tongue lashing from Garcia when we have no idea what a daily shift has been like since she reported Langdon and saying she needs to get over it? Or even being mad at Samira for having a panic attack at work when we don’t know how long she’s been dealing with that external stress?
We don’t know anything beyond the walls of this hospital for 12-15 hours. That’s it. We don’t know what goes on at home, with family members, with romantic partners. The writers and producers themselves have said that at the end of this season, we’re really only going to have spent two work shifts with these characters! Barely a full 24 WORKING hours!
We don’t know!! So stop acting like we do!!
