Stranger Things Easter Egg

In season 5 episode 4, the laboratory building alarm is actually the Classic Alarm from the iOS Clock app. Hopper was two squeezes away from a snakey death, and I’m laughing, half convinced I’m trapped in an absurd dream.

Quick question to fellow Stranger Things gays, but are y’all just as confused as I am about how Robin’s dating? The girl lives in a military quarantine in nowhere Midwest during the HEIGHT of the AIDS epidemic, and she’s just… making out with her girlfriend… at her work… in an UNLOCKED room…

…

What???

At BEST, her girlfriend would be fired. At worst, they’d be outed, harassed, and possibly hate crimed. Their reputations would be permanently ruined, and they’d be stuck for who knows how long with people amped with pent up anxiety just looking for a target.

Like seriously, Robin plans a date to Enzo’s, the romantic hot spot in Hawkins. ENZO’S.

The fact that Robin has not been outed when she has the gay survival instincts of a wet Pom Pom is genuinely absurd.

Currently watching Stranger Things season 5 episode 4, and one the most unrealistic parts of Max’s storyline is that she sees that her body’s in a coma and goes, “yup I should probably wait this one out”.

GIRL. You are an uninsured American with dust for cash, zero family, and enough classified secrets to stage a soap opera. RUN.

a collection of the pitt characters from s1 🩺

[abigails-ear]

Only been watching The Pitt for a few days but Mel King is THE best autistic character ever written in a medical drama. She doesn't "make connections no one else can" or "just see things differently" or any other Savant with Special Abilities stereotypical bullshit, she's a resident physician who's exactly as intelligent and capable as any other resident physician in the same year. She hates unnecessary yelling because it's loud and annoying, not because she's completely incapable of handling conflict. She usually keeps her stimming subtle enough to hide but sometimes she can't. She loves having a furry critter to pet. She accommodates an autistic patient by lowering the lights and closing the doors because she understands the sensory nightmare of an active medical setting. She speaks in a straightforward and honest way but she isn't an overtly rude inconsiderate asshole. She misses some jokes and takes things too literally on occasion but she does have a sense of humor and she is funny. She speaks up against misinformation and parent panic about autism and other developmental disabilities. She has emotions. She looks at a video of a lava lamp on her phone to chill. Doctor Mel King you have my entire heart

ISA????!!

The cinematographers filming Stranger Things season 5:

[tinyfaceanalysis]

So in an effort to recall The Pitt’s season 2 premiere, I stumbled across the Entertainment Weekly spread. Most of it’s to be expected - Langdon is on a growth arch (yay!), Robby is allergic to therapy, and Dana is back (thank god) - but then I get to Mel. And Mel…

…

I’m sorry what?

When I tell you I gasped out loud I am not joking. Because it would be one thing if it was Dr. “totally under the legal weeks” Robby, or Dr. “I will kill a man” Santos, or even Dr. “prescription drugs who” Langdon. But Mel? Mel the autistic legend? Mel, the resident who performed a perfect crike on day one??? I genuinely do not understand.

My best guess is that Mel had an oversight with a pediatric patient due to stress and the child died, hence the lawsuit. But even then, I just can’t imagine her ever intentionally harming a patient, even if they deserved it.

I guess I’ll just have to wait for season 2 for answers (jerks 😒).

I can pretty much guarantee you the next one will be easier. I really fucking hope so.

THE PITT 1.15 ⟶ “9:00 PM” (2025)

[tinyfaceanalysis]

I too would break into hysterical laughter. Sometimes things are so fucked up it’s either that or cry, so why not both?

[detailspecialist]

santos is so kind.

[tinyfaceanalysis]

Santos is the epitome of “kind but not nice”. Nice will offer you an extra umbrella with a smile. Kind will chuck it at your head.

Tagging - Pitt Edition

You may have noticed that I never tag Mel as "Dr. King", and that's because, as an American, I literally cannot imagine anyone but Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when I hear it. Also, the idea of scrolling for Mel content and being slapped in the face with "I have a dream" is as hilarious as it is incorrect. We already have to compete with Brad Pitt in this fandom, we can't have thee Dr. King too.

special sauce scene my beloved

[tinyfaceanalysis]

God, the way Mel's face scrunches into a fit of anxiety at the end, honestly heartbreaking.

And also, c'mon Mel. You haven't accidentally stabbed your superior, unnecessarily drilled into a patients head, or been cursed by the hospital gods that be to be doused in every fluid imaginable. You're doing just fine.

favorite trope: when two characters who have only ever antagonized each other team up as a sign that something is Deeply Wrong

[tinyfaceanalysis]

Same! It reminds me of the classic "class clown gets serious" trope, where the absence of bite/humor is literally jarring.

[sunflowermp4]

famous last words

[tinyfaceanalysis]

I love Mel's version of, "Whittaker, respectfully, what the fuck??" 😂

I also love Santos's open mouthed gawking in the background. Me too, Santos, me too.

If you’re a The Pitt blogger who doesn’t get involved with discourse (e.g. spending all your time disliking or hating on the show, a character, ship, tropes, kinks, etc.), please like and/or reblog so I can follow you!

My only other stipulation is that you must be 18 or older!

*I updated this post to be more specific.*

[tinyfaceanalysis]

Sup! 25 year old nerd here reporting for duty 🫡

I do occasionally dip into ships (so for the Pitt that would be Mel and Langdon), but I’ve never cared enough about a ship to make it my whole personality. So if you followed me you may see some ship related content like a fanfic rec or analysis, but I’m not gonna like launch a hate campaign if someone disagrees with me. Frankly, I’m too tired for that bullshit 😅

Anyways, nice meeting you! I’m sure I’ll see you pop up in the fandom 😁

maybe fav scene of ep 10. perlah calling dana "bud", dana smirking and cracking jokes with a fucked up eye, collins finally letting herself rest

[tinyfaceanalysis]

My favorite part about this scene is the ease between Collins and Dana. And as someone who has worked my own share of fucked up days, I appreciate how they too find humor in the absurdity of it all.

[gentlier]

I’m obsessed with the way Robby looks at Dr. Shen every time he checks on him in triage. His look is a mix of shock and awe. He’s clearly impressed with Dr. Shen’s skill and his determination, but he’s also confused and impressed with his calm, cool, collected demeanor, his ability to crack jokes, and make casual comments about the weather, sipping an iced coffee as he pronounces people DOA or critical.

Imagine how unhinged someone has to be for Robby to be the one going, “Yeah, I have no fucking idea how to read this guy, but damn it, I’m going to keep trying.”

[tinyfaceanalysis]

I fear I too would become a Dr. Shen if I was in this situation, which is why we should all thank god I wasn’t gifted with functioning legs, because otherwise I’d be hysterically laughing around a bunch of corpses.
