& an actual representation of me leaving The Good Doctor fandom after season finale

[stardecker]

Call me a clown, but I do think the good doctor writers are either up to something OR they will backpedal.

YES I know David Shore and Nick said hes dead.

But the whole situation was SO. FREAKING. WEIRD !! Something was definitely off about it all. No send off for Neil. No mourning. Nobody even cared, and hes a TOP SURGEON OF THEIR HOSPITAL! Morgan and Andrew's didnt even say goodbye to him? Shaun and Park dont even know hes "dead"... ?? Like Shaun had one of the most profound relationships with Neil, as he was the one whose mind was changed after being an ass in s1 towards him. I understand Shaun was busy, obviously, and there wasnt much time in an episode...but for real? That's what they are going with? And Glassman so casual with a shrug, basically telling him he was the best and goodbye.

Plus Claire and Lim? They cried but they weren't even that distraught. They both loved him and they just walk down the hall "We should grab a drink." Like WHAT? And the Melendaire build up...?? Literally 2 episodes it was a shocking cliffhanger when Claire said she loved him to her therapist. They have been building Melendaire a lot... why the fuck even bother building them for the past 5-6 episodes if you knew he was going to die? (Is the Answer to make claire suffer???)

Why even bother with her telling her therapist if she was going to say it to him anyway in 2 episodes on his death bed? Wouldnt that have shocked us more? A total whammy?

So I DO think they might have truly wanted to kill Neil, and if that's the case, the writers really fucked up. How did a young kid stranger get a more emotional and heart felt send off than Dr. MELENDEZ? We have seen some really fucking sad deaths on this show, usually patients. So why when a main character "dies" it uh, is all so rushed and forced and is so casual ??

But heres the thing, nobody pronounced him dead. There wasnt a sheet covering him. Claire was just looking on. I dont know if this is where bad writing comes in for a finality (aka why she hugged Lim and they were like LOL anyway let's go) , or if they PURPOSELY left this open ended to write him in?

Seriously these writers have done some pretty fucking crazy things in this show. But when Melendez is about to go septic they just shrug and are like sorry man.

I think they either have a twist coming in 4.01 or, if they are smart, they will back pedal.

Fans are not just mad. They're angry. Bevause of how POORLY it was done. And how stupid! And nothing made SENSE! In the words of Judge Judy, "If it doesnt make sense then it's not true."

If they do go back on their decision (or pull a twist), heres the thing:

* Neil will have an incredible storyline. He just told Lim he would spend forever with her if he could. He just told Claire he loved her.

* how does that affect Lim and Claire?

* claire and Melendez will need to deal with what they said when they thought he was a goner.

* I wont lie. Making us think hes a goner is really, um, CRUEL. But if they pull a twist in 4.01, you bet your ass I would rise from the fucking ashes and applaud them for bringing him back and making me suffer.

Nick hasnt really tweeted anything crazy or sappy about the show or his character — he definitely has liked and RTd some angry posts from fans, calling the writers dumbasses and how the creative decision was a terrible one. Also, even when we thought for sure Nick was dying, he poked fun and said "I'm not fucking leaving!!" And tweeted things like "You guys thought you could get rid of me that easily?" Also he responds with only emojis and is pretty tight lipped about the amazing things fans are saying to him.

Today he deleted some of the crueler stuff he RT from fans last night, specifically involving hateful language toward the writers.

He did RT this (ImageBelow)

I think David Shore did wanna kill him, but I think he underestimated the back lash here. Maybe they purposely left it a bit fuzzy juuuuuust in case.

Menendez's death ONLY drives claire & lim to the bar. David Shore calls that good writing?

I dont find it a coincidence that EVERYONE watching is quite literally stunned, upset, and severely confused. We all picked up on how weird and wrong things felt.

Even David Shore didnt reveal if theres a time jump in s4 or anything like that when asked. He said he already knew what he was doing with it.

Anyway, this was long. I may be a clown but with no funeral, no declaration of death, no white sheet, etc. That they purposely left this door open. The Good Doctor really wont recover from this, and if they think it's not a big deal they are severely mistaken. If they do keep him dead, and this was his end, then at least we knew for sure they fucked up their own incredibly popular show with a dedicated fanbase.

Writers dont owe fans a happy ending, ever. But they do owe them writing that is respectful toward characters, makes sense, and the act of not killing off fan favorites for shock value.

Bye!

TGD writers: *kill Melendez*

Melendez stans: Sorry, but this does not - I repeat, DOES NOT - support our emotional narrative

The Good Doctor S3E20 - I Love You

Melendez & Claire recap

WTF ,Why did they kill Melendez off the show ..It’s the very Bad choice ??

[tonysstressball]

Hmmm let’s see how The Good Doctor treated its women and POC characters so far:

Jessica disappeared without an explanation and no one ever mentioned that she existed again (surely she would come to Neil’s funeral but then again I doubt Neil will get a funeral)

Carly disappeared as soon as she wasn’t needed as a girlfriend anymore, again, without an explanation

Claire was sexually harassed, made to live with her abusive mother, made to become a completely different character over the death of her abusive mother on the day that was supposed to be her most successful, she was always overlooked, she was always belittled for being empathetic, and now that she finally had a chance to be happy, they kill her love interest

Neil gets killed without any reason, without any closure for his storyline, he had so much more potential as a character and he was stupidly written off for drama

Jared got fired for protecting his girlfriend from an abusive doctor. That same abusive doctor got a bigger pay for what he did. Sure, we saw that Claire is trying to raise a suit against him, but that was a short scene and it was never mentioned again because who cares? Not the writers

Park was never fleshed out or given anything to do really and now he was written off just like that

Morgan progressed so much as a person, only to lose everything as a result and, shockingly, she was written off without anyone caring

Sometimes I forget that Andrews exists

Where is Alegra btw

There’s probably more but fuck David Shore wither way

The End

[helcnsharpe]

this was by far the cruelest thing david shore could have ever conjured. I came out of my 3 year tumblr hiatus for this bullshit just to let it be known on every platform from youtube to instagram to twitter to fucking tumblr how fucking mad i am.

NEIL MELENDEZ DESERVES TO LIVE. CLAIRE BROWNE DESERVES TO BE HAPPY. MELENDAIRE DESERVED MORE.

And the way David Shore baited us to come back to this show to watch a relationship, a one-of-a-kind relationship built on trust, compassion and genuine love. That is so rare to find in characters and it was written to effortlessly for three seasons. It wasn’t laced with toxicity and codependency. It was refreshing to see a healthy relationship that developed for THREE WHOLE SEASONS.

If the writers have even a fraction of a brain cell, they will make 3x20 a dream sequence, have Shaun save the day with a liver transplant or something of the sort. I truly don’t care, but they cannot disrespect Melendez (and Nick) like that. Not with that half-baked sendoff to a top-three cast member.

Melendez deserved so much more. Melendaire deserved so much more. Most importantly, we and the actors deserved more. Fuck the Good Doctor writers. I literally could not give less of a damn about Shaun and Lea. Bring back Melendez if you have even half of a mind.

Me trying to explain how Melendez is still alive and this was a cruel twist and the actor/writer is just tricking us

Listen, the last two years have been pretty shit for a lot of popular romantic pairings and it has got to stop. The cynicism and tone-deafness perpetuated in these narratives is creating an environment that is not only actively harmful and destructive but also conducive to emotional/mental distress for consumers. At the end of the day, entertainment as escapism has become a cornerstone of our modern society. Weaponizing it for the sake of shock value or exploitation is shameful. Simply put, messy interludes demanded by nihilistic or misanthropic notions will not stand the test of time. We are all inherently drawn to the delicious tension of romantic relationships that challenge our favorites to evolve into something more. It is a rich narrative tool that shapes character arcs and allows the audience to find themselves in the story. Cultivating these relationships that resonate with your audience in a healthy manner will keep them consistently returning. Betraying or disrespecting said relationships and, in turn, your consumers in service of the scandal will not. So, for the sake of your craft, I beg current and future television and filmmakers, producers, showrunners, and writers to do better.
