The Pitt - 2x15 - 9:00 P.M." - Episode Discussion

Great dramatic finish to the season. But the reveal that Digby was the one who stole Whitakers ID badge got a big laugh out of me. I figured the fate of that badge would be something more dramatic rather than funny.

Stick with the credits btw. Don't exit out when they roll.

As a parent, all I can say is, that was the single worst swaddle I have ever seen in my life.

I need a Nightcrawlers season.

My favorite part of this show is how all the “doing my own research” people get exposed as the morons and hypocrites they are. Measles mom and anti mask lady from last year and free birther from this episode.

Whittaker and farm girl are f******.

You Oughta Know performance did not disappoint!

Al Hashimi's story hit really personally. While I was in grad school, I was diagnosed with a brain cyst after I suddenly couldn't read the words on my paper at a conference. My department chair told me to quit. My advisor asked me if it's really a disability if it's invisible. I had to slow my work down for a year or two to regain some semblance of legible writing, and there are still days I can't use my right hand at all and still nights when I've worked so f****** hard during the day that both of them are numb and vibrating. And Al Hashimi's car emotional breakdown is one I've done regularly on the bad days, because no matter how much progress I make or how well I do, it's always going to influence how people see me.

**Baby Jane Doe taking Emmy-winning performance well!**

I can’t believe Baby Jane Doe was the Pittfest Shooter this whole time.

Man I just love the scene with Robbie and Abbot, I’m not crying haha but seriously this last episode was great and might have sealed the deal for another Emmy for Noah Wyle

Al Hashimi breaking down in the car at the end I had 24 flashbacks.

That child birth scene was f****** nuts. How did they make it look and feel so realistic? How do doctors do this on a daily basis?? I had chills all over my body and froze up just watching it on a screen from my bed under a blanket. Can't imagine actually being there and remaining so calm and collected. I also feel so bad for Dr. Al-Hashimi. Seeing her break down like that...that fucked me up. She's such a great doctor, both with her patients and her colleagues. With her wonderful balance between great empathy and great medical expertise she has proven she would've been a great and necessary addition to the ER department. Sucks that she has to leave for something she has no control over. But it also leaves her with no choice but to give up her profession she clearly cares so much about.

I need season 3 now.

They let Isa Briones and Taylor Dearden rock that shit at the end. Feels like Javadi could be the equivalent of Caleb/Kiara next season? Al-Hashimi I really don’t know where they go with her, but I hope she’s back next season. I’ll miss Mohan. Even if she didn’t get a definitive ending, I’m happy that there’s enough there that you can see she’s gonna be okay (although I would have liked a bit more)

Thought for a second Al sashimi was going to have a seizure and drive her car off the parking lot roof. Edit: I'm keeping the typo.

Al-Hashimi crying in the car was heartbreaking. She's an excellent doctor and clearly loves what she does, but I think she knows Robby is right. It's not fair that she can't have the job she wants, but that's life. Sometimes it just doesn't work out the way you want it to.

I think it would be very interesting if they start season 3 at like 2am so we see a bit of night shift before rolling into day shift.

I absolutely LOVE Shaun Hatosy's character and the scene between him and Robby tonight was awesome . "I'm still your emergency contact and I do not want to be contacted".. best line ever! Lol

Baby Jane is irresistible, but if anyone I thinks raising children as a single parent will alleviate depression and/or suicidal ideation, they have another thing coming.

I wanted a proper closure for Dr.Mohan in regards to her dynamics with Robby, and her future, but it felt like they left the ends untied. If her character needs to move on - as residents do rotations - that's fair; I just wanted more material for Supriya Ganesh to really get to sink her teeth into. She still did well with what she was given and I love her character. I suppose I'll hold out some unrealistic hope that she returns in future seasons (although arriving to a completely new crew since the rest of the current lot would also have moved on). Al-Hashimi's backstory is quite riveting and I hope they bump her up to being a crucial "supporting actress" character, alongside Dana. Also, I'm gonna say it: Al-Hashimi is *hot* hot.

Good luck and Godspeed everyone

Dr Robby soothing the baby = soothing himself in the end 🥹

Last season, one of the major themes throughout all the episodes centered around family dynamics – mostly parents and children, and all the ways families are these days. We have our main cast, as a found work family. This season, focus is mostly on the relationships we have with the people we love, and all the different ways and shapes that love can be shared. There are many forms of love. Again, we have our main cast as they struggle with their personal loves, in whatever shape they take and they keep on living like everyone else. Great season, and that final conversation for Abbott and Robbi was phenomenal. Digby ending up with a mannequin and Whitaker's ID badge was hilarious.

If anyone doesn't know, Isa Briones, who plays Dr Santos, can sing super well outside of the show...https://youtu.be/FDJE1lAzrC8?si=dWRYhi0x2zBMSlJ0 Also make sure to keep watching the credits

If I were to be very nitpicky, I would say this season isn't quite as good as S1 IMO. Robby is a compelling character and it makes sense to zone in on him this season as he is on the verge of suicide, but I do think we lost a little by having some of the side character's fall by the wayside, story wise.

Love the constant theme of realism in work life balance. No one is coming to save you, you must save yourself, even in your lowest moments its just another day. Very pleased the ending didn’t end off with any grand gesture as we get none in life.

Robbie is sooooo taking that baby home. Season 3 opening banger = Baby Shark

Nightcrawlers gonna be the night shift spin off series

My wife had a placental abruption, meaning our most recent child was delivered via emergency caesarian. It most definitely wasn't going to be a "wild birth" by any stretch of the imagination, but the thought of both mother and child dying (which could have been the case) is something I actively try to "filter out" of my mind. The baby/birth storyline in this episode was... affecting, to say the least.

This had the same ending as Marty supreme

I really enjoyed it, But it seemed like they really cut down on the actual medical stuff in the second half. It was great seeing the c-section surgery this episode and I want more of that shit. Not less.

Langdon, Mel, and Abbot I’m going to miss you most of all

My wife nearly died with full-blown HELLP syndrome and an emergency c-section. That was very realistic. Especially the sounds. Surprised I didn’t start having nightmares again after watching it.

Really great episode. Couldn't ask for a better way to wrap up Robby's storyline this season, if you ask me.  That scene with Baby Jane Doe and Robby said so much. Amazing writing. I love this show. 

Stuck the landing for sure, wow, great finale.

I think the reason Robby didn't want to talk to Landon is because Landon has everything Robby wants. Marriage with a wife who's stuck with him, kids, career, and the balls to get better no matter what. Meanwhile Robby is too scared to seek therapy.

I just know Abbott was a first shirt.

I feel more meh about this season overall than the first one, which is a solid 10/10 piece of historically excellent television, in my mind. I'm going to complain a little about some things I liked less, because this is Listnook and that's what Listnook is for. I love this show and I am 100% onboard for another season; I really want to know what happens and I hate that there's not another episode next week. But that opinion is common and not new and doesn't need explaining here. There are a lot of relatively minor things that I think add up to make it less satisfying than the first season, and make me feel like the show is moving in a direction I don't like as much: * Al-Hashimi trusting Robby with information about her seizure disorder feels like an odd move for her character, who seems guarded and suspicious of most folks, and also fiercely proud. They don't have enough of a relationship. I also don't like how it makes her just another person for Robby to lecture. They're supposed to be equals and the show was more fun when it treated them that way. (Overall, though, I love her as an addition to the cast.) * Just way too much Robby and Robby being important to everything in this season, compared to last season. I realize that thematically, that's part of what they're going for, but I didn't really enjoy it, because I feel like other character arcs suffered as a result. I love Robby, I love Noah Wyle, but this should be an ensemble show, not the Robby show, and I want that to stay. * Characters I wanted to see more of this season: Mel, all the new cast, McKay, and especially Mohan. I really don't understand why Mohan was cut, and I don't understand why they gave her so little to do, when she's a fascinating character. Her dynamic with Robby also got NO closure, which is fine if we know she's coming back, but feels like a completely dropped plot thread if she's not, and we know she's not. (Something similar happened with Dr. Collins last year, but that was more due to external issues with the actress. I don't see evidence of that happening here.) * The best thing about the Pitt is its ability to create believably complex characters who talk like real humans. That is weakened when we have these Robby-centric monologue scenes, no matter how well-acted and well-written they are. It just doesn't happen like that. (One piece of non-closure I do like, though, is that Robby is not "cured" at the end, though; instead, it's clear he's still Really Going Through It. That's both realistic and good for the character.) * Some parts are starting to feel formulaic; the speeches about What Medicine and Life Are Like especially. It needs to start varying things a bit more in order to keep things from feeling rote by the end of next season. * It's both good and bad that they did not do a Big Event like they did for Pittfest last year. It reduces the excitement/momentum of the show a bit, but it also feels more honest and realistic, and lets you spend more time with the characters. * Yes, I would watch an all-night-shift season or spinoff with a more "badass comedy" than "harrowing drama" tone (as long as it kept the realness of the medicine and pace, and didn't feel like it was mocking the main show). Overall, this is like an 8 or 9 out of 10 for me - which is more than enough for me to keep watching - but some of this stuff felt like mentioning.
