Also then maybe the people who don’t like her will stop watching and leave this thread so they will no longer litter this thread with their churlish comments about a perfectly good character who adds emotional depth to the series.

You also have too much time on your hands. lol.

The prob I also had is that who can go through that much intensity in an 8 he shift day in and out without a nervous breakdown?! Holy shit - it's just too much drama and heavy to watch and it's just a show for me - it lost me when it breaks down the time frame like that. I also do not believe any busy ER doc would have taken the compassion to do what Noah's character did like give the brain dead teens parents that much time to absorb his death by ordering brain scan tests and what not. I simply did not believe the stories the way h believed them on ER. It just seemed like it reflects everything wrong in todays world in that it's telling the same story as ER but for me it's a complex bore - the original was so much more compelling because it was easier somehow. This is just so complex it bored me.

I hear you. I also don’t buy that a busy ER doc would ask to attend the funeral of a kid he literally just met that day. Or sit in a room and cry like that. It felt a little like ER but different. And not as interesting. I want to see more relationship stuff.

This isn't that kind of show, so it sounds like it's not directed to you as an audience. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but all the interviews indicate this is aimed at healthcare workers (many of whom are decidedly not interested in the drama and relationship stuff in medical shows), and it has really hit home for them.

It's different from pretty much all other medical shows. Some people who like other medical shows will like it, but some won't. That is sort of by design.

I disagree. They actually have started showing some glimpses of relationships - Javadi and Mateo. Santos and Garcia? I think they will be moving towards that in the future.

I mean, of course they speak to each other and have some level of relationship. This is not a show about robots. But it's never going to be designed around that primarily, a'la Grey's Anatomy.

Well Javadi asked Matteo out early on and he said no. Then she did some bad ass moves during the big casualty event and then he agreed. I think something is brewing.

I just finished and was really drawn into almost all the characters, although I could have done with somewhat less of the aftermath of the shooting

I read somewhere that leaving Collins out of the last four episodes was purposeful, that they were removing the important people in Robbie’s life one by one, which led to his breakdown.

I actually discovered the show because I was watching Hacks, using my sister’s Max password. I almost never watch anything on there.

Which characters were you not drawn to?

Makes me concerned next season, they’ll just go ridiculous with the storylines.

Jake was a huge mistake. There was absolutely zero believability there. And his attitude afterwards towards Robby seemed over dramatic.

I think there was a bit of a casting error there. Not that the actor was bad, but something about his face seemed both baby-faced and somehow an old man at the same time. He didn't *seem* like a kid. To sell responding in the way he did, he'd have to pull off being very young and naive -- but he looks like he's in his 40s and peeved about his mortgage. He just can't sell it the way he should.

Agreed. The character wasn't the problem, the actor was. He was the only one I thought didn't blend seamlessly into their role. Everyone else I believe had never been anyone but their character. Jake was awkward and wooden and I couldn't have cared less about him, which I hated because I cared a lot about Dr. Robby.

That’s exactly how I felt about Dr. Collins!

They made that joke at my expense (I’m 24 hour all Collin’s, all the time fan) and I thought it was a little funny. It’s okay!

The writers/producers know her character didn’t connect with the audience and was an absolute flop. Rumor is she’s not returning. Thank God!

What joke is that? The only one who keeps making a sort of joke is you with your “the next season needs to be 9 hours of Dr. Collins” shtick. No one finds it funny. Everyone thinks you are a complete loon defending a fictional character and railing on people who don’t like her. You aren't the thread police. And fictional characters don’t need defending. Anyone can have any opinion they want when it comes to any of the characters. Get a life.

Dr. Collins is boring. Glad she wasn’t on the last 4 episodes. It was so much better without her!

I'll join you in this wish. Maybe we can also get a webseries prequel: How did Dr. Collins end up leaving high finance for medical school?

And it is creepy and bizarre how we can be having a discussion that has nothing to do with Dr. Collins, and then someone has to immediately question whether they like her or not.

I have literally never posted about Dr. Collins, other than one time identifying her as one of the senior ED residents.

Your obsession blinds you to what's actually going on. Pitiful.

I really liked her and I hope she comes back. And I'm not the 24hour Collins poster. She brought a different quieter energy that helped balance out the staff.

I think they would be cute together but I did find it strange that she asked him out on her first day of work. Didn't seem realistic.
