[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like they’re foreshadowing something is going to happen to Robbi when he leaves for sabbatical like they’re going to have an incoming for a motorcycle accident and it’s going to be him, but then he wouldn’t have a main role in the next season so maybe I’m reading too much into it.

I think something bad is going to happen to the young nurse… maybe the prisoner escapes and gets to her.  [/quote]

It[b]'s not that kind of show. It's not Law & Order or some true crime melodram[/b]a.[/quote]

You don't know that.[/quote]

Yes, I do. If you listen or read interviews with the creators of the show, you understand they are really seeking to show a realistic portrayal of what it's like to work in a healthcare environment like this post-Covid. Also, for legal reasons, they need to distinguish the show from ER (which was more realistic than other medical shows of the era but still pretty soapy and featured plot lines like a nurse from the ED winding up there after a suicide attempt and lots of dramatic romantic entanglements). The shows creators, including Noah Wyle, are being sued by Michael Crichton's estate on the theory that the Pitt is an ER reboot which Crichton's widow refused to okay. So they have a very good reason to avoid going in a more soapy, melodramatic direction -- it helps them show that the DNA of the show is distinct from ER and therefore not an IP violation.[/quote]

The show is not ER. ER does not have a lock on all future shows about emergency rooms. That’s incredibly obnoxious. Noah Wylie is allowed to act in other roles that are not specifically as “Dr Carter,” even if those roles involve playing an ER physician. That is so horribly grasping and ungenerous. The younger generations don’t know what ER is and could not give a crap about it. And people my age have seen a number of shows about hospitals. This really makes me mad.

I liked ER and I love The Pitt. The acting is great, all the characters are a terrific spectrum, and the cases are realistic and all over the place. I really look forward to the new episode each week. [/quote]
