[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Santos and Javadi seem to be the weak links of this cast.[/quote]

I think the actress playing Santos has done a good job. She convincingly made me really dislike her for the first few episodes and then also made me convincingly think there was more to her as the thing with Langdon unfolded. She's not an endearing character but she's interesting. Similar to McKay, who I also find incredibly grating, but also find believable and and still interested to see where her story goes.

Javadi's character arc, if you can call it that, has been really weak IMO. They kind of stamped her with some characteristics that might drive some drama with her (child prodigy, overbearing mom who works at the hospital, socially awkward) but then have done nothing with them. Each of the other "first day" people has had an identifiable arc, whether it's Whitaker losing that patient early on but then starting to find his footing, Santos acting cocky and alienating everyone only to wind up showing some character and complexity as the day goes on, or King revealing through a series of tricky patients how her sensitivity and empathy both works for her as a doctor and also makes the job harder and more overwhelming. I don't feel like I know exactly where their stories are going but I feel really invested in each of those stories.

With Javadi, I'm just like "eh, it seems like she should have waited to go to med school." She seems nice but overwhelmed and there's no real drama there for me. [/quote]

My problem with Javadi is that she has two reactions: 1. I'm a deer in the headlights and too flustered to do anything but stammer, and 2. I'm utterly repulsed and disgusted and will look at you like the biggest stanchest just curled up my nose.

Two. That's it. [/quote]
