[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Jake is a setup character from the start of the show, and it's clear that he's going to be what cracks Robby open (which is how it plays out). Kinda trite, but not unbelievable.[/quote]

I like how you write this. People can have a close relationship with anyone - former teacher, neighbor, barista, bus driver… but Jake is just not compelling to me. That doesn’t mean I cannot have empathy for different types of relationships.

Maybe it’s the acting. Maybe it’s the writing. But I do not connect with Jake at all so Dr. Rauby’s desperate attempt to save Lea and then the meltdown seemed meh. I also don’t care about Langdon that much but the upset Dr. Rauby felt when he “lost” Langdon to the drugs seemed so much more real. The care he has for Dr Collins seems way more genuine. With Jake it’s almost like he’s *trying* to portray he’s such a standup guy who adores his stepson more than he actually feels it or more than the show is able to demonstrate it.  [/quote]

I'm fine with the Jake storyline, but I like your point about how his emotions over Langdon and Collins are more authentic.

But I think that's why he was sobbing at the end ... it was an absolutely terrible day in a very stressful career. [/quote]
