[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What the bell does Garcia see in Santos and vice versa? They both seem like b@tches![/quote]

They’re both attractive. And tough. Isn’t that enough? It’s not romance. [/quote]

Garcia is pretty on the rare occasion when she smiles but o don’t think Santos is the least bit attractive. [/quote]

She has a pretty bad underbite, so her jaw and chin protrude too much. It’s very distracting and the character she plays is so abrasive. Not a good combo.

She’s the perfect foil to Langdon, he has an easiness about him, he’s male and good looking, but he has a flaw. She hates him for his weakness. Her looks,
 and hair scream scrapper, she’s where she is because she’s hard on herself.

She’s jealous of his perceived privilege that’s why she turned him in.

She also turned him in because he was a drug addict who was stealing meds from the hospital and from patients.[/quote]

Yeah, it's an interesting dynamic, she did the right thing, he should have been fired and arrested, but he's also super nice and highly competent, while she's neither of those things. [/quote]

I agree Langdon is nice/charming and Santos is rude/abrasive.

Langdon's charm is an achilles heel though -- it's often a trait of narcissists, abusers and addicts, because it enables them to get away with things other people can't.

Santos' rudeness is a secret strength because in certain situations it can enable her to tell truth to power, as she did when she reported Langdon.

I think Santos is actually a good doctor having a shitty day, and that she's an R2 which is a tough residency year with a very heavy workload. Langdon's competency is, to some degree, simply a function of having been doing it for longer. I don't get the sense that he's a good doctor and Santos is a bad doctor. Would a good doctor siphon Ativan out of a drug vial, replace it with saline, and then blithely tell a subordinate that "sometimes you have to double the dose for it to kick in"?

I find their storyline fascinating because it really challenges preconceptions and interpretations. Langdon is easy to like but did something weak and horrible. Santos is easy to hate and did something brave and impressive. The show encourages you to look at them in different lights (as a colleague, as a patient, as a boss) and the light is always shifting.[/quote]
