[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Langdon didn’t get off with a pass. Santos is sanctimonious with the limited perspective of youth. Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone screws up. The majority of people deserve a second chance. He’s trying to make right, he’s not perfect.

Life is not black or white, it’s a lot of gray[/quote]

I actually agree with this but I would apply it to BOTH Langdon and Santos. Langdon deserves a second chance if he's willing to put in the work and follow the presumably very strict rules of his return. But Santos also deserves a chance to correct some of her behavioral mistakes, yet many people absolutely hate her and refuse to see how this situation could be understandably hard for her (or that she really did do something brave and worthwhile in reporting Langdon in the first place). As you point out, she's young and inexperienced. I wonder what Langdon or McKay or Robby or Dana were like in their first year or two on the job. Santos may be arrogant and sanctimonious, but she has good qualities too and I don't understand why people are so harsh towards her.[/quote]
People are hard on her because she was a dick to, among others, Whittaker and Javadi in S1, and did a bunch of reckless, dangerous stuff that could have ot actually did endanger patients, for which she experienced no consequences.  Some of that is understandable, but that's why people are harsh towards her.  She was right about Langdon, but her interpersonal skills are hot garbage.[/quote]

This is selective though. Yes she was rude to Javadi and Whitaker, but she also gave Whitaker a place to live and genuinely appears to care about him and tips Robby off when she's concerned that the situation with the widow might not be healthy for him. She's mean to Javadi but it's also clear that this is partly due to her just not getting how she's coming off and being tone deaf, rather than actual animosity. I also disagree that she did a bunch of dangerous stuff that endangered patients. She is overzealous in wanting to get hands on medical experience and she makes a few mistakes, but is it really any more dangerous than things other doctors have done on the show, like Javadi not checking back in on her patient who coded or Ogilvie removing that piece of glass without asking first? No. She needed to be corrected and she was. She clearly now has a good working relationship with Robby and it doesn't look like Mohan or McKay has any issues with her, so it doesn't look like that issue has persisted since her first day of work.

For some reason people can be nuanced in how they look at other characters but when it comes to Santos, they get very black and white. I don't get it. She's complex.

There's good and bad in her, just like there is in Langdon. [/quote]
