sci fi and medical dramas are my game

This blog is pro John Truman Carter III. I also love medical dramas. And other things, but currently mostly medical dramas. It's important to me not to talk shitty about fictional addicts in med dramas. I love, support, and defend most female characters, but you can never make me like Trinity Santos.

Noah Wyle attends the opening night afterparty for "Good Night, And Good Luck" on Broadway and reunites with his former ER cast mates: George Clooney, Anthony Edwards and Julianna Margulies.

#all this fighting and I just don't care, I type in the tags of a show! As I furiously type out several paragraphs of argument to demonstrate how much I do not care.

#people are taking it so seriously and I don't get it, I type in the tags of a show, as I type out several pages that are not behind a cut at all to show how unseriously I take it lmao.

Welp, today is April 2nd, so we get two days for the price of one:

Because this is a week of meetings, and they are all ass.

Day 3: What's the hardest thing for YOU about world building?

Action scenes. Whether that means it's .. IDK, Steve and Bucky fighting Tony or ... Carter and his med team s tanding around trying to save a life... or the Enterprise fighting Klingons. Action scenes are ass for me.

I'm good at introspection. I'm good at descriptions. I'm good at interpersonal scenes. But action? Feels like a tooth extraction.

Day 4: Least favorite trope to write:

Coffee shop a/u. It's just not my jam. I DO like domestic modern A/us.... but put them anywhere but a coffeshop lolol.

"NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT TRINITY, SHE WAS RIGHT TO TURN HIM IN TO ROBBY!!!!! AND LANGDON WAS WRONG TO STEAL DRUGS!!!!!!! FROM PATIENTS!!!"

  1. Nobody has ever said that Trinity was wrong for turning him in. You are making up an argument that doesn't even exist. of course she was right lmao broken clocks are right twice a day every day.
  2. I don't give a shit that Langdon stole drugs from patients actually, because I understand how addiction works. And sometimes it works - often it works - by addicts doing fucked up shit. It happens. Fortunately, there's treatment for it.

AGain, fortunately, there's treatment for it.

Anyway! Pitt fandom quit being assholes about addicts every fucking day challenge: impossible.

Top 5 ER episodes or arcs?

Avatar

  1. Exodus: CARTER COMPETENCY, BELOVED.
  2. The arc from "Post Mortem" to "ONe More for the Road" : This is Carter's arc (lolol you may detect a certain ... bias in this reply ... gosh, I wonder who my favorite is.) Anyway! It's the best because it allows Carter to stand up for what he wants in life, and that is to not be a surgeon. He makes that choice, turning away from the kind of doctor he was compromising to be to make his terrible parents happy (at least partially) and to gain the favor of Benton (at least partially, whom he also respects and desires the approval of. This is such an important arc to HIM and his character.
  3. Ruby Redux: Man. Man. Man. This illustrates Carter's character arc so well.
  4. Middle of Nowhere: THE PETER BENTON EPISODE. Listen, this shows all his soft spots, the ones he doesn't like to acknowledge that exist outside of Carter. Also, he eats sweet potato pie with his fingers. I love him.
  5. this is is ONE ARC: Be Still My Heart - Mayday. Perfect. Perfect handling of drug addiction. Perfect handling of trauma. Perfect handling of loss. Perfect handling of grief. Perfect. Untouched. Unmatched. Perfect.

Honorable mentions:

Lockdown - Chaos Theory: They fuck better in the ER than they do in Grey's Callrooms.

The Storm, Part I: See Above

The Good Fight: Foreplay to Above.
