Robby didn't break her. The two seizures did. Robby was 100% right that she needed to report her condition to her bosses. I think it's part of why she told Robby - she knew she needed to report it but also knew she needed to force her own hand It's still absolutely devastating for her but I don't think Robby is the bad guy here
Agreed, her condition is the core issue. 100%. How Robby handled it and treated her? Nope. Given his own issues, it’s understandable why he did it the way he did. Would not defend him though.
Yeah its very similar to how Robby treated Dana after she sedated the guy who attacked Emma In both cases Robby is right, but at the same time I don't think he communicated super well with either of them. Robby absolutely has a problem both specifically with how he treats women, and his whole "tough love" shtick is him just reinforcing unhealthy trauma cycles as a whole
One thing i was thinking about. The "man they were not this aggressive with Dr. Ellis" stuff in the deposition plot, was that an unsaid implication of ableism? I mean anti-vax mom whose kid now is mentally disabled (by her own obvious fault) has her lawyers go hard after the autistic doctor. It was never explicit but I always assumed that was the undertone of it. But I dunno am I reading too into it?
Eh, I don’t think the lawyers would take direction from the mom. Could the lawyers be thinking that on their own? Possibly.
Entirely reasonable to think the lawyers would see Mel's reaction and general presence as a weakness they could try and exploit
From today's USA Today interview with Wyle. Robby still goes on the trip (without being suicidal about it) and he doesn't take Baby Jane home as an emergency foster parent. On the bike ride On Baby Jane Doe and the pedes room. On Robby's series emotional arc
Robby definitely treats women poorly but he’s also a dick in general. He was a dick to Langdon all season and he yelled at those 2 EMTs in front of the entire ER.
A lot of it is him failing to consider his own privilege. His size and stature means he doesn't have to fear for his safety in the same way Emma and Dana do. He obviously still worked hard to get where he is in life, but Al-Hashimi has faced challenges because of her race and gender that Robby had never encountered. He treats them how he'd treat himself but that doesn't actually work for everyone
"He treats them like he treats himself" is spot on. The Langdon and Mohan scenes spelled it out. Robby has impossible professional standards and expectations for himself that he expects those under him to live up to. When he's mad at himself he takes it out on others. He basically warned Mohan to go to Geriatrics to not end up like him. I do believe Robby loves all his people like family though. Did you see how worried he was when he heard Mohan might be having a medical emergency?
I've seen more people pissed that he might take the baby Honestly I should use the same rule as the politics thread: only discuss it here
Wyle was right. Why would you want a clearly mentally ill man coming down from a crisis to take care of an infant?
So what do folks think was the best line of the season? I'm personally going with "your family crest is a penguins logo?"
" I'll tell what I do. When I go home I lock all of this away and then I escape... to Love Island " "I think you'd make a good Dragon" "Fuckleberry" "I didn't take you as an Astrology girlie"
