“Can’t handle his coke” is not exactly how I would describe someone having an outright delusional episode. Whether he’s an asshole or privileged person otherwise is irrelevant, that’s a far step away from him being the type of person to assault someone in a correct state of mind. I also can’t really blame someone who just came out of a delusional episode for not immediately coming to terms with what they did during it. Going from being in the middle of golfing to waking up in the hospital to learning that you’re going to be taken down to the jail would be an extremely traumatic moment for anyone. I don’t think an underprivileged person would have a different response than he did
if someone tries to kill your first day baby coworker you are not going to be kind to them about it when they're unapologetic even if it wasn't ultimately their fault, which isn't even your job to determine.
His response to it was to yell and scream at them and say he was going to sue all of them and showed literally zero remorse for anything that he did. You would think if he was just truly experiencing a delusional episode that he would, idk, be mortified a bit that he nearly suffocated a young nurse and maybe try to understand what happened and apologize instead of just be a prick to everyone.
Are you saying you don't think he was truly experiencing a delusional episode? Because between both what we saw him say to Emma, McCay's diagnosis, and his own lack of memory, it doesn't seem like the show is trying to make that ambiguous at all. Also, people deal with traumatic events very differently. It isn't even remotely surprising to me that someone waking up to all that information would become extremely defensive and trying to justify/excuse/distract from it. I'll need to rewatch the scene between him and McCay because my memory was her being pretty hostile to him from the jump before he was an asshole to her personally. But I'll take everyone's word for it until I have time for that
I am torn. As a a person I want to see Langdon face some accountability, but as a viewer I don't want Langdon face full accountability because I still want that character to be a doctor on my tv show for years to come.
From what Prestige pod said awhile ago he was gone first part of the season because he was shooting some Heated Rivarlyish YA lacrosse sports romance show in Canada for Amazon Prime.
There have seen so many shots with Langdon observing everything that is happening I can't help but wonder if Robbie fully breaks and Langdon is there for him.
Per Prestige Pod, veteran John Wells player Mary McCormick (did a 48 episode run during Wells' time heading The West Wing post-Sorkin leaving. Also did a 6 episode stint on ER) will have a guest role as an upstairs specialist surgeon during these last few episodes. Looking at this season's casting I think we are going to get a new night shift ER Resident character these last few episodes too.
Since last season I kept wondering why Langdon seems so familiar even though he’s never been in anything. Then it hit me last night he kinda reminds of the main puppet from Team America World Police
Patrick Ball is fantastic in this show but I’m not seeing “It” with him the way a lot of people seem to be lol
The show does a great job at making viewers sympathetic to Langdon and annoyed at Santos, even when I think when you break it down, Santos is "technically" right, she just goes about it the wrong way and refuses to look inward on herself (which Langdon has had to do). It's a fascinating dynamic.
