Robby 😭😫💔 My god how I love Noah Wyle. He’s just so so good; always has been. I agree that there’s something up with Mel’s patient and I definitely think it’s more than just PTSD response to the shooting. I hadn’t considered that she could be the shooter but looking back at her lack of reaction while watching all the activity in the ER it makes sense. I don’t think it was David. It’s too easy and obvious.

I’m currently rewatching The Closer for the eleventy billionth time. I just love the characters and it’s good after work fluff.

Right, it feels too pat for it to be David, and he really isn't acting as if he just got back from shooting a bunch of people. I don't want there to be a 'gotcha' moment reveal—surprise! it was Langdon! he created a mass-casualty event so he could prove how much the hospital needs him! I hate twists for the sake of twisting, I want stories to build not swerve. But I don't want the shooting to be about Robby's guilt. Two more episodes, I will just have to trust.

Re: The Pitt. Why do we watch these brilliant, horrible shows? They have no right to do this to us. I completely missed the ER significance of that helicopter stuff. And your thoughts on that woman are identical to mine.

Do you think this is a very deliberate point-making exercise about gun laws? (Apart from everything else it is, I mean) I'm not asking as criticism.

The city of Pittsburgh has been fighting for stricter gun laws since this mass shooting in 2018: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_synagogue_shooting. Yes, I do think it is a component.
