10 - Wishbones

[Dr K Harris]

Discuss the episode here.

When Alex's brother Luke is admitted to Hope Zion Hospital in critical condition, Joel and Charlie must work together to keep him alive while keeping his admittance a secret from Alex. Meanwhile, Alex figures out a way to remove a tumour from a patient pregnant with twins, while Maggie is thrown off her game by the patient's gorgeous OB/GYN.

Not sure I was expecting something like that with Luke.  Guess when you're a main character like Alex you should always expect lots of drama.

Charlie Charlie Charlie...I wanted you to tell Alex the truth, but that might have been the worst possible time and place!  I know he had good intentions and it was still a sweet scene, but Alex just wasn't in the right state to hear something like that.

Great job by Erica Durance, glad she earned a Leo nomination for this episode.

Our first glacé at Dr. Kelfas.  Easy to say now but seems a bit off.  Had no problem taking a big risk later in Twinned Lambs but so hesitant to try something low-risk here.  Glad Maggie and Alex stepped up.

Yeah it was a bit of the wrong time but you knew that he trying to do what was best... but like most men got it completely wrong!

Took me an age to get the Superman reference... doh!

Something else... are we going to see Alex's other brothers I believe she has 3.....

Kriss

[Dr K Harris]

Guess what I am watching.... seen something else...

Did anyone notice that he was in the same bed as Charlie.... bless her

Kriss

[ZionHarris]

She has more than 1 at least, was also wondering why they weren't mentioned around this time.  

You mean same ICU bed/room as Charlie in Season 1?  Will have to take a look...

[Dr K Harris]

Yeah Bed 3... when he codes in season 1 the call goes out for the same bed number.

So yeha, charlies told her, he finally told her, all the sneaking around, the lies the evasions etc, and he told he. 30 bloody seconds after her screw up addict brother died. NOT a good thing.

On Luke, Iäve been in recovery for almost 2 1/2 years, I see and have seen people come in and out you realy cannot screw with your recovery or your addicitons, it is hard and the tendancy to risk take, especially when active is arge, sadly all too often people do fall off the wagon after 90 days, sorry to see it happen to Luke.

Maggie, maggie maggie maggie. Did it occur to you for one second that he might react differrently to being told he is going to be a father than asking about a dog! maybe he doesn't like dogs and is just trying to not upset you by telling him you don't have time for a pet. He loves you girl, he will commit.. I really *really* hope she isn't going to go down the road of never telling hm and quietly aborting the child.. That destroys trust and any relationship is built on trust. Tell him so you two can deal with it together, yes, it might end the relationship but lying to him, especially about a child you could have together, will DEFINITELY end it.

As Kris says, I am offering a male perspective on this so feel free to pick apart my arguments, debate is stimulating (And better than looking at web applicaiton code, which is what I have been doing all day).

He hasn't watched the next episode yet so no comments yet please...

[ZionHarris]

Yrah, you see that a lot in TV/movies, testing the waters by mentioning a pet. Quite a difference between a baby and a pet

[priggy]

But the other thing is a baby is more of a time commitment than a pet. I wonder how many people test the waters in real life with the idea of a pet.

well TBF if any woman crazy enough to actually date me did not like cats, then I clearly mae a mistake going out with her in the first place.

I watched the second part, will comment on the thread.
