COMRADES IN ARMS

They must have had so much fun working together again. Please...bring on Greg Smith next!
.
OMG..she was sooooooooooooooo irritating! And the CEO is no better. I realize they have to keep the hospital functioning financially, but...that doesn't mean they have not one ounce of compassion.


I love that, too. Devon paid his dues in the beginning and proved himself very capable. Thus...he has earned Conrad's respect.

What I don't understand is...why does Conrad continually stick up for her? She seemed very chummy toward him. Do they have a history?

I like him alot as well.
She is a pistol. She knows she's arrogant. Mina: "I know this is not my expertise, but I'm arrogant enough to want to do it." She definitely saved the day, and in the nick of time!

It's going to affect his cognitive ability in some way. That doesn't sound like a good thing for a surgeon.

Did he do a double take when he realized his friend was going to compete for her?


ETA: I didn't appreciate seeing that compound fracture at the beginning of the episode.

You can see that something is bothering him, but you can't see how he feels about it. At least for me it's not clear enough. He opens up to her most probably more than to other people, but maybe she needed more than that?

Yeah most probably she wants all or nothing and he wants something in between.

I still have not watched the third episode so I will see how I would interpret it .

I think that even Devon picked that there was something fishy when it came to Hunter. The fact that the files were removed only further proved that they were both right to doubt her.

Mina might not be your emotionally open person, but her goal is to do the best she can for the best outcome. In the end of the day her patients win out of this. She is also not in your face. She keeps silent until asked for input. That's the type of confident people I like. Be confident but only when being asked and not in my face all the time .

Looking forward to your thoughts on the third episode.

Mina is a sweet character, I really enjoy her. Unique!

jediwands

Would love this!

It was horrible. Not sure how that type of person wakes up in the morning without severe guilt.

It was awesome. How Conrad originally treated him I actually had zero problem with. What better way to learn than on the fly and without being nursed along. It worked out perfectly.

You make a good point. I don't know if she's manipulated him and he's clueless and doesn't suspect a thing or like you said, there's a history. It does seem weird that Conrad has Bell analyzed perfectly but seems clueless concerning Hunter.

Great character and the actor plays him beautifully.

Exactly!

He might be fixing the tremor but the cognitive stuff is going to be far worse. I understand his need to keep the tremor private and be in denial about reaching a point where hanging up the surgeon label is scary. It's all he knows. But man, one of these days he's going to screw over a patient, maybe even kill the patient. I hope it doesn't come to his health affecting one of his patients because it would be a disaster. He can still work, just not as a surgeon. He doesn't have to entirely quit his job. He can do surgical consults, figure out treatment approaches, then other surgeons like Mina take over. So it's not like he has to entirely walk away from medicine, he just needs to tweak his responsibilities.

Yes! He did! At first he thought his friend meant "war" as in... good luck getting her back, pal, kind of thing. Then when he did the double take he realized his friend meant... war is on between the two friends and may the best man win. He looked uneasy, for sure.

I had to turn my head! I hate needles, the fracture thing, lol, stuff like that even if I know it's fake. You'd think I'd be better about this considering we watch The 100. Not the case. This type of show affects me more because we can say The 100 is fantasy and not real if that makes sense. On The Resident, we know these things do happen daily in real life so it's tougher to keep processing it as fake.

Mina is indeed unique character!

I have not watched the third episode but I wanted to comment on Hunter/Conrad. I do not believe that Conrad is clueless. I believe that Conrad is very aware of Hunter's shortcomings, but for some reason she is helpful for him.

If there is something that I identify with Conrad is the way we play the game. Notice that he knows very well how to play the game with different people. He know how to play Bell - using his fears. He knows how to play Mina - using her ambition.

I am pretty sure that he needs Hunter for something which is why he closes his eyes for some stuff she is doing. Most probably he finds her good doctor despite doing questioning things because frankly he does them too. On the other hand Bell is a lousy doctor. His actions cause patients' life. For Hunter I guess Conrad feels that she is good doctor despite everything else.

It’s very possible. There’s speculation she’s overdosing her patients on chemo. I can’t see Conrad ever turning the other cheek on something that terrible. So I guess it depends on what she’s precisely up to. If it’s something that drastic, I don’t think he knows. If she’s remotely playing around with her patients, definitely not.

everwoodfan52

I see your point somewhat, but Lane could have put the cancer patient's life in danger by releasing her from the hospital early. You will see in the third episode.

It definitely appears to me that there are alot of questionable people working at this hospital. Thank God for Conrad, Nic, Devon, and Mina!

jediwands

Exactly. I can’t see Conrad aware of what she’s truly up to. He’s way too decent of a person to turn his back on such serious stuff.

secretk

Both bring valid points. Maybe he knows some stuff, but not the whole truth?

everwoodfan52

It will definitely be interesting to see how this all plays out.

I am thoroughly invested in this show. How about the two of you? And...is anyone else out there enjoying this series?
Shu...you seemed interested..

secretk

That was definitely cool! Unfortunately he was not there for long.

I enjoy the show so far too. So to answer your question Betty I am invested too .
Honestly that was not surprising. I understand why the CEO was pissed and I think that deep down he understood it too. Btw talking about Conrad I am glad that they decided to use military background because the way he treats is typical for military doctors. When I watched the Pilot I specifically thought about this because this is the only thing that would explain his way of treating patients. Military doctors do not have MRIs and expensive equipment. They have to react really quickly using not a lot of tools.

I loved Devon from the Pilot so I am glad that they have respect for each other now.

I have not watched Brothers and sisters so I can't comment on Rebecca. I liked Emily but I like Nic more. And I am not super fan of Amy so Nic wins over for me, but then again Nic is adult and Amy was a teen. I actually love the mature way Nic handles stuff. Also loved the way she played Barb.

Agree .
That was hilarious, but also quite efficient way to be honest. I also love her. She is quite refreshing character that you do not get to see on TV.

So true!!! We all know it!

I think that Nic would decide to stay out of the triangle for the long term. I don't think that she appreciated too much the invite. It's no wonder that the guy had to confirm that it's not a date.

But we will see. I just don't think that she was that interested in the guy. And I do not think that she liked the fact that he invited her considering he knows her history with Conrad.

Oh and I love the actress that played Luisa and loved Luisa as a character. I hope that she is recurring character in the show considering that she will have long rehab and that it would have consequences for the ER.

ds44

I have to watch episode three. I def love this show.

jediwands

Count me in as invested, too.

How do you feel so far, Koni?

jediwands

Looking forward to your thoughts!

jediwands

Oh here's your answer. Skip above.

That's a great point.

He's really great. I was sold from the beginning too.

Nic is a great character.

You just don't see it! She can play it so perfectly too. She orders people around, has a little arrogance, but there's a sincerity and caring along with it too. The actress is phenomenal.

You're right, she didn't even seem enthusiastic about going on the date.

I loved her too! What a terrific story. I hope we see her off and on. Given her future career goals maybe that's a hint we'll see her from time to time.
