The Pitt 11 am
An action packed hour as always! So much has happened already, and it's still in the morning hours of July 4th, which is known to be a busy terrible day in Emergency Rooms.
A few things stick out from the episode. One is Santos, desperately trying to keep up with her charting under threat by incoming Dr Al-Hashimi of getting a repeat second year if she doesn't improve. I struggle to like Santos. She's so cruel to everyone, even as she is a skilled physician in the making. Here, though, I hear her say that she usually stays "a couple of hours" after her shift to do her charting, and I know the shift is 15 hours. That's incredible. I'm wondering if under pressure Santos will use Al-Hashimi's AI to do her charting in desperation, and something bad happens because it wasn't caught and corrected by an experienced human. Such as Santos herself.
There's a prisoner under guard and handcuffed to his gurney, full of terrible injuries, and the staff doesn't know how to be able to help him as they would anyone. The hospital which has been shut down without a known reason must usually have cases of prisoners. What else might the day hold?
Ogilvie has taken Whitaker's place this season in getting sprayed with grotesque fluids and substances, it seems. Oof.
Fallout The Strip Ep 8 Season 2
I wish this weren't the last episode. There should be at least ten episodes each season. Wrapping things up!
Lucy is betrayed by her father who can't have her messing up his experiments. He and a goon plan to forcibly insert a miniaturized control device in her neck. Lucky for her the Ghoul is on the same floor passing by and he shoots the goon, then plugs her father in a cheek (lower level), letting Lucy decide his fate.
Her plan is to find out what he's really up to, then she's going to activate the device she has placed in his neck. Before she can do that, he pulls out a controller of his own and hits the red button, changing his own behavior and activating an army of his R and D subjects for an unknown centuries ago planned purpose.
Maximus, fresh from fighting enough Deathclaws to damage his NCR armor, was rescued at the last by the NCR. We don't see how many troups they have, as they come around a corner, because the Legion is marching on Vegas with a new Caesar and they look like a huge force.
He steps out onto Lucy's scene just at the right moment, and it's the best scene of the show where they meet and hug the one person each of them knows is a good person.
The Ghoul finds his family's cryo chambers but of course they aren't there. There's a postcard for Colorado in Barb's vault though saying Colorado was a good idea. We get a sneak look in the past as Coop is arrested by the UnAmericans committee posse. He takes the shot so Barb and Janey can be safe. We know now Barb was a pawn of both Vault Tec and the Enclave, so she wasn't the monster Coop thought she was. (Sniff) He's off to the mountains to find her with Dogmeat by his side.
Norm! I hoped Ma June would step in and save him, but Bud's Buds, those empty little vessels, release the Radroaches from an elevator shaft, and only Norm and Claudia survive the munching.
In a Post Credits scene, a bloody Quintus vows he's now Quintus the Destroyer. He has the plans brought to him to build a super giant robot. Yup.
Filming for season three is supposed to begin this summer.
Veronica Mars Pilot
Newly on Netflix is Veronica Mars, a much vaunted teen mystery TV show. After seeing Kristin Bell on The Good Place (a show I liked but her character was a scrounge), I just didn't know if I could watch her in another show.
Ha! She's excellent as it turns out. Smart, snarky, trod on badly by life so far but not giving in or up. My kind of girl.
She's the daughter of the town's Private Detective. He used to be the sheriff, and she used to run with the cool crowd. Then her best friend was murdered, her dad went after the wrong guy, her mom turned into a drunk who left town, she was roofied at a party then raped.
She's got plenty of reason to be angry. Even so, when a new guy is taped to a pole and pilloried, she cuts him down and reluctantly becomes his protector.
She involves herself in a case of her father's checking out a philandering spouse, keeping watch on his, taking photographs which whe feels is her specialty.
The show is only three seasons, with maybe a fourth? There was some moving around of the show so how much there is on Netflix remains to by seen by me. I like the show, the mystery elements, and the main character.
