17x16 I'm Still Standing

Amelia: "She's someone's baby and I'm a mum now, so I can't give up"
Every childless doctor: Guess I'll let my patient die now

This whole narrative of parents having more compassion is so gross.
It has the same vibes of straight white men who say "Now that I've become the father to a daughter" they're now advocates for women's rights.
How about caring for your fellow human being because they're a person and every life matters? They don't have to be precious to someone else to have value.

Side note: When Nico picked up Levi like a hobbit... it was way funnier than sexy

So Many Thoughts:

• I like Helm more than Schmitt and it just reminds me of how much more I liked Stephanie over Jo. I always found Schmitt so boring compared to the other interns in his year!!
• How are you gonna casually drop that Ben had cancer?? I'm assuming this was a Station 19 thing, but it's such lazy writing.
• Jo having zero compassion for a social worker who is doing her job continues to make me not like her as a character. She's always had a very one-track mind. Like, the lady literally said she had a child whose foster placement fell through and expressed how grateful she was that Luna had good doctors to look after her. I don't think Jo has had good moments throughout the series, but the stories that they use her to tell are interesting. Doesn't make her a good character though. I feel like she never learns/grows.
• The writing continues to be bad. Seriously, _who_is writing this stuff?

Now this increasingly gut wrenching show, moves on to vaccine propaganda. After this season, I will not be watching any more of this tired, nauseating rubbish. Well past its sell by date.

This show has gotten so bad. I think I may be done after this season.
