God, I hate it when I take a nap and wake up in a panic for no obvious reason.

Sometimes I think about how Santos was originally given the name "Shah" in the script before casting, implying she was also conceived as South Asian, and what ramifications that would have had for how different plotlines came across...

Someone actually accused me of not caring about Samira Mohan. Me??? Not caring about Samira Mohan??? I fear we do not speak the same language if this is your conclusion.

I’m having a beer with colleagues, and while I’m not even close to to drunk enough to spill my thoughts on fandom, my inhibitions might be sufficiently loosened by the time I get home to talk about some of my hot takes about the show itself.

That shot in the teaser of Whitaker holding internal paddles...combined with that one alt-text from those images about Robby encouraging Samira to do something that the new attending objects to...okay, please tell me he's letting her crack open someone's chest in a trauma room.

[doctormohansamira]

Okay, but those alt-texts for those pictures are insane. "Robby and the battling savants"?!

So much of what I hear about season two is making me really anxious. There is nothing in this show I care about more than Samira Mohan and her layered and complex relationship with Robby, if they take that away from me in any way, shape, or form, I will flip out.

That purple really, really works for Shabana Azeez, Javadi is going to be sooooo pretty in season two.

I think I’m getting old, having coffee without eating something with it is hurting my stomach.

At this point, I think I have most of The Pitt fandom blocked for a very wide range of reasons.

I have a whole post about this that I should really get back to drafting, but like...it messes with my head so much that Robby did his residency in New Orleans because of the Adamson of it all. Adamson both started and ended his career in Pittsburgh! So does that mean Robby didn't meet this hugely important mentor figure in his life until he was already an attending? Does it mean that Adamson moved to New Orleans for a few years when Robby was a resident and Robby followed him back to Pittsburgh? What was their deal.

[doctormohansamira]

Sometimes, I see posts about directions different characters' stories could go, and I think...okay, but you do realize that's already Samira, right.

[doctormohansamira]

I keep seeing people say that Samira hates Robby, or vice versa, and I'm just...are we watching the same show here???

[doctormohansamira]

French 75s are insane. What the hell. I met friends for brunch today, and for some reason, we all wound up ordering them, andafter one drink, I think I need to fall asleep for the next three hours. This is not a cocktail for eleven in the morning, Jesus Christ.

God, I hate the way people completely abuse the word "canon". It is the text! That's it! Nothing else! Not interviews, not deleted scenes, not backstory provided by writers. External information can inform the text. But it isn't the text. It doesn't "confirm" a theory or headcanon, nor does it disprove them. It doesn't expand canon. It can even flat out contradict canon – it often does, even, usually because writers have a tendency to be deeply terrible at math, and stuff they say blatantly blows apart timelines.

[doctormohansamira]

The three wildly different tones on the word "really" when Samira claims Whitaker made an excellent catch that saved a life make me laugh every time.

[doctormohansamira]

You know something, I do not believe Samira Mohan has a pet, but if she did, she would keep the name the shelter gave it, and this is how she'd end up with a cat like this one, named Guppy Fish.
