gameshow voice: is it gay subtext or are the writers just so catastrophically bad at writing female characters that the only relationships in the entire story that feel human are the ones between the men.

I think med student Joy could have a backstory involving having someone close to her die a long, drawn-out death, maybe someone she had to be a caregiver for. In the first episode, the show has to give us the broad strokes of these new characters and set up their arc for the rest of the season, and I thought it was quite pointed that they gave her two comments about not wanting to suffer/see other people suffer a painful death:

  1. β€œWho doesn’t love torturing the elderly?”
  2. β€œQuick and painless. We should all be so lucky.”

that kind of backstory could also go some way towards explaining the detachment/lack of empathy we saw from her in ep 1.

the conversation between cj and donna in no exit is soooooooooo. it's sooooooooooooooooo. pov you've watched your friend stay in a job she's long outgrown for YEARS for this guy you also love but who's holding her back. and you can't say it because it'll hurt her so bad but you've reached a limit somewhere and you just want to see her GET OUT but you HAVE to hurt her for that to ever happen and it breaks your heart, it really does. and in the end, you're not the bad guy and she listens to you and she takes care of herself for the very first time.

#and then she gets fucking exploded#and you can't even go to visit her#whatever. whatever i'm fine#cj cregg#donna moss#the west wing#emspeak
