this is only getting half a star because of jodi's feature.

really, rtd? cramming the first poc doctor in between f-ing tenrose doctors?? leave your peak in the past where it belongs. this is so disrespectful.

ncuti deserved so much better than this. not only was he robbed with the terrible pacing and writing from both seasons, but the length alone should be criminal. 16.5 episodes for his run, 45ish minutes each, and he wasn't even given enough grace to be in every episode.

his "big bads" this episode/season were killed off in a matter of anticlimactic minutes after an entire season's worth of buildup (two if you count flood). like, come on. more time was spent on his daughter-not-daughter.

speaking of poppy, my GOD retconning belinda's entire character to have had a child this entire time. i didn't think we could top how terribly martha was written/treated as a poc companion, but rtd continues to prove me wrong.

i would say i hope this show gets better, but with rtd being the showrunner, it will not be. without another hiatus, i fear that it will be run directly into the ground.
