I Really Hate Titles

       Still binging on Chicago Med. I think I'm going to see it all the way through, even though it's getting on my nerves a little...and I'm not even talking about the episode I just saw called Lock It Down where the hospital was locked down because of a missing baby...just like House. Actually I think I saw two more House characters, too.

      But yeah, it is getting annoying. Used to be the characters would all mingle. Now they pass each other in the hallway talking to the same character they always talk to. Daniel and Sarah, Natalie and Will, Connor and Ava, Ethan and April, Maggie and Sharon. Some-times, sometimes, Sharon will talk to Dan. Even less frequently Connor talks to Will. But I can't remember when last April talked to Sharon, or Natalie talked to Sarah, or Ava talked to, well, anybody else. Several episodes back Ethan and Natalie were called onto the same scene, but apart from that, they've basically gone their sep-arate ways. Sarah talks to Daniel about exposure therapy and her dad. Connor and Ava alternate constantly between fighting and flirting. Sharon is always telling Maggie that she's in trouble...

      I'm just waiting for a girls' night. Maybe Sharon goes out with Connor for crying out loud. Maybe Natalie asks how April's doing with her TB already! I've compared Daniel to James Wilson, who always acts as House's conscience. When did Wilson talk to Hadley, or Taub, or Kutner? He barely even speaks to Cameron. I recall two times; when she thought she needed to look for another job, and when she was getting ready for her date with House. But Chicago Med is a medical show, too...so how about a differential? Natalie and Will have a heated argument, and Sharon has the whole staff gather to discuss. Or they're talking about Maggie's actions. Something, any-thing, that makes them, I don't know, converse. Can't they just say hi to each other? Nod at each other in the hallway? They're passing each other all the time... Freaking look at each other.

      Still, superior to Nurse Jackie―what isn't?―and so far I think I could give it 8/10 stars. I'll see it all the way through and, maybe, even watch it again. Hell, I'd consider buying it, if I had money. I'm comfortable with the cast and I'm even fond of some of them. I was watching it on the TV for awhile because my headphones were dying. Now the TV is being replaced and I have new headphones, which work great...but the sound cuts out from them, too, so I don't know what the fuck's going on.

      And as an update, shortly after the leaky pipes in the bathroom were fixed, the tap exploded. Then a stove element wouldn't shut off. My family's decided not to even tell the landlord, we'll just call the handyman and pay for it ourselves so that shit actually gets done around here. I'm good with that. Really, I'm just waiting for the toilet to come out of the wall.
