yep, looked it up because an anon beat you to it. however i'm definitely keeping casual boxer santos as a headcanon. because of course.
hey, santos nation, what sport(s) do we think she played (since she's canonically a former athlete)?
I love how The Pitt's use of the small time scale shows how quickly trauma (or just collaboration in any high pressure environment) can create bonds. Specifically I'm talking about Whittaker and Santos. I'm rewatching from the beginning after watching the finale, and in s1e1 when Whittaker complains about money problems, Santos just smirks and is like "sell a kidney." By the end of the season, she offers for him to move in with her.
This is like a season's worth of relationship development and character development for Santos especially. But like. Over the time span of one day. Less than 24 hours. That is just insane to think about. And yet. It makes sense. Because they endured insane trauma together and even before that, they were comrades in arms facing a constant onslaught of patients and expectations. It is just such good writing and something I've never seen before. I'm sure this has been said a million times but like. A full season of character development. One day. Both make sense. Wow.
HYUNSEOK FOR SHIP BINGO
not my favorite hyun-ju pairing, but a great one regardless.
trinity and whitaker in ten months
This might sound weird, but something I really love about The Pitt is the silence.
Medical dramas often get this so wrong, obviously for cinematic effect, but still; during an emergency in the ER, there isn't this overly dramatic yelling or shouting. Medical personnel needs to act fast and communicate a lot between nurses, doctors, technicians, and it cannot be done effectively if everyone is losing their shit crying and shouting. I am not saying there's whispering, but people are so focused they cannot afford to be dramatic about the actual dramatic situations unfolding; they need to stay clear-minded. Also, there is no tense or fast paced background music irl.
And the Pitt gets it: beeping and sounds of the machines aside, there is no unnecessary noise.
The only noises are patients arguing, mostly with each other or with their relatives -accurate- or the resident friendly neighbourhood drunkard yelling in the corridor to whomever passes by he wants to eat -also accurate.

I’ve only seen season one of squid game but I think the scene that sticks most in my mind is the very first game. red light, green light.
no one who signed up for it knew they would actually die if they lost any of the games and the reason most people died in that game is because they didn’t know that and freaked out when they saw that the first person to lose was actually dead.
so many of them ran to the door to try and get out and then all got shot by the doll :(
JIYEONG FOR CHARACTER BINGO
i love her.
man i love when a character turns into a wound that time refuses to heal
text is an edited version of a passage from "the outsiders" by s.e. hinton
idk if anyone has corn plated this but i love santos getting handed the coffee & immediately handing it to whitaker so much. such an unimportant detail to the script but sooo key to their early characterization. they’re so cute 2 me
i had not considered this. we're so back.
the unfortunate thing about the second season being 10 months into the future is that we'll never see a bit where javadi gets to private investigator levels of nosy about why santos and whitaker are Like That and concludes they are dating. and when she tells them this, they both look at her like she's killed their childhood pets.
