OK i figured out my discomfort with this!

you have to EARN a death episode. I mean, they’ll be mourning this week, right? and let me tell you, watching people in mourning is rarely fun, it’s really emotionally exhausting especially for people with serious funerals in their past that they really don’t want to think about anymore. i really had to love shane to watch her cry for an entire episode, you know? like it was just premature. we weren’t ready for this. we’re still meeting these people. we’re like on our second date with this show. just — just wait. i think, is what caught me off-guard about this. it was too early. i don’t love them enough to watch them mourn, not yet. it was just too early.

It could be (I am in Scotland), or I could be just wrong. I do medsci things but I don’t work in a hospital (yet!) so they might well say ‘epinephrine’ there.

Interesting – I work in a UK hospital and we call it epinephrine. I guess it could be regional though…?

I couldn’t agree more that these types of episodes need a mood warning, and that I want my Friday night back.

Unbelievable. I’m not even 25% as invested in this show, as I was in the L Word (until Dana died and I wanted to sink down to the floor with my singing sunflower and Alice), and I am still deeply emotionally affected. At least we saw Dana’s death COMING.

Where did this come from?!? Where was the car? Where was Cat? Why was she in the street? Why why why?

Also– I can only understand about 66.7% of the words in this show. British series need English subtitles, for sure.

funny how laura fraser left one show for another only to be replaced. funny how these things work out.

@Scribegrrrl
Yes, I later figured (and hoped) that it was a regional language issue. I mean he said adrenaline like THREE times for Chris’ake. Thanks for the clarification. Of course, it doesn’t make up for the remaining total lameness of that scene, but it’s all good. Looking forward to Friday’s “epi”.

i know me too, i didn’t like cat either, and now i’m torn between being glad frankie can do something more interesting and agreeing with everything scribegrrrl wrote about how the show was ultimately constructed and how the death was handled.

Same thing!

Which, somehow, despite being a biologist, I did not know. This puts epi pens into a starker perspective.

I am about 90% that it’s called adrenaline in UK hospitals? That’s the only name I’ve encountered during medsci education here.
