I've loved The Good Doctor up until this latest episode called Islands. I was so disappointed after waiting for the show to come back on, only to see this stupid episode. If I wanted to see this kind of crap, I could easily watch how many stupid shows on TV right now. I can't stand the character Lea and I just want her gone now. I didn't mind her until this episode and then now I really can't stand seeing her. I hope she leaves in the next episode and stays gone. All the episode proved was that Shaun needs a therapist to help him learn stuff. Yeah, he doesn't want a stranger to help him, but what was Lea before he met her. A stranger. If Glassman had not covered for Shaun at the hospital, then he would have lost his job. Lea didn't make sure he called in sick and she didn't even care if he could have lost his job or not. It seems she just wanted to have fun and really didn't care if Shaun did or not. That's how I saw it. She went on the road trip to decide her own future and what she wanted to do. She didn't do it for Shaun, she just took him along for the ride. I think this episode made me like Shaun less and just watching him do all those stupid things just hurt. I could see him learning how to drive a car, but revving an engine and burning rubber do not teach you anything, except how to be stupid. Both him and Lea could have been seriously injured or died by him driving. I hated that Shaun had to get drunk instead of just having one drink to see how it was. I just cringed when they were doing karaoke and I wanted to turn the channel. I wouldn't have minded if Shaun had these experiences over the course of how many episodes and saw a slow building up to a relationship with Lea, but this was just stupid. To cram so much into one road trip and for Shaun to be okay with all the change, but he couldn't handle seeing a therapist for probably not even an hour. He freaked out, but didn't freak out over all the crap he did with Lea. And he should probably have had more of a hangover the next morning instead of being okay. It just seems that this episode tried to do to much too fast.
I went back to watching my Doctor Who and reading more Doctor Who books. I really thought The Good Doctor was the show I had been waiting for, but I found out it wasn't. I'm hoping it goes back to being good like the first half of the season, but only time will tell. I hope Shaun realizes that he needs a therapist to help him and then that will show how responsible he can be. After he learns, he can be independent and responsible. Because I did not see that in the last episode. Running off without telling anyone where you are going is not being responsible or independent. It's just stupid and he could have lost his job over it. I could see if he worked some dumb job he could lose, but to work how hard for so many years and lose his job would be stupid.
Well, I can't wait for my other shows to come back on. I really miss Once Upon A Time and I can't wait for it to return. I still need to catch up on Gotham. My stupid channel 13 won't come in, so I've missed how many episodes.
Well that's all for now.
