Quintessence of Dust (#12.14)

This episode has a pretty dramatic event with Victor's girlfriend being shot by her husband. This brings action and worry on what will happen to her. Also Victor faces people thinking that he was the one who shot her. Interesting how it will work out. John Leguizamo is sure a very good actor for this story.

It was kind of funny to have Dr. Pratt get a date from a guy on the auction, only they didn't decide to make it more scandalous and in reality it is a woman he goes on a date with.

Luka tells Sam that he is having a baby with Abby, which sure makes it more interesting.

Racism....plain and simple

Okay, Haleh...must've called the ACLU after she was fired to get her job back. Pratt is going to a bachelor auction, so she has to chime in with her racist remark (she is conveniently written in to the script to be there right at that moment) that goes something like 'is your black girlfriend okay with you putting your black ass up for rich white women to bid on' That did it for me...I turned it off.

Let's address the issue - that was a racist comment, plain and simple. You wanna know how you can tell - and this works in any given situation, anywhere in the world, by anyone who says anything potentially offensive - if the roles were reversed, there would be outrage and overreaction. If Abby said to Luka 'is your white girlfriend okay with you putting your white ass up for rich black women to bid on' the show would be over, CNN would have it headline every hour and the careers of the actors involved would be toast.

It is a ridiculous double standard that we're living with in America. And people are getting fed up.
