I love Dr. Tom

[tsang6482 · 8/10 · 13 December 2022]

This is one of the few episode of the season where it doesn't involve Erica travelling back in time to fix a regret. Instead, it was Dr. Tom. In this episode, we get to see more about his personal life. It's great to see that Dr. Tom is just as imperfect as the rest of us, and not just someone with perfect insights of his patients and smart quotations.

And this was exactly the reason why this episode was so good. Dr. Tom is a character that grew on me in this series since Season 1. To be honest, I like Dr. Tom way more than Erica. It's the only character that I hold a positive opinion at this point of the series.

Episode that doesn't feature any of Erica's maidenhood family and friends. No Mom, Dad, brother, sister, friends or, basically, any of the Season 1 characters except Erica and Dr. Tom. Story revolves more around Dr. Tom, who is, anyway, the strongest, most polished performer of the series (and the only one I wouldn't have threatened to fire had I been chief boss there). Sigh, ho hum, Dr. Naadiah, she doesn't exactly inspire me to watch, and like I said in the previous episode's review, I cannot, cannot stand this Adam. Like, ugh, and a yech! thrown in for good measure. Saw on the disk that an upcoming episode features Ethan again. That's Erica's original boyfriend a la Season 1, right? Finally, maybe this soccer-bloke Irish Adam can be wiped off the screen even before the series finale (which is now just six episodes off)?

The Seventies was the big backdrop for this episode. It was the time of disco a la Saturday NIGHT FEVER, so I guess it was 1977. Sadly listened to that tune as the vinyl record played. With young Amanda dancing to it. That made the episode for me. The tune was so cool, so cool, so super cool... Like wow, man, I am a child of the Seventies. The girl looked so gentle dancing to it, clapping her hands, aw, man, I am not kidding now, if I don't stop this, I'm gonna cry...
