Can't see this series lasting. Can't really see Rachel Bilson as a doctor and this episode does nothing to dispel that. I almost start laughing when she utters her medical jargon.
That doesn't matter though. The show's not about medicine. It's about a big-town girl trying to fit into a small town. The conflict where Hart purposefully crashes the float in order to protect her patient's secret even though it will make Hart even more unpopular than she already is was well-written. Unfortunately, the execution was poorly done. The drama isn't there. Instead, the scene just floats along, feeling like slow motion.
I realize that's the tone and pace of the series but unless you hit these dramatic moments harder, the audience won't stick around. It these types of moments that reveal character. They're how you get your audience behind your characters.
Just can't see this series getting picked up for another season at this rate.
