"You don't need to call me Mr. Snyder"

[bigboobedcanuck]

Welcome to the Luke/Reid rewatch! Our first episode is from January 19th, 2010. Luke and Reid speak over the phone for the first time, as Reid understandably tells Luke that no, he won't drop everything and fly to Oakdale to examine Noah. Well, we all know Luke Snyder doesn't take no for an answer, don't we

Doesn't mean you don't think he's hot (even with bad hair). :p

Right? LOL!

It still surprises me every time how nice and civil Reid is as a doctor, though. I don't think his bedside manner is bad at all, at least not when it involves his patients directly.

Well, it seems to come and go. There's the times he's with Noah when he seems really professional, and then there was that female patient where he was like, "I've been waiting for a case just this dire to to make the risk of death worth it." And she was like, "And that's me???" all terrified, and Reid was like, "Yeah. How cool is that?" LOL! Oh, Reid. But, yeah, he can have very gentle bedside manner, too.

Is it a Paolo or a Damian thing that he has such a strong accent? I just don't see a reason for a Maltese guy to have an accent when speaking English at all, but that might just be me.

That is a good question. I think it is Paolo, but now I'm curious what kind of accent the Maltese speak English with. I'd think it would be more of an English-ish accent more than an American one, though.

Ooh, right, I forgot about her. But come on, who can blame him for getting excited at the prospect of that surgery? :D
I've mostly been rewatching the stuff surrounding Noah's surgery, and Reid's more than professional there. Up until "that's official", anyway. I mean, he even tried to get them back together, for god's sake...

I'm starting to think it's him, too. It's just that the handful Maltese people I've talked to didn't have much of an accent at all (which I was grateful for, since I have a hard time understanding "real" Brits sometimes), but they were young-ish and from Valletta, so it might just be that. And a lot of people specifically go to Malta to take English classes, so I'm guessing their English is fairly "standard".
But what do I know? English's not my native language either...

It's definitely Paolo, since he's from Italy. I looked it up once, and Malta does have a portion of Italian-speakers, so I guess that's the wank the writers used. Not that the average viewer (including me) has any idea what Maltese or a Maltese accent sounds like! Italian was sufficiently European. :)

I have no clue about what kind of accent the Maltese speak with, but Paolo is Italian. That's why he has such a strong accent. :-) I also believe he speaks French as well as Italian and English, but I could be mistaken. So maybe his accents are just all over the place! :-P
