Maybe she never got divorced either LMAO.

If they showed us stuff that took place off the ship but not in ports, I might be a little suspicious of my own theory, but you never see them go somewhere in LA LMAO.

But how can you commit suicide in a computer program? Or is it like The Matrix?

TBH having a destination wedding on a cruise ship would be a lot easier if you could just upload everyone into a computer program. But at the same time, how would everyone get sick in a computer program? LMAO. And with diseases that make zero fucking sense in reality...



eta and I was thinking this show has more in common with Rick and Morty than you'd think, but like... Rick and Morty also had a San Junipero episode.

i had a thought the other day like will the season end when their cruise season ends thus the summer break for us is also them spending months apart? we shall see.

maybe people getting sick is a virus in the system!

[squirrels_oh_no]

I forgot they fucking used Heaven Is a Place on Earth in the FUCKING TRAILERS.

I googled Doctor Odyssey + San Junipero and there are actually a few articles wondering if it is indeed a San Junipero situation. Although, if they did go THAT obvious by using the same song, I would side-eye the hell out of them LMAO.

But what if when the season ends they just get turned off? We don't hear about what they do during that time - at least not from Tristan, Avery, and the Captain. And I think Avery wouldn't just be like 'See you guys in a few months!' this time.

idk it could also always be an isekai - imagine if it's some video game and at the "end of the season" it's a new version of the game released LMAO. Now that would be a stretch. Also Ready Player One-adjacent.

[spellgabbana]

ohhhh, wow! i wonder if they really pushed the heaven imagery so it can be a little surprising if it's not heaven and actually a different take on the "afterlife"?

yeah, i can't see avery doing that either, so however they handle that break could be a sign of something!

[squirrels_oh_no]

Well I'm rewatching San Junipero out of curiosity and they don't reveal the twist immediately but the characters do know that it isn't real and at least from Max you definitely get the idea he doesn't think anything is weird. But even the viewer thinks something is just off about this ship and it's not just that it's a fancy ship. They're not hiding that, it's obvious something is off but the characters (except maybe the captain given how many times he references heaven but even him I'm not so sure - he might be God who knows) don't know it. But it would be funny if they did know.

Maybe the ship is computerized coma therapy and Max is the patient and avery, tristan, and the captain are his therapists and everyone else is just window dressing.

[spellgabbana]

yeah, i always thought at least max isn't aware but we don't know for sure if that's the case. the captain definitely feels like the one character who knows what's up. it could be part of why he makes his "all kinds of love!" and "can one person meet all your needs?" sentiments that clearly feel like they're coming from someone who's a bit more all-knowing than he should be.

it could be that all the patients they deal with are cases he's had before or are used to just keep his brain active!

[squirrels_oh_no]

Yeah the Captain is waaaaay too on the nose fairly often. But like, Tristan's mother could have come to visit her comatose son and realized it was too hard and bounced early from her visit.

Maybe he's keeping them all captive in a simulation and he's actually the villain. But that still doesn't explain the visitors thing. Or people dying. Or plastic surgery week.

[squirrels_oh_no]

Oh, and PS - I want to know how Full House can exist in the Doctor Odyssey universe given John Stamos' guest spot on the show LMAO.

[spellgabbana]

lmao i didn't think about it until later that they probably did that line because of stamos.

[squirrels_oh_no]

My dad is officially caught up: "Must be one of the strangest shows ever" lmao. THAT is what he has to say.

[spellgabbana]

he's not wrong!

[squirrels_oh_no]

I still think people who haven't watched an episode have no clue how utterly unhinged this show is and how 1000% departed from reality it is. But now my dad knows what a twunk is.

I mean, it looks like your standard medical procedural with the fun twist that it's on a cruise ship, but noooooo, this show is batshit wild beyond the insane medical issues.

[spellgabbana]

it really is funny to think of someone just putting on this show like it's going to be similar to chicago med or something. like i knew things could get weird since i watch 9-1-1 but even that doesn't compared to what's happening on the odyssey so far!

[squirrels_oh_no]

My phone recommended to me this article https://www.tvinsider.com/1162558/ask-matt-mockumentary-st-denis-medical-doctor-odyssey-friday-night-lights/ lmao some boomers are not happy.

[spellgabbana]

BOOOO to them, we want fun shows.
