Too bad people are so triggered by a show with a point of view. Sorry if important issues are too much for you to handle. The familiar and tired "leftist propaganda" mentions are tedious and mean nothing. This show has always been rooted in strong character development. Losing Dr. Kapoor was a sad storyline but one we all saw coming. Anupam Kher's wife is dealing with a serious health issue, so he had to bow out. He will he missed.

I am sorry to hear of the departure of Anupam Kher. I will miss the lovely character and terrific acting. I am particularly sorry for the reason he left the show. Best wishes to his family.

Continuing it's practice of including important current tops of concern, 1 of the main storyline in this episode focused on the gay blood ban. (i'll never forget being denied participation in a blood drive to honor the passing of a coworker's young cousin.) One of the men in this storyline was portrayed by Andre De Shields, a stunning, distinguished man, who it so happens has been HIV+ for 30 years. The man he portrays had been a very active member of ACT UP, and act up he did. And that dovetails in nicely to the storyline of present.

There is another gay storyline in this episode that refers to the Mormon church's publicly stated policy of banning openly LGBT clergy. This set off some viewers for some reason, who posted a slew of 1&2 star reviews. Similar to when the excellent movie The Promise was flooded with low ratings from Armenian Genocide deniers. They used to have separate discussion forums where people could state such concerns, without dragging down the ratings of a film due to political concerns.

***BIG SPOILER*** The only disappointment to this episode was the apparent 'retirement' of Dr. Kapoor, prolly my fave character. I'm hoping they will reverse this. But from Anupam Kher's bio. He's very busy with other projects. So good for him, bad for me. :<)

Please, please, be an example of the good you want to be in the world. Be informed, check your facts, and do not be an example of what you are preaching against. Last week you promoted racism while preaching against racism. Now you are preaching tolerance while not being tolerant AND preaching being informed while not being informed.

If you agree that people should be allowed to live how they want, and be who they want to be, and that people can change, then how can you discriminate against religions? If people can change their biological sex, and change their biological hormones, and change all kinds of things about them, then how come they can't change their behavior? If we can allow people to refuse treatment for their cancer or other conditions, then why laying on judgement regarding a person's life choice of religion when all should accept other life choices? Please be what you preach! Do not try to dictate which life choices are ok and which aren't. Just stop. Be the example of tolerance you are preaching.

And please, please, inform yourselves. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints does not require members to be married, and absolutely does not require people to "try" a heterosexual marriage if they do not think that is possible. Furthermore, a marriage is not just for children. Children are not a "cornerstone" of the religion. Eternal families are. The Church believes that we are ALL God's family, and we do not need to have children of our own to be a part of God's family, we already are.

Please, please, be what you preach. I loved this show from the beginning. I watched this show from the beginning. And I know this show wants to be an example, I know this show wants to promote good, but you aren't. You are promoting different prejudices and different biases while trying to wipe them out. Please, please, FIX THIS.
