Complaining and ZCE


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Began as a saner, more mature counterpart to ''Grey's Anatomy'', only to gradually sink to levels of hysteria even ''Grey's'' would deem garish. One could say it started as ''[[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs Grey's Anatomy]]'' [[LighterAndSofter on antidepressants]], and ended as ''[[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs Grey's Anatomy ]]'' on a cocktail of Meth and Bath Salts.

Not ymmv, also insufficient context. ship sinking must refer to a specific scene intended to disprove a pairing per TRS https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1640420480098263500


* ShipSinking: Cooper and Violet after he got together with Charlotte and lost his feelings for Violet.
** Addison and Pete at the end of Season 3, when they respectively choose Sam and Violet.
** Sheldon and Amelia, after she straight-up tells him she'll never love him back during her intervention. While they still got back together, they're more akin to friends than an actual couple. [[spoiler:Doesn't help that the latter just went through the death of her boyfriend and son]].

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Early in Season 3, in order to get some perspective on one of her patients, Violet poses Cooper a hypothetical: [[spoiler: Charlotte is raped, falls pregnant by the rapist, and decides to keep it. Cooper responds with "Don't hypothetically rape my girlfriend!". A year later, Charlotte being raped is no longer a hypothetical.]]

Removing ROCEJ sinkhole as per discussion.


* TheScrappy: [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment Let's just say that some characters were worthy of that sinister title in some seasons]], prior to CharacterDevelopment. Initially Violet was one, but slowly pulled herself out of this category. Then Sam became one because of his treatment of Addison in late seasons.

Removing entries that don't mention creator preferred ones. Feel free to add back if there is ones. Plus, this tree potholes Official Couple for at least three different pairings listed, which can't be this trope.


* FanPreferredCouple: [[OfficialCouple Pete and Violet]], Cooper and Violet in season 1, later [[OfficialCouple Cooper and Charlotte]].
** Addison and Sam. ADDISON AND SAM, until recently when he started getting indecisive.
** Also, Naomi and Gabriel.
** [[OfficialCouple Addison and Jake]], on the grounds he actually likes kids and her.
** Sheldon and Amelia have a pretty passionate fan base, although Ryan and James don't often get the DieForOurShip treatment ([[spoiler: although that may be because Ryan did]]).
