Episode Recap: 300 Patients | ER | 12/7/2007
As we celebrated the landmark 300th outing of ER tonight with a rare episode directed by series executive producer John Wells, I was thrilled to see the powerhouse acting of Maura Tierney and Goran Visnjic as the centerpiece of the episode. For those of us who have been fans since that very first episode 14 years ago (is that even possible?), it is gratifying to see this show still telling compelling, heartfelt stories about characters that we care about. I haven’t always liked where the story went, but I’ve certainly enjoyed the ride. Thank God Abby finally came clean to Luka. I honestly didn’t think I was going to be able to take much more of “relapse Abby” and I was so relieved that all the secrets and lies were out on the table. There are a million things I could say about the unfortunate timing of Abby’s disclosure in the wake of Luka’s loss, but my complaint would be mostly about the acrobatics that the writers have had to perform to work... read more
Episode Recap: Skye's the Limit | ER | 11/30/2007
There’s a new chief in town…again. And apparently, she’s just as horny as the last one. I love that Lucien happened to be the beneficiary of Wexler’s “love the one you’re with” approach to relationships, though I don’t think that will end up satisfying him emotionally in the long run. Despite some light moments in this episode directed by the former Dr. "Watch out for that helicopter" Romano, Paul McCrane, there was some heavy stuff going on tonight. Wexler’s first night in her new job brought a tragic case of a misunderstanding gone terribly wrong. The bigoted son’s misguided attempt at revenge over his father’s life-altering injury went awry and resulted in the murder of the Hispanic woman’s son. Meanwhile, Pratt found himself at a career crossroads as he began to doubt his future at County; and Tony juggled the demands of his own parenting adventures while handling the case of an injured boy and his... read more
Episode Recap: "Coming Home" | ER | 11/16/2007
I don’t know about all of you, but as tonight’s episode started, I was still reeling from last week’s gut-wrenching exploration of Abby’s dark night of the soul. So, when I saw Luka come around that corner, I practically cried tears of joy. But my happiness, like Abby’s, was short-lived as it became obvious that the repercussions of her drunken mistake have yet to fully play out. I agree with those of you who continue to post about Maura Tierney’s amazing, consistently compelling performance. After watching her give another bravura turn tonight (under the direction of ER vet Laura Innes) I have to say that it would be criminal for her to be overlooked again come awards time. Unfortunately, it seems that the show’s buzz-worthiness has long since worn off, a fact that keeps it off the radar of most Emmy voters. (Though, it should be noted, guest stars are regularly rewarded for their ER efforts, so it appears someone is taking notice.) Back to the... read more
Goran Visnjic's Shocking ER Return | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 11/15/2007
If Luka knew what was waiting for him, he might've stayed in Croatia. After several months in his native country tending to his ill father, a clueless Dr. Kovac (Goran Visnjic) finally returns to Chicago in tonight's ER (10 pm/ET, NBC). And what a homecoming he'll get. As viewers know, Luka's wife, fellow doc Abby Lockhart (Maura Tierney), hasn't been in the best emotional shape lately. Lonely and overwhelmed by work and new motherhood, Abby has gone back to boozing, leading to a very bad ... read more
Episode Recap: "Blackout" | ER | 11/9/2007
“I still remember when Mark Greene and Doug Ross were running the place.” Me too, Chuny. Me too. What a nice shout-out to the long and storied history of our beloved ER. I do love the episodes that allow the cast to interact outside the workplace. Not only did we learn that Chuny’s real name is Ethyl (who would have guessed), but we also got to see the chemistry between Dubenko and Neela on full display, Pratt exercising his newly legit attending muscles and, sadly, Abby falling even further into the abyss of her alcoholism while still proving what excellent instincts she has as a doctor. Witnessing Abby’s disintegration was really painful, especially for those of us who have seen this character turn her life around over the past few years. I know that the writers had to work around the absence of Goran Visnjic in some way, but I really wish Abby’s character hadn’t taken such a hit. It is most certainly a credit to Maura Tierney that my reaction to... read more
