  • Episode Recap: "Officer Down" | ER | 10/12/2007
    Tensions were running high tonight as our favorite doctors, distracted by their own personal problems and agendas, dealt with the shootings of two police auxiliary officers. Morris internalized his grief over the loss of his father but externalized his frustration as he doggedly fought to save the lives of the victims and vented his anger on a veteran officer (Mimi Kennedy) assigned to oversee their training. I simply can’t say enough about the fine work that Scott Grimes continues to turn in as a former slacker who has emerged as a talented doctor, mostly in spite of himself. When he opened up to Abby about his loss, it clarified a lot about his motivation to be a better doctor. Morris’ colleagues had their own share of drama to contend with as well. While trying to sort out his relationship with Bettina, Pratt treated a high-school wrestler secretly battling bulimia. Gates pulled strings with Dubenko to get his unwilling young ICU prodigy into a clinical trial just as... read more
  • Episode Recap: "The War Comes Home" | ER | 9/28/2007
    Has it really been almost four months since last we spoke? I don’t know about you guys, but as summer fades into fall, I am so ready to slip into my scrubs and welcome the start of season 14. As rumors swirl about whether or not this will be the last shift for our beloved staff at Chicago's County General, I am ready to settle in and enjoy the gurney ride. Indeed, the action picked up tonight right where we left off in May when we learned about Ray’s horrific injuries and watched as Neela was trampled in the chaotic aftermath of an anti-war demonstration gone horribly wrong. (Actually, I suspect that this particular episode was actually filmed at the end of last season.) Dr. Moretti (Stanley Tucci) kicked off his official reign as ER chief with the resulting “mass casualty” and Neela’s life hung in the balance as a battalion of her friends and colleagues worked tirelessly to save her life. My only disappointment was that any suspense around Neela’s... read more
  • February 8, 2007: Dying Is Easy.... | ER | 2/9/2007
    So let’s start with the important stuff first. I am thrilled to report that all the bad facial hair in the ER has left the building (at least for the time being). The porn ‘stache is gone and the Stamos stubble is now a mere (five o’clock) shadow of its former self. The disturbance in the force has been resolved and now we can get back to focusing on important medical matters, like how ridiculously tall, dark and yummy Goran Visnjic is. (Oh, and you can be sure there will be more on that in a minute. I just need to regroup after all the crying I just did.) ER has an amazing track record with memorable guest appearances, and that streak continued tonight. As a huge fan of Six Feet Under and his work on that show, it was great to see Freddy Rodriguez as Simon, the leukemia-stricken comedian. His interaction with Abby, Sam and Morris was very entertaining and bittersweet, and I was glad to see that he finally got a chance to do his act, albeit from a hospital bed. Sam,... read more
  • December 7, 2006: City of Mercy | ER | 12/8/2006
    We’re getting ready for winter break, folks, but this episode was the perfect finale to what has been a fantastic fall for our beloved ER. I have always enjoyed the holiday-themed episodes, and tonight was no exception. While this one probably wouldn’t rank up there with some of the classic Christmases in the ER in my book (remember the one where Jeannie Boulet put her star on top of the ER Christmas tree?), it did have the distinction of featuring Goran Visnjic dressed as a reindeer. Just when I thought Luka couldn’t get any more adorable, I am proven wrong. Despite a healthy dose of romances old and new, it wasn’t all mistletoe and merriment. Luka and Abby learned that Ames filed a restraining order after their confrontation. The conversation that Luka and Abby had in the apartment was very telling. When Abby talked about being afraid of losing what they have, she encapsulated, in just a few words, the concerns of all the viewers who care so much about the... read more
  • October 5, 2006: Somebody to Love | ER | 10/6/2006
    Before I start on the juicy stuff, I need someone to explain to me why, in the 13th season of a show, someone thought it was a good idea to change the theme music. I understand that the trend with a lot of shows is to forego the opening credits and I don’t necessarily have a problem with that. But why change such a recognizable and long-standing part of the show? Those first few percussive strains have always been my signal to get back to the couch! I’ve mentioned before how small, familiar touches have really helped maintain the continuity for me amid the numerous cast changes, and the theme music has always been a part of that. Bad call. Anyway, I was so glad to see the wonderful John Mahoney back at home on NBC acting his heart out (and singing) as Bennett Cray. He was always my favorite part of Frasier, but this character was a far cry from the conservative, old-fashioned Martin Crane he skillfully embodied for so long. The love story between Bennett and his... read more
