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... 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... 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... 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.... 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,... read more
