ER I don't know about you, but...
ER I don't know about you, but I really wish one of these rare "special appearances" by
Noah Wyle would involve Carter actually showing up at County General rather than just these far-away places. I'd be satisfied with even one Chicago visit, like the recent episode where
Sharif Atkins briefly appeared in town. Well, I guess a Sudanese desert-based Carter is better than no Carter at all, eh? I did enjoy seeing him do scenes with
Mary McCormack and
Eamonn Walker. How horrible for that Lwendo guy to abandon his wife after he found out she was raped. Speaking of Eamonn, I love seeing yet another former
Oz cast member get work. I keep waiting for
Harold Perrineau and
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje to walk by each other on
Lost and do a "Where have I seen you before?" double take. Back to
ER, I expected Clemente to be much more overjoyed when Jodie came out of her coma. I was like "wake up!" — thank goodness they both did. Yes, he appeared happy, but I wanted joyful
tears from
John Leguizamo. Great line of Jodie's — "Don't you leave me now, jerk" — and, hello, how relieved were you when the "gun" Jodie's psycho ex pointed to Clemente was just his fingers? My favorite part of the episode was Pratt taking the initiative in convincing his alcoholic friend Darnell to turn himself in, followed by Darnell's son K.J. thanking Pratt for doing so. Very pleasant seeing Luka and Clemente play nice — glad Clemente agreed to taking the psychiatric tests. And no, Abby and Luka did
not mention
Celine,
Jewel (and jokingly
Charo and
Liberace) as possible baby names! I was totally waiting for a
Cher mention. —
