Greetings Skip. I too am interested in this weeks ER (ie tomorrow). I can't wait. I think it's a classic. It has been hit and miss last few series - some really good episodes but then some crap ones, but this series I think has been (largely) good.

I liked Carter returning but also Morris. He is a good laugh and classic. And you only have to think back 3 or 4 years to when he was a useless junior doctor who wouldn't do anything, and he changed almost over night (or between series) to this excellent doctor he is now.

I disagree, I think it was a very gradual maturing of Morris. I don't think it was overnight. But I think I'm bias.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Well what did you think? The whole Carter thing in hospital reminded me of me when I went in recently. I liked the Benton thing and the way he popped in and still causing trouble for people! It would have been nice, maybe, if Carol had said, 'and the kidney has gone to a doctor in Chicago called...John Carter!'. My fav scene I think was when Doug was quizzing Neela and Sam about County and who was still there. Neela will remember Susan and poss Sam too, I'm not sure, but neither knew others (other than Kerry) and then he was like, is Anspargh (spelling?) still there?! Classic.

Overall I enjoyed it, I didn't think it was too sentimental or OTT. And you might be right about Morris, it being gradual!

That's exactly what I thought!!! They were sooooooo close!

Anspaugh has been in a few episodes over the last few series. I expect we'll see him again before the end.

Why didn't Doug, or Sam say do you remember the nurses? There are loads of them still there.

But it was a great couple of episodes. I'm glad Morris' new lady survived.

Yeah I wish they'd known that it was Carter that got the kidney too!! It was a shame also as Doug asked Nela about everyone but Carter... I would've liked them to make that link, even if it was a bit cheesey

Still good ep last night. Enjoyed that. Nice to see Abby and Ray back, if only for a fleeting couple of minutes. No Carter this week either.

Regarding last weeks double, it would have been nice for them to have mentioned the nurses especially Haleh and Chuney. Also I was trying to work out if Sam was there when Susan was. Neela definately was and I think Sam was too but not sure. And when they were tripping through all the people they could have said 'How about John Carter?'

I loved that episode, and this weeks. Oooh! I love that it's getting so good again. I'm really going to miss it.

I have no idea how they are going to end it. But it does look like everyone will be happy. Maybe they'll end with Archie's wedding?

just watching repeats, they are up to carters addiction and mark's tumour

Its brilliant isn't it Machel ]

Although though ER got a bit schmaltzy and went downhill in the last couple of series, its still my favourite U.S. series after Mad Man and The Wire.

 

I want to watch it over from the beginning... I don't have Sky so I suppose I'll have to get a box set. 

one of my fave us shows - casualty pales into insignificance,

was at its best with drs green, ross and corday, miss romano too, also liked when carter and kovac (sp!) went to africa

Brilliant show Machel  arrrgh I can't decide which is better now  ER or Mad Men. Mad Men got better series on series whereas ER, its like there was different production in later series and it went a bit downhill. But you can't sustain that level of excellence.

 

There was a wonderful quirky but realistic, unsentimental feel to E.R. in the first few series. Abby is my favourite character I think, what twists and turns she went through.

not watched mad men so can't comment on that, 

with ER you could not predict the ending, the "good" sometimes died whilst the "bad" survived, it was very gritty and real life

It was indeed. I think it influenced other shows with its more realistic feel.
