Canada gets this 2 hours ahead apparently so I realize that it’s not over yet for most of you guys, but that opener was pretty terrible. Tuned in for the first time since Carter left and wasn’t impressed. 15 years is a long time to come up with new ideas, but it seems like every character is sorta loosely based on someone who came before. Time to put this to bed. Looking forward to the cameos tho
I’ve been with the show since the beginning. I won’t say it’s all been good since it hasn’t (i.e. Thandie Newton, tank rampages, etc.), but I have to admit tonight’s episode really affected me, almost in the same way as Dr. Greene’s farewell episode (so happy he’s returning albeit for a flashback). I didn’t realize I liked Pratt that much, but then maybe the episode was just emotionally manipulative. At least I’m still meant to hate Nephew Anspaugh with a passion.
Regarding the unhappy rule, I always thought the cancer comeback was some sort of bad karma for when Dr. Greene let his wife’s stalker/would-be-attacker die in the elevator. Still, I hated to see him ago. I agree completely with Rath’s original post.
And speaking of Dr. Greene, it always bothered me that Ross and Hathaway weren’t shown at Dr. Greene’s funeral. FFS, Michal Ironside was there!
Quick question: When they were taking Pratt upstairs to harvest his organs, was the music an arrangement of the original theme? You’d think they’d at least bring that back for the final season.
Argh, I’m babbling. Sorry.
Whoa wait they killed Pratt?
He was the one character I liked on the show as of late.
Really don’t like them killing off Pratt. He was the least fucked up of any main carachter on the show. And he was a really likeable guy. But it was really telegraphed from last seasons finale (about to be offerd the ER Chief position, gonna propose to his GF, getting closer to his brother, etc…) but I guess it just follows the ER axiom…nobody can leave the place happy/alive.
And the toasted him with fucking cheese sticks…what the hell
I assume they are going to kill off one character an episode. Who’s next? I’m guessing it’s going to be one of the nurses. Bye-bye, Puerto Rican nurse whose name I never learned.
I’m pissed, Pratt is the only one I liked! Why should I continue watching? Sam is the one who should of gotten the axe. Why did Greg have to leave, everything was falling into place. I hope to see him on another gig soon, he reminds me of my sister in law’s boyfriend. So I guess I could look at him and think of Greg Pratt.
It was just so sad to see that tear roll down his face knowing that he was probably not going to make it. BOO HOO I am still crying!!!
I do remember the fucked up way they killed Omar Epps. Guy kills himself by throwing himself in front of an EL Train and they kept paging him and it turns out the guy on the gurney is him.
BTW is Kubiak still working there?
Oh my gosh, Hocken this is so weird. My sister is the only one I know that still watches the show so I kept bugging her to hurry up and watch it…I needed some therapy. So I finally talked to her today and she said, “yeah, that was pretty bad.” Then she said, “why do they kill all the black guys off so sadly? Remember how they killed off Omar Epps?” We talked about that for a while and she gave me some insight. She is in the medical field and she said that ER comes up with some crazy stuff. It was funny to see your post after I just talked about that with my sister. She told me to keep watching, I have invested all these years into this show and what…I am not going to watch anymore??? So I guess I will. Kovac (the Bosnian) is still there but he and Abby are going to leave in the next couple of episodes.
Thanks for the comment. I am feeling better.
Well at least Abby and Kovac made it out intact. Who’s next to fade away?

I half expected a semi truck or run away ambulance to come out of no where and plow into Abby and Euro Clooney. But it is nice to see someone get out safely.
My guess is the only other happy ending we see is with Carter and maybe Morris. Everybody else is gonna die or have their lives totally fucked over.
The wall was a nice touch though, i liked that.

Yeah I liked that too, but there were a few names I didn’t recognize/remember. Of course, I can’t remember them now either. Anyone have a screengrab?
Bump.
Just caught up on the last 3 episodes on DVR. I think it’s safe to say the final few episodes will pack quite the emotional wallop, what with Carter back and apparently on kidney dialysis. He was always my favorite character.

Carter is basically dead man walking at this point.

Maybe that’s the writers way of agreeing that ending the show with Green’s death would have been the optimal way to go out. Or I could be projecting.

NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE.
Looks like Neela gets whacked this week.
So now it’s out in the open about Carter’s problem. Felt like seeing an old friend, what with him working in the ER again. I hope he lives.

He’s just picking up some shifts while he searches for a new kidney that I’m gonna guess resides in Clooney or Margules.
I absolutly hate that they are reviving the Ray/Neela story line. I hoped it was as gone as Ray’s legs.
Isn’t Benton coming back, too? Maybe Benton gives it to him.
I can’t remember if anyone donated blood to him when he was stabbed in season 7. At least then we’d know who could possibly give him a kidney.

My bad, the new preview was a bit clearer so it appears Morris’ cute new girlfriend is gonna get mowed down. Even money she gets taken out because Morris made an issue out of the suspect beating.
I’d lay money that Carter dies by the end of the season, too.
