Here's my tiny recap of the season so far (spoilers):






I was kind of upset that Luka and Sam broke up - but after thinking about it, I am kind of relieved - it was getting really old. I do not like how they replaced Sam's son with this new child actor though.... I want that old kid back!

I am enjoying Neela and Shane West's character's relationship. They are like polar opposites.. it's great!

Next week's previews shows Abby and Luka about to kiss... WHOO HOO! I have always loved Abby and I thought Carter was perfect for her - but I could see her and Luka being perfect, too.

What else.... um... John L's character is funny. Will be interesting to see where that goes.

The new head nurse, that chick from 3rd Rock from the Sun... yeah I'm still not sure I like her much. Whenever I see her I always think of 3rd Rock and it distracts me!

Anyway............... I want Gallant to come back from Iraq.

This season is "EH" so far. NExt week's ep looks good.

Okay, my crappy review is over.

Anyone else watching this show that wants to comment?

ER was SO good last night.

I read the spoilers for the next 4 episodes. I just couldnt help myself.

ER is going down the crapper, but it always seems to pick itself up just enough for me to love it all over again.

Viva ER!

Last Thursday's episode was pretty good.

I absolutely adore Neela and Gallant, and while the wedding wasn't the action I would have expected them to take, it was still nice to see them happy. If the writers send Gallant back to Iraq and kill off his character.... I might seriously consider not watching ER anymore. They are notorious for giving a character a little bit of happiness, and then taking that happiness away in a split second, all the while, replacing it with some bitter and mean storyline.

It was nice to see Kerry get some lines, as well. I did miss her! Her drunk scene with Morris was hilarious.

Anyway, all in all a good episode. I heart Neela and Gallant.

I heart hot Dr. Kovach.

I do not heart Abby. :mad:

You have to admit that their scene in the car was freaking hot.

I want Kovach to come at me like that someday, lol.

I love ER's Christmas episodes.

I can't belive Abby is pregnant with Luka's baby. *smacksforehead*

Last week's episode pissed me off.

If Gallant goes back to Iraq and they kill off his character, I don't think I will watch ER anymore.

Last week's was SO GOOD!

They showed like 5 seconds of John Carter on a plane (in Africa). I didn't really care, either. THe main story line was John Leguizamo's character. I am going to miss him when his storyline is up.

Gallant is back in Iraq, and Neela is not happy.

Kovac told Sam about Abby's pregnancy, and you could tell Sam was really affected by it. This will be interesting....

ER was pretty good tonight.

Next week's looks pretty decent as well.

I am definitely feeling uneasy with the whole Neela/Ray thing. The only reason why they are doing it is to make us think about Gallant, who is in Iraq. And why do they want us to do that? Because they are going to kill off Gallant.

I know it. I have a gut feeling.

And when it happens, I seriously need to re-consider why I watch this freaking show.

IF or WHEN Gallant is killed, ER will have officially jumped the shark, in my opinion. They brought him back, had him marry Neela, and for what? Just to make his death that much more sad?

UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Not happy.

It's dying a slow painful death, dont worry.

By season 23 there will be no more fans left.

Must-Move "ER"?

by Joal Ryan
May 9, 2006


Like a granny leaving her longtime home for a less taxing condo, ER may soon be vacate its longtime TV home for a less showy night of the week.

The aged medical drama could be moved from Thursday to Tuesday or Wednesday next fall to make way for the new Matthew Perry series, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, the Hollywood Reporter said.

NBC will make the call when it unveils its 2006-07 lineup on Monday.

ER has aired on Thursdays at 10 p.m. since its September 1994 debut. In its and its network heyday, it was the star of Must-See TV, averaging as many as 30 million viewers a season.

This season, ER is averaging 12.1 million for the now struggling NBC, all in all, not bad for a show that's lost more stars (George Clooney, Anthony Edwards, Julianna Margulies, etc.) than some shows ever had.

But these days, ER is so not appointment TV that not even a guest spot by the returning Noah Wyle rates much interest. The second half of a Wyle story line set in war-torn Darfur ranked a so-so 27th (11.8 million viewers) in the latest Nielsen Media Research rankings. By comparison, CBS' Without a Trace, the new king of 10 p.m. Thursday, ranked eighth (19.1 million) for the TV week ended Sunday.

ER, which has already been renewed for next season, turns 13 seasons old in the fall.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I know the show is gutting up there in terms of "suckage" but I still want this show on Thursday night!!!



spoiler alert.. dont read ahead if you dont want to know what happens in this week's episode... not like there are any ER fans besides me... I'm just being courteous...














PS - This week's episode is not going to be fun for me. I read the spoliers and let's just say I am so freaking pissed that they are killing off Gallant. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING???? They bring Gallant back, have him marry Neela, and then send him back ONLY TO BE KILLED.

Dont play with my heart like that, you mean ER writers.

UGH!@

SO PISSED!!!!!

Good episode tonight. I am so sad that Kerry is leaving. She was one of the originals from season 1 and when she goes, that era will officially be over. :(

So my roommate Kim, has a best friend named Amy. Amy just moved to LA a few months ago. She landed an extra part on ER for two days. Apparently, the casting director loves her and sits her with the main stars, not with the extras on set. Anyway, the casting director said to be ready for future calls to do more work for them and she got a call yesterday to come back as a nurse.

She doesnt have her SAG card yet and apparently ER is tight with their credits or whatever, but at least she is out there.

She also got cast as an extra in Clint Eastwood's new movie, The Changeling, staring Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich.
