Er 11/21
I don't know... I found it was kind of boring this week. I am so bored of that Abby and her brother plot, get something else going. I found tonight's episode tame at best, their whole
That's about all I have to say... I didn't watch it with as much interest as the previous weeks.

And here I thought Kim Bauer was the only one with the ability to bring a show to a screeching halt.
No MORE...
Abby Lockheart now wins the prize.
Yawn. Wake me when her brother's in his Government issued straight-jacket.
Anyways...
Another Pratt-less episode. Yet, also Romano-less.
I was hoping the drunk driver would need intensive internal surgery and they'd let Nathan perform it with rusty equipment while he was seizing. But, alas...

Yup, I agree.
Very tame and boring episode this week.
Especially after all the NBC hype promoing this.
A huge yawner.
I kept looking at the time:
"OK, there is still half an hour left, still plenty of time for something cool to happen"
"Ok, 15 mins. left, something cool could still happen"
"Counting down to the end, can't believe this episode was that boring."

Oh yeah, bahist17, I forgot to mention that in my rant. I thought Abby flippin off her mom behind the column was funny. The rest of it was borrrrrrrring.
I didn't think the "family getting plowed" storyline was that bad. And I only say this because I was trying to imagine how I would react in that situation, so I could feel the father's pain.

I enjoyed seeing Jeff Kober get one of his twice-a-decade opportunities to play a regular person.
My chief regret about this (not too bad) episode was that Tom Everett Scott (as good as he's been), was available to take this role, instead of being where he should have been: working on Philly.
Say it with me: ABC Sucks .

It was an okay episode that would've been better if the entire plot wasn't already summed up in the ads they've been running every 15 mins. this week.
Thanks for posting this, I was trying to figure out where I knew the father from. According to IMDB he guest stared as 'Rack' on Buffy plus a few more parts where I've seen him.

When I saw Cheadle's character go to stick the otoscope into that girl's ear, I was like, "Oh, no, he's not going to..."
*jerk* *squish-rip* "Aaaaaaaah!"
"Oh my gosh, he did."
And I was a little ticked off that Gallant's uniform was dicked up. The tail on his beret shouldn't have been sticking out... he should've tucked it away or cut it off. And I have no idea what patch he was wearing on his left shoulder... there are only two patches that military med students should be wearing, and he wasn't wearing either of them. Attention to detail, people...

You have to love Corday, flunking Nathan...with compassion. Glad she got through to Nathan in the end. I guess we've seen the last of Nathan?
I'm pretty much over the bi-polar brother storyline for Abby.
The family getting plowed by the drunk was above average, and Kober did a good job with what they gave him to do. Korday showed a few sides of her non-bitchy side in this episode and came through in the clutch.

Yup, he was one China Beach as the whacked out soldier.
2 of main China Beach's stars are now also working on TV:
Marg Helgenberg - CSI
Dana Delaney - Presidio Med

Waaaaaaay too boring. Actually watched some of US Marshals on TBS! Seriously. And then The Whole Nine Yards. ER needs to do something more interesting than the typical family rocked by drunk driver plotline. Snore.

Abbey's family story is unoriginal. On the other hand Don Cheadle should get a nod too bad he won't be around to much longer. That's the only possitive thing going on right now. Pray for a better episode next week if it's not a repeat.

I think there's no new ER next week, might be pre-empted by some other programming. I know know that NBC has concerts by Shania Twain, Tim McGraw, and Faith Hill on successive nights (I think starting next Tuesday).

1) no previews at the end of last night's ep
2) it's Thanksgiving Day

Guessing the same thing (too lazy to look it up myself) based on:

2) it's Thanksgiving Day

Oh well, the show is pretty lame anymore, who cares?

A lot of the Air Force stuff was messed up too. I was stationed in Omaha so I know for a fact that they don't drive around in Humvees and there aren't any stealth fighters there unless there is an airshow going on.

And Robert Picardo was on Voyager, which had an episode with a murderer, played by Jeff Kober
so has anyone else noticed ER starting early?
it was a fairly good episode, better than some, and Corday wasn't a total biatch like the last few weeks

I thought this ER episode was fine. Not sure where the military brother story is going, I hope there is some pay off. I thought the family hit near the snowman to be compelling as I wondered what it would be like to be that dad in that position.
Obviously the storyline about the seizures is nearing some sort of decision or direction after he jammed the scope in the girl's ear. It's hard to watch that guy dealing with his disability.
But more importantly, Marg and Dana. Damn, I miss China Beach.
