ER 12-02: "A Shot In The Dark"

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn...


I wish this show had NYPD Blue's old policy...

First of all... for putting the non-spoilerific title of the episode in the thread title.

Secondly, I was hoping the same thing. But I think they only take 80 year old nudity into consideration. At least I still have that glorious footage of Charlotte on my computer.

Thirdly, glad to see Neela grow a set and take Ray down a couple.

Ray's a punk with a M.D. Glad Neelah unzipped her fly and showed Ray who's the medicine man. I knew the bald cop was covering up for friendly fire by his zeal for the "perp" to die. That didn't portray Chicago's Finest in its best light.

Did Wendell's ex scare Carter away from Wendell at the rock-climb place? Carter seemed off his game after the rock-climbing portion of the evening. They are very cute together, well, 99% of the cuteness comes from Madchen Amick's part of the pairing.

The overall tone of the episode lacked a spark to it as it mainly laid dormant for most of the hour.

I don't think the ER audience really needed to hear Kovach stumble through the "spank your monkey" talk that all boys get when they are in middle school (maybe Alex is in elementary school, who knows these days...)

Deb is burning the candle on both ends, and it's not a pretty sight. Pratt, for a guy who missed the spleen diagnose, has a sharp eye when Deb pilfered the potassium for her father.

The little girl with appendix-to-be-bursting ailment and the hesitant parents subplot didn't really cover new ground as it was obvious the parents had a relative die in surgery at County General.

Overall, a so-so episode.

meh

I got up about 20 mintes in and did some work on the computer with it on in the background.

I can't stand Shane West or his character.

I'm not very impressed w/ his portrayal either. Hiss character is a complete tool - that's why enjoyed Neela's rant towards him at the end.

I like the continued appearances of Madchen Amick.

I'm just glad I'm not in a school bathroom stall when I'm reading it.
er... I mean, Walmart stopped carrying because it's indecent it so it must be porn.

Glad he never brought that kid over for dinner. One look at Sam and it would've been Junior League Pee Wee Herman time.

Did anyone else hate the "Alro's Choice" story from the start?

Does anyone else find it odd that Carter would be sniffing around another woman?
He breaks up with Abby and he behaves like a lost little boy who lost his mommy....first there was the blonde in Africa. Then Kem and now this blonde. Rebound to rebound to rebound.
Frankly I find it odd that he seems to stay away from Abby. It's like he doesn't want to get too close to her because she knows him best.

Yes, especially if she's as beastly as that facial-skin-stapled-behind-her-ears social worker broad. I'll take the Indian gal or the nurse. Apropos nurse: anyone else find the idea of a kid that young yanking it creepy...but strangely arousing? What are they putting in the food these days? In my day, not too long ago, you didn't start popping the mushroom zit until you were into your second decade.
