Re: ER - The Final 4 Episodes -- "Old Times" -- 03/12/09
I tried watching the season premier from the previous season (14, I think) and just couldn't get into it.
I'm going to give tonight a try, and hopefully with the old faces it will be easier to get into... After watching the series for 10 years, I'd like to be part of the finale.

I've been watching the episodes with cameos from familiar faces but that's it....
E.R. has been pretty bad since Carter left the show full time....

I've seen about 95% of the ER episodes. I gave up at the end of last season. This season didn't start very strong at all. But ever since the Greene episode, the episodes have been SUPERB. The last couple of weeks have been reminiscent of Season 8 in my opinion. I'm really looking forward to it.

The beginning of this feels like ER: The Movie due to the cast tonight

That was a huge blow to the show but it was still good for awhile after that IMO. Season 9 still had Carter, Lewis, Jing-Mei Chen, & Weaver plus people like Corday, Pratt, Kovac, Lockhart, & Romano (he was awesome). Amazing episode tonight & it was great to see some familiar faces.

Loved the Carter and Benton scenes.
Great to see Doug and Carol again and the scene where Doug is asking Neela and Sam if anyone he worked with is still there was nice.

Every season has had some stand out episodes. This was a pretty good one and Clooney/Margulies weren't even the best part. I thought Sarandon did an excellent job and my favorite scenes were with Benton especially in the operating room.
I hated Weaver, Kovac & Romano for the most part.
Remember when Carter turned off his monitor last week? It showed a low heart rate, I believe. I think he may have some complications related to his heart or a transplant rejection.
I can't believe Hathaway/Ross didn't know the recipient's name of the kidney transplant (or the heart).

Great episode. I'm glad Clooney finally decided to do it-- or maybe he intended to all along and was just throwing people off.

Loved the Benton/Carter stuff. I began to think back to the first few episodes when Benton was a complete dick to Carter and was kind of tickled at the way things worked out in the end.

i'm surprised all the old docs didn't just have throwaway cameos, but were actually the bulk of the ep, especially Clooney.
but, not tying Ross/Hathaway to the liver for Carter was just stupid/lazy (they probably just didn't want to write extra scenes with all 4 of them together or even a call by R/H to him or something, but for them not to know who it was for at all?). and when Ross named all the docs he knew except Carter was just stupid imo.
