Not that it matters, but...

Are you watching DVD's or is ER running on a network someplace? I have the
DVD's through Season 9. After that I wasn't willing to cough up the price
of the DVD because the show was seriously down the tubes after Season 9, but
I would watch it on television

o Dr. Dave has clownophobia. Why am I not surprised?
Mercifully, it wasn't the radiant Dr. Greene who had a
clown-induced meltdown in the middle of the ward. Anyway,
I was reminded of Homer Simpson's irrational fear of sock
puppets. Is Malucci just Homer with a Grenada med school
education? He did seem to say "Mmmm...breasty" when he ate
cereal drenched in Hathaway's milk. Or did I just imagine that?
o Speaking of radiant, just exactly how realistic are the props?
That radiation therapy device looked pretty realistic. Do
they have access to manufacturers' seconds or showroom samples?
Are there "training" devices that lack only the isotopes? Or
is building realistic MRI and radiation devices part of the
production budget? The real thing costs millions (according
to public notices I've seen in the paper). Props can cost
tens, even hundreds of thousands. Is it cheaper to lease the
real thing for the duration of the season shooting schedule?
o LOTW, 00:02: "Kerry, this clown is crashing" - Abby, delivered
like her character was waiting her whole career to say those
words.
o Why do I get the feeling that Carter's going to step in and
assume Abby's ex's financial obligations? Because he can?
o Next from Randiwear, the Ecclesiatic Collection. Mitres and
birettas in all the colors of the rainbow. Exclusively from
Randi's Secret.
o OT: I wish they had those Victoria's Secret commercials when
I was twelve, back when "unmentionables" were, well, never
mentioned. Now I know what the director of _Emanuelle_ is
doing for a living. On sale now. Only from Victoria's Secret.
o Did Bishop Crowell say "meshugger"? Oh, it was "my sugar".
Nevermind.
o God made Romano so he wouldn't have to do the dirty work.
o Mark: "Hep...hep...hep..." Nice impression of Wynton Marsalis
in Ken Burns's "Jazz" documentary. Which should have been
called "Swing", BTW. But that's another rant...
o Evil, perhaps Merciful Thought: Give Luka the DNRs. All of the
DNRs. Keep him away from obstetric cases. If Jody O'Brien's
widower comes in with his second wife (West Wing Crossover! I
See A Great Need! President Bartlett in the er!), break out
the dart gun and nail Luka with a tranquilizer in the back of
the neck. Have Haleh wake him up at 0500, as if he'd been on
call the whole time. Put a cast on his leg while he's out cold,
just for good measure (and continuity's sake).
o Dr. Dave and Jeff: an old Dr. Greene subplot recycled?
o We _finally_ see Gampa, excuse me, Jonathan Truman Carter, Sr.
Looked like an elderly George Hamilton. I missed the credits;
who was it?
o Carter dancing with Abby. Cut to Luka and the Bishop. Kiss me
gently with the Sledgehammer of Obviousness.
o James Tiberius Crowell. No, really, he was much better in
_LA Confidential_.
o Good to see Dr. Greene is hip to telecommuting now, pronouncing
death over that new-fangled wireless. Makes me pine for the old
days of "Squad 51, Engine 51...". We've had the bandwidth to
transmit a multi-channel EKG over UHF for what, 30 years now?
o Abby got all the best lines: 00:51: "Is she old enough to drink?"
o Carter: "A Lexus. Alexis. Get it?" Yes. BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
o Hey, Chase liked limos. Oh, wait. That was all resolved last
week. Nevermind. See you next season, Chase.
o Hey Abby: that "blue BMW" is really black. Sure it's the right
bimmer you're vandalizing?
o Pick a new hat for Mark: Cowboy Hat (Doctor Dubya!)
Doo-rag
Viking helmet
Shriners' fez
Jester's cap (with bells)
Tocque
Packers Cheesehead
Mighty Wig of Dreadlocks
o Kerry: didn't you already make that call for Gabe Lawrence?
If so, why didn't you save the number? If not, why not?
