LOVED IT. LOVED IT. LOVED IT.
Loved the final scene. LOVED LOVED LOVED. Morris rocks and I wish all the best to Scott Grimes who II love dearly. I actually loved Rac-hell. See Benton, that's Elizabeth fuuucking Corday and you could have jumped into her bones, but nooooo you had her, you let her and now you are stuck with Cleobot. Reeese! Lily!!! Lydia! Haleh! Malik! Jerry! Yoshi!!!! PABLO!!! THE EL!!! Yeah, Bansfield, you don't belong here. Shut up, Sam. Kem is the biggest beyotch ever, fuuuck her. Five years later she is still acting like if she was the only one who lost a child. Ernest Borgnine is one of my all time favorite actors and he rocked his scenes. LOVED LOVED LOVED.

I liked it. I wish I hadn't had my hopes up for Doug/Carol, cause then I would have liked it even more. I like how it was just a normal episode. Nothing
big and crazy. The ending was nice, but that shot of county was so random. We'd never seen that before. Ugh, I HATE Kem. Go home and stay there. I enjoyed
Elizabeth more this time more than on the Neela interview. I very much enjoyed Benton, Susan, Carter and Weaver. I really really liked the flashback before
hand. Possibly more than the episode? It will all have to sink in.
And I am looking forward to watching a season one episode on TNT tomorrow. ER will never really be gone...

I'll someday detail all the BS involved in watching this episode in my memoirs...and then dashing through the hall through a bunch of students to get my
bawling and snotty self to a bathroom.
The end was perfect. Absolutely perfect. I was warned in advance that I would cry, and I did, and it was still amazing. So amazing I won't bring up Chaz STILL being a first-year. I loved Morris. I loved Frerry. I loved Carter and Susan and Benton and Weaver and Corday. I loved, loved, loved the final solid line being "Dr. Greene...you coming?" I loved Reese. I loved the patients. Damnit, I liked Gates and Newlex. I felt midly warm towards Sam, Banfield, and Brenner. I ADORED Lydia and Haleh and Lily and Chuny and Malik and all the pink-scrub gang. I loved the El. I loved the hospital. I still hated Kem but involuntarily gasped when she walked in. I loved that John Wells wrote the episode and wish he'd been writing them all along. Perfect music, perfect camera work, perfect storylines (the car was overdone, but I'm on a roll), perfect timing. But really, it all came down to someone being woken up by Lydia in the call room, a couple of shout-outs to the longtime fans (anyone get a rush when they were televising the storm on TV?), the old credits, and the final scene. Stellar. Absolutely stellar.

Did Susan ever mention her child?
I was sort of hoping Carter and Susan would hook up. Now that he looks older and she looks younger, it seems more fitting. |

Except for the way my local station is screwing up the widescreen (only got half of GV's face in the interview), I enjoyed the show. I didn't like the focus on an intern we had never seen before or the absence of Doug and Luka cameos, but overall they did a good job of spreading the story around to all the characters. Loved Banfield's "who are you" to Susan. There was a rumor that Susan would mention a new boyfriend; I'm glad they didn't go there. Reese looks exactly the same all grown up. It was kind of funny how the gang told Benton to have Cleo babysit instead of having him invite her. Hee Who did Carter have to call at 6AM? Was he going to try begging Kem one more time? Give it up Carter; she's just not into you. |

I just have one nit to pick with this episode. Remember back when Kerry and Anspaugh first showed the clinic plans to Carter, and he sneered about the money
being wasted on a "sculpture garden" and other frills, and told them to re-work the plans? Somebody forgot about that part, because the Carter
Center reception area they showed us looked like a high-end Wall Street firm. Other than that, they didn't really hit a false note in the whole thing.
Those people who returned were there in a non-contrived way, it was not too jarring. The last scene was great. I was expecting a cheesy moment when Carter put his feet up on the desk, so glad that didn't happen. Were we meant to think that Carter would call Kem at 6AM and grovel and plead his way back into her good graces? Forget it, Carter, she's just not that into you. As far as I can recall, NONE of Carter's long string of love interests has ever been that into him, so it is not surprising that Kem isn't, either. The highlight, for me, was seeing all the nurses together again. Rachel was OK. Ernest Borgnine was stellar. Reese was sweet. Shut up, Sam. You know the weird part? After the episode was over, I found myself waiting for a preview of the next episode. Which is stupid, but I still cannot quite believe it is over. In spite of everything I've said about the writing over the years, I will miss it so much. |

Reese was sweet
Legal, I was in the chatroom with Iczer and I kept saying "Legal will love to see Reese again!" |

I was glad to Reese again--and the nurses too. Especially Lydia and Malik
Agree about the Carter Center being too showy; I was thinking "You could have run the place for another year if you had cut back on the stonework in the lobby." A perfect way to end things--nothing has ended, really--everything just keeps on going. I only wish we could be there to see it... |

Rachel really did seem to be "fixed". I think this was the first time I have seen that actress not playing evil or delinquent.

Halle Hirsch is a wonderful actress Saw her as a killer on 'Judging Amy' a couple of times but she was a hoot in 'You've Got Mail'. My
daughter was hooked on "Flight 29 Down' for a while. We like her a WHOLE lot better than Hayden Panetiere.

I loved the finale!
Thought it was great to see Susan, Kerry, Benton and Corday in a way that didn't seem weird or just- "here are some old er characters" sort of way. SS looked fantastic! This is the first time I actually liked Rachel- I thought she was great. I even didn't HATE Sam- too bad they waited for the last show to make her even semi-likeable. LOVED seeing all the old nurses. I just thought it was well done and a nice way to end things. A couple of things I didn't like- agree upthread about the showiness of the Carter Center- it looked like a modern art museum, not a medical facility! And there really was no point of Kem- that bugged the heck out of me- what a bey-otch! I liked the way it ended- just going on. Loved the "are you coming, Dr Greene" line! I am with whoever said- I was waiting for previews of next week. I will miss this show- even with all the over the top crap, I will so miss this show! |

From Reuters: "NBC hospital drama "ER" ended its 15-year run by drawing 16.4 million viewers for its final episode, the highest viewership for a
drama finale since 1996, the U.S. network said on Friday."
Re: the architecture - the marblework was fine, but how much did that abstract, and frankly fugly, statue in the lobby cost? Has anyone heard of a plant? But apparently Carter still can't find a better way to cope with his son's death. I've never lost a child, admittedly, but I've lost a parent, and I got a tattoo. $120. I think if I'd have built something quite as ostentatious, my mother would have come back from the grave to slap me and lecture me on wise spending habits. |
