It is going to be great having Noah Wyle on ER for a few episodes. In a final season where old cast members returning is commonplace, I am glad Wyle joined in. How adorable was it when Carter walked in and no one knew who he was? That just proves how long it has been since he last graced the halls of County. I like how he described the ER as bizarro because it is both the same and completely different. But I must say, this entire episode Carter just kind of seemed to lurk around. He didn't have a real storyline and we don't know the real reason he is in Chicago, though we did get a glimpse at the end of the episode when they showed him hooked up to medical machines. I'm looking forward to next week if only for more details about his return.
As for other points of interest following tonight's episode:
- I know I say this every week, but how cute is Brenner? I want someone to make a romantic gesture like planning a trip to Venice for me. Neela is lucky.
- The stolen glances between Sam and Tony were pathetic. This is my opinion and it may be a bit harsh, but I didn't agree with her reasons for breaking up with Tony in the first place so if Sam still has feelings for him, then she needs to grow up and be with him.
- I don't know how to feel about the police brutality storyline. I know this is going to have a negative affect on Morris and Claudia right when they were starting to be happy, but other than that it was something the show could have done without.
- Same with the mushroom/Midsummer Night's Dream/love potion storyline. I was more confused than anything with that. Though Jerry hitting on Carter after drinking the potion was funny.
- Who else would be weirded out by using your neice's egg so that you could have a baby with genes similar to your own? Banfield is against adoption (or at least she is until she talks with the little girl from last week, Lucy) but using a family member's egg is a better idea? I don't get why adoption always seems to get such a bad rap on television shows.
- I like when the writers carry over interesting storylines from week to week. We once again saw the mom and daughter from last week, and things did not seem to be looking up. The doctors thought they had a new heart for the mom but mid-way through the transplant they get a call saying there had been a mistake. Apparently the donor had a different blood type and the heart could not be used. Worse was that they had already removed the mom's faulty heart so she is now living on machines, waiting for another donor. The daughter then made her mom a Valentine's Day heart. Though it won't work as well as a real one, it was heartwarming to watch.
Well here's to great episodes in the coming weeks as the show draws to an end. Did you like tonight's Valentine's Day episode five days late? Any memorable moments I missed?
