ER - Final Season

[Carek1230]

I do too. It kinda makes watching what we know are the last few episodes even that much more enjoyable.

 

[lauramullen]

Only 2 more left.

 

[lauramullen]

No surprise guests last night, but a cute episode with the kids. One more to go.

I am so sad. I have seen every single episode of ER (thanks to bittorrent and a desire to see the early ones, which are much better than the later ones). I have been sobbing with all the returns of originals. The Carter kidney coming from Doug Ross/Carol Hathoway's new hospital was a bit cheesy, but still. So sad.

On the other hand it's been dragging for a while and it's time for it to go. They're just giving it a very good send off.

I always had a crush on Archie Morris but last night it turned into all out love

 

[Lila64]

Early on Archie was portrayed as kind of dolt-ish. I couldn't believe he was supposed to be a doctor. Luckily they turned him into a good doctor. I enjoyed last night's episode, and will probably need the box of Kleenex for next week's finale (which I believe airs at 8:00pm. - 2hours?)

Clip show at 8 and then two hour finale at 9

Early on Archie was portrayed as kind of dolt-ish.

He was supposed to be fired by Romano when he was caught smoking pot during his break, but Romano died literally 2 seconds later. I really like Archie, but I'm not liking this engagement storyline so late in the game.

The previews for next week look horrendous.


Spoiler on it below:




























So apparently there's gonna be some sort of award ceremony? They showed Carter in a suit and I guess Ross and Hathaway make it back to NY with Weaver telling Carter thank you. Maybe he donated the rest of his money to the hospital, or something to do with the condition he had. That's all I can think of anyway.

It just seems strange to me that they wouldn't be building a finale storyline with these last two episodes. This last episode was better than the Neela dramafest two weeks ago. I really wanted to fast forward, but I made a promise to myself to watch every episode this season. Thursday's episode was typical ER post-Mark stuff that I really didn't care for. Drama happens in the ER, not outside it.









Spoilers above ^^

 

[Carek1230]

Interesting spoiler. I am so sad every time I see the ad for the last ER episode in ER history on TV. Sniff Sniff.....I am also surprised that there's not been more of a dramatic and emotional build up to the Final show.

 

[Lila64]

*Spoiler Comment*






















I'm guessing Carter donates money or something to have a wing or building or hospital named after his family or to someone special to all of them (Green?).





















*End spoiler comment*

 

[lauramullen]

That is what I thinking too. I'm thinking Greene

 

[Carek1230]

I hope so. That would be a fitting Finale, don't you think?

 

[lauramullen]

Absolutely. I saw another ad for it today and it made me sad

 

[Carek1230]

I hope it's not going to be a total tear jerker episode.

 

[kelleighlp]

I believe he donated money to build a wing in honor of his baby that died before it was born. I think they showed him looking at the name plate on the first episode he was in this season. I could be wrong though.

 

[Lila64]

There was a whole article (which I've yet to read) on the series in the L.A. Times Calendar section yesterday. Google is your friend

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I hope Alexis is in every scene.

 

[Carek1230]

I just saw the very first episode of ER. :sniff sniff:

 

[Tiger Edge]

I was gonna bake a finale cake but my ideas are always a bit much, as my friends have told me.
I was going to make it in the shape of a torso, arms and head and use red velvet for the inside and dye the frosting to a fleshy color for the outside. Like Operation! Man it would be good if I could put a fake heart in there and pull it out during a commercial break.

 

[CTU2fan]

^ That would be brilliant. Please do it, and PLEASE post a pic of it if you do.

 

[Tiger Edge]

I really wish I could, but I have no idea how to shape the cake into a body! I was trying to think of innovative ways to bake it, but once you cut the cake it's impossible to frost it with regular frosting.

I gotta come up with something.

 

[Lila64]

Ace Of Cakes - see if there's any ideas there! You'll need some fondant - maybe that will make it easier to frost Can't wait to see it - get baking now, wouldja! And bring some over. I'll be watching it all alone here with tissues at hand.

Oh, here's something I found...

[Carek1230]

Just put a photo on the cake like a photo of the staff or your favorite character.

 

[lauramullen]

The cast is on the front of my TV schedule thing that comes in the paper

 

[CTU2fan]

Yeah, go with a big frosty pic of Greene...then eat his tumor ewww.

 

[Carek1230]

Well, the big finale is tomorrrow everyone. :sniff sniff: I am cry already.

That's a winning idea! I'll be sure to keep some of the batter unbaked, maybe inject it into the heart section so that when it's sliced it will ooze out.

I'm gonna go in a bit and see what I can find. Maybe I can find a "shirt pan" and just frost it green, like scrubs.

Or a blue heart. If you get that, you're my friend.

 

[lauramullen]

I'm getting sad. It comes on in 4 hours

 

[Tiger Edge]

Injecting the heart area with red velvet batter. We haven't told my friend who I'm gonna make cut into it. I hope it erupts like a molten lava cake and he gets freaked out. It really doesn't look like blood!

I decided to bake a regular pan and then cut off two long slices from the bottom to make the arms.

Basic torso, a little wide, but that doesn't matter.

As an extra surprise, I found some laffy taffy candy leftover from Halloween and stuff it into the head after shaping it into a brain. I pity the fool that eats the head!

Flesh colored icing. Thank you, primary colors!

Finished!

Details!

My friend said I purposely made it look like Noah Wyle.

On the OR table!

I'm wearing my scrubs in honor of tonight. Okay, back to the retrospective episode!

 

[Lila64]

That's FANtastic TigerEdge!

About 90 minutes til the retrospective here. I am taping that and the show, just in case.
