OMG! This was me tonight
Who else watched?
Who else watched?
god that was depressing... I don't want to spoil it for anyone (although it's pretty obvious) but who else started laughing when they brought that giant "head shot" photo to the bar? Totally ruined the serious tone of that last scene...
Good to see Tony Hale getting work - as soon as I saw him I was all: "HEY BROTHER!"
I wonder if anyone of the original/old-school characters will make any appearances for the final season? Benton(Eriq La Salle)? Weaver(Laura Innes)? Carter(Noah Wylie - I'm pretty sure he'll be seen one more time)? Lewis(Sherry Stringfield)? Chen(Ming-Na)? Corday(Alex Kingston)? Hathaway(Julianna Margulies)? Or, dare I say, the biggest former star ER could hope to get back for one last time, Ross(George Clooney)?
My mom said she read something about Anthony Edwards coming back for an appearance, but I think she may have gotten a name mixed up, 'cause Dr. Greene, unfortunately, is dead. Although...we never saw him die, Corday just said he died in her letter, so...you know the old soap opera rule - no body, no death. Or maybe somebody would imagine him. But who - the ER is so different now that there's nobody left there who even knows who he was, unless Carter comes back.
Some kind of tribute should be paid to him. After all, when ER first started in 1994, the show was ABOUT him! The first episode was a day in the life of Mark Greene.
Three eras.
Greene
Benton
Ross
Carter
Lewis(although she came back for the second era after leaving)
Hathaway
Weaver
Kovac
Chen
Corday
Abby
Romano
Pratt
Gallant
Neela
Morris
Sam
Yeah they all overlap with each other and everything but it's still three distinct groups. And that third one pales. Pratt's the only convincing doctor there.
I used to lurve ER and cried like a fool when Dr Greene died
Since then I've been on and off about it but might make the effort to watch the last season.
I still think about Jeannie and Dr Anspaughs sonl whenever I hear Time of Your Life by Green Day.
Oh the memories
" a fan favourite draws their final breath"?? Who could it be???
The head shot - yeah, a little weird
Never heard of Tony Hale.
Had no idea of the outcome of this episode (elfa will know what I mean). And in the previews about someone else (which I think is known that this person is leaving). But still... I've watched all 14 previous years, so... I was still cryin' like a baby last night.
when they showed the preview for the next episode they also had a preview for the season saying old characters were coming back - Carter and Greene were both shown - I'm not sure how they'll get around that whole "dead" thing
damn you.
I tried to look up the new season teasers on youtube but thought I'd watch this first. YouTube - ER - The news of Dr. Greene's Death
now I'm in floods of tears
And for Daddy... there was an explosion in an ambulance next to the hospital at the end of last season. And at the end of last season, there were two possibilities of who was gonna go along in the ambulance - Pratt or Abby (I think). Pratt was in the front passenger seat when the bomb in the ambulance exploded (Abby was on the sidewalk. Broke her wrist and maybe slightly bruised leg/foot, I think). Pratt was taken to the ER where he was trying to assess himself the whole time (while on a gurney/in the ER). Then this giant thing in his neck appeared (internally) and was growing bleeding and they had to try & take care of that, and it was downhill from there. He was an organ donor, so at least 3 people were gonna benefit from his organs.
But who will be having that dream or flashback? There's nobody left that actually knew Dr. Greene enough to have a dream or a flashback about him now. I think it will necessitate someone else coming back. And I think the most likely candidate there is Carter.
And I also think that the ER producers should at least give it a try and give Clooney's agent a call to float the idea of one last Dr. Ross appearance. Maybe Clooney says no, but I think they at least have to ask. It would be a big ratings draw.
yeah dr. greene has to be some sort of flashback scene... or someone seeing him in a dream or something along those lines..
I do believe the return of Dr Greene will in fact be a flashback or dream sequence.
Maybe he'll be like Obi-Wan Kenobi or something!!
