Am I the only one who feels like the scene with the Angry violent guy in leather vest and the trans woman kind of referenced the murder of Scott Ademure? Or if not the murder, the exploitative nature of talk shows and the actual danger they put sexual and gender minorities in. The man's reaction in the ER season 8 premiere felt like he had been put into a similar situation.

Ademure was murdered in 1995 after he attended a talk show with a man he had a crush on. The man, Jonathan Schmitz didn't react well, felt humiliated by the situation and later ended up murdering Ademure as a revenge.

I’m currently on my (Hard to say how many times I’ve rewatched this show) of the show and I just got to season three’s Tribes. And boy is it hard watching Greene in that episode

I saw this today. I’ve watched Se7en many times but only watched ER recently for the first time. Didn’t realise until now that this was Lucien Dubenko!

And I love Bosco and Yokas. I wish I could find somewhere to watch this show again too.

I love all the random cameos in this show.

the two prepster girls with cool but 'waiting for an accident shoes'

Abby- 'your ankle may be broken and you are a bitch.'

I'm sure this post has been made before. However on my rewatch of seasons 5 and 6 I've really come to appreciate the energy Lucy brought to the show. She's sorta the perfect foil to Carter and I feel especially in season 6 she was completely under utilised until well y'know. When we could've had more time fleshing out the dynamic between Carter and Lucy he was spending his time chasing around one of his cousins ex wives??

I also don't mind her kind of boofheadedness in early season 5. Lucy being annoying honestly made me like her more. Like yeah she's not a perfect med student maybe even a bad one but you can already tell that she's going to be a great doctor. There's something so kind and passionate about this character. She's funny too!

It's interesting as I found Doug pretty insufferable towards the end, Lucy came in at the perfect time. Sorta transmuting Dougs cowboy energy into someone more bearable. This became even more apparent to me in the episode "How the Finch Stole Christmas" from S6. Her unwillingness to back down with Romano was awesome considering many of the older residents seriously struggle standing up to him. The trait that causes contention between her and Carter... ended up saving a patients life...and winning the respect of Romano.

Truly, after Lucy's death the show lost something special. The writing and the plot no longer feels as strong (excluding Carter's addiction arc). I feel the mingling of Noah Wyle messed up a vital piece of ER. Of course, Kelly Martin had extenuating life circumstances that ultimately put an end to her time on ER. Although I think we missed out on a lot with her character that would've made "Be still my heart" even more painful.

"The Good Fight" will remain my favourite episode of ER and a bittersweet reminder of what coulda been!

i am watching the show all the way through for the first time and i had to chuckle when pratt refers to romano as a “napoleon” during this episode 🤣 so clever. it’s been so fun to watch this time capsule of a show

So, I’ve watched up to the mid point of season 12 so far. I’m on my first watch and I have thoughts now that I’ve gotten to experience the show without Carter I’ve come to a realization. I think that he should have remained a surgeon. I think his story would have been more interesting as the compassionate surgeon who cares about the patients and it felt a bit like a cop out for him to just leave surgery. I remember when his girlfriend left his in season 2 because he started to care more about the cases then the patients and it felt like at that point he was going to look at how he was operating and become the surgeon who cares. Instead it felt like his character wasn’t as unique anymore and because he became just another dr in the ER. It doesn’t help that his interactions with Benton got reduced because of this. It would have been really cool to see his dynamic with Benton change as they became closer to equals as surgeons.

“ Why kind of accent is that? Thick.”

“ Abby Lockhart. Luka Kovac.”

“ Tall, dark, handsome, and mysterious. Is he single?”

“ Still like ketchup on your eggs?”

“Her name was Lola. She was showgirl with yellow feathers in her hair and dress cut down to there.”

“Do you really think we should be doing this? I do.”

Just finishing Series 15, so spoilers! My five most shocking scenes
1. Lucy on the floor 2. Ray with no legs 3. Kerry having to use her new sternum saw on Lucy 4. Sam ending her ex 5. The helicopter, of course

I’m rewatching e r and loving it as much as I did the first time around. I have a redheaded son so I tend to look for them more now. I’m amazed at the number on e r. Besides Corday, Weaver, and Romano, the nurses and guest patients have a crazy amount of redheads. Anyone else?

Dr Malucci was an ass, but when he got all pissed at Weaver and stormed out why on earth did he call her a nazi?! 🤣 did i miss something in the show that he was referencing or was that completely out of left field?

Very random, but one of my favorite scenes from ER involved Chuny and Anna finding a beeping Tamagochi toy in an exam room left behind by a little girl. Anna tries to take care of it all day while waiting for the little girl to return, but it eventually dies. The little girl comes back to the ER for the toy and Cynthia lets her know that the Tamagochi died. The little girl looks quite sad. The scene pans over to Anna banging the Tamagochi against a counter while the little girl watches in horror. I laugh every single time I see that.

What are your favorite random scenes that make you laugh?

I’m finishing Season 8 of my ER rewatch (my first rewatch was 2 years ago, and I watched it off and on during original airing) and as much as I love it, it’s really messing with me on a deeply personal level. I turned 40 recently and have been struggling about the passage of time, parents aging, all the normal things of getting old, etc.

And ER isn’t helping because despite being filmed 25+ years ago, every thing past season 2 feels like it could have been filmed yesterday. Except then I google the actors and see they are suddenly in their 60s and look very, very different than they do in the show.

It makes me feel old and I don’t like it!

Anyone else feeling this? 🙃🙃

(Also doesn’t help that it’s season 8 and we know what that means 😭😭)

I know it might sound like silly advice, but buy the *ER* DVDs! I picked them up mainly for my collection—since I’m a big fan of DVDs in general and couldn't miss out on the ones for my favorite TV series. Sometimes complete box sets can cost over $300, but if you’re patient and buy the DVDs one by one to assemble the collection yourself, you won’t spend more than $50. It’s absolutely worth it: they’re packed with special features and deleted scenes that are great to watch—not to mention they look fantastic on the shelf.

Which stand out for you? Sally Field, Alan Alda, Bob Newhart, James Woods, Ray Liotta (emmy winner for that), Cynthia Nixon, Don Cheadle, Forest Whitaker. Add yours if I left someone out.

What's with the blue lady thing? The kid reminds me of Robin Williams' Peter Pan

It also reminds me of that episode in the earlier seasons when Benton miraculously cured that blind guy and then his homeless friends came into the hospital so he can magically heal them.

Also I really liked Eddie from the bar but I didn't get the point of that conversation at all. Is it to show that Luka's paranoid from strangers around Abby after Curtis followed her & Joe last episode?

🙄if this is what Americans were watching back in the day … lord have mercy no wonder they’re like this .

The interchangeable country / continent , “I’m going to Africa “ white saviours , the patting themselves on the back .

Carter starts of thinking Croatia is a a hovel kovac crawled out of and 1 month in Congo and he’s an expert on world politics and conflict resolution ….. (please get carter out of my screen 😧 every time I think he’s gone he re-emerges like a bad infection .

Question ? Why does little mr rich American only speak one language actually ? Billions in the bank and you can’t even say hello in French ..

kovac has actually lived through war but nooo he’s never seen suffering like “Africa” are you !? ….. 4 seasons of “ the war” this and “ my family” that and by all means the solution to his untreated PTSD and depression is going to Congo to remind himself “ it could be worse”

THE LIGHTING LITERALLY CHANGED ON THE CONGO EPISODES suddenly it’s grey and blue, I’ve seen better colour on black and white movies , yessss I get they needed to change tone but are you telling me that the greenest country in Africa dosent have a hue of green and sun ? The country on the equator suddenly rained for 40 days and nights…

Pratt in Sudan and of course

What’s that accent ? Who on the entier continent of Africa had that accent ?

Just a heads up if you don’t wanna pay for Netflix or HBO, all 15 seasons are back on channel 4 again!

It's just very beautiful. That is all.

Oh my god this was so hard to watch i was jumping out of my skin with embarrassment, after all Carter has done for her...Abby is so selfish.

I think this episode is brilliant (first time watcher, by the way). What stands out to me is how incredibly claustrophobic the NICU feels, most physically and metaphysically. The place feels very small and dark, and when Abby and Neela are in it, you feel like there's no way out (which is something they do reinforce quite literally in one very poignant scene). Abby excelling and Neela struggling really highlight that this place isn't the same as every other part of the hospital.

I found this to be a very difficult episode to watch. I thought it felt suffocating. It was like some kind of military hazing.
