Goodbye, and Good Riddance: A 'Final Season of ER' Thread

Will I watch? Yes. Yes, I will - but mostly because my wife wants to. Honestly, I don't give a shit about any of these characters anymore, and haven't for a good long while.

I don't even feel like spoiling the surprise of who died on the season premiere.

this is still on?

I too am surprised by that.

not gonna watch this show again unless there are more killer helicopters

That really was the last good thing that happened on the show, wasn't it? And that was at least 5 years ago.

so fucking pissed off at this show now

For distracting Maura Tierney from doing something productive?

^^^^^

Most cheesiest show I do like to watch. Over here there's still three more seasons to go, I think - new one just started and I find myself watching it again. Sigh. It/I just can't be helped.

For distracting Maura Tierney from doing something productive?

^^ Real talk.

For constantly and consistently killing every halfway cool/relatable black character to make it into the credits. I give it mad props for giving Maura Tierney, Parminder Nagra and Linda Cardonelli steady paychecks.

oh uh spoiler oops

Tierney had the tiniest role in Insomnia, and it still was great.

Haven't watched it since Doc Green died, and hated myself for watching it for a while before. But when it was good...

nicole kidman gets oscar noms and "credible" roles, maura tierney languishes in the lame duck years of e.r. fuck hollywood, man.

actually romano biting it was the last time this show actually got me REALLY emotional. i quite liked that bastard. the john leguizamo plotline was kinda neat tho.

whether or not there's any truth to what's been in tv guide, they need to quit killing key characters. the power of shock is GONE.

dan i think they killed army boy so he could go be on that hawaii cop drama with john connor's dad that flopped

the only reason to watch for 2-3 years now has been morris

ok, morris and neila's mentor

They also gave Gloria Reubens HIV and had Omar Epps jump in front of a subway. I think Eric LaSalle and Michele Michaels are the only two black doctors to make it out of that place alive!

The guy who plays Morris is kind of hilarious; I thought he was underrated on "Party Of Five".

everytime i see a promo about this being the final season i just wanna shout "THIS SHOULD HAVE ENDED FOUR YEARS AGO! HOW IS THIS STILL ON??!?"

i don't remember him on party of five at all. but i was in high school the last time i saw that show, i think. mid-90s.

As with everything else from the mind of Michael Crichton, it begins strong and devolves into uninteresting chaos at the end. In this case, it took 15 (?) seasons to run its course.

this show has always been balls

sure: grey's anatomy is kind of silly, but flipping back and forth between GA and ER last night, the difference in energy and vitality was HUGE, almost embarrassing.

okay, okay, i'll stop posting for a while.

wait, who died? I watched the season finale from last season last week because I was bored, I hadn't watched the show in years.

also my secret shame: i got hooked on watching ER last season because it's on after 30 rock, even though i went like a decade without ever seeing it.

Yeah, I think the last time I watched ER was when Quentin Tarantino guest-directed an episode. That was in ... 1995?

Although are Linda Cardellini and Parminder Nagra still on?

i like that a lot of the time it's about normal, day-to-day hospital problems instead of crazy house m.d. medicine.

linda cardellini is still on, she's banging john stamos
