The Kinda-Weekly ER Thread

[honeychile]

At the end of the show, they showed Angela Bassett's family - who seem to have been killed in the tsunami a few years ago. Her vulnerability came out, too. I hope they keep that up.

I don't want Abby to go!!!!!!! WAHHHH!!!!!!

[honeychile]

Okay, I admit it - when Abby put her hand against the glass, I put mine up to it. I am truly going to miss her - and as someone who didn't like Maura Tierney prior to ER, that's saying a lot. Ten years!! It's impossible to believe that she's been around that long! LOVED her rant with the suits!

But I lost it when she & Haleh put the locker names on the wall with the other doctors of the past. And when Abby & Luka kissed. Crap, here I go again...

I still think that there's a story behind Dr. Banfield (Angela Bassett) and her family. I'm thinking that they died somehow.

I lost it when she danced around the ER with Frank. He by far is the one who is killing me this season with his scenes. I am waiting to hear what happened with Angela Basset's family. She mentioned something tonight about loving that age, when Abby told her how old Joe was.

I catch ER whenever I'm home. This episode had me in tears, like Dr Greene's death episode. And the waterworks came when Abby was dancing with Frank too.

I knew I had heard what Abby voiced-over throughout the area: it's from the book of Job 38:

16 "Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?

17 Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death [b] ?

18 Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.

19 "What is the way to the abode of light?
And where does darkness reside?

20 Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?

21 Surely you know, for you were already born!
You have lived so many years!"

Does anyone remember so far back that Abby had an ex husband and she keyed (or damaged) his fancy sports car. I think he was a doctor but I don't remember much else.

I know that she put him through med school, but I thought she damaged his golf clubs - maybe she did both?

Carter had asked Abby to a charity event. Abby didn’t know it was black tie and when Carter showed up in a tux she had to improvise. She ended up wearing a pink bridesmaid dress. She bumped into her ex and his new girlfriend at the event and her ex called her out on wearing a bridesmaid dress. She wanted to let the air out of all the tires on her exes car but Carter told her she could only do one.

Abby confronted her ex after she got dropped from her rotation after he didn’t pay her tuition as per the divorce agreement. She confronted him at the driving range kicked his bucket of balls over and then started throwing golf cubs.

I really hate what their doing with the Neela's storyline.

[DreamfulSpirit]

I'm eagerly waiting for Dr. Carter's return and Dr. Greene's appearence!!

I don't remember her keying his car. However, I do remember her letting the air out of his tires. She and Carter were at some fund raising dinner, and crossed paths with her ex and his girlfriend.

Ray! *sniffle* He does look great, though. I can't be the only one who was hoping that Neela would ride off into the sunset with him, can I?

Senusret, I think you can watch past episodes on NBC.com. At least, that's what I've been told.

NO, you're not the only one. I loved where the Ray-Neela relationship was going, then HE GOT HIT BY A TRUCK! It was nice to see him back, just to give him a happy ending. I really think Neela belongs with him or Lucian. The Aussie guy is not for her.

Did anyone else see this week's previews? Dr. Green returns - I assume in a dream or such.
