...the last three episodes have been exquisite. And let it be said, I have watched only two episodes ever, before these.
Here were the aspects: The guest-starring of John Leguizamo, whose talent at comedy I had known, but, drama? And the shift of action to Darfur. In the second of the two Darfur episodes we were treated to acting, writing, directing and cinematography every bit the equivalent of movies, and better than most I've seen. And all at the price of a few pauses...
The first episode of the pair ended with images of brutal reality that I shall never get out of my mind. Quite the thing, for television; I doubt even the movies would dare.
Big question: Did anyone record those from a decent source? If so, I'll do anything you ask to get copies. ("Anything...?")

I have seen every episode of ER and I agree that the last few have been quite good. The drama deserves a lot of credit for the transition it has made with star after star leaving, and having now what is, essentially, an entirely new cast. I too thought the Africa episodes were particular strong.
- Quite so! BUT did you record them? Especially the first Africa?nt - clarkjohnsen 07:28:11 05/16/06 (1)

I started watching ER now and then with my wife a few years ago, and we stopped watching after it's downfall into soap opera medocrity soon after. I just didn't care about any of the characters.
Now we watch House which, though can be equally as cheesy and soap opera-ish, at least has an interesting and coherent story, and the characters are fun to watch.
Favorite line so far:
Patient- "Oh my god, it's stomach cancer, isn't it!?!"
House - "Well, it's a special kind of cancer, it'll get worse and worse for about eight months, then it'll leave your body and get very noisy. Then you'll grow attached to it, buy cute clothes and throw parties for it. After that it'll just eat away at your money instead of your body."

/*Music is subjective. Sound is not.*/
- Funny lines... but you'll just have to believe me about these three ERS. nt - clarkjohnsen 13:02:28 05/14/06 (1)
