ER 11/8/2007 (S14E07) "Blackout"

yeah, the entire show seemed forced and the direction of the storyline very boring. drunk / depressed / idiotic abby isn't good tv {at least that i want to watch}

 

Does anyone else think that Abby might be showing signs of Bi-Polar like her mom has? Interesting idea I think. My wife brought it to my attention last night with the bar scenes and the scene at the ticket counter at the airport.

 

I believe this is her last season on the show and I guess they want to give her role a little more substance for her swan song.

Isn't this the last season for the show?

 

This show is still on? Seems I remember being hooked on it for a season or two in the mid 90s.

 

I caught the season finale of will and grace the other day in a rerun and laughed at their flash forward 20 years into the future and ER was still on

 

Is it the last season?? I love ER - but, it's starting to lose my attention. And, I really like Abby, and hope they don't dwell too long on this. Didn't like this episode, at all. (Other then Morris - love him! )

 

That was the worst episode of ER that I've seen in a while.
And that's saying something.

BTW, it doesn't speak well for Moretti that he slept with a direct report.

 

There have been rumblings that ER will continue past this season. It's a great venue for stories. The show still continues to entertain, and no need to end it if there are enough production staff and cast members willing to continue.

 

I thought this was a pretty good episode for what it was.
A good representation of what can happen during a drunken blackout (Not that I would know ).

My favorite moment was when Abby woke up and saw Moretti.
"D'OH !!!!!!!!!!"

 

It would be interesting if part of this is caused by bipolar issues.

Boo to Luka for not being around. She called and begged him to come home.

 

An obviously intoxicated, and married one at that.

Chuni: I can't believe Pratt and Morris are attendings now. I remember when Mark Green and Doug Ross ran this place
Sam: Who?

 

Agreed. I don't think this is the least bit entertaining, if anything, it's painful to watch a character I like go downhill, especially since I think it's unrealistic given what she went though to get here. I mean she conquered all that other stuff just to lose it when her husband is away for a few weeks?

I still watch out of some perverted sense of duty but it's the last thing I watch each week on the TiVo since I'm willing to put that at risk if I run out of space.

 

Who plays the chaplain? She looks very familiar.

Did she play the girl with the rash/STD who slept with Carter in the first season?

 

Reiko Aylesworth - aka Michelle Dresler from 24?

-Ken

 

I don't know if this is Tierny's last season but I believe that Goran Visnjic will be gone after this year since he's only doing like four episodes this year.

I would guess that they are grooming Morris and Pratt to step up but can they sustain the show?

 

No.

I think they've been trying to find (a) new lead(s). Tucci could do it, but I'm not sure if he's in it for the long-term. I bet they were trying to put John Stamos forward, but I don't think he can carry a show like ER.

Nagra is a much better actress than ER has let her be. I wonder if she could be part of a Stamos/Nagra/Grimes triumvirate. (Phifer, I thought I read, was set to leave as well as Tierney.)

 

The problem isn't the missing husband, it's the "alone with the baby". Although considering how much childcare she has, I have limited sympathy.

 

When Abby woke up from her blackout, I was kinda hoping she would be in her own bed, which would have left her (and us) guessing whether or not she slept with Moretti.
