  • Wedding...

    8.8
    "Great"
    By Parricida, Sep 17, 2008 Report Abuse
    So, I think we had a second weddings in ER (as Mark Green and Elizabeth Corday) and this one was quite good. the whole episode of wedding. I do not know. The marriage itself and Abby acting little cold about it was not the main thing. I would even say that most of the episode was about Neela, Gates and Ray.. and maybe the name even reflect it as the episode Neela got married (or proposed I am not sure) was I do.. now it is "I don't" and it all ends up in fight and Ray.. oh.. just do not check your selfphone in the middle of road...

    I liked Ray char.. and he was my sister's favorite.. and I think they were cruel about him to have that kind of ending.moreless

    For many minutes I thought Abby was gonna say "I don't". Loved she accepted Luka's surprise wedding party and in the end she said those magical words - "I do". The poem she recited is great, those are great words. Neela's participation was great too.

    I know everything has an end. :'( I'm just hoping the last episode of ER will be has good as this one.
    This could have been a Perfect Finale.

    This episode brought me ER memories, Mark, Kerry, Elizabeth, Carter ... Wish they were there, celebrating Abby's big day!

    Now it's over a question hangs in my head. Will this happiness last?moreless

  • "The Croatian sensation pulls a rabbit out of the hat!"

    "Perfect"
    By Lukascookie, Dec 03, 2007 Report Abuse
    It's not very realistic that any bride would ever accept being put in this "fait accompli" situation, but at the end of the day Abby admits to Luka that she couldn't have arranged a better wedding herself.
    Best scene: The whole wedding ceremony is a funny mix of the solemn and the hilarious, but Luka & Abby saying their vows to each other sums it up for me. The clothes: I wasn't sure about Abby's dress, but somehow it works, and the Croatian pearls in her hair are lovely too. And then there is Luka ... more devastatingly handsome than ever!
    Typically Abby: Having to be convinced over and over again by Luka. Asking Neela to be her bridesmaid, even if she, typically, doesn't want to put a conventional lable on it. Later she's bickering with the flower girl and has to be pushed out by Hope to go down the isle, but standing with Luka in front of the rabbi she just wants him to hurry up.
    Typically Luka: He has been paying attention to details that Abby likes and this shows that he has put a lot of thought into planning the wedding.
    The belle of the ball: Neela is breaking off with Gates and turning her attention to Ray, trying to explain her feelings to both of them. And perhaps to herself? Meanwhile, she seems to be the girl everyone wants to kiss!
    Funniest line: Pratt (to Luka): "Dead man walking."
    Funniest chatacter: The rabbi! Starting on the Bar Mitzvah ceremony by mistake, "any jilted ex-lovers", "yada, yada..." etc.
    Another funny character: Timmy telling every nurse that they are the hottest nurse in the ER, even Malik!
    Most unexpected: Clean-shaven Gates...
    Most unnecessary: Gates & Ray fight ends with Ray being hit by a truck!!!!
    This episode seems to be a season finale, but it's not.... Very strange.moreless

  • Outstanding performances and it was refreshing to go through so many emotions while watching one episode.

    What an amazing episode! It was a combination of so much. It was funny, serious, touching, moving, sad, etc. It was so nice to see ER's famous couple finally getting married. And to have everyone there was such a bonus! And the comedy that was sprinkled in the episode was refreshing. The only down part was when Gates started the brawl. It was such an inappropriate time to display his juvenile behavior. Hope and Morris really stood out. Busy and Scott gave great performances. I hope to see them more and more in the front story lines. Overall, this is one of my favorite episodes in a long time.moreless

    • Gates: As my role model, Kenny Rogers, once said, "Sometimes you've got to fight when you're a man." This is a line from "The Coward of the County," a 1980 song performed by Kenny Rogers and co-written by Roger Bowling and Billy Ed Wheeler. Edit
