Nothing new, even if the title success it.

5.7

By Parricida, Sep 20, 2007

The story seems to be just as always - some cases, some doctors. I do not know but for me it seems some of the last episodes have been much weaker than the previous ones.

Ok, but we do have some good moments. First Cordey - she is such a lovely addition to the people around and I adore her language, accent - something new. This was new... and adding some different to the show.

Also Carter - he just seems to have a hard time, like at the beginning of every season. So sad to watch but he will find his way.

This episode has humor too - Carol and Doug and the drawer. The way the interview clips where just jumped into and out.

But in the end, I feel it was quite a filler and nothing special.moreless

I liked this episode because Corday used her own language in the run through of patient care.

In this one Corday had a whole bunch of London lingo that the others weren't used to-Corday-FBC(carol doesn't understand),she'll need a tube thorocostamy(kerry says chest tube to nurse),Kerry intubates as Corday asks if everyone could might slow down just a bit;I think things will run much more smoothly if we have a little more peace and quiet(Carol stares at her while Kerry just smiles and keeps working), Has anyone bleeped dr. benton (nurse says-oh I like that one; bleeping dr. benton), perhaps someone could just ring him up now (Carol-page,right,page benton - she gets happy like it is a game).moreless

  Mark: Ah, your very own scut puppy.
  Carter: Somebody to pick up my labs, do a patient history, the occasional obligatory rectal exam...
  Mark: Someone to abuse.

- Doug: I've got to talk to you about something.
  Carol: Oh, Doug, not another serious conversation...
  Doug: You used to say we didn't communicate...
  Carol: I know, but now you're communicating a little bit too much.
  Doug: This is important. Can I have a drawer?
  Carol: What?!
  Doug: A drawer, something you keep your clothes in. Something that I would keep my clothes in.
  Carol: You never wanted a drawer before.
  Doug: Well, that's because I always got up and left, never stayed here. If I could just have someplace to keep a new shirt or a nice pair of socks. I'd settle for underwear.
  Carol: You know, you could just wash your boxers out in the sink, they'd be dry by morning.

- Weaver: So, David, how are you feeling?
  Morgenstern: Morphine—damn fine stuff.

ADD NOTES
- This episode marks Mariska Hargitay's first appearance as Cynthia Hooper and Chad Lowe's as George Henry.
  EDIT SHARE
- Though spelled correctly when he is listed as the series creator in the opening credits, Michael Crichton's last name is incorrectly spelled "Chrichton" when he is listed with the other executive producers in the end credits of this episode. This mistake was repeated in most of the Season 4 episodes and in all of the Season 6 episodes.
  EDIT SHARE
- At the end of the episode, "for Quincy Wilson" appears just before the credits roll.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Doug: (to Carol, to whom he's brought breakfast in bed) Ketchup or Tabasco? With your scrambles eggs. You want something some people consider a vegetable or something more daring?
  Doug is referring to the "ketchup as a vegetable" controversy that erupted early in President Ronald Reagan's first administration. A directive proposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for its subsidized school lunch program would have reclassified ketchup and pickle relish from condiments to vegetables, thus allowing public schools to cut out a serving of cooked or fresh vegetables from the federally mandated National Lunch Program child-nutrition requirements. The proposed regulation change was widely criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike, and was never implemented.
