This is the first episode I watched all the way through - I had caught bits and pieces of the first two seasons - and now I'm wondering what took me so long.

This episode was fabulous. I felt sorry for the old man as he had to confess to crimes he didn't even commit in order to get the police to take him seriously. Provenza's line to Gabriel was classic - "No need to beat him up. He's bee confessing all morning."

The end of the episode was bittersweet when the old woman admitted she only put the house up for sale so people would come visit her. The whole hour was a real eye-opener to how the elderly are treated.

The first time I caught Adam in an episode of Power Rangers: Ninja Storm. I was hooked. Sure his character could be dark and brooding, but he wasn't all of the time. And the looks more than made up for it. It a shame Power Rangers changes cast every season because I would have loved to have gotten an opportunity to have seen more of him. Hopefully he will soon appear in something that airs in the United States. In guess for now I will have to content myself with watching him play Hunter Bradley in Power Rangers: Ninja Storm re-runs.

Season 10 finale: Sam, Alex, and Steve cliffhanger; season 11 finale: Sam, Alex, and Steve cliffhanger; season 12: finale: Sam, Alex, and Steve cliffhanger. Again?

This time there was much more than Sam, Alex, and Steve.

Luka proposed to Abby, she shot him down wanting to only have one major life change at a time. Anspaugh questions Weaver's judgement and Luka's ability to manage the ER. Morris refuses patients on his last day. An incompetent EMT trainee follows Sam around, but turns out that's not all she is.

Steve stages the ultimate jail-break, getting brought into the ER after a fight with fellow inmate Rafe. Turns out Mary is part of the plot and injects Luka with Veck, putting his life in danger. I think everyone worried along with Sam as she struggles to intubate Luka.

Sam drops hints about the situation to Morris - who doesn't get it - and Abby, who tells the police leading Rafe and Steve to open fire. In the chaos, Steve and company make off with Sam and Alex - who they has snagged earlier in the day.

During the shootout Abby hits a cart belly first and hits her head and Jerry takes a bullet. The anguish increases as the episode ends with Jerry's life in the balance, Abby unconcious on the floor, and a frantic Luka intubated and tied to a gurney.

This is definately an episode to keep you coming back for more.

This episode was fabulous as well as a departure from the CI norm. I could easily see how Gage was Bobby's mentor as they both are very quirky. The way the evidence trail revealed itself, had me believing the wrong person was the suspect until Bobby mentioned female serial killers to Jo. Eames's kidnapping was harrowing despite the fact I knew she would be fine (Erbe isn't leaving the show after all) and showed just how much Bobby cares about her. So far, I am not very fond of Captain Ross, mostly due to his comment to Eames to keep an eye on Bobby. He has a long way to go to fill Deakins's shoes in my opinion.

ER is a complete classic that should never run out of ideas. As new medical advances are made, a new spin could be put on the show, making its appeal cross-generational. And I've learned a good chunk of medicine watching. And I know the "hell" ahead of me as a bio pre-med major.
