So finally, ER has come to an end. Amazing how the drama went on for 15 seasons. I agree with a lot of what the actors/actresses said about ER – you hold your breath in each episode from the start right till the end because it’s so packed with drama and ups and downs. It’s just phenomenal.
I didn’t start watching ER until when I was in junior secondary. Tuesday evenings were packed then - X-file at 9.30 (or was that 8.30?) and ER at 10.30. George Clooney has left ER then. Would really love to see him. I’ve always hoped to start watching the whole thing all over again right from Season 1. Maybe I really should! The thing about ER is even though you don’t have much knowledge on medicine whatsoever, you’ll still be absorbed by the humanity of all the characters inside County – doctors, nurses, patients… Love, family, life, death, social issues… everything you can think of. It’s there.
I remember watching the episode when Mark Greene died. Oh boy! That last couple of scenes really wrenched my heart. Even though you know it’s only a drama, you become so absorbed you feel you’re part of it. Cried my eyes out that night.
For about 7 or 8 years, ER has become my weekly routine. It’s going to be sad knowing that the show will never return.
