Sunday, 13 January 2002 : "E.R."

Just saw last week's E.R., and man is it going back down the tubes. They did a very 'writerly' thing this time: hey, it's Abby's birthday so let's make it a bizarrely, implausibily, impossibly hellish day for her. Hey presto, cheap irony!

I stopped watching E.R. for a couple of years because there was nobody to like, nobody to root for and nothing went well for anybody. Looks like the patient may be having a relapse.

Ah well, at least it was decent again for a while.

Although it looks like for the first time this year Abby will get an actual storyline -- the shot of her drinking a beer with the neighbor -- when she's an alcoholic -- indicates she'll be headed down a nasty path. I think the problem with ER in recent history is the lack of storylines that have any depth or originality to them...

Not only that, but they showed Abby having a BEER!!!! What happened? Never thought she'd go off the wagon.
