She's easy to admire because apparently she's rigidly honorable and dedicated to professionalism and thoughtful decisions rather than emotional ones. But she twice encourages Benton to stifle criticism of the morally questionable Vucelich, and her concern is not for medical research integrity but for personal and institutional reputation and grant money. She lies to Benton about Carter switching teams. She recruited Carter in S3/E13: "If Peter can't use your talents, my team can." Carter had made no mention of leaving for another team. And then she tells Benton in S3/E17, "Dr. Carter asked to be transferred to my team. You don't think I'd poach him, do you?" She absolutely poached him.

It's difficult to regard her in the same light after that.

And I’m done trying to like Sam. Like, I get it. She was groomed as a teenager and wound up saddled with a kid she didn’t want, but holy shit is she infuriating.

She lets Steve lie to her son about where he is, which prompts him to go to Colorado, and then she spends the whole episode proving Kerry right that she has no impulse control. She disregards every piece of advice gets, wrecks her car and nearly kills her and Luka, and gets unbelievably lucky that the cops find Alex because she had ZERO idea what she was going to do when she got to Colorado anyway. Then, for all that, she throws it in Luka’s face that he wants to be a good partner and a father figure for Alex.

Deep down, Sam is still a rebellious teenager. She loves Steve, she loves the the chaos, loves the thrill, loves the attention, and doesn’t really care all that much that it’s ripping Alex apart. Fuuuuuuuuuuck Sam.

i’m 22 years old and watched all 15 seasons of ER a few months ago after finishing The Pitt, and it literally changed my life forever. that being said, it’s sometimes tough having a conversation about it online when a majority of the fans reminisce and share their experiences watching it live back in the day.

any other younger people here with me obsessed with a show old enough to be called a “classic”?😭😭

I really liked Raul and Shep together and was sad to see the actor go.
Any ideas as to why they just left his character to die?

Was it the actor’s choice? The writers?

I would’ve liked to see more Shep and Raul than Shep wouldn’t have turned into a depressive angry person.

Anyone? Bueller?

Hey there, new to this subreddit but I am currently doing an incomplete ER rewatch. I was really loving all the Carter & Benton scenes in the first three seasons but now I'm just finishing S4, and they sadly don't have half as much screentime together. As I'm not planning to rewatch every single episode could I please get some recommendations on which episodes have Carter & Benton scenes / storylines in them from S5 onwards?

Watching season 9 episode 18. The shot that Gallant threw Romanos way when Romano was commenting on his stitches was amazing.

The guys a prick but he probably gives me the most LOLs of the show

“How much of your brain did they actually cut out?”
“Guess I’ll give myself CPR”
“You know I can’t bring my pager into the dojo!!!!”

I hated him when he first showed up but now with him for 2 seasons I kinda really like him.

Mine was when that helicopter fell and crushed Romano. It took me a good 20 mins of a pause to continue watching it. It literally made me jump it scared the shit out of me I can’t lie

Watching 'The Advocate' s9 ep17 this whole alderman storyline is pmo.

I've been annoyed with Kerry since that Chen/Malucci pager incident when she threw them under the bus to save her own ass.

It's really hypocritical of her. To think of all the times she called people out, threatened to suspend them only for her to do worse.. At least they all did it for the sake of the patient. She does it cus it's for her own benefit.

The scene where she's telling Ted Mosby to basically keep his mouth shut & take the blame so she's not exposed for malpractice in the name of protecting Alderman - she's really getting on my nerves.

I had shoulder surgery in early June and am on summer break, so I’ve spent the last 5 sedentary weeks binge watching ER, which I had never seen and knew nothing about. While watching The Pitt a few months ago, I learned that Noah had played Carter on ER, so I decided to check it out.

I loved it SO MUCH. I cried all the damn time, fell in love with so many characters, learned a ton, and decided to investigate a career in medicine. I’m considering med school after I graduate in two years, but I’m also considering becoming a perfusionist or a dosimetrist.

I know a lot of people who watch The Office as a background-playing comfort show. I think that is going to be ER for me. I am so sad it’s over but I’m so grateful I can watch it as much as I want!

Glad to be a part of the club! 😍

I’m on season one of my first watch of er and wow I can’t stop drooling over the Chamber stove in Benton’s mom’s kitchen. What I wouldn’t do for that stove.
