I intend to watch it through for the start right through to finish, now I really don't intend to post on every episode as that will just get daft but I will occasionally put up various posts on it, either various random aspects or observations or closer looks at particular episodes (the Tarantino directed episode and the one with Ewan McGregor are two early candidates).
So far I've gone through the double length pilot and the first couple of normal episodes and it's already very much the series it will remain for the next fifteen seasons.
Brilliant characters working in extraordinary conditions faced with vastly different challenges day to day or often within the same day complete with the trademark pulsating bursts of pace.
In summary so far; Dr Mark Greene (Anthony Edwards) is the heart of the ER, steady and reliable but with a marriage under strain. Dr Peter Benton (Eric La Salle) is the cocky resident surgeon.unwilling to show any weakness, Dr John Carter (Noah Wyle) is a nervous medical student under Benton's tutelage. Dr Susan Lewis (Sherry Stringfield) is a sure handed doctor better than many give her credit for and clearly is close to Dr Greene. Dr Doug Ross (George Clooney) is the handsome, maverick pediatrician who is something of womaniser but seems to have blown his chances with the woman he really loves. Nurse Carol Hathaway (Julianna Margulies) is the charge nurse and the woman Doug really loves and has recently returned to work having attempted suicide during the pilot episode.
And the just about covers our main characters as things stand and of course we already have the team of nurses and Jerry who will staff the hallways for the duration of the show. Plus of course Willam H Macy as Dr Morgenstern.
It's going to get bloody, exciting, desperately sad, reaffirming and long but I wouldn't have it any other way.
