ER!! Major 10.1 & 10.2 Spoilers!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
The Valentine’s Day “ER” in which everybody – Kovac, Corday, Weaver, Romano, Chen, Green, Benton, even hot new med student Abby Lockhart – worked to save the lives of Lucy Knight and John Carter aired again in Los Angeles last night, and it’s still pretty hard to sit through that installment dry-eyed. Jack Orman, who wrote that one and many more like it, doubtlessly penned the 10th season opener, as he has every season premiere since season seven.
The improbably named “Mr. Zambano” always gets the “ER” spoilers right. Learn now, among other things, Luka Kovac’s fate:
Hey, Herc!
Here are some summaries from the first two episodes of Season 10 ER.
Look
for the third episode soon, as they've just finished filming it.
Mr. Zambano.
************
Season 10 Premiere: "What Now?"
In the teaser, a truck slams into a Mercedes, which slams into the El
Station by the hospital. The ambulance bay entrance is blocked off, and
firefighters have to remove the driver, her daughter, and her
daughter's two
friends.
John goes straight to Abby's apartment upon arrival in Chicago. Abby
asks
him if she can have her key back.
The empty Carter mansion makes him realize just how alone he is. He has
an
epiphany when he looks in the mirror and isn't satisfied with what he
sees.
Later on at the hospital, Pratt and Susan try to talk them into getting
back
together. Pratt tells John that he just may have given Abby the
impression
that he had a "good time" without her. Susan reminds Abby that he tried
to
apologize, and that he went straight to her as soon as he got back.
Abby thinks it was because he was horny.
Neela, a cute new med student (Parminder K. Nagra from Bend It Like
Beckham
fame), is told by a patient not to put off marriage for too long, but
to
find a man who earns good money and treats her right.
Pratt makes a special point of getting to know her.
She takes the phone call confirming that Luka Kovac is dead.
Pratt and Carter treat an HIV+ patient with no preventative health
coverage.
Pratt remarks that the beaurocrats involved in Medicaid should just
take the
patient out back and shoot him, that it would be a lot easier.
Michael Gallant becomes "Dr. Gallant."
Weaver tells off the foreman of a construction company that is
renovating
the ER, because the work isn't getting done fast enough.
The staff, in the meantime, have to go to other floors to use the
bathroom.
**************
10.2: "The Lost"
The second episode set in Africa, filmed at the same time as last
year's
season finale. Carter goes back to the Congo to find Luka's body.
On the plane, he meets Steve, who works for the Embassy. Steve is
drunk, and
won't leave Carter alone until he's told the reason for the trip: a
friend's
been murdered. At the airport, he gives Carter his business card.
Gillian is waiting for John at the airport, and gives him a hug.
Depressed,
she later jokes that she would like a gun to kill herself.
Luka is thought to be dead because no one has heard from the people
taken
captive at the clinic in three days. Luka's name is on a list of those
dead.
Carter questions, did anyone actually see the body? No one has. He is
shown
Luka's bloody identification badge, and told that it is not possible to
get
the body for burial until the end of the war.
Luka's life had been spared by a mother, who gives him a cross to wear
and
insists he's a priest. He's seen almost all of the others shot and
killed.
He's sick with malaria and delirious, hearing voices and Barber's
"Agnus
Dei". Chanting prayers and crying, very much out of it, he leads a
group of
killers in a profound religious experience. The killing stops.
Steve, uncomfortable that Carter actually sought him out for help,
advises
him to offer a gratuity to "buy" Luka's body back.
He takes Steve's advice, and withdraws $20,000 from the bank.
Gillian takes Carter to meet an acquaintance on the negotiating team:
Debbie, a hot blonde who "isn't Carter's type" when Gillian notices his
attraction and tries to play Matchmaker. Debbie informs Carter that if
they're caught bribing the enemy, they'll wind up with their heads
mounted
on sticks. She won't help, but suggests he accompany her on a mission
to
rescue the wounded, because perhaps someone in the area might have
information.
In the truck, Gillian works on Debbie, suggesting Carter's kinda cute.
Debbie denies her interest.
Later, Debbie offers Carter a beer. He's listening to Les Nubians on
his
Apple I-Pod™ while a guy in the background roasts a goat over a fire...
He
defends his type. She rants about America's selective interest in
humanitarian effort. He soul-searches out loud. She stares into his
eyes,
suddenly overtaken with the will to do anything he asks.
She changes her mind about helping. She bribes the Mai Mai to give them
a
ride to Kasese the next day. She bribes them with Carter's I-Pod™.
They find Luka holed up in a run-down hut, curled up in the corner on
the
grass floor, unrecognizably dirty and sick. The woman who gave him the
cross, and her daughter, are with him.
“ER” 10.1 airs 10 p.m. Sept. 25 on NBC. 10.2 airs 10 p.m. Oct. 2 on NBC.

Also?? Too much information!! Talk to the hand!! Every other phrase that fell out of vogue more than three years ago!!

No, wait, I'm really third!!

Carter's I-Pod

You'll get yourself banned.

Not really- just joining in the spirit of things...

Did he live on the second floor? I think he lives upstairs from me--yes, I think I've seen him before. I heard something late at night, some kind of trouble, some kind of fight, but I couldn't bring myself to ask him what it was.
Anyway, I hope the Mai Mai also got the power adaptor/charger for Carter's iPod (TM). It's a shame, though--they can't add new songs by buying them through the iTunes (TM) Music Store (for $0.99, a song, I might add). -
I have to admit, I still like ER. It's still got that something. Maybe it's the investment of 10 years...or maybe I just think without a trace sux...I don't know. I have to admit though...I was hoping Luka really got it. I can't stand the guy for some reason. It's like they're still trying to fit him into a Doug Ross sterotype. Doesn't work for me.

I can't watch ER for more than two minutes because it gives me a headache and the gory close-ups of blood and body organs makes my stomach queasy so I've honestly never seen more than two minutes of any ER episode ever. But I do think Ming Na is a sexy hottie.
-
uh... ok
-
I used to watch this show but I got tired of it. It is the same thing year after year. I have an idea, let's kill ER and bring back Firefly in it's spot. :)
-
So, when does Carter get caught in a trap and menaced by a cougar?
-
I've never understood why so many of you post about shows you don't like just for the sake of posting. Just because it doesn't have any vampires doesn't mean it's not a good show...
-
Carter is in dire need of permanent woman- get the man a wife!
-
P.S. Has anyone else noticed the odd coincidence of names that are shared between ER and Friends? (Ross and Carol, Rachel Green). Is it just me?
-
Typical Hollywood, makes a star out of the skinny white girl instead of the more interesting actress who happens to have a non-white ethnicity. ************* Do we REALLY have to go through the motions of "will they or won't they" with John and Abbey? I really don't want to watch that. And I think they were dumb to kill off Carter's grandparents, they should have been more aggressive about getting him back into the family business. Sure it might have started to play like the Ewings in Dallas, but now there's no one to guilt him about chosing this thankless job as a doctor. Well, there's always Mary McDonnell as his ice queen mother, but the grandparents were a missed opportunity.

Only thing more typical than that is making the star out of the white guy instead of the actors who aren't Caucasion. At least with the white girls we know they are disposable and won't get any jobs after they reach the age of 25 (in which case they are too old to star alongside Harrison Ford). But the white male stars are pampered for life and will get the opportunity to play the hero until they are 70. -
Also keep Pratt far away from the new chick. He already has a relationship with an Asian girlfriend that has gone nowhere. He doesn't need another one. Gallant needs a sweetheart though.
-
Nothin' makes my day quite like a massive injection of angry sarcasm. More, please.
-
Give the new girl to Jerry, dammit! And I agree with the whole BEND IT/Kiera starmaking deal. That Parminder gal's hot! She's the freaking star of the movie! So why the hell is the sexiest tompole beanboy all over the place instead?
-
Qhy no greenlight TB? ! want the TBers to rip into the less then dynamic duo and their writer! Come on! There's no more fun show on TV then Greenlight!
-
Regis Travolta is right on the money about Dr. Deb Chen. E.R. burned out creatively years ago but I still watch it for
the always "scrumtrelessant" Ming-Na. -
Does the fact that its les nubians and an IPod qualify as a spoiler? It really does sound like someone read the script and then picked out all the boring bits.
-
"Talk to the hand" is cool again, you just have to say it in that monotone, Very Ahnuld way now. It's not a toomah

i used to watch the show for the first 4-5 years, then stopped watching it. however, i started watching it (i watch it when i eat dinner after i come home from work). i continued to watch it for one specific reason this season, and only one reason: don cheadle. that's why. after watching the full season, all i have to say is: I FUCKING HOPE THEY STOP WITH THE JOHN ABBY STORYLINE! I MEAN, A FULL FUCKING SEASON OF ABBY, FUCK! i mean, i couldn't fucking take it anymore. i used to like maura tierney, but after she whined through an entire season and went through two emotions, upset and worried, i couldn't take it anymore. i guess they have jumped the shark when all they can focus on is abby, a second-rate character with no useful purpose on the show at all. I HATE ABBY!
