Realistic Rescue Scene

The rescue of the boater is one of the best, most realistic rescue scenes in the series. Like the rescue of the cops in the near-shore helicopter crash in a later episode (S6:E8), Randy Mantooth's Johnny leads the action and the dialog. I have no inside information but much of the dialog in that scene seems ad-libbed ... and it's AWESOME.

Also watch for another good performance by Julie London's Nurse McCall in the cafeteria with the kid.

I'm nitpicking again

Another good episode, but the bit with the pregnant cat that wandered into the station had an unrealistic ending. Only hours after the kittens are born the mother and offspring disappear. The guys return from a run, and the cat family is nowhere in sight. I'd sure like to know how a cat with four kittens can pick them all up and move elsewhere.

In the hospital, an opportunity for a major laugh was missed. Doctors Bracket and Early are working on the case of the woman with a brain injury. To finish the scene, Early says "Lets look at those pictures." They start doing so, and the scene ends. I thought it would have been hysterical if the pictures had been from Early's vacation.

It's understandable that they didn't do it, as Emergency isn't a comedy. But I would have been rolling on the floor laughing.
