ER (1994)
ER Observations
I never watched ER during its first-run on NBC, but over the past year, have become addicted to the reruns on TNT. Having said that, some observations:
1. The loss of Greene opened a wound from which the ER has never recovered.
2. God, how I miss Corday.
3. They were never able to replicate the very real, very flawed, very riveting friendship b/w Ross and Greene. They tried with Kovac and Carter, but I never bought it.
4. Sherry Stringfield is a goldmine. Sorry that she won't be sticking around this season.
5. LOVE Sam. She totally rocks.
6. Here's to hoping ER doesn't become the Abby Lockhart Show again.
7. Please, for the love of God, get rid of Morris and Ray. They stink!
8. Where's Weaver?
My two cents, for what they are worth. Be interesting to see what they serve up this season.
See you in Trauma One.
The Cradle Will Fall (2004)
Not as good as a Lifetime movie...
But it was OK. I'm a big fan of MHC, having lost count of how many of her books I've read through the years. The Cradle Will Fall was the first one I read and remains my favorite. Angie Everhardt was better than I expected and the end gave me the heebie jeebies just like it did in the book. However, the dialogue was pretty lame (who says "amiss" in everyday conversations?) and as aforementioned, somewhat talky. Still all in all, not bad.
I will add that Carol Higgins Clark should probably stick with writing,(I've never read her books, but I know she's a popular author) because she is a terrible actress. I saw her in the adaptation of her mother's book, A Cry in the Night and I cringed whenever she was on screen both in this and that movie.
