Holby City S19 E44 - Go Ugly Early

This was a review I’ve really not looked forward to writing.  I’m not sure I’ve done that well at keeping a secret of how much I adore Bernie Wolfe, so I’ve been geared for pain.  BUT, I shall cover the other stuff first.

Jimmer.  I’m oddly fond of the fruitcake!  Although I missed his sidekick double-team act!  I imagine he must be SO much fun to write for!  I was really pleased to see him back, and of course, appreciated that he was drafted in to help with the light relief storyline which was needed to balance the high drama of departmental closures (sob).  I’m not entirely sure what the intention was with the whole Dom/Lofty drama though.  I feel like there was supposed to be a point and I missed it?  Ah, well.

Guy Self is a twisted little gnome, and Ollie really needs to grow a pair.  I get the whole wanting your in-laws on side as much as possible, but since even Zosia has no time for Guy, was it really necessary to go to such lengths?  And even if he felt he needed to try, once rebuffed, could he not have just walked away?  And to have spilled all that stuff which was not entirely his to share as well?  I am excessively self sufficient and private, so perhaps it hit me more than it might others, but I’d have never forgiven Ollie for that.  Goodness me!

Jac had a few seconds of awesomeness, for which I felt huge gratitude.  Faced with a gaping hole that is the loss of Bernie, I need at least one gorgeous, kick-ass woman to get me through the Holby week, and that brief moment helped a fraction.

That man who tried to control his wife!  HOW had she let him get away with that for so long!  SO glad she told him what for when offered the bovine patch!  People really do have the strangest relationships.

So, Nina the Snake was not quite a total and complete snake after all.  I still won’t ever forgive her though.  Bah.

Aand, on to the inimicable Bernie Wolfe.  It takes an exit episode to have more than a few minutes of her, but by god did she remind us this week of how she can act.  I felt the empathy and waves of yearning for her old army life reaching out through the TV, her retorts were utterly on point, her passion and fury were palpable, and she stood with her hands in her scrub pockets just enough to make me feel so good whilst feeling so bad!  It was delightful to have Serena so blatantly mentioned from the beginning of the episode, but again, just so sad that it takes an exit episode of her love to bring her to the forefront of people’s minds again.  The shot of Bernie stood looking around the now empty trauma unit was really painful - although we’d already seen it in the summer trailer, watching it in context was so much harder.  I was really happy to see Ric fighting in Bernie’s corner (after their initial antagonism when she first joined on Keller), and was actually pretty blown over that she should offer his resignation to enable her to keep her position.  That scene where Hanssen revealed that to Bernie - I also thought Hanssen was superb, his face when she stormed out and he knew immediately he’d lost one of the most kick-ass surgeons he had...

I loved the running scene at the end, I swear Ric’s legs are more hairless than mine (TMI, sorry!), and Hanssen in running shorts was just great.  It goes without saying that Bernie in running clothes made my entire week (and I have to acknowledge that I’d have happily watched an entire hour of her running!), however short the scene.  Her goodbye to Ric actually made me cry, which was a bit of a shocker, but it was rather well played.

As to the actual nature of her goodbye - I’m getting vibes which suggest that people are pretty happy with the fact that she’s taking a brief vacay to go grape picking with Serena before heading off to do humanitarian work in the Sudan.  Yes, it’s fab that she’s actually in touch with Serena, that they’re in a place where Serena is happy to see Bernie and all.  But (and yes, I know it’s a drama etc etc, and I admit I may be a bit of a hopeless romantic, damn my stupid naive soul), but I can’t help feeling sad that she’s then leaving Serena again to head off to Africa.  Let me first say that it’s far better than I feared through much of the episode - her obvious nostalgia and desire for her old army life left me fearing that she’d be reenlisting and heading back to eg. Kandahar, which is a far more ‘locked in’ future, so France and then Africa is a far more hopeful outcome.  And I guess Serena isn’t ready to come back, which means she probably isn’t ready for a full on relationship yet either, so it’s not like Bernie could’ve stayed in France with her - and nor should she, because that would be completely subsuming her own self for the love of Serena, totally unhealthy.  So it’s fair enough that she should then go off and pursue something for herself... Oh, I don’t know.  I’m just gonna lay it on the line and say I’m team Bernie forever, team Berena too.  Whatever that means.  And I’ve just realised I’ve rambled FAR more than I ever have in one of these post-ep opinions of mine, so I’m sorry to anyone who ISN’T Bernie obsessed, back to normal next week, for now, gonna go drown my sorrows!

Shane Watson's Libido To Blame For Injury Curse

Shane Watson's idyllic marriage to Fox Sports presenter - and former Ian Thorpe handbag - Lee Furlong is the unlikely reason behind a slew of new injuries that threaten to derail the cricketer's career, according to insiders. The accusation comes as Watson battles to overcome a string of injuries since he tied the knot in mid-2010 with Furlong - a decision he is now said to deeply regret, despite his eternal happiness. Prior to his nuptials, Watson was on a hot streak on the cricket field, scooping numerous Allan Border medals and shining in an otherwise forgettable Ashes tour of England in 2009. However, the all-rounder has recently been struck down with a new injury that could hamper his involvement in the three forms of the game. But it is the way the injury was sustained that is raising eyebrows within Cricket Australia. [caption id="attachment_1929" align="aligncenter" width="275"] Furlong, a taskmaster[/caption] The Watson story bears similarity to that of AC Milan footballer Kevin Prince Boateng, who has himself missed a vast number of Serie A matches this season. Boateng's girlfriend, Sports Illustrated model Melissa Satta, revealed last month that the couple's vigorous sex life was "the reason he is always injured." Since Watson and Furlong tied the knot, it is believed the pair have engaged in weekly coitus - estimated at 10-15 times a week, slightly above Boateng's weekly indulgence of 7-10 -  and insiders have suggested that this promiscuous behaviour is what has sparked Watson's recurring back troubles. Cricket Australia team performance manager Pat Howard said the injury-prone Watson could not keep playing all three forms of the game if he maintained such a prolific and healthy sex life. [caption id="attachment_1930" align="aligncenter" width="306"] Satta, costing AC Milan millions[/caption] "We've tried asking him to tone things down, but they obviously have a healthy relationship; they're both young people in the prime of their lives, so there's not much you can do from an administrative point of view," Howard told The Public Apology. "What I will say is he was playing a lot better when he was single and just getting the occasional root on a tour of India." "Shit, I thought getting married meant you didn't have sex any more," Howard chuckled, quietly pleased with his cliched observation on the pitfalls of married life. SEX BAN TO APPLY TO ALL: However, The Public Apology can reveal that Cricket Australia is contemplating a total sex ban on the 25 CA-contracted players, in the wake of injuries to Pat Cummins, James Pattinson and a number of other key performers. "These young blokes have gotten famous real quick and, as a result, young sheilas are throwing themselves at them in nightclubs. Do you expect them to turn down a night of guilt-free groupie-style sex just so they can bowl a few more dot balls?" Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said. "If you don't have sex you can't get injured - and therefore you play well and justify your large pay packets. Abstinence is the only answer." [caption id="attachment_1931" align="aligncenter" width="290"] Cummins, unable to spurn the advances of young female fans[/caption] Howard said the move was inspired by American college sports - in particular Mormon schools such as BYU - and the incredible success of Denver Broncos quarterback and staunch Christian, Tim Tebow. Some observers have also pointed to the 1948 Invincibles side, which had a strong Catholic contingent, as evidence that religion and sport can mix. "Tebow and [Sacramento Kings point-guard, Jimmer] Fredette are just two examples of how abstinence and religion can lead to on-field results," Sutherland said. "If we can somehow convince our cricketers to stop sleeping around - and, shit, maybe even take up some kind of religion - then I think we'd be in a lot better shape than we are." There are no plans as yet to enforce Christian ideals within the Australian dressing-room, although well-documented Catholic Matthew Hayden is believed to have expressed interest in helping the team discover spirituality. "If Cricket Australia asked me to hug a bunch of blokes and tell them that I love them and that God cares about them, then I'd do it in a heartbeat," Hayden said. "I love hugging blokes. I just fucking love it."
