i should’ve been alive to talk with my coworkers at the watercooler about ER when it was airing

your blorbos don't have to be romantic to love each other (#platonic love wins) but also they don't have to love each other to be romantic. ship those characters as a loveless marriage. make their feelings tragically one-sided with no hope of change. put them in a dead end relationship that they both know needs to end but neither are willing to admit it yet. more bad ships forever. its enrichment for me.

I can't find it now but I saw someone describe Nolan's Odyssey as a story about an American soldier returning home from Vietnam and others saying it's about the war on terror. And I think it's true, and that story is told well. I don't think it's a perfect movie, like how some dialogue is awkward and too on the nose. But I disagree deeply with most of the criticism I've seen. People shouldn't expect a historically accurate, direct word to screen adaptation. Nolan was never going to make that and I think an adaptation looking to appeal to a wide audience shouldn't aim to be that. That's why it shouldn't matter that many characters aren't white* and why it shouldn't matter that no Greeks were cast. It's an American film, made by Americans, primarily (although of course not exclusively) for an American audience. It's based on a key myth for all western civilization, not solely Greece, and the US is part of that. This very basis can be criticized sure, but the film shouldn't be judged based on how it holds up to the text when it clearly had a different story to tell through examining the myth.

*I know this is mostly racism, but to an extent has to be accepted as criticism. A Korean man would not have been at Troy

#the odyssey 2026 #I think it's an amazing movie and a poor adaptation #I also will say I loved the way it looked thank you Nolan #Also also the production news that have come out are terrible I'm not defending that

It's not the first time they've confirmed things that either aren't explicit at all or were subsequently shown in the show but I'm really not a fan of this. I think his mother dying via suicide instead of abandoning him recontextualizes s2 Robby completely. And I don't necessarily think it's bad that they cut it out, but they very easily could've not mentioned it in interviews. Especially as, from what I understand, they still intend to keep it as part of the canon and address it next season. It would've been 100 times more impactful to learn about it through the actual show

Also I've never felt as bad for Carter as I do for him in season 15, at least pre-transplant. He's so alone. He didn't even tell anyone but Banfield! I'd go as far as to say he'd accepted dying without having anyone there

#john carter #:(#the finale leaves him far happier but it's also ambiguous in so many ways...

Watching ER has been a consistent part of of my life for the past six months and I've finally finished it. The final season and particularly the finale were a love letter to the show itself. I think that, for a 15 season medical drama, it's impressive and holds up very well and I'm so glad I ended up watching it in its entirety

#er 1994 #this is so serious to me. I can't believe instagram reposts of the pitt memes led me here but I'm glad they did #john carter you will have a permanent place in my heart. and on my blog

ER - every living breathing moment

Carter coming back and the episode is set on Valentine's day. The Implications

#er 1994 #john carter

I'm so scared of finishing it... Only 8 episodes left...

#98% done 😥#I'll be done tomorrow. I'm scared of finding out what happens then... I def have a concerning attachment to this #Embarrassingly I think it's probably defined my year

One of my favorite ER features is the occasional supernatural element. Santa canonically exists. Some patients know things they shouldn't. The dream runner episode. And it's a small but consistent thing throughout the whole show

#er 1994 #I'm 100% sure I made this exact post before but ig I deleted it. Regardless I still stand by this

I love Abby ❤️❤️❤️❤️ She's so smart and good with patients and funny and complex and strong and almost canonically bisexual ❤️

#er 1994 #abby lockhart #top 3 characters to me for sure

Almost everyone introduced after s8-ish at least initially comes off as annoying and some form of combatant. I get conflict drives a story but it's excessive

#er 1994 #Made it to s15 banfield is introduced and it feels like we've seen this exact storyline ten times now

Oh boy, a complex character who's a woman! I love messy characters who hurt everyone around them and continue the cycles that hurt them!! Can't wait to share this joy with fellow fans– why's everyone calling her a bitch

They really torture Abby in s14. And Maura Tierney acts the fuck out of it

#er 1994 #abby lockhart #blackout is hard to watch

Carter playlist because it's gotten that bad... Vaguely chronological

#john carter #er 1994 #I'm not sure why I'm sharing but here 🫣#Quite a few carby focused ones because well I think about them a lot.. Some kem too #Spotify

John Carter and his million failed romances. He was continuously bouncing between loving his girlfriends far more than they cared for him and being avoidant. Sometimes somehow even both simultaneously
