ER review. Season opener was good, not great. The characters are generally uninspiring. I found it interesting that there was a major accident that the show set up at the beginning, which is normally the foil for the rapid pace medical dialog and proceedures. However, the show's characterisitic tension and fast pace is gone. Can you imagine Peter Benton strolling around when there are three surgery consults?

The new med student, the Indian English lady seems like a solid character-may be the accent. We just got tired of the reference to the fact that she was Indian-English, big deal!!! Romano was back in form. Carter and Abi, that's a story line that needs to die a quick and death. Pratt-stupind character. Other Black dude-his character is lost. Debbbie Chen--her character is quickly fading into uselessness as is that of Susan.

The writers have a diffucult task of re-creating the characters to make for a halfway decent show. Let's see if they can manage that.
