Look, Show, you haven't EARNED the right to be all jokey about it
"Another Thursday at County." Even the writers are tired of it. Right? 'Cause they're certainly not trying to be funny about how every week, some pseudo-explodey shocking thing happens, while in the b-plot, some pseudo-current event related-but-not injury happens (this week: woman changing locks on foreclosed houses can't afford day care, so she brings her son along while crushing American dreams because the economy is like one of those snakes that eats its own tail and also they fell through some floorboards and shit), while ER introduces yet another character with a haunted past (related to a pseudo-current event like a tsunami).
Another Thursday, indeed. Wokka wokka wokka.
Last season: Aussie Doc is introduced as an asshole who basically sexually harrasses an intern under the guise of "teaching" her.
Because this show is DOOL! Only with SHITTIER character development!, by the power of sleeping with Neela, he has become Morris' new BFF and a crusader for Dubenko's reinstatement all in three episodes.
Show, you had the potential to have Neela "cure" a male slut who was actually less Evil and more Goofusy, but you blew it. At least SOME people knew how to get that right.
But thanks anyway for Neela's gentle, condescending discussion with Aussie Doc. That was pretty great.
Our hero, ladies and gentleman:
Tony Gates: maverick, excellent teacher, excellent lover, just super-great at everything ever. Also: 35 years old. Also: ruins Tom Petty songs.
Angela Basset's character: like Kerry Weaver, only with kickboxing instead of crutches! And hotness instead of Laura Innes! She lectures! She bullies! She's "a bitch one minute and Mother Teresa the next!" She kickboxes! She's classy! SHE HAS A TRAGIC PAST THAT INVOLVES A CHILD AND POSSIBLY CANCER AND 9/11 AND OUR ECONOMY AND YOUR GRANDMA AND DROWNING KITTENS AND THAT GUY RIGHT THERE!!!
Welcome, Angela.
Dubenko is spending his fired-from-the-hospital time wisely by eating cereal in his undawears and watching crappy TV, then claiming to be working somewhere! Just like Neela did that one time with more clothes on!
Also he does yoga.
Then Neela visits his apartment to bust him. In his undawears.
I do not. Have a crush. On Archie Morris.
I do not. I DO NOT. HE'S NOT A WOOBIE. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT...
*cries* *so hard* My soul is broken. BROKEN. DAMN YOU, LITTLE HOT GINGER MAN WHO WAS A TRUE KINDA A-HOLE AND IS STILL A SASSPANTS BUT IS ALSO A GOOD MAN WHO LOOK AT HIM CRY ARCHIE I DON'T WANT TO WATCH THIS SHOW ANYMORE WHY ARE YOU SO...
In other words:
Er, and possibly the only time I've ever found Sam's annoying sulking and incomptence endearing:
Not that I want Archie to steal Sam from Airguns. Heavens, no.
