guess who's the tv junkie?

Ok, so having watched The Apprentice last night, I went on to watch a really good episode of ER over on E4.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!


Talk about powerful stuff. Basic plot premise. Big plane crash over Chicago. There were of course the obligatory plot holes that come from trying to fit a story that could fill a feature film into an hour long tv show. But nevertheless, it was powerful. It did suceed in bringing accross the demands on the medical services.

The most telling comment was the question Abby asked. Was it terrorism? That was the only mention. After that there was only the determined focus on treating the wounded. There was no blame and recrimination. Just people getting on with their job.

Isn't that a good way to live though? I think there may just be a very important lesson to learn there.
