thewhiteowl July 15, 2018 Share July 15, 2018 A plane crashes into the eighth floor of Angels Memorial causing chaos. Noa has an accident. Willis admits he needs Rox in his life. The Doctors gather at court to support Leeann's custody of Ariel. Link to comment

I thought she had a serious head wound at the hospital, but there she is, just released, with a clean scalp. Was the ghost soldier supposed to be Willis's brother, or just some random guy from his past? Will somebody please shave for just one day? "We're going to send you to an acute care unit..", because, you know, there aren't any other hospitals in Los Angeles City or County. It would have made the whole episode for me if, when Willis ran out there after Rox, he was flattened by the falling treadmill from Physical Therapy. Pan up to the 9th floor and there's two firefighters looking down. "Sorry. Our bad." Angus getting all uppity and in his boss's face. Wasn't it just last week you put a patient into speech therapy because you told her there wouldn't be any problems with her surgery? 6 hours ago, ams1001 said: Guess douche doc is redeemed?

TVForever July 19, 2018 Share July 19, 2018 Well, that’s that. There are some stories I wish could have been wrapped up a bit better, but otherwise I was sad to realize that I won’t miss this show AT ALL. Link to comment
Ohwell July 19, 2018 Share July 19, 2018 One of the worst finales I've ever seen. I won't miss this show at all. It's too bad because the first season started off well enough, then it went steadily downhill afterwards. I was embarrassed for Luis Guzman and Rob Lowe for being in this dreck, but I hope to see them again in some much better stuff. 1 Link to comment
Xantar July 19, 2018 Share July 19, 2018 You know you're checked out when you spend the final few minutes wondering, "Hey, why is that female voice singing about being a man in a silly red sheet?" At least the writers didn't make the mistake of many other shows and end on a cliffhanger. As endings go, that was about as good as could be expected. Link to comment

Netfoot July 19, 2018 Share July 19, 2018 (edited) Pretty much exactly what I expected. Except for Pater Kodachrome because I didn't see the sexual predator coming until she began to experience the blurred vision. I expected him to hit on her, but the Mickey Finn came as a surprise. And of course Edisonhead wants her mommeee! Edited July 19, 2018 by Netfoot 3 Link to comment

The whole video camera thing was absurd. In any ER, let alone one in a major city that goes into Code Black almost every day, an intern shooting video would never be tolerated no matter who his daddy was. That should have been nipped in the bud with Leanne throwing Diego's rear end out of the ER and killing his medical career right quick. In regard to the series closer, I found it to be disappointing. There were just to many contrived plot threads and the plane crash was silly. Same thing with Ethans' brother's ghost. There had to be other ways to tie up the wonderful personal relationships. There were some high points in that regard: -Ethan and Rox (about damn time that he figured that out) - Ethan and his dad (David Clennon is always good) - Leanne's plea to the judge, brilliantly delivered by Marcia Gay Harden in a nice show closer 4 Link to comment
sadie July 19, 2018 Share July 19, 2018 I’ll miss ya Code Black. Dear tv world please put Rob Lowe back on my tv somewhere, anywhere. Not the greatest finale but it had its moments just because these actors are so good. Onto the next! 6 Link to comment

I thought she had a serious head wound at the hospital, but there she is, just released, with a clean scalp. I suspected it last episode when the whole thing was initially set up. "He's just doing this to hit on her (or worse)." Drugging her wine to the extent that she would be visibly impaired before dinner even came was a tad obvious, though. And the restaurant staff all just stood there and watched her suddenly run away and did…nothing? 14 hours ago, Dowel Jones said: It would have made the whole episode for me if, when Willis ran out there after Rox, he was flattened by the falling treadmill from Physical Therapy.

I missed the first 15 minutes because I was watching something that always goes to 10:04 or 10:14 for some stupid reason (and, well, I kinda almost forgot it was on) and when I changed the channel I was thinking I'll just catch the beginning on demand later…and by the end I really felt no need to go back because it didn't seem like I had missed anything important. I thought I at least would have missed the plane crash, but it happened later. Maybe if I'm bored this weekend… I was mildly amused by the fact they have used several songs sung by John Ondrasik/Five for Fighting in past episodes and then they ended with a cover of one of his songs.

I looked that up a couple weeks ago; the article I read said he extended his rotation there to do the video. I wasn't clear on whether he was actually working as a doctor while he filmed, though.

cali1981 July 21, 2018 Share July 21, 2018 There was a very nice guest shot by Romy Rosemont. She was the woman who had reunited with her long lost love. She is always good and may be remembered for one of the most gut wrenching scenes in Glee's six year history. She was Carol, Finn's mother and after Corey Montieth died they wrote Finn's death into the show and there was a scene in which Carol is boxing some of Finn's things and grief overwhelms her. It was a very powerful piece of acting. 4 Link to comment

SuzieQ July 21, 2018 Share July 21, 2018 Well they sure wrapped everything up in a nice little bow! Kind of trite, but at least they didn't leave you hanging. Kind of a leap that Willis was locked in a psycho ward in the previous episode and it all worked out in 43 minutes, lol. Decent show that was entertaining. I'm sure Rob will be popping up in something besides Atkins commercials. I kind of liked his character in this. Bye Ethan! 4 Link to comment

IT was nice that they didn't. The show went off the rails when Angus' brother fell out of that helicopter. If an actor isn't working out, just kill him/her off or have them move to Cleveland or something. There didn't seem to be a real plan or anything. Still, the acting was great and some of the plots were really good. 2 Link to comment

Yeah, I think that was more for their awkward introduction of Willis' character into the show because it sort of petered out once that storyline finished. Link to comment
