  • thanks guys

    I started ER late last year and was dying for someone to talk to about it, so I found this show! Every time I watch a great episode I listen to STT later on to hear it broken down again and it’s always fun to hear their opinions on it! I also appreciate how much care they take and all the details and facts they share. Today, I watched a bunch of s15 and after Old Times was excited to hear the gang’s thoughts on it (what a great ep :’) btw), and realized that I’ve caught up to them! I think it’s ... more

  • Drama

    Too much personal drama and medical needs. Not everything is a trigger and shouldn’t be. More therapy is needed if you can turn every patient into something you have dealt with. This is fiction after all.

    Beats a dead horse when trying to make a point. Say it and move on.

    Hosts are arrogant.
