georgia weather Sucks

The weather in Georgia is absolutely ridiculous. I mean really. On Monday it can be 75 degrees and sunny, and then on Tuesday it will be snowing. Seriously. I don't even have the luxury of making that up. It really happens that way. It's horrible. Georgia has the worst weather ever. It never knows what season it wants to be. One you're sunbathing, the next you're pulling out your winter coat. And what sucks even more is the constant thermostat changing. Does Georgia weather realize how expensive it is to keep turning the heat on and off? I'll tell it. Hella expensive! Wtf, Georgia. WTF?


ER


ER ended its 15 year run on NBC last week. It was bittersweet. And in my own opinion it was about 8 years too late. ER was one of my favorite shows of all time back in the day. I was a religious watcher. Never, EVER, missed an episode. And if I did, I cried. I was that in to it. I loved it. I started watching somewhere in the middle of the first season. One of the episodes I first remember watching live was "Love's Labor Lost," where Mark Greene misdiagnosed a pregnant woman, who ended up dying after giving birth to her first child. It was such a powerful episode.

ER was my first real introduction to George Clooney. I remember thinking, "who is THAT?!" He was the finest man I think I had ever seen, and still probably holds true to this day. I fell in love with George that day. I remember watching the episode "Hell and High Water" during the second season. Clooney's character, Doug Ross, was about to be fired from his job when he ends up saving this boy from a storm drain. It was such an amazing episode. I remember holding my breath and everything. It was so good. And I'm pretty sure that was the first episode of the series where they went outside the hospital for an episode. It was just so good. Clooney should have definitely, without question, won an award for that episode.


Clooney left ER during season 5. Julianna Margulies, who played Carol Hathaway, left in season 6, and ER was never the same. They kept bringing in all these new characters to try to '"replace" the old ones, but it was just impossible. Seasons 7 and 8 weren't too bad, but once they killed off Mark Greene in the middle of season 8, the show really started to go downhill. The only character/actor to be in all 15 seasons, besides the nurses, was Carter, played by Noah Wyle, and even he went on hiatus for the last 2 seasons.


As much as I loved it, I was glad to see it end. And what made it even better was they brought back a lot (A LOT) of the old characters in the last season, even the ones who died. It was a flashback, chill. Of all the characters that left and came back for the last season, there was: George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Anthony Edwards, Noah Wyle, Sherry Stringfield, Eriq La Salle, Alex Kingston, Laura Innes, and Shane West. Not bad.


Want to give a little shout out to all the nurses/EMT characters/actors that were also there from the beginning: Laura Ceron, Deezer D, Yvette Freeman, Emily Wagner, Lynn Henderson, Abraham Benrubi, Lily Mariye, Montae Russell, Ellen Crawford, and Dinah Lenney. Some honorable mentions are: William H. Macy, Amy Aquino, Connie Marie Brazelton, Troy Evans, John Aylward, Demetrius Navarro, and Bellina Logan.


ER had a great run. But I'm glad its over.


Lost


There has been some talk that two major characters will die on Lost by the end of the season. The producers/writers/TPTB, have said that it will be characters that are in love with other characters on the show, and also characters that we, the audience, like.


Now. If one of the characters is Elizabeth Mitchell, I'm going to have to fight someone. But here is my theory... Elizabeth's character, Juliet, is not a character that too many fans are attached to. When she first appeared everyone, except me, hated her, but now people are "growing" to like her. And now that she is with Sawyer, I think more and more people are beginning to like her, except for maybe the Kate/Sawyer shippers. But because of this, I don't think they would kill her off. Plus, she hasn't really served her/a purpose yet as a character. She's been on since the beginning of season 3, and has yet to really "do" anything. In other words, they had to bring her character on for a reason, and so far, there hasn't really been one, or else why bring her character on at all? My only other worry about them killing off Juliet is her name. The producers, or someone, has said that her character is named after the character from Romeo and Juliet. Now, unless there is some other Romeo and Juliet that I don't know about, that Juliet kills herself. Wtf, producers. WTF? I also have yet to see the connection between the two Juliets, as well. Supposedly, the creators don't do anything unless there is a reason, so if they specifically named her Juliet for a reason, what is it? And they've said that Juliet will be in the last season, but that doesn't mean they can kill her, and then magically bring her back like they've done with some other characters. That doesn't count. All I know is they better not kill her off. I mean it.


I think that's all for now. I've rambled enough.


Until tomorrow.

Peace
