Goodbye Cruel World…

Tonight was a sad night. ER rocked the drama hardcore, and every time they do that I have to say goodbye to a character I love. In tonight’s episode, I almost had to say goodbye to two characters I love. Tonight’s episode was Paul McCrane’s last appearance on ER. Rocket Romano is no more. Last season he lost his arm to the tail rotor of an helicopter. After some poignant flashbacks from his helipad incident, Dr. Romano was crushed to death by a severely damaged helicopter falling from the same helipad on the hospital roof where he lost his arm.

I was caught completely off guard. Rocket was always one of my favorite characters because he had so much depth. Yes, he was evil, but he loved his Lizzie and everyone knew it. I actually had hope that this season she would break down and hook up with him and maybe soften him a little bit. I guess I’m a mush about Rocket. I’m still very sad to see Paul McCrane leave the cast of ER. I’ve loved him since he was in Fame.

Tonight we almost lost Chuck. Susan had been struggling with whether or not she loved Chuck and whether or not she wanted to be with him. Her confusion cleared itself up really quickly when she thought he’d been in the wrecked helicopter. After finding out that he wasn’t she was thrown into another panic when he passed out from a splenic injury. Of course Lizzie saved him, but still.. twice in one episode? Are you people trying to give me a panic attack? Anyway, Chuck is played by Donal Logue. For those of you who don’t remember, he played the greasy crazy cab driver on those MTV commercials in the 90’s. Yeah! That guy! Anyway I think he’s really cute and an amazing character actor. I hope he gets more screen time on ER. Anyway, I’m still in love with Sherry Stringfield. Yes I know I’m weird. Goodnight :)
