Why Sandy?
Some part of me is thinking that tonight’s ER had a bit of a political undercurrent. Gallant is going to Iraq even though he lets Lewis and County’s Lawyer (who might I add played the second Sunnydale High principle on Buffy the Vampire Slayer) believe he has been called up by the Army. He’s really going overseas to protect Carter and Neela in the event there was a lawsuit over the dead patient who’s chart he falsified on the previous episode. Wow that was a mouthful. Anyway, in this same episode Carrie Weaver’s wife Sandy, a firefighter, dies from injuries in a building collapse. Sandy’s family takes their son Henry away and refuses to let Carrie see him. So deployment to Iraq and Gay Rights in one episode. Anyone else think it’s a coincidence that this script made it to air in an election year? I don’t. I’m sad that Sandy’s dead but I think this is going to bring out a new side of Carrie as she fights for her son.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy
If you’re not watching this show, you’re missing out. The idea is that 5 ultra hip gay men (all with different personalities and specialties) take pity on some poor straight schlub and transform him from zero to hero. They give the guy and his apartment a physical, cultural, and sometimes emotional makeover then send them out into the world to their families, friends, and girlfriends.
With the exception of one cop from Staten Island, there haven’t been any homophobic panic attacks from the straight guys, which is nice. I’m always happy to see straight guys make friends with gay guys. There’s something special about that kind of relationship.
Anyway, as always, I’ve developed a massive crush on one of the gay guys. His name is Thom. he’s the dark haired god that does the interior design magic. Why do I always crush on the gay guys? Ugh. Anyway here’s a picture of the sweetie. He’s delish.
