Thoughts on The War is Home: ER Season Premiere

Can Moretti Run the ER?

Alright. So did you watch or did you miss it? I watched. Honestly, I thought the show lacked its usual luster until Gates flipped his wig and attacked the patient who started the riot and then began parading him around the ER. Crazy right? Not as crazy as reassigning him to the ICU.

I will be honest. I was in and out of watching ER. In fact, I missed nearly all my favs on Thursday night. I gave up the last 15 minutes of ER because I couldn’t hear it to begin with (I had a sleepy baby in my arms and didn’t want to turn it up to wake him). I know… Where’’s my dedication to the show? Oh believe me, I have it but are you like me? Do you miss the seasons past when they did the show live? To me those shows felt like the ER. Very hyped. Very electric with emotion and tension.

I think that this is what this last one may have been missing. That certain amount of edge of your seat that we love about the show.

Plus, I know I am contradicting myself here (a bit) but I don’t really know how I feel about Moretti yet. I know that I blogged about Stanley Tucci once before but (and please don’t think that I am recanting what I originally said, I am not), but I don’t know if this is the role for him. I guess I expected more from him in the season premiere but it didn’t live up to what I expected.

Tell me what you think: Was this season premiere a let down compared to some of ER’s past premiere episides? What do you make of Stanley Tucci now? Am I being picky? Is it too early to tell?
