For all you Neela-haters out there, it had to be a tough episode of ER to watch last night, since it was primarily about her and the ongoing relationship she’s maintained with Dr. Michael “I was on that other show filmed in Hawaii. No, the other other one” Gallant.
We split our viewing time between County General where Neela contiues to psych herself out, especially in the presence of RatPratt and Iraq, where Cap’n Pierce et al put our fighting men and women back together (insert theme song from M.A.S.H. here).
I was so happy to see Gallant again. I thought he was jolted off the show at the end of last season rather abruptly and, after seeing one episode of Hawaii, figured he’d be back. And back, he will be…at least temporarily, as he’s transporting a critical young, Iraqi burn patient (victim of a car bomb) back to County General for treatment. And here, I thought all that would happen was that Neela would FedEx the arms of that one woman to Gallant.
We also discovered that Neela can knock back a fair amount of Knob Creek Whiskey and still be coherent enough to say “No” to no-strings-attached, casual sex with a cute guy. That is sooooooooo unrealistic. Really.
Hang in there honey…your man is coming home. LOL.
