Same here, thought it was pretty good. I haven't been a regular ER watcher in years but sporadically saw the last few episodes. Carter and Benson are the shit. Best characters no doubt.
I liked how they brought all the major characters back. And at the end Carter and the gang are doing exactly what they were doing when the show started.

    How would they die?

    It's terribly unrealistic to have 10 doctors killed off at one hospital in what, 15 years?

    People work at hospitals for 50 years without any deaths to the medical persons but for the average aged doctor.

    I understand that, so how would they die?

    Sorry for not picking up earlier Drew, I was skreepin'.
    Goose got a brain tumor, an intern got stabbed, one was in Iraq and got busted by a roadside bomb, and a helicopter fell on another guy (during a rather satirical episode). That's about it, but at the times those characters died they were pretty important to the plot. Add in Carter's drug habit, a crazy Sally Field, Johny Legs pissin' on cops, another fellow losing his legs etc, etc. The show was far from conventional, it wasn't afraid to take risks and delve from it's "path". Unlike other shows they made a point to pick incidents that actually happened.

    We all know 4 doctors dying in 15 years is probably unrealistic. Yes, but this isn't a documentary, it's merely a show based on reality. Think of it as a modern MASH. Throughout it's run it gave us the serious, the funny, the sad, the satire... a variation of writing few shows have been able to master. Which is why the show lasted so long even though star after star past through it's ranks, in my opinion the show probably had a few more years but chose to do the the classy thing by going out on top.

    Add to that the guest spots done by fantastic actors such as Danny Glover, Sally Field, Mickey Rooney, Ewan McGregor, Alan Alda, Forrest Whitacker, that's just all I can name off the top of my head. And we might have witnessed one of the best shows television has given us ever.

    And MASH?

    MASH was a comedy.
