I watched ER the other night, for the first time in a few years. I haven't missed much, it seems. It was a mind-numbingly boring episode. Why haven't they cancelled the show already?It was pretty obvious what was missing from the get-go. Paul McCrane.
For more than seven seasons, Paul McCrane played Dr. Robert Romano on the show. Really, it was his pricky badassiness* that made the show. Not an original cast member, the then quite crappy show would never be the same after McCrane joined the cast in 1997. Okay, it was still quite crappy, but at least Paul McCrane was in it.
Fast forward to 2003. Apparently McCrane asked for too much money, as his character was killed off.
Bad decision. It was bad enough they had to chop off his arm** in an earlier season, they had to crash a helicopter on him?
Oh well. Apparently McCrane guest stars as a villain in the latest season of 24. Can't wait for it to hit Finnish TV screens. Is it wrong to root for the villains?
* Yes, it's a word. At least it is now.
** Yeah, they did it for real, I'm pretty sure. It's called method acting.
