*SOB* I just watched ER. Oh my... I honestly don't think I can ever get into a helicopter now. *sob* I won't mention spoilers as I remember some people are on the west coast and have yet to see it, but I was sobbing hard at the end of the episode and screaming at the characters to realize that a particular one was dead. *sob* Every time they mentioned the character's name I'd yell "That's because he/she's dead!" (Obviously I used the proper gender, I'm just doing that for spoiler reasons) Oh man... the irony... and tragedy... and GODS I'm sad!
And so I'm in tears and I sit down and check e-mail, and what do I find out? Jonathan Brandis (I know, I'm showing my age, but I loved the guy ever since The Never-Ending Story) killed himself. Apparently on the 12th... I just found out now *sob* Soooo sad! I loved him to death on Seaquest DSV. Now that's one series I would love on DVD. So much of its quirky look comes through on Stargate SG1 :-) And Johnathan was the reason I watched that show to begin with. *sniffles*
NOT a happy night! *sniffles*
Now I get to go polish off the list of challenges/bunnies for the next Sneezefic Challenge!

Date: 2003-11-21 06:39 am (UTC)As for bonus features on the extended version- honestly, I'm not the person to ask about that. Lady Korana or Hermione probably are. I've watched most of the first bonus disk and select parts of second... I really just jump around a heck of a lot. I just like seeing the actors out of their roles mostly. *G* It's been a long while since I explored that disk set, though. I'm dying to listen to another one of the full commentaries.
Now, as for ER... I actually started liking Romano a bit before his accident. I started understanding him... his character got a lot deeper than the snippy, uptight, typical-surgeon bastard. Then when he lost his arm I was very sympathetic for him. I know I'd probably go insane if I lost my sight or the ability to type/write. OF course there are ways around it and ways of dealing with it, but he was denied premium support(in a replacement arm) and had to give up the one thing he was perfect and fantastic at. That would kill me. Annalisa had a theory earlier in the season that he was going to kill himself, so when he died tonight I was sobbing and feeling horrible about the irony(especially since he was the one who wrote the order to have the patient transferred!) but I'm glad it wasn't suicide. Those damn helicopters!!!
As for Prat... he's not my favorite guy... he feels like... I dunno... but I usually could care less if he gets yelled at or if he succeeds. I do like his approaches sometimes- and you're right, he does give it his all. But I'm the sort of person who never, ever takes risks, so I have a very hard time understanding why he does most of what he does. It just doesn't fit logically into my mind. But that's just my own personal feelings about him. Usually I stick up for the other characters when they diss him, I must admit. Maybe also because I've known them longer and are more used to their styles?
Oh, as for the actor- Oohhhh yes- he is SUCH a sweetheart! With a great sense of humor, too. I could just see him laughing bigtime when he read(or even suggested!) how his character would be killed off. And his acting today was top-notch!!
As for bald men...*drool* I don't mind balding men(as long as they don't try to hide it or combover or something like that) but guys who shave their heads.... Mmmmmmmm... VERY yummy indeed! I kept admiring the bits of grey in Romano's beard during the episode tonight. I like when guys look natural about that sort of thing... very sexy when they accept their appearance with the dignity and pride that comes with age and wisdom.
Anyway... I'm definitely going to miss him. But the character was terribly depressed, so I certainly think it's better this way, in the end.
