10.12 - NICU - January 15th, 2004

From NBC.com:

Quote:
9:59pm 2004-01-15

ABBY AND NEELA ENDURE A ROLLERCOASTER MONTH OF EMOTIONS IN HELPING STRUGGLING NEWBORNS --- A reluctant Abby (Maura Tierney) and Neela (Parminder Nagra) are assigned to the dreaded NICU -- the Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit -- a separate floor where they are confronted with a whole new universe of jargon and helpless babies fighting for their lives as anxious parents wait for miracles that often don't come. The wrenching marathon is part of their month-long rotation, and the pair begin to confront their own fears as they are tested emotionally and professionally. Eventually, they begin to bond with the Chinese parents of sick twins, a baby boy with a faulty heart, a praying mother (as Susannah, guest star Jordan Berkow) who refuses to give up hope for her comatose infant -- and even Dr. Weaver (Laura Innes, who directs), whose newborn baby with Lopez (guest star Lisa Vidal) needs the NICU's help. Noah Wyle, Alex Kingston, Sharif Atkins, Mekhi Phifer and Linda Cardellini also star.

I think I'm one of the few that are actually waiting for this one... or maybe that's just the way on AEB. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

Yeah, actually, I think you are, Noa (sorry!). "Two women fight to save the littlest victims"--argh. I tihnk this is going to be all about personal growth for Abby and Neela, and when I say Abby and Neela, I really mean just Abby.

I have a feeling tonight is going to be the equivalent of being hit in the face with a massive anvil. Look, it's Abby "I had an abortion" Lockhart dealing with babies. Now it's Abby "I was a terrible med student" being Superdoctor. Because that's what I think this ep. is really about: showing us what a great doctor Abby is going to become, if she isn't already.

Carter will make a brief appearance to remind us of this, but other than that, we're not going to get any other characters (besides Kerri & Sandy). And most importantly, there will be absolutely NO Luka. That is impardonable. I watch mainly to see Luby or Lukam interaction. What am I suppose to look forward to now?

Okay, I guess I'm not really being fair. The ep. hasn't even aired yet!

ETA: And the Cluka interaction--how could I forget!

Ep sounds fairly good, I think... I have started to like Neela more, and Abby is always good... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

And since I've recently befriended BT, I expect to get me the ep fairly soon too this time, not a week late... I saw T&G yesterday [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Tra la la la. Commercial break.

So far, so good.

- Lester, my man!
- Is the NICU really *that* feared? (Dude. I think the attending might be Lex Luthor's physician.)
- I love Neela. I do. I really, really do.

Wow. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] That was fantabulous.

Abby and Neela handled those situations so well. Adding the part at the end, at/on "The Skybar" was so great and enjoyable. I loved the part when Abby said Weaver knows she doesn't drink champagne. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img] (Not to mention, both Maura and Parminder handled their roles excellently.)

I was so happy for Kerry and Sandy - they've worked so hard for that baby, and I'm glad that Henry was okay. They picked a good name. Hee, some of those names were quite entertaining.

I liked the little interaction between Carter and Abby. It wasn't played out or overdone; I think it worked really well with the rest of the plotline.

Matt, ha! He was funny. At least there was someone there to lighten up the mood. Unlike the nurse...goodness, what is her problem? "Uh, you do that." Thaaaaaaaaaank you, Abby.

Overall, I adored the episode. It was so bittersweet and emotional. I really thought the writing, directing, and just everything about it was great. It might just go down as my favorite episode of S10.

MT and PN did absolutely amazing job tonights. Great working of the meotions and whatnot.

That elevator bit with Pratt/Sam cracked me the hell up. [img]smilies/look.gif[/img]

Kerry and Sandy finally had the baby! Heeee. [img]smilies/love.gif[/img]

I liked Matt... all those other new faces sucked though. Bitter ass woman, no like.

No promo. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Does that mean were going back to repeats?
