8/10
John Carter is the comic relief
16 June 2018
In day one we learn a bit more in this world where the hospital of this ER exists in Chicago. I love how all these characters have a lot of things we see that theres lef to explore.

I find John Carter to be laugh out loud hilarious!! His facial expressions alone steal a few laughs. He seems like a very intelligent capable doctor but someone that is oblivious to things. For e.g. rubbing the cream on the woman. He had absolutely no idea in what kind of context that could have been construed. Yet, hes very attentive in detail of observing DR. Bennet and noticing how Dr.bennet is just giving him a tough go of it for reasons that are shown in the pilot. He obviously wasnt respected and was taught the same.

Dr. Bennet is interesting because he at the second episode comes off as a character that I dont like or one that perhaps I do like or rather am intrigued with because he is capable and maybe is the smarter man in the room, though his problem seems like he has to let you know it often enough. Hes arrogant but inside he wants to finally prove to everyone that he can achieve a impressive surgery in the OR like william H. Macys character and have him respect him finally. I feel he wants those things but he goes about it terribly by the way he treats people. He at times portrays someone who will be a shoulder for you to cry on when you're a patient and he tells you your wife is dead, or someone that's cocky.

Thus, it's too early for me to cast him aside. I think the writer made him layered and complicated for a reason. Hes obviously an important character that has room to grow the most.

Then theres the characters we just havent explored yet to see enough of to tell, for e.g. Dr. Ross George clooney.

Hathaway's suicide attempt is very intriguing and to learn her and Ross had a 2 year relationship makes me wonder based on their scenes together, what really went on? I didnt see anything unhealthy so there got to be so much to explore here.

For starters Dr. Ross. Sure, hes a charming man that knows hes good looking. He confident and has passion for what he does and cares a lot about kids. He genuinely seems like he enjoys his job. But we first meet him when hes drunk as hell coming into the ER in the middle of the night and also during the same shift or two as when his girlfriend attempts suicide. Something is there. Of course, those that have seen this may be rolling their eyes bc I'm so wrong these are just feelings based off 2 episodes of watching ER.

Hathaway is obviously the character I want to get know the most because although it came out in 1994, suicide today is so significant and huge, and I can personally relate on a level and would love to learn what happened to her. Not why she did it, but the things that happened to cause her to feel like that was her only choice. Btw, she looks so different then. They all dom

Of course, there was the scene in which Dr. Greene is in the bathroom celebrating his wifes passing the bar as an attorney. They hit a emergency button and it results in an audience.

I immediately felt tension or passion from Susan lewis and greene. I guess I'm wrong but we'll see. I can feel it. And when the great doctor hugs his wife after saying he loves her I cant help but see the train leaving in the background.

Again, John Carter is the character of my choice that you can count on to always laugh with or at! Hes the comic relief in a series about drama and insane thrilling scenes.

I hope we get more John Carter moments and scenes to come.
