Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Hmm, I think I have to agree about bearded Eion Bailey.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I don't know whether to laugh or to be appalled.
I think both, but I am tempted to buy it for my mother.
Thanks, Sumi. (though I am still in ita's corner on him)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I bet you a nickel nobody is going to suffer lasting trauma on ER from watching a guy blow his brains out. We'll never hear about that again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it's mitigated, Trudy, by it being really damned obvious he was gonna do it. Much less post traumatic stress suffered in situations like that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

AAAAUGH!!! My eyes!

If for any reason you are not happy with your gnome, simply return it to us and we will refund your money. No questions asked.]

Band of Brothers! So THAT'S where I saw Eion Bailey before er.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That gnome is funny, if only because of the crossed fingers. I wish it were a little cheaper, though, because how fun would it be to buy one to smash it??

He also threatened them with the gun before he did it.
They never let things impact that actually would-- the helicopter crashing in the ambulance bay, the various vehicles that have plowed into the waiting room... Carter, Abby, and Mark were upset by being personally attacked on the premises, but the incidents never seemed to bother anyone else.
It annoys me deeply how they have to inject dozens of far out tragedies into an EMERGENCY ROOM. And nobody can just have a kid... well, Susan is the first. There has to be a custody battle or a divorce or someone dead. Hell, Eric LaSalle's character got all three AND a question of paternity AND the kid was disabled. Oy.
