04 - The Fight

[Dr K Harris]

Discuss the episode here.

A sleep-deprived Alex takes on a night shift in the ER where an all-star hockey enforcer may be skating full-speed towards an early death. Meanwhile, Charlie meets a suburban punk who is facing the biggest fight of his life.

The face Charlie pulls when he is telling his rival that he will kill his dog.... so damn funny!

Probably my favorite flashback, a sweet moment that leads into Alex's only Charlie sighting.  It's another thing he can bring up to try and convince Alex he was 'there', I'm sure she thought she was just seeing things.

Like Charlie's interaction with Eddie too.

There are lots of things that can be bought up this season from season one.... will have to see what happens...

The flashback from this episode is one of my faves. I love the flashbacks into their history, I want to see more in season 3.

So only four episodes in and we have one which mentions... hockey.
I must say I like this more mature erica durance than the one I saw in smallville. The thing that irritated me about smallville early years was a combination of Erica wooden acting and the angst, oy vey sooo much angst.

I give new shows four episodes to settle in and I am liking what I see, let me come back to y'all at the end of season one.

Quick question, I see things about cancelled and renewed, is there a third season? is the show over?

One more quesiton, primarily for Kris, were there any other ex stargate actors in SH? need to know for a special off season recorded ep.

They are filming the third season right now and it comes back on the 22nd of September.

Lexa Doig (Dr Lam on Stargate) is going to be in three episodes of saving hope in series 3, one of which was directed by Michael Shanks.

[Dr K Harris]

Yes there are several actors who turn up in the show... especially the second season...

Here is a list of all the actors who have appeared so far.... not sure if that is a spoiler or not as you might start looking for them before you watch the episode...

Continuing my pre-season 4 rewatch...

I always laugh at Charlie's attempt to wake himself up, but by the end it's a little bittersweet because you can see how desperate he is. And even though he doesn't get the exact result he wanted, it worked. He still has healing to do, he can't wake up yet, but he wins the battle against pneumonia.

Music is awesome in this series, but it really seemed to stand out to me in this episode. No songs for a change, just really great, moving, and even haunting background music.

And the last scene still gets me after so many rewatches. Damn onions.

I've said before that the lights don't bother me in this series, but what does is a spinning camera. One scene in this episode has a fast-spinning camera for a few moments. Glad there aren't very many because they make me a little queasy if they go on too long.
