11 - The Law of Contagion

[Dr K Harris]

Discuss the episode here.

When a plane is forced to land due to a sick passenger, the patient is taken to Hope Zion where Alex performs emergency surgery and discovers that this passenger may have brought a deadly and contagious virus into the hospital.

I like that Episode. Like this Episode because we Find about Charlie's Life before Hope Zion and About his Parents and his Childhood.

It is a pity though that nothing has happened with the background of the story.... yet...

Ok I watched a tonne of episodes today, like 3 of them and two yesterday, I am officially hooked, I like the characters, I enjoy Alex, maggie is cute and I just want to protect her from that asshole brit she is dating.

The moment that got this for me "I was in the car and I saw my parents die".

Did we have to lift the character Bio DIRECTLY from stargate? srsly?

I really enjoyed this episode, as a bloke (am I the only guy on these boards? I like seeing red haired women on screen and this one had another adorable one.

Our anoying brit having to live with the consequences of having slept with the interim chief of surgery, the fact that maggie broke up wtih him! ha! I am getting a feel for this like I did for house, it has taken me almost the full seasons to truly warm to (or hate, as appropriate) the characters but I am there now.

Also, Charlie's ex-wife, or Dr Himmler "oh this is what he would want, let's kill him". She is just JEALOUS that our dr reid has what she never did, a truly loving partner (admittedly unconcious but hey, you cannot have everything).

I have to admit Dr bell is written in a VERY unsympathetic fashion, she comes across as a totally unfeeling b word, to be frank.

Now going ot bed early (22:06) as I have much to do as school starts back. If I can collect my thoughts on episodes 6-10 I will post them separately but one closing one. On the time of the actual switch off and end credits I abandoned my plans for the morning and put the nexxt episode on, I had to find out what happened!

I know that was bloody funny when it came up it was sort of like really?

Which annoying Brit.... he is from New Zealand and that is a Kiwi accent.... I know I didn't believe that either... and yeah Joel is annoying at time.... I so love Dana such a great actress.

I think you are the only guy sweetie... you need to recruit more...

If you can advertise it around please do...

PS... in Season 2 there are 18 episodes...

What I love about this show is that every character has their redeeming qualities and high/low points...even Dawn.

So did you move on to 12 yet or is this your latest ep?

Happy viewing!

[phazedout]

I went to bed! you know tired phaze needed to be awake and do grocery shopping and laundry and swedish study and and and.. you know stuff.
yes I watched episode 12 this morning while I had a banananananana.

Reddeming qualities? I have yet to see any in Goran, anyone who cheats on somebody they are in a relationship gets zero forgiveness from me, esp, as we see in this episode, somebody who keeps bloody doing it.

A little off topic but ranty time

If you are with somebody and you are not happy then do the honourable thing and break up with them or seek counselling or just flipping well TALK to them. deciding to randomly bang somebody else is, frankly, an unforgivable offence and makes me almost ashamed to be male.

Ok, done for now.

In series 1, Goran is a bit of a jackass, especially when it comes to woman.

Thing is, I don't think he's ever stopped loving Alex and I think if he is ever going to step up to the plate, its going to be for Alex.

Although he does step up to the plate for someone he's not in love with, but dating in series 2.

Also Charlie left Dawn to be with Alex. We don't know if they slept together whilst Charlie was married or not or how that played out.

Phaze, do you think all humans are monogamous by nature?

[ZionHarris]

Joel is a good doctor and he's learning to be better with his patients. He can also be perfectly nice as a person, but yes, he is a terrible boyfriend. As Priggy said he's still hung up on Alex, but then again he cheated on her when he was with her so I think it's just commitment issues. Whether he'd be faithful if given another chance with Alex who knows.

[ZionHarris]

Oy, I always want to yell at Maggie when she does too much talking to Carol, the superstitious patient. I know she would have found out eventually when the hospital was quarantined, but you can't give patients like that more to worry about.

And thank you Alex for slapping Joel...kissing her in any situation at this time, let alone a quarantine, just wrong.
