I have watched just about every episode of ER for the last 15 years. It was on my short list of TV programs to be be enjoyed at the end of the day when I no longer want to be informed, enlightened or improved.

If you were expecting the finale to have a big event or a major theme running through it then you would have been disappointed but if you are a true follower you knew that was never what made ER a hit. It ended as it began with the medical staff waiting for the casualties of a disaster in this case a power plant explosion. Before we came to that early morning scene there were stories of the patients interwoven with the life events of familiar characters both past and present.

Anyhing more would have been a different show.
