I love how in the first few minutes of each episode, we see our victims right before disaster strikes. In those mere moments, we begin to care about them, to care that they will be able to achieve the hopes and dreams that have just been related to us. When whatever accident the follows, we are already invested in the survival of those people, and would be even if they appeared completely unconscious in the OR.
I also love that our doctors come across as real people, very capable and dedicated to the job, but still human. They have yet to go somewhere annoying, such as having personal problems affect them while they are on the job. Even the youngest resident, Dr. Warren (Elisabeth Harnois), although exchanging text messages with a bow all day, did not bring her annoyance at his lack of distraction into her work. Her job got done, and done well, though on her breaks her personal life distracted.
I think my favourite moment of the episode was when Dr. Zambrano (Lana Parrilla) had to cut the bride out of her wedding dress. Despite the necessity of the act, she still showed the right amount of feminine feeling towards such a horrid thing to have to do.
As I have praised before, the medicine was sound and interesting, with proper amount of concern for the victims. And since that is done well, we can have the romantic attachments forming on the side. I am very anxious to find out this week how Dr. Zambrano went from flirting with Dr. Deleo (Mike Vogel) all day and evening to waking up naked in a bed and having Dr. Proctor (Jeremy Northam) walk in with coffee. Very very anxious.
Are you?
