What WERE they thinking?!?

A have a *very* limited number of TV shows that I try to (or MAKE SURE to) always watch: House, Bones, Paranormal State, Intervention, and ER.



And the ER Season Premiere was on tonight.



Ummm, can I just say WHAT THE FUCK?!?



I was nearly in tears at MANY points in this episode, as it SO should have been the FINALE and not the premiere for this, the VERY last season.



(Spoilers below!!!)



They killed Pratt. Pratt, who has been CRUCIAL to the series for SUCH a long time now. Who has built SUCH a character. Who had an ENGAGEMENT RING in his pocket the day he DIED. What. the. hell. people.



So, I'm left wondering, did something happen with contracts during the season break? Is THIS why Pratt's death was left as the season opener? Or are they planning on making every. single. episode. emotionally trying as a closer to the show's long run??



Honestly, on top of being rather saddened at the loss of Pratt's character... I was also pissed. I mean, who DOES that?



Speaking of which... hello House fans? Anyone ELSE just a bit perturbed about Wilson leaving on the FIRST episode of the season?! Just sayin. I really wasn't expecting the REASON he left to be the actual REASON - OUCH.



As it stands, I now have a STRONGER desire to reassure myself to pay attention to ER this year. I'm seriously left wondering WHAT they can do next. Hmph.
