nightdog_barks | Tonight's Episode (Reply)

From the Wikipedia page on Janet Parker:

Ms Parker was admitted to East Birmingham (now Heartlands) Hospital on August 24 and diagnosed (by Professor Alasdair Geddes and Dr. Thomas Henry Flewett) as being infected with Variola major, the most lethal strain of smallpox. The next day, smallpox virus was confirmed by electron microscopy on fluid from her rash.

So. There are no electron microscopes in all of Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital? If they suspected it was smallpox from the very beginning, why not test the fluid?

Okay. Liked the episode overall, but by god I am convinced someone has instructed Hugh Laurie to deliver his lines in a slower, softer voice -- I really do think he sounds different this season.

Was very glad that whoever wrote this script penned in an explanation for Wilson's absence, so no one can say he must have known and should have been there.

I like Cuddy, but I'm sorry, I'm just not that interested in Huddy. There, I said it. *g*

Loved Wilson's smile when Sam convinced the little girl to face the chemo without her security blanket, although I have to say I'm sorry I was spoiled for "Lamby" because I kept picturing that incredibly scatological monologue with the one-eyed Lambchop. Those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, go here. WARNING: NOT WORK SAFE IN THE LEAST, but that's RSL's voice. Heh.

What else? Thought MM (Amber Tamblyn's character) crept close to Mary Sue-dom again.

I'm sure there's more but I have to help make dinner now.
