ER - Rachel Greene first day & last scene of ER_Part 2

[@SeraphusInferis]

"Dr. Greene; ya coming?" The mirroring of this final episode with the very first episode is utterly brilliant. Even in my life... I watched the very first episode with my parents, while my brothers slept... and watched the final episode with my wife, while my children slept.

[@danthechauffeur1323]

That last scene showing that the ER was just a tiny portion of a huge hospital is stunning. So many lives, so many stories captured in that tiny smidget of space is breathtaking and profound at the same time. Years later ER is still one of the best TV dramas in history. So many of the actors and actresses went on to do great things. Worthy of binge watching over and over. Always something new to catch. It will remain timeless.

At the beginning doctor Greene was teaching Carter. Years and years and more years later the student had become the doctor, and the teacher was blessed to be in Gods presence.

[@cards0486]

@@warnold909 Rachel went to college and did her PreMed at DUKE where Elizabeth was...something in the medical school. But County General has their own medical school program. At least for 3rd year, that’s when Carter came in the pilot episode. Remember Dr.Banfield was interviewing prospective students to be selected for the program. She told John Carter just because Rachel’s father worked there in the ER (RAN the ER) didn’t mean she would automatically get in. But we all know she would. There would be a Dr. Greene in the ER again. I don’t recall anything about Rachel in New York. The last time we saw her was Mark’s funeral, she was a teenager. I think Jennifer was in St. Louis when Rachel was a wild uncontrollable teenager and almost killed Ella with Ecstasy. She ran away from her mom. I guess she went back, because Mark took her to Hawaii because he knew the time was limited and he had a responsibility to her. He and Elizabeth weren’t together then. But remember she came with Ella, and they were all together at the end..

When you think about it, Dr Greene was the first and last word of the series. Remember in the pilot when lydia is waking mark up?

[@MrHans818]

Show has been gone for years now, but it is still the greatest drama of all time. I watch the reruns whenever I can. I think the reason the show was so great was much of it made you feel like you were right there. Laughing and crying, births, deaths. ER had it all. I know many people thought ER died with mark Greens death. I for one did not. There a reason ER lasted for 15 seasons, it was the very best in television. Actually they could had kept going with Rachel Green and her future as an ER doctor. Of course if you remember your history Micheal Crichton passed away shortly before the final was complete. I know there were a couple of producers of ER but Michael Crichton was ER.

[@rrm5607]

That's exactly how I felt.It wasn't just a show, it made me feel I was right there and a part of it.

When the first ER came out in 1994....I had a VHS vcr...and yeah, I started recording the seasons. By the end in 2009, I had a ReplayTV DVR, and I probably replayed this scene at least 50 times. Everytime ER is on, I have to watch for a little bit. Cool series and actors! Wicked cool writers/producers/directors!

Mark Greene was so present for me in that last scene that I could almost see him. Go get em, Rachel. All the feels.

[@michelleabad295]

Omg...I'm crying right now. ER was one of the best shows ever on tv. I stopped watching it when all the original cast had pretty much left. I never saw the last season but this clip made me smile, cry & wish I had watched it. I love that they had Rachel Greene decide to intern there. When I saw Carter standing there with what looked like the same basketball I had this vision of him leaving for the day turning around to toss the ball to Rachel and saying "Greene...you set the tone." For those who don't recall those were the words Mark Greene said to Carter on what I believe was the end of a very tough first day for him. Had he done that I don't think my heart would have survived. 😢💔

Everyone keeps talking about how the series started and ended with "Dr. Greene". What was cool is earlier in this same 2-hour episode they actually reproduced that first scene except with Dr. Morris; sleeping in a dark room. Camera shot of his feet, then getting woken up by a nurse......the SAME nurse. Lydia! One of many Easter eggs for the loyal fans that had been with the show since day one ( in an unrelated note I just re-watched the first episode again and was happy to notice that desk clerk Frank was actually in that first episode! He was still a cop and had been shot in the leg. It was mostly a funny scene where Carter was trying to learn how to administer an IV. I think it's cool that 6 years later they brought him back as a regular character)
