"ER" ... either inject a couple amps of epi, or pull the plug already

It's hard to get excited about the final season of "ER". The marketing department is even spinning it as "a chance to say goodbye to old friends". Are they really going to use that hammer all season long? Sigh. I have to admit that last season was getting pretty tedious. This season portends more of the same. I mean, really, they killed off one of the most likeable characters (Dr. Pratt) right off the bat. And how, exactly, do they plan to pull off a visit from the long-dead Dr. Greene?
