Quietly brilliant

I thought it was quietly brilliant, I agree with some of the other comments, the message at the end was life will go on but the camera's not watching anymore....which is a huge shame, because I think ER was one of the best series ever, and the writing second to none for a TV show. The show boasted believable, flawed characters, compelling story lines and exciting camera work. What I loved about ER was that, despite the big, dramatic events that happened from time to time, often there were very real, quiet, human, affecting moments. I'm going to have to buy all the series on DVD because television is not going to be the same without ER. Congratulations on all that worked on ER for a quite brilliant achievement. The show deserves a place in TV history.
