Jeez

And to think LSU swept Milwaukee back in February including winning 2 of the 3 games by the 10 run mercy rule.

What could have been this season... :dope:

re: Iran decided to launch missiles while 47 contemplates extending cease fire. No joke.

IMO, it has more to do with the splintered factions of Iran's "government."

The Republican Guard thinks its in charge, the parliament and various civilian government officials think they are in charge and, of course, the Ayatollah of Rockin Rolla and his religious minions think they're in charge, and never the twain shall meet and agree.

Very misleading title. It's a tentative 60 day ceasefire not a "deal" to end the standoff war.

Michael Crichton was one of the GOATs

Agreed.

Crichton graduated with an M.D. from Harvard Medical School in 1969 although he never practiced medicine. Instead he used his extensive knowledge of biology and anatomy to write numerous fiction and science fiction novels.

In addition to producing ER he also wrote:

The Andromeda Strain (1969),

The Terminal Man (1972),

The Great Train Robbery (1975),

Eaters of the Dead (1976),

Congo (1980),

Sphere (1987),

Jurassic Park (1990),

Rising Sun (1992),

Disclosure (1994),

The Lost World (1995),

Airframe (1996),

Timeline (1999),

Prey (2002),

State of Fear (2004),

Next (2006),

Pirate Latitudes (2009),

Dragon Teeth (2017).

I read a few months ago his wife & heirs are suing the producers of The Pitt for plagiarizing his work in creating ER.

Binge watching old TV series ER

Posted by LSURussian on 5/26/26 at 2:28 pm

Since The Pitt is on hiatus we decided to watch some episodes of the 1990s series ER on HBO Max. Neither of us watched ER when it was on its run the first time around.

All I can say is WOW!

Great writing with multiple plot twists along with some actors who went on to major stardom: George Clooney, Anthony Edwards, Noah Wiley, Julianna Margulies, Laura Innes, John Stamos, William H. Macy & Maura Tierney.

I highly recommend watching it especially if you've never seen it.
