Nobody's Baby (#12.2)

[ComedyFan2010 · 8/10 · 3 May 2015]

Ray's story dealing with surrogate baby is pretty good because it triggered different feelings in me supporting different characters. On one hand one feels for the baby whose life is being endangered. At the same time Ray was irritating as there is no way one should force a woman to make a procedure she doesn't want. He was doing it in a very unethical way, even refusing to tell her the side effects. This is not a way to convince somebody and gives one a bad feeling of him caring more about the kid while not caring about thee well being of the woman at all. The outcome though is very sad. Especially since the parents of the baby refuse him. This is really wrong as they seem to see the kid as a product of the business, as if people who carry their own child get to choose if it will have disabilities or not.

Hope to see more about Pratt and his new family. And again, what the hell happened to his foster brother? We never heard about him again.

Good Acting

[Mikenjasmin28 · 22 March 2006]

I was very impressed with Shane West's acting out of the character in this episode!A very emotional and heart breaking story, which makes you treasure what you have in life!A real tear jerker if you ask me! Standing firmly to his believes and trying to bring them across, he not only convinced Me, but i think all the rest of his audience also! Trying to fight for a little life and convincing people to do the right thing is not always easy. It seemed he really put himself into the story, lived it and felt it and made it come to life!I think he gave his best and definitely deserves two thumbs up for his acting in this episode!

Twice the Star Power with Glover and Lifford

[sydneyjayz · 10/10 · 1 May 2023]

The addition of Danny Glover and Tina Lifford in this episode or ER brings together two powerhouse actors. Both were in the Lawrence Kasdan film, "Grand Canyon" released in 1991. An excellent Film done by Kasdan who also was the writer and director of another great film, "The Big Chill." Anything that Danny Glover appears in, be it ER, Brothers and Sisters, his legendary movie series in Lethal Weapon, elevates the performance landscape. This man can act! Tina Lifford is the acting treasure you see in multiple films and TV screens who just doesn't get enough of her due notice.

Lifford was in Nip/Tuck, Scandal, and Queen Sugar, just to name a few, in her long resume list of acting achievements. I am very happy ER showcased these two in this episode especially. ER frequently brings in guest stars to juice the script and they hit paydirt with these one.
