Kathryn VanArendonkHOST
And that doesn't mean as much now, but in 2004, 2005, that meant that something terrible had gone awry in the, in the production and release of a television show.

Um, this stars Ioan Gruffudd, Nestor Carbonell, Violett Davis, Eriq La Salle, Kristen Lehman, and Hector Elizondo, who also gets the, "And Hector Elizondo," in the opening credits.

Good for him.

Uh, blessed with Oscar winners and nominees, George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Angela Bassett, and Ernest Borgnine, here paying tribute to the beloved writer Paul Manning and, of course, Rooney Mara in a few years, plus a lineup of Emmy winners and nominees, Clooney, Bassett, and Borgnine again, Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle, Eriq La Salle, Christian Clemenson, and Wells himself, the episode left me happy and wide-eyed for the whole time.
LaurenHOST
Doug and Carol finally returned, just as both actors had wished, on the condition that it be important to the plot and show the characters evolved in their careers, and as expected, they fit perfectly into the Seattle scenes, which even included a reference to Mark's generosity, something Doug couldn't have known about because he wasn't on the funeral, yada, yada, yada, but John Wells did, since he wrote and directed both this episode and On the Beach.
