I was multitasking so not paying scene-by-scene attention, but basically the plot of last nightโs ER was: Dr. Weaver met her birth mother, who was a perfectly nice woman, except for the fact sheโs a Christian. The mother is an evangelical Christian who basically said โnevermindโ when she found out the girl she gave up at 15 is gay. ER can typically draw you in (though to be honest, Iโve never been a regular viewer, just occasional), but this seemed more must-shove-an-agenda-down-your-throat than must-see-TV. Wouldnโt it have been much more dramatic to have them work through itโbuild a relationship despite their very different roads in life? Oh well.
