• "Brilliant Minds", 24 Nov, "The Fire Fighter". Slight spoiler

    This is actuallY the first episode I've watched as all
    the other times I just flipped through.

    The actor Eric Danes (he was the Captain in "The Last Ship" and
    moved up the ranks...) has a very real life battle with
    Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, aka ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's
    disease, which he went public with earlier this year and
    has been devastating him.

    In this show's episode, he guest stars as a patient with,
    yes, ALS. Oh, and he's an FDNY firefighter so all the
    members of his station house and lots of others are involved.

    All I'll say is it is very well done and I only wish it
    wasn't realistic.

    Well worth pulling up even (like me..) you haven't been
    watching the show
