Chicago Med: 6 Things Learned About Season Two

On Tuesday, Dick Wolf and the cast of Chicago Med were at the Television Critics Association press tour for the new season. We get some juicy new details for season two.

"Going into season two is because we actually have the tools in our bag and we don't have to learn all of these things from a cold start," said star Colin Donnell telling reporters. "But we're only improving, I think, as we continue to live in the characters' skin more. Our writers are creating better and better story arcs for us. Everything has forward motion, which is awesome."

With that here are six more teases of what to expect this season:

Dr. Reese is still out at the hospital

After rejecting her pathology match in favor to work in the ER so she can interact more with patients, Dr. Reese (Rachel DiPillo) was basically unemployed at the end of the first season.
"When we see her at the beginning of this season, she's working as a barista," said Wolf. "But she ends up coming back...She won't stay a barista."

Dr. Rhodes's New Mentor

After not only watching his mentor die, but traveling to a tropical island to spread his ashes, Dr. Rhodes (Donnell) has now switched to cardiothoracic surgery going into season two.

"Dr. Rhodes has chosen a different path in the hospital and he actuall has a new mentor," said Donnell.

Here comes Vinyl and Elementary star Ato Essandoh, who plays an African-American Jewish doctor and Dr. Rhodes' new boss.

"He fits right in with out quirky little family," Donnell said of the new member.

A (Short?) Truce with Dr. Halstead

Dr. Rhodes and Dr. Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss) "actually pick up in a good spot this season - I think Halstead and Rhodes are in a good place where they are colleagues," said Donnell. "We've put some things behind us. I'm sure the relationship will grow and fall apart and grow and fall apart....It wouldn't be fun if we're weren't butting heads a little bit."

New Chief Resident

Dr. Choi (Brian Tee) gets a promotion at the beginning of the second season.

"He feels like he knows how to run a good ship," said Tee, referencing his character's experience in the U.S. Navy. "Within an ER department or within the hospital, it really is the nurses that run the ship. There's a lot of conflicting ideas."

Just because he's been bumped up doesn't mean the end of his season one issues, his struggle with his PTSD from his service days. Which also means more of the bird that helped Dr. Choi deal with it at the end of season one.

"The bird is still around," Tee said. "Stealing scenes left and right."

April's Health

When we last left at the end of season one, April (Yaya DaCosta) was diagnosed with tuberculosis.

"She's not contagious at this point, so the antibiotics she's on is not only curing her, but making it that it stays dormant so that she can continue to work," said DaCosta.

So what could this mean for April's love life, mainly after her boyfriend proposed?

"It's definitely been a huge distancing for her and her boyfriend. He keeps trying but she's definitely keeping her distance because she is paranoid," said DaCosta. For six weeks, she hasn't really that much and he's having a hard time with that."

Four Show Crossover:

A four show crossover was originally planned for Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Med and Law & Order SVU for February. But because of the complicated logistics, it was scrapped for two show crossover between SVU and PD. Although Chicago Justice does not launch until midseason and Wolf has his eye on a four show, Chicago universe crossover.

"It's very complicated to figure out," Wolf said. "It's a question ov how intensely would a crossover story impact on all four shows. It may not be as totally integrated as the SVU crossover was last year. It's a little premature, but I think there will definitely be a four-way sometime in the spring."

As for integrations between the four Chicago series, where one character from Fire could appear on PD, or a doctor might visit Justice, Wolf said that the possibilities are endless.

"I think the integrations can be as seamless as they've been for three or four years now."

Ghostbusters

The Ghostbusters is finally released in theaters and believe me it wasn't a disappointment at all.

When Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wigg) is up for an Academic tenure at Columbia, she gets blindsided by a book that she and her best friend Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) written about the ghost and paranormal world. When she heads over to ask Yates to take the book down and meets with her colleague Dr. Jillian Holtzmann. They get an invite to investigate a haunting at a historical mansion,
and there they meet, record their encounter of a ghost and Gilbert getting slime.

When the video of their encounter hits the web, Gilbert is fired from the University, along with Yates and Holtzmann from their college too. There they formed their own department to continue their research, they take the place above a Chinese restaurant, there they hired a dumb-witted receptionist Kevin Beckham (Chris Hemsworth) and meet Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) as she came to report on ghost that she encountered in the subway tunnel.

The four takes a look and asked an artist if he'd seen any ghost and he responded with painting a ghost that would later be used for their symbol for their business. As the team goes into the tunnel, Yates' ghost meter runs high and finds a burned up equipment. There a ghost appears and Holtzmann sets up the proton laser and has Gilbert test it. With a few missteps, they caught it and tried to bring it back to before the train comes around but was too late.

Unknown of his doing, Roman North (Neil Casey) has come up with a device to bring the paranormal world into the real world. He leaves one at the subway tunnel, the other one at a live concert there the Ghostbusters get there and captures their first ghost.

But when Dr. Martin Heiss (Bill Murray) debunks that ghost aren't real, he makes a visit to the Ghostbusters and ask to see it. Making fun of Gilbert and their work, she releases the ghost and the ghost flies out taking Heiss and dropping him out the window. There the team gets summoned to the Mayor's office where they were asked to stop their work.

When the team gets back to their headquarters, Gilbert has the idea of what Roman is doing from the places that he placed those devices that they're on a ley line that intersects with a hotel at Time Square. The team races there, trying to talk Roman down. He shocks himself to death and dies, leaving the team to stop the massive device. But it turns out that they were blamed for the whole thing and the Mayor forces them to stop.

Erin is placed what seems to be a hotel, relaxing while she picks up their book that Roman was using that inspired him to bring the ghost. She looks through the pages until she see drawings, drawings of his plans that even killing himself was one. Erin phones the other girls but no luck.

Abby is at headquarters by herself, when she hears a knock. She starts to get scared and run in the bathroom. The ghost of Roman comes through the sink and into Abby. Abby comes out and acts normal towards Holtz and Patty until she starts destroying the proton packs.  She than takes Holtz by the neck and takes her over the window. Patty saves Holtz while Abby trying to knock them both out. Patty pulls Holt out and smacks the hell out of Patty making Roman leave and smacking her again in an hilarious way.

Roman still stuck around the place, he dives into Kevin and uses his body to complete the mission. Erin runs to warn the Mayor about what's coming. Trying unsuccessfully, she's thrown out and tries to warn everyone, which for her is a bit too late as Roman's machine had turned on.

In the fashion, Abby, Patty and Holtz heads out to take out the ghost. There they meet with Slimer, who's eating hot dogs, takes the Ecto-1 and drives off. The girls are on foot and battles Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons that included the Stay Puff Marshmallow man flatting them, until Erin comes popping him. The four reunite to take on Roman who has a hold on the National Guard and police let alone the CIA agents.

Roman unleashes his ghosts to the Ghostbusters and the scenes of them taking on the ghost was unbelievable. Even the music played perfectly to the action scenes too. The after the Ghostbusters took down the ghost, they went after Roman. Roman than changed formed into something nice and cute like the ghost buster logo, Formed into a giant ghost, the girls took him out by using the Ecto-1 nuclear cells in the car to shut down the portal.

As the portal was closing Roman grabs Abby and takes her with him. Erin goes after her and binges down getting her and the both comes out with white hair. The Ghostbusters are the heroes of New York City and even the Mayor won't acknowledge them stills congrats them. And the city shows their love with signs saying NYC Hearts GB.

I'll say this that I wasn't one of the many morons who thought that this film was going to be bad. I thought it was a smart move and the best at that. I love the film. It was really, really, good. I thought it was funnier, scarier and believable than the first one. I really thought that this film had a lot to breathe . I didn't think that it was slow at all.

The acting was amazing and played to the actor's strengthens. Especially Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, who steal the movie. I love McKinnon's character as she's quirky and funny. And the cameos in the film was awesome!! The original Ghostbusters cast with Bill Murray as a man who doesn't believe in ghost, to Anne Potts as a receptionist at a hotel. Dan Aykrord  as a cabbie who isn't afraid of the ghost. And not to mention, Al Roker, the #1 Ghostbusters' fan in the world had a great cameo. But the one person who stole the scene was Steve Higgins as the Dean of the Higgins College where Abby and Holtzmann run their project. I didn't know how many ways you can give the middle finger until I saw this film.

I know there has been a lot of negative talk about it that it's a reboot and it's gonna destroy the original franchise. It's really not. We need to move on like we have with Spiderman, Star Trek and others that have been rebooted many times. I understand I'm a huge fan of the original Ghostbusters films but it's time to move on and it's that time. There's a new chapter to the Ghostbusters and it's a hit!! Best summer movie so far (until Jason Borune comes out).

Overall, I give this film 5 out of 5 stars.

Ghostbusters is in theaters now!!
