SofaChip’s Advance Review of Nurse Jackie: Tiny Bubbles

On Monday July 13th, 2009 the Nurse Jackie episode Tiny Bubbles will air on Showtime. The show has been renewed for a second season, already. I hope you guys haven’t been missing episodes!

Zoey (Merrit Wever)  is adorable and I love any scene she’s in with O’Hara (Eve Best) or Jackie (Edie Falco).  The last episode of Nurse Jackie had that really cute episode where Zooey and O’Hara went out to eat and I thought they could never top that. But this episode? I swear to you, it does. It kills me with the unbearable cuteness of being.

I really like when they focused on Zoey and the quirky, well-intentioned ways she over analyzes things that are going on at the hospital. She wants to be respected, and liked, and do a good job – and I’m sure I’d feel the same in those nurse shoes. Hopefully I’d be less awkward than her, though.

What’s more, the task in this episode that Zoey has extreme confusion over participating in happens to be one that I would struggle with, too. Life and death are tricky things, or… maybe they’re essentially simple? But I’d bet on tricky.

I think life is tricky. And maybe we should all  just meditate and feel more at peace. Maybe… we should feel this is easy. But then would we ever feel anything? Is there really another way to live? Don’t look at me for these answers. But I’m pretty sure the only ’should’ to listen to is the one that say’s you shouldn’t live your life by ’shoulds’.

For those who find themselves wondering – the song featured at the end of this episode (Tiny Bubbles) is: Patty Griffin – When It Don’t Come Easy

Tonight I cry for the love I’ve lost, and the love I’ve never found.
