First, let me say I absolutely loved the series Dr. Quinn - Medicine Woman. My husband and 2 young sons would never miss an episode on Saturday night. So when I saw this on GMC the other night I decided to watch.
So imagine my disappointment at this movie that seemed to be made in about 2 weeks time. Dr. Mike, Sully, Brian and Katie visit Michaela's family in Boston. I'm not sure what the time frame of this movie was supposed to be, but since 2 doctors from Europe traveled to Boston to perform surgery on Michaela's mother, you would assume it was months? However, the same pile of snow that was there in the first scene in Boston was still there at the end of the show.
It was supposed to be around late Feb. or March when they arrived because they discussed the centennial in July which "was 4 months away".
Now back in 1876, I don't know of any ship that could get from Paris to Boston in under a week but the season remained winter despite their long, long visit.
The storyline was contrived, Sully had a ridiculous wig on and Brian's make-up was oh so obvious. Some of the scenes were just thrown in for some reason like the orphanage scene, the scene where Sully, in his mountain man clothes goes into some men's club and throws his hatchet.
WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD
Michaela's mother was supposed to be healthy enough for a new pioneering heart surgery but died the same day the Paris doctors arrived to perform this new surgery. Michaela is the one who discovered her dead despite her being a rich patient who supposedly was getting good care.
I don't know why this movie was made. Perhaps to appease the people who loved the series and couldn't understand why CBS canceled it. They did a grave disservice to fans.
Don't bother, just watch the reruns, you'll be happy you did.
