On the Beach

Started watching reruns. I found myself waiting to turn it on every morning. Then I started binge-watching. I couldn't leave my chair try. I really grew to love Mark Greene, and I really had to take the hit on this episode. I cried for an hour. The music in the background didn't help. A great hour of TV

I remember watching this in 2002 and I didn't start crying until I heard the song Somewhere Over Rainbow. Just watched again in 2021 and I started crying when Mark was singing to his youngest daughter.

It evoked many more emotions now than it did back in 2002. I balled and it actually felt good.

Wonderful episode with fantastic writing and great imagery.

I Haven't watched this series. I don't really like hospital series actually. I just happened to sort of stumble on to it, just saw some fragments of it. This is in actual fact the one episode I have seen. Twice to be precise, I saw part of it a couple of years ago and the series has been been repeated for a while in the Netherlands. For some strange reason I checked the TV-guide and saw the title. That was the reason I taped it,and yes, it was the episode I had partly seen before. I was mightily impressed. Rarely did I see one episode of a TV-series make this much of an impression on me. Kind of helps me prepare for ... well, I don't know... maybe the end of my own days. Maybe some time from now, maybe soon, I don't know. Very good indeed.

Because you're going to need it for all the tears.

What an episode.

I used to watch ER reruns if saw it on while skipping channels, but never followed the seasons. Now I finally had the chance. The character Mark Greene is one of the best if not the best in the entire show and this episode is how a true ending should be. Heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. Be sure to get some tissues before watching because you will definitely need them.

Cried, cried, cried, cried my f-ing eye balls out! I'm still crying writing this. Previous episode was just a trailer of what is coming next. I don't think I cried to anything this much (and I watched the entire series of Six Feet Under-if you know what I mean). The dream sequence at the ends, all the dialogs, everything was just amazing. Just a big WOW!

With the amazing writing by John Wells this has been an historic episode of ER. If I write more, I will cry more. I was like "enough!!!". If a show makes you this much sentimental, it worths something. One thing I didn't like! Where the f-ck was Julianna Margulies and George Clooney?! This is their (at least Doug's) best friend for Christ's sake! It just gets me furious! Okay, I'm crying again, now thinking of the funeral. Goodbye, Mark Greene, you will be missed! :( My point is I wish I could give it more than 10/10.
