Reacting to ER 8x15 "It's All In Your Head"
So what are my options? I mean, other than sticking a sh*tgun in my mouth.
My therapist will hear about this episode. This tv show KEEPS stabbing my heart again, again and again, and when I think things will get better, they stab me once more. It's evil, pure evil.
The moment I've read the episode's title I knew my pleas fell on deaf ears, but to see the confirmation just within the first two minutes of it was gutwrenching, honestly.
The news of Mark's cancer coming back shadowed the rest of the events, but there are a couple more things that I really enjoyed:
Kerry's subplot with the child gave me the chills. Outside means outside, she didn't hesitate AT ALL to tell that cop to gtfo of the room seeing that the child was in distress. And the shock and sadness she felt when the child told her she was the one who shot her own father was,,,,, wow.
The Abbbyluka moment in which Luka avoids the traffic ticket was so funny and cute ngl
I genuinely laughed with Jerry and Frank's fights, but felt so bad for Jing-Mei, she got caught in the middle of that fight lmao
AND PETER'S BRIEF RETURN WAS SO GOOD!!!! I loved the conversation Elizabeth and him had, and how supportive he was
Speaking of which, I'm really frustrated and sad about the whole Mark and Elizabeth debacle, I feel like a child of divorce watching the parents separated and arguing, oh my god. But what frustrates me the most is that Mark REFUSES to tell her own wife that the cancer came back, like? My boy, what the hell are you doing. And also I'm really pissed off because the writers didn't really make an effort to reklinde his friendship with Susan practically until this episode in which Susan is the only one to know what's happening and takes care of Mark? I love ER, but the way the writers wrote and developed most of the relationships genuinely pmo and makes me want to bang at their doors to ask them what the hell were they thinking LMAO
Knowing what's coming next I feel NUMB, because I have to come to terms with Mark's impending doom, yet I refuse to accept it, because if he dies, I feel like the series will die with him, if you get me?
You should've been dead a year ago, Mark. You got married, saw your daughter be born. I'd say that was time well-spent.
