9/MARTHA-THE AWESOMENESS

There are always these two episodes of ER that always make me bawl.  And it never matters how many times I see it, I always cry when I watch them.  And I've seen them both at least 3 or 4 times, because ER repeats every weekday on TNT and I watch it.

One of those episodes was on this morning, and without fail, I cried.  Doctor Who, as heartbreaking as two or three of their episodes are, never made me do this, nothing really has.  ER just has this special place in my heart, and even though I am extra sensitive to things on TV and it's not really that hard to make me cry, it's easy to hold in on repeated viewings.  Which is why I mentioned DW, because their episodes "The Parting of the Ways" and even "Doomsday" made me cry on first viewing, but never again except TPotW that one other time.  These episodes on ER call up the waterworks EVERY FUCKING TIME.

More under the cut because I believe someone on my flist probably has no clue about these episodes.  And I don't want to ruin it for her.


Anyone else have that one episode, of anything, that they just can't get over?  Gets you everytime and you just cry and cry?

I...made a fanvideo to Doctor Who.  To the episode "The Parting of the Ways".  I have no idea how I got the idea, but I did and I used a song that I've sort of become obsessed with, Leah Andreone's "Lamentation".  Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead and I'm having trouble with the music portion so I can't post it until next week, or so.  But I made a fanvid.  OMG, how this show eats my brains.

But yeah, I'm getting the whole CD of hers, Alchemy, and it sounds pretty awesome.  Can't wait.

On a completely different note, I was watching ER this morning, and the character Peter gave this awesome little speech.  I can't find any written anywhere, but he just describes how much he loves his son, and pleads that his son not be taken from him and the actor does it in this desparate, heartbreaking way that it just made me want to weep for him.  I did find out that the writer of the episode was John Wells, and he always has the best dialogue.  I love his scripts and episodes.  But yeah, that just really stood out to me.  The episode was "The Peace of Wild Things" if anyone cares, from season 6.

See?  ER used to be this amazing show about these characters that worked in a hospital and you cared about them.  You cared that Peter might not be the biological father of his son, that Lucy died and that Carter was stabbed and when Carol when back to Doug.  *cries*  I miss that!

So, that's it for today.  I'm working on a new batch of icons to be posted soon, if anyone still wants to make a request.

Later!

P.S. This is also a GIP because this is one of my own icons that I just love.  I'm so happy with the cropping and the coloring and everything.  I'm not a person to go all OMG, look at how awesome all my icons are, but there are that few of mine that just make me so happy with how they turn out.
