Oh, - you know that part at the accident site where Luka is running really really fast? Well for whatever reason, I forgot that the scene was in this episode and it used to drive me crazy every week when I'd see that shot of him running in the opening credits because I could never remember which episode it was from
LOL I know, I was "Oh! That's the one!" when I saw it this time

it is ridiculous that they sent Elizabeth to the accident scene when she was so heavily pregnant
Right?? So irresponsible

I don't really understand Mark's test either.
Glad to know I'm not the only one

Can I ask - why did everyone always mention Dr. McLucas when inevitably Dr. Coburn was the OB we saw? I know she isn't in this episode, but still. It was always Coburn
Well, because she's probably not the only OB. Unlike Corday who is obviously the only surgeon.

But parking your car on a train track and not comprehending that many other people will be injured/killed as a result? That is... well I don't know what that is.
That's being a jackass

I find this moment with the bishop before the flashback to be so serene. I am not a religious person, but I am fascinated with religion as a general concept. The different customs, the strong beliefs, etc.

And now the flashback. I honestly don't think there is a sadder moment on ER, not when you take yourself out of the show and out of your allegiance to your favourite characters. When you think about a person, A DOCTOR and the fact that they had to sit and watch their ENTIRE family bleed to death while sitting in the middle of a war zone? That is unfathomable and beyond heartbreaking.

The bishop's speech is beautiful and I love how James Cromwell delivers the whole thing. He has such a soothing, but authoritative presence.
All of this I love it when he says "Let me take that burden with me", there's something so beautiful about this moment for me, a person that's ready to die and at peace with that inevitability, but still wants to one last good deed for someone before going. My heart


And I agree about the flashback, saddest moment ever, and I loved/admired/respected Luka so much at that moment. Being able to rise from all that and start his WHOLE life over
