Here we go.... the build up to one of the most soul crushing character exits on a television program. The Mark/Susan, Peter/Elizabeth dynamic at the end was a nice touch, rehashing old storylines as characters step-out for emotional support.
Mark Greene is, in my opinion, one of the best written male lead characters in a Drama series. One of the others, Nate Fischer(Peter Krause) from Six Feet Under, both had many parallels. The brain tumor, of course, but beyond that, both were strong, without being overly macho. Both were genuinely good individuals, yet imperfect and often fallible. Also both characters lead their respective series without overwhelming the rest of the cast. Just great, subtly written lead characters.
