Callie went to pick up Geroge for their date, and he said he couldn't go b/c Izzie had something she needed him for. Callie said he never puts her first, so she broke up with him. She went to the bar for a drink, McSteamy showed up, they flirted and she invited him back to her hotel room.

Izzie and George were at home and Denny's dad had given her the code to check their home answering machine to listen to the message Denny left his parents after the heart transplant. While she listened (it was about her and how he loved her and wanted his parents to meet her and "everything is gonna change", Geroge opened the envelope Denny's dad had given her and it was a check to her for $8.7 million! :eek:

Um, what else...Christina came home to Burke cooking chicken for her instead of performing surgery on it. As she walked into the other room she looked a little concerned/sad/not sure what exactly.

Hmm, I think that was it...Jump in anyone if I forgot anything.

Just that McSteamy was at the bar because Addison had told him that he needed to know that if he stayed, he would be "just a co-worker".

I like Finn, I feel bad for Finn, and I think Mer should've picked Finn.

They had said, in the last season, that after Derek left for Seattle, they actually lived together for a while. So it wasn't like they had a one night stand, but a full, living together relationship and he still doesn't know that.

So this episode was o.k. It had some funny moments but for the most part, emo Izzy is annoying. McSteamy is still hot but he's still a prick. I can't believe that Addison slept with him again. And EWW! Sleeping with Callie is just wrong.

OrchidAlum

10-20-2006, 10:14 AM

McSteamy may be steamy, but he's also dirty. Sleeping with Callie and then going back to Addison? (which is why she left him in the first place).

I'm so glad that Izzie is coming back to the hospital. :)

Also, I can't stand the way Callie is treating George. I think she's totally overreacting.... Especially when he was so sweet and brought her fried chicken and movies! But maybe she was just feeling guilty about McSteamy.

I think Chandra Wilson gave the best performance of the episode. I love how Bailey has become a much more human/relatable character. The talk she gave to the new mom with breast cancer was incredible.

I wasn't sure, but I'd seen interviews and thought it was a possibility.

Heard this morning that the fight between Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsy on set was because Isaiah said a slur - saying something to "George" (can't remember his real name?) like "I'm not your faggot". So Patrick shoved him or whatever. Hmm, makes Burke not so hot now...:(

The show was ok. I was fine with McDreamy not saying much to Mer about the Finn breakup b/c he was clearly upset with the new from Addison - and rightly so! But I'm not so fine with the preview for next week showing him with another woman in the trailer!!!!!!! :eek:

This story has been out for a few days now. And the latest rumor is that they are looking to replace Isaiah Washington because of it. If he did in fact say that about TR Knight that's just not cool.

Isiah Washington might be axed...

Isaiah Washington's tenure in the hospital may be over!

Producers of ABC's #1 show, Grey's Anatomy, are looking to replace the fictional doctor, reports In Touch Weekly.

The cast and crew of the show have been in an uproar after the actor violently threatened co-star Patrick "Dr. McDreamy" Dempsey and made homophobic slurs against gay castmate T.R. Knight last week.

Since the incident, In Touch reports that Grey's Anatomy execs have met with three possible replacements: Fast Lane's Bill Bellamy, Soul Food star Boris Kodjoe and former E.R. star Eriq LaSalle.

"Grey's Anatomy is bigger than just one actor," an insider tells the magazine. "It's about the ensemble and Isaiah threatens that chemistry."

The National Enquirer, who broke the brawl story last week, backs up In Touch's reporting.

"The melee has set off World War III on the show and may cost Isaiah his job," an insider tells The Enquirer. "The cast is divided over the shameful event."

I agree... Bill Bellamy fits more goofy, playful character roles, Dr. Burke is far too serious. I can't see Bill Bellamy in that role.

Boris Kodjoe on the otherhand, would be delicious as Dr. Burke...

I'll believe it when I see it. I detest Eriq LaSalle -- and haven't you done the arrogant black doctor thing enough already? -- but I could actually see Bill Bellamy in the role. He's nowhere near as good an actor as Isaiah Washington, (not even in the same zip code), but it would be good to see him do something a little bit different.

Boris Kodjoe, as pretty as he is, bores me to tears. I'd rather watch paste dry.

And where are all these "stories" coming from? The National Enquirer? No offense to anyone that posted these stories, but I think that these might be slight exaggerations to explain why Isaiah Washington might leave the show. And who knows how long until this will happen, don't they usually tape several episodes before the season starts?

Sadly enough, the National Enquirer is one of the most accurate of all the celebrity weeklies when it comes to these stories. They employ quite a few more fact-checkers and lawyers than the other magazines to ensure this. If you haven't read Dish (http://www.amazon.com/Dish-Inside-Story-World-Gossip/dp/0380978210/sr=1-1/qid=1161615323/ref=sr_1_1/102-3211833-9603348?ie=UTF8&s=books) yet, it explains a lot about that.

Regardless of the off-camera drama, I LOVE how this show has worked in so many ethnicities into the cast, and they don't make a huge deal about it. Like, the relationship between Burke & Yang's relationship. It's not about "OMG-AfAm-dates-Asian!" but it's about the Boss dating the Intern.

Callie's character is not "openly hispanic" (meaning, she's not like "Ay Papi Chulo!" as other shows tend to show Latino characters).

And what I like best is that the three most powerful characters in the show are African-American - Burke, Webber and (my FAVORITE) Bailey. (Chandra Wilson will get an Emmy someday for her role!)

Though I really think the storylines are cheesy (including the sleeping around with co-workers), I have to credit the writers & probably the creator of the show for a series that reflects all kinds of Americans respectfully.

Oh yeah, I also watch GA because it's set in Seattle. :)

Does anyone else have problems with watching just the end of an episode on the abc website? I get that if you click on the last section, it makes you watch a commercial first, but I can then usually only watch a minute before it freezes...I even tried Ugly Betty, and that was doing the same thing too..maybe its just my computer? But its weird that its only the end of the show!

I haven't watched ER since the late 90's but was Eriq LaSalle's character on that show a cardiologist? It would be interesting if Grey's Anatomy took his Peter Benton character and used it in their show. I doubt NBC would allow it, though.

If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Benton was an ER surgeon and Dr. Ross was the pediatric specialist.

Everytime they had to cut somebody open they always said "Page Benton!"

Yeah you have to have a strong internet connection to watch the episodes on abc.com. Since I just use whatever wireless signal is available in my building at the time (horrible, I know...I am an internet theif) it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Luckily I've been able to watch all the episodes I've missed so far.

And seriously why did Meredith wait to tell McDreamy about breaking up with Finn? I mean if it had been me, I would have rushed to tell him, but that's probably just b/c I think McDreamy is the hottest thing ever. ;)

Also, I find myself hating Addison less and less each week, which I hope continues. :)

Sistermadly

10-24-2006, 09:24 PM

Is there some sort of affirmative action on the Grey's set?

You're kidding me, right? You're aware that you're watching a show where the Executive Producer/Head Writer is a black woman, and where more women and minorities make up the writing team than any other "mainstream" show in television history, aren't you? They've written for "white" characters before Shonda Rhimes (http://imdb.com/name/nm0722274/) (the aforementioned Exec. Producer) wrote the screenplay for Princess Diaries 2 -- but sometimes it's nice to look for the best actor for the job. It may surprise you that in the case of Grey's Anatomy, the most experienced actors on the show (who have won the most professional accolades) are all the minority characters (Chandra Wilson's won Tony Awards, Sandra Oh's won an Oscar, Sara Ramirez has won a Tony Award, Isaiah Washington has won Theatre Guild awards, and an NAACP Image Award).

So even if Shonda Rhimes wasn't a 'sista' - I'm just glad to see people of color playing fully-textured complicated characters who aren't just "the authority figure with no back story", "the funny (insert color here) comic relief", or the "black/latino gangbanger/prostitute". That's why I watch Grey's Anatomy - to see actors of color on a well-written, fabulously popular television show. If they killed of Meredeath/McDumbass tomorrow, I'd still watch the show.

I want to revisit the Bill Bellamy angle and hereby throw my support behind him as the next addition to the cast. Why Bill Bellamy? Because I've been watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip since September, and every time I see DL Hughley on the show, I'm impressed by his dynamic range. Yeah, I know they're different people, but lots of comedians have made the transition to drama - just think about Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or The Truman Show, or Robin Williams in One Hour Photo or Good Will Hunting.

All I am saying... is give Bill Bellamy a chance. :)

(And I still lub Isaiah Washington. I just hope the brother gets whatever help he needs if these reports turn out to be true.)

I think it's McDreamy's sister right? Didn't someone say that above? So he didn't sleep with her..haha.

On RR/WW Duel they had a skating challenge but it was like full contact skating. The guys were pretty brutal and Brad ended up beating CT in the finals and winning a BMW motorcycle. THe girls were boring except that Aneesa became a crazy skater, she looked like a hockey player, trying to knock everyone off the track (which was the point of the challenge). She knocked paula into the railing pretty hard at one point. So Jodi won the challenge. Paula was picked last and she picked Aneesa to go to the duel. They has some weird duel where they basically both tried to hold onto a pole. The person to let go of the pole loses. Paula held on for dear life and for a good amount of time as Aneesa (who probably outweighs paula 3:1) swung her around on the ground. Eventually Paula let go and she got the boot off the show. Derek was saying that Svetlana should be scared because everyone is gunning for her now. It wasn't too drama unfortunately. And back to our regularly scheduled discussion of GA... :)

Izzy just plain annoys me.
I like how George compared Callie to a pig. I about died laughing there b/c that's a sure fire way to get a woman pissed off.
McSteamy is a jackass but damn he's HOT! As for McBitchy (McDreamy's sister) she talks too much & I like how she let it spill that everyone sleeps w/him.

I actually think that Burke won't operate on George's dad and that his shaky hand will come out at that point. Especially since Burke seems to have a soft spot for George.

The baby thing was SO sad. I can't imagine having the job of telling someone that they have to deliver their baby at that point. Horrible.

I'm happy she didn't go with McSteamy too. I think it would have been too much of a drama inducing plot line to do that.

I am more convinced after this episode that Addison is either pregnant, had a pregnancy that miscarried or had an abortion .. possibly around the time that she and Mark split, or around the time that she cheated on Derek. Her reactions to women losing babies is way strong for OB/Gyn surgeon.

I'm thinking Isiah Washington made his crack about the Joe/Walter relationship.

PsychTau2

11-11-2006, 10:59 PM

Was there a mistake in the show? I thought Baily named her son "William". But, in this week's episode, she called her son "Tucker" before she started singing to him over the phone. "Tucker" is her husband's name. Or am I mistaken?

Christina is the one I'm hating. She can act like she went to the chief because she couldn't handle the guilt, but the reality is, she went to the chief because she couldn't handle that BURKE DID FINE WITHOUT HER HELP. What a witch. She wasn't "needed" anymore and so she blows the whistle. I'm so pissed at her. And yes, I know, it's just a TV show, but she ticked me off.

/\ WHAT SHE SAID

My sister was saying that she felt bad for Christina and I was "like" what - she didn't "turn in" Burke because she felt bad for what she had done - she turned him in because he seemed better and didn't need her any more - she also knew that he was going to talk to the chief anyway so - no it wasn't an "upstanding moral decision" for her to go to the chief it was a CYA thing - and I though it was just me who saw that.

LOVE THE SHOW THOUGH and oh yea spare me the George stuff - what a whiny little man he is - I know his dad is sick and all but being RUDE (I MEAN EXTREMELY RUDE) is such a waist of time and I am tired of this story line.

BetteDavisEyes

11-26-2006, 04:13 PM

That's what makes the show so good. The writers made Christina a self-absorbed power hungry bitch & she remains that way no matter what. I am still hoping that Dr. Bailey goes back to being the Nazi. I liked her better when she was bossy, mean, & merciless.
Still, I did love that side of her when she sang to her little boy over the phone. It was very sweet and touching.

Now see, I didn't see her going to the chief b/c of CYA or because she felt she wasn't needed, I thought she went b/c she was pissed off at him for basically blaming her for the whole thing. The "you dragged me across the line" b/s Burke was running - please, you are the older, experienced surgeon, you should have never agreed to the assistance in the first place.

I agree. She was working her tail off trying to cover his a$$ and he acted like she was doing this all by herself. Christina has seemed very stressed out during this whole time. The "old" Christina would have been lording it over the other interns.

True. I was annoyed with Burke for blaming Christina for dragging him across the line. I actually feel like that's a bigger problem in the relationship than her goign to the Chief about it. Pointing fingers rarely gets you anywhere in a relationship.

The show is starting to bother me. Every week it gets more far fetched and angry. I don't really want realism, but the whole joined twin thing was a little weird.

I know that this is kinda weird, but Meredith's hair really bothers me. I just want to pull those bangs/wings back.

When do new interns come in? They tried to introduce McSteamy to the cast, but I'm not a fan of him. He needs to get killed off for being slimy and sexist.

Last night was okay! I feel asleep for the last 15 mins -- what happened??Ummm...what was the last thing you saw?

Pretty much at the very end Meredith went back to her mom and she was still very upset about Richard leaving her. Meredith stood up, hugged her, and her mom snapped back to reality. Before that, the lady who married her dad was like, "You can come in and see the baby" and Meredith was all, "You're not my family." Then, in another scene, the lady was like, "We could be your family" and Meredith just walked away.

In the locker room Meredith yelled at Alex, Izzie and George telling them that Christina stood up for them (she did Denny's ecko when Izzie cut the Elvad wire, and something about Alex and something about George), why couldn't they cut her some slack? Izzie and Alex were like, you're right, but George was like, "She was still calling me 007." (I don't remember everybody calling him 007???) and walked out in a huff.

The Chief talked to Bailey and told her about how the interns had grown, trying to cheer her up b/c she felt like everything going bad was her fault.

Oh, and Burke and McDreamy were going up the elevator so McDreamy could look at Burke's hand, and Christina and Meredith passed by, and Christina got on the elevator w/ Burke.

I agree that there is a little spark of the show that seems to be missing, but I still enjoy watching...last night when Ellis was telling Meredith that she should've never had a kid, then Richard wouldn't have left her, I felt so horrible for her! Granted, its TV, but I can't imagine someone having to hear something like that :(

I really think that the Meredith/McDreamy drama is what's missing. But if they had kept that going for too long it would have gotten SUPER old. I think the show is still really good. It's interesting that George and Burke are now bugging the CRAP out of me though...I used to like both of them.

In the very first episode, when George was assisting on an appendectomy, he made a mistake and lost a patient. Everyone started calling him 007 after that for "licensce to kill."

I remember the 007 thing a little, but not what it was all about. He choked during surgery or something maybe?

I still dig the show, but agree the Meredith/McDreamy thing - which was driving so many people crazy - is what's missing. I think they are trying to re-create it with Callie/George, but it's not working.

Also, Dr. Montgomery - she's an OB. OBs don't do the surgery on the newborns. The Neo-natal specialists so it. Plus, what OB is contantly at a hospital? It's kinda dumb.

The one thing i rely mianly on from this show is i got my eyeful of hot male candy from McDreamy and McSteamy and that maybe they can become friends again.

When Sonda gave birth to her twins on the Cosby Show, Cliff Huxtable, probably the most famous OB, wasn't even allowed in the delivery room. ;)

Same with my parents, my mom is family practice, but I don't go to see her b/c while it's not technically "against" any rules, it would look weird for her to be writing all of my 10 million different prescriptions. And with my dad, if I ever have any skin issues that require the attention of a dermatologist, I have to go see his partner, not him.

I am chalking the "Grey Blahs" to - hopefully, they are trying to set up some new story lines - and they might take a little bit more of a "set up."

I do love this show but I am sick of George being this "bitchy" little man that can't seem to get control of his emotions - I mean spare me with his RUDE and uncalled for behavior with Callie and his brothers. I know it is part of a "tv show" but I am tired of that part.

Its all ok any way because my Thursday night TV line up is Survivor @ 7 - Grey's @ 8 - then ER @ 9 so really I will still watch Grey's Anatomy unless something "better" goes up against it on Thursday night.

What did everyone think of tonight's episode? From the previews I was really expecting to see a kiss between Alex and Addison, so now I feel kinda jipped. I was also expecting George's father to die in the episode. I wonder what's going to happen to Izzie now because it's pretty obvious that she's going to offer to pay for the girl's surgery, although I never liked her character too much.

AGDee

01-12-2007, 05:52 AM

My kids kept talking during it.. grrrr. I'll have to watch it again tonight to get the details again. However.. yes, it appears that Izzie will be in trouble for paying for this kid's surgery. Perhaps she should set up a foundation for people who need unusual surgeries that insurance won't pay for OR for the uninsured. Of course, then she wouldn't get in trouble and there wouldn't be a story line...

deadbear80

01-12-2007, 11:25 AM

So my best friend and I are dorks and cry at the drop of a hat...and seeing George's father when he was cut open made us bust out the Kleenex. Usually, when a Grey's ep starts to get sad, it just gets sadder...this week wasn't as bad.
Next week however--best friend and I both agreed that it was a 2 Kleenex box week (one for each of us!).
I wished Addison and Karev had kissed too. But it's nice to see them together--I think they're a better match than Karev and Izzie. And hopefully we can *finally* figure out what happened with Addison and McSteamy and Addison and babies. It's been pretty obvious she had some 'baby issue' in her past; hopefully next week will clear that up!

xo_kathy

01-12-2007, 01:53 PM

Well, the obvious answer to me is that she got preggers with McSteamy's kid and had an abortion without telling him. Then somehow he found out - maybe she came clean. But maybe that's just what they are leading us to believe.

I actually hate Addison and Karev together! She's too bitter for him. And for once it would be nice to have a work couple not get involved there. I wish they would bring in some love interests from the outside world for some of the single folks.

There's so many main characters, even without this controversy, you'd think they'd kill of somebody. Killing him off saves them money and promotes harmony within the cast. From what I've seen, he seems like a real ass. Not to mention that they're getting negative publicity for him..

I don't see how much further his storyline with Christina can go. Killing him off would open a lot of storyline for Christina. This show is about the interns, after all.

Plus he's not any particular variety of McHotty.

I can't ever watch that episode again. It brought back all the stuff from this summer when we thought my mom was going to die and we said our goodbyes. I sobbed like a baby during this episode and I still feel in a funk this morning. That line was exactly how I was feeling then "I don't how to exist in a world where my dad isn't" or however he worded it.. I was crying to hard to hear it. That's exactly how I was feeling about my mom. It all reminded me that I'm still going to have to deal with that in the somewhat near future. These writers are really good.

ETA: Just read the writer's blog on greyswriters.com and see that the storyline with George's dad is exactly what she went through with her dad. THAT explains the realism of it all...

Is this the end of McSteamy? Addison's words to him seemed pretty final. Will he go now?

I feel bad for Addison...she really needs someone to love her back. I used to not like her, but she's grown on me. And hey, anyone who can make Karev seem less cold and barren is good in my book.

The scene at the end with the earplugs and the look on McDreamy's face when he rolled toward Meredith and they linked arms (and bodies) was such a cute 'picture'. My single friends and I (who watch together) all agreed that we want to be that cute at some point with someone :)

I understand if the interns have no life...they're just starting out, so their job is their life, but I don't understand the older doctors having no apparent life outside of work.

I think it's cute how she and McDreamy are together (for now), but it's just boring. Okay, I GET how she snores....and???? I'm liking Addison more and more, as she's softer (you can even tell by her hair color b/c it's not as abrasively red) and I'm eager to see her relationship w/Alex unfold. I could do without Callie or Burke. My favorite character is "Dr. Model"/Izzie. Meredith is always good for quotes, though. I have a bunch of the quotes as my away-messages---yeah, I'm a nerd.

I don't think you can compare ER to Grey's. Except that they both take place in a hospital, their focus is different. What I LOVE about Grey's is that almost every episode has something so shocking or so funny its memorable, and you can't really say that about ER (anymore).

Anyway--I was shocked at Burke's question, I didn't hear most of George's speech. The radio replayed it this morning and it was really sweet.

Yeah, I cried big ugly tears.

I thought about the parallels to ER as well, the free clinic and the deadly diseases. And the whole Dr. Bailey "where oh where am I going to get funding for my free clinic?" nonsense was rediculous. Was there anyone who didn't figure that Izzy was going to give it to Bailey within the first 5 minutes?

I wasn't expecting the Chief's wife to close the door in his face. I mean, granted, I probably would have done the same thing she did, but I wasn't expecting that at all.

01-26-2007, 12:52 PM

The only thing that tugged at my heartstrings was the best friend's "breaking up". I didn't think it was that great an episode.

McSteamy as chief? He's a friggin' plastic surgeon - no way. Plus he's been there, um, 2 days?

And why is Geroge back to work a day after his dad died?

I did like chief's wife saying "tough luck" - though I felt bad for him.

And finally, I didn't even like one of the proposals let alone 2?!? STUPID! I could sort of see Geroge's given his state of mind, but Burke? Come on.

Tippie: Next week Christina is shown doing a lot of mulling over a fabulous looking ring. Then a bunch of the docs were shown in the OR - McDreamy was shown in some sort of Hazmet (sp?) looking suit - and then all the OR docs were passed out on the floor.

This show is treading way too close to the mistakes ER got in the habit of making...where every episode is a "very special" episode. I saw the previews for next week, with all the doctors passed out on the floor, and thought, "Which deadly disease has plagued Maura Tierney, Mekhi Phifer, and Goran Vlasdfzidjfzasdflaknsdf this week?! Oh, wrong show." Jump the shark.

I know what you mean. Did you see the Oprah episode when Isaiah Washington talked about wanting to see his character have a Doctors Without Borders storyline? We've seen that before :rolleyes:.

PeppyGPhiB

01-26-2007, 08:37 PM

ER when it first came out was so fresh and fast-paced. And what so many people loved about it was that it seemed realistic. Then they started to focus on the personal lives of the doctors and coming up with preposterous scenarios. What I guess I haven't liked about Grey's Anatomy is that no ER sees that many freak-o-nature cases on a daily basis. I guess I don't like that every episode has something REALLY. DRAMATIC. I'd kinda like for it to be more realistic, because right now i can't relate to any of the characters. I can relate to certain situations a couple of the characters have been in, but I don't actually care about any of the characters, which is definitely a problem.

Wasn't the Chief retiring a known fact from the show's start? He insinuates it at least, from the first episode when he's telling Burke why he wouldnt be chief anytime soon...

So I can't decide how I felt about last nights episode. Did they explain how the ferryboat caught on fire? I thought they said something about a bomb, but my mom was chatting the entire time so I was having trouble hearing everything. I'm curious to see how they're going to stretch the episode out into 3 parts without it getting really boring. Maybe last nights was kind of boring b/c they're saving the more exciting stuff for later? (Like rescuing Meredith from the water after that dude knocked her in?) I don't know, last nights wasn't terrible but definitely not as exciting as I'd hoped...hopefully next week will be better.

I did laugh my ass off at the cheif's hair though, it looked purple almost! :eek: I liked it much better gray. :)

I think I heard that there was a lot of fog (so the boats couldn't see each other) and a container ship crashed into the ferry and turned it over. I had to rewind that part a few times on my Tivo because the actor said it so quietly that I didn't quite catch it.

They said a container ship clipped the ferry boat while they were crossing paths in a fog bank. In Seattle the cargo and passenger ships travel in and out of the harbor pretty closely to one another, and there's a lot of activity.

I thought the episode was totally boring and reminded me, again, of something ER would've done, oh, four years ago. Anyone remember when the El topped off the tracks and trapped people in that old ER episode?

I hope GA doesn't start doing "special" episodes already.

BGKdLady

My initial guess with the little girl was that she was deaf. There was the time when Meredith was talking to her and she didn't turn around. But then it's just a wild guess...it does seem odd!

I agree with you, they can't be killing Meredith off, right? So the whole story line is a bit strange, but then I was a little bit teary last night!!

xo_kathy

02-16-2007, 10:46 AM

So, it seemed that Meredith sort of knew how to swim. Why did she not swim over to the walkway that McDreamy brought her up from? She's a doctor, does she not have the brains to look around for a way out?

I did love McDreamy's reaction in the hospital - seemed very genuine. I liked the intern's reaction, though would have like to see a bit more from Christina - thought it was an appropriate time to have her human side peek through. However, I could really have done without Izzie's "I Believe I Can Fly" speech...annoying.

And when Meredith started coughing, I was like, "So help me, if this is a dream, I may never watch the show again!!!" Near death experience I can handle, though.

OH! And what the hell was Plastic Surgeon McSteamy doing brain surgery for?!?!?!?!!?

And I don't think they can honestly kill Meredith, I mean the stupid show is named after her. But if she does die, I totally see McDreamy and Addison getting back together while he's mourning Meredith. I thought for two seconds last night that the whole thing was a dream too and I was going to be PISSED. I was excited to see the hottie bomb squad guy and Denny again though. :) I can't wait for this "most exciting television event of the season" to be OVER though, it's definitely pretty dumb.

I'd rather watch Ellis than Meredith. Seriously.

I do think they could rid of Meredith. She doesn't bring anything to the show. Desperate Housewives STARTED with the narrator killing herself in the first episode, and the whole first season and part of the second season revolved around it. But I know that's a little different than having a show with the character's name in the title.

And really, Izzy has to stop telling George he made a mistake marrying Callie. Who would put up with that?!

ZTAMich

02-17-2007, 09:48 AM

I love the post on Grey's Writers (http://www.greyswriters.com/) about the show...especially this part...

The most interesting one to watch this episode is Derek. I don’t know if you remember that in first season, he said to Meredith: “You were like coming up for fresh air. I was drowning and you saved me.” It was good to be able to call that back (everything comes back around eventually on this show, I find) and to see what happens when Meredith is drowning. He’s not Mer’s knight in shining whatever – he gets kicked out the trauma room where Richard and Bailey are working on her. He’s forced to sit out in the hall, helpless. And he’s seeing his worst nightmare come true. Because he’s realizing: Meredith has become so important to him and the prospect of losing her is terrifying. Who is he if he isn’t the guy who rescues Mer? Who is he when he can’t save a life?

Next week should be interesting!

Isn't it too early to be a season finale? I thought the whole point of doing these 3 "clif-hanging" episodes was for Feburary sweeps. But I could be wrong...Meredith can't die, she can't darn it!

deadbear80

02-17-2007, 01:40 PM

The 3 episode arc is part of February Sweeps. It's not the season finale by any means.

After this coming week's episode there will be 1 week of reruns and then new episodes (at least 2) after that.

A normal season of a show is at least 22 episodes...I think only about 14-15 episodes has aired this season and Grey's had well over 22 episodes last season.

And no...no cliff hanger next week. Certain things will be resolved (and certain things won't...but not in a cliff hanger-ish way).

anyone else disappointed that george found the kid? not to sound mean, but i kind of wanted to see them deal with telling that woman that they lied, and he was in the morgue.

I re-watched it this morning and, when it was just him in the ambulance, he was counting while he did CPR 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 (like they train you to do!). When Bailey was there and they were getting Meredith out of the ambulance, he said "She's alive, she IS alive" kind of like if he said it convincingly enough, it would be true.

hmmm.... taking her off Grey's is a risky move.

I'd be fine with taking her off Grey's - I hate her. She's whiney and causes too many problems.

Also, no way in hell I'd watch a show revolving around her.

I like her and I actually feel that way, I mean how would it be different than Grey's? Unless it focuses less on her life as a Dr. and more on her social life and being single in her late 30's.

Okay, so I guessed that they wouldn't kill off Meredith, but I did not see them killing off her mother. Although it does makes sense.

And the bet between McStupid and Addison was funny. I bet he won't last though.

Oh, she is.

But when I see Katherine Heigl, I'm reminded of a story that a friend of mine tells. He was once giving his mother a hard time about an actor that she found particularly attractive. My friend pointed out that he was a pretty lousy actor. "My God," his mother answered, "he breathes. That's enough."

Not that I think that Katherine Heigl is a lousy actress. But all she has to do is show up, as far as I'm concerned.

That's how I feel about McSteamy.

I also like the character of Addison, even when she was keeping Meredith and McDreamy apart. However, I don't think I would want to see a spin-off built around her.

I liked the episode and can't wait to watch it again. I think there will be a lot of critics, but I think it really spoke to character development. Did we know about Christina's dad prior to this? I mean, we knew he was dead, but we did we know the whole story? I liked what "they" told Meredith about Derek and how you SAW that change happen (like.. it would change who he was but then when he found out they were putting her on bypass, he got optimistic again.. you could see it in his face). By the way, I'm thinking Patrick Dempsey is the best actor on this show. When he looks at Meredith, you see love. When he thought she was gone, you saw raw grief. He portrays those things without ever saying a word. His face is so expressive.

And Addison.. she has really accepted everything now, clearly. She knew he had never felt like that about her, accepted it, and seems like she wants him to be happy. That's a tough thing to do. I like her again. I think she will be the one who breaks the pact thing.. with Alex. We'll see though.

Izzie.. she bugs me with the Callie thing. I'm glad George stuck up for Callie.

In what seemed to be a single storyline tonight, (focused all on Meredith), there was really so much going on with the characters. The symbolism. The use of that woman who was on the pole, because Meredith was so upset during that episode. It was the episode where she begged Derek to choose her and then lost it in the OR when they had to let that woman go and she couldn't understand how they could pick one of them to live and one to die. She had related to that woman on a different level so to bring her back in that situation was brilliant, I think.

I really love this show.

Mer knew that her mom had died.. will Derek ever ask how she knew? Will Mer tell Izzie that it really IS Denny that's she feeling? Will she talk to anybody about any of the experience?

Yeah, my head is spinning after that episode.
