Grey's Anatomy

[SATX*APhi]

Tonight's a repeat. Noooo!

[Virtual Violet]

I like her and her character Izzie, but I have just two words for her on this ....DAVID CARUSO.!!...Oh wait...maybe four more words...SUZANNE SOMERS, VALARIE HARPER!

She needs to quit tripping, lay low and take the money.

See the story below

http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=dfe9d9c6-e386-4dbb-8b0f-435227acf149


PS: I also think she's miffed about the potential spin off featuring Addison....especially since the "Denny" storyline was such a big hit last season!

[LaneSig]

Izzie + sleeping with George = Jumped the Shark:(

[lyrelyre]

Izzie + sleeping with George = Jumped the Shark:(

I am really, really hoping that they did not sleep together. Maybe somehow they ended up drunk in the same bed.

[DolphinChicaDDD]

I was not feelin last night's episode at all. Can't place my finger on it, but over all, I just thought it was....blah.

[ZTAngel]

Why are they always sleeping with or dating people from the hospital? Can't any of them have relationships outside of Seattle Grace???

[OtterXO]

I liked last night's episode actually. I mean, it's not like the Meredith/McDreamy relationship could be the focal point of the show forever, so I'm glad there's new drama.

[lyrica9]

I am really, really hoping that they did not sleep together. Maybe somehow they ended up drunk in the same bed.

i really liked the face she made when she looked under the covers.

[Virtual Violet]

Izzie + sleeping with George = Jumped the Shark:(

Callie: "Paging Dr. Mc Steamy, Paging Dr. McSteamy?" She already hit is once....why not again?!;)

[KDAngel]

I'm really starting to like Callie. That is to say, she's really grown on me.

[LeslieAGD]

I did like the Meredith stuff with her family, and Alex with the pregnant patient, but other than that this week's episode was blah.

I'm kinda hoping that Alex's Jane Doe turns out to be beautiful and her baby daddy doesn't show up...then she and Alex start dating. It would be so cute, because he was actually nice to her even when her face was indistinguishable and finally someone would be dating a person outside the hospital staff.

[kdonline]

Why are they always sleeping with or dating people from the hospital? Can't any of them have relationships outside of Seattle Grace???

That's what I'm sayin'!

It's not like Seattle = some small little town!

[1908Revelations]

I am really, really hoping that they did not sleep together. Maybe somehow they ended up drunk in the same bed.


I am hoping they didn't do anything either...but what are the odds....Izie didn't have on a shirt, I saw no bra straps and she looked under the covers as if she didn't have on anything.

[OtterXO]

Unless she's a naked sleeper. Although them doing it would be funny, I have to admit. (I don't particularly enjoy Callie)

[oceanphi01]

I don't know...I wasn't feeling the episode too much. It was good...it just seems to have lost some of the luster of earlier episodes. (Although I did yell at the TV when Derrick was a jerk to Meredith). Can we please see an episode about something other than people sleeping around? Something with more substance...please...I really want to see Christina go off on English dude.

Anyway...there's my two cents on the episode. Flame away. :)

[PeppyGPhiB]

I'm totally over Izzie now. I don't care if she leaves the show. She's totally annoying. Tonight, when she just blurted out, "I had sex last night." to Addison, what was that about?! They've made her character completely neurotic now, and I can't stand it.

Hmph.

I've got an idea: let's play connect the dots with the Seattle Grace staff. Here's what I can remember:

Burke: Christina
Christina: the new surgeon guy, Burke
The Chief: Ellis Grey
Meredith: Derek, George
George: the nurse that gave him syphilis, Meredith, Callie
Callie: George, Sloane (McSteamy)
Sloane: Callie, Addison
Addison: Sloane, Derek, and ALMOST Alex...I still think that one's gonna come back
Alex: He and Izzie TRIED several times...has he slept with anyone on the staff?

Am I forgetting anyone?

[amycat412]

Alex: He and Izzie TRIED several times...has he slept with anyone on the staff?

Am I forgetting anyone?

Didnt Alex and syphillis nurse have sex?

And I agree Izzie and George sex along with Izzie hung up on George now = jumped the shark

[deadbear80]

Yeah, Alex and syphillis nurse had sex. She was one of the reasons Alex and Izzie had a bunch of fights, because Izzie thought she was the only one Alex was sleeping with.

[xo_kathy]

OK, Izzie + George maybe jumping the shark...

Izzie + George = pregnancy - REALLY jumping the shark. I'm calling it and you heard it here first! :p Though I really hope i"m wrong.

And who didn't see McSteamy's "Right now" plan after he talked to Bailey? I think the problem is that the show is getting too predictable.

[kdonline]

Kinda off-topic, but related: I went on a Seattle harbor cruise today & we went by the ferry dock where the "crash" occurred. :)

[SapphireSphinx9]

Kinda off-topic, but related: I went on a Seattle harbor cruise today & we went by the ferry dock where the "crash" occurred. :)

That musta been kinda eerie.

[PeppyGPhiB]

LOL thousands of people use those ferry docks daily. The show usually does a good job of getting the details about Seattle right, except during the ferry episodes, George made a comment about Meredith being "on the ocean floor" which was an error. The ferries run across Puget Sound, not the ocean. Seattle is a couple hours away from the ocean!

[KDAngel]

I'm kinda hoping that Alex's Jane Doe turns out to be beautiful and her baby daddy doesn't show up...then she and Alex start dating. It would be so cute, because he was actually nice to her even when her face was indistinguishable and finally someone would be dating a person outside the hospital staff.
I love the actress who's playing the Jane Doe. I can't think of her name right now, but she's great. I loved her in TNT's Saved this past year. :)

OK, I just looked her up, it's Elizabeth Reaser. I don't know how many more episodes she gets beyond the next one...

[OrchidAlum]

She's going to be in 9 episodes in total... So, I think she has 4 more to go.

[ZTABullwinkle]

Does anyone else remember Izzie mentioning her daughter before tonight's episode? I think I do, but am not sure.

I still *heart* Bailey. She was great in tonight's episode.

[AXi1257]

I also loved tonight's episode... my husband kept trying to talk to me about my day at work and I had to keep telling him to shut up until a commercial :D

[1908Revelations]

I missed GA......................:mad::mad::mad::mad: :(

[cuteASAbug]

Does anyone else remember Izzie mentioning her daughter before tonight's episode? I think I do, but am not sure.

I still *heart* Bailey. She was great in tonight's episode.
She only mentioned her daughter once in an episode in season two. A 15 year old girl from her former trailer park came into the hospital with pregnancy complications and Izzie tried to convince her to put the baby up for adoption by showing her a picture of her own daughter.

[DolphinChicaDDD]

Anyone else think Callie is preggers?

[Still BLUTANG]

^^^^^^
i hope not. i think she's just "sick" over the relationship.

[Cardinal026]

The season keeps getting more "blah" for me. On commercial breaks, I was watching "Notes from the Underbelly" on abc.com, and I ended up not paying attention to GA...weird, its been my favorite show for two seasons. I really hope it picks up.

[ziasha07]

George did what he had to do and he was a great friend but I think he is too close to Izzie and is spending too much time with her. They can't just continue to skip over the fact that they had sex. It's going to blow up in their faces. Callie is gonna be pissed.

I agree, Bailey was AWESOME.

I wonder what "McDreamy" is going to do. It seems to me that he is seriously considering just giving up Meredith.

Very proud of Christina!

"McSteamy" and the Chief? Wingman? What in the world. That is hilarious and I feel it won't end well.

Alex and Eva... or Shannon. Were those people just perpetrating a fraud? If so that is extremely effed up. Why would you do that to someone? There's no justification. People suck.

[Cardinal026]

So now we see what Addison's spin off is going to be...do you think this is the last of her we'll see at Seattle Grace? Her separate plot line was good, but I definitely miss the first two season's of GA. I am interested to see the plot w/ Jane Doe next week though..

[cuteASAbug]

I'm really confused. I thought tonight was going to be the season finale.

[PsychTau2]

There's 2 more episodes of GA this season. The Addison parts of this episode is the pilot episode of Addison's spinoff, which is probably going to be called "Private Practice"...if they go through with it. I guess they're going to see how ratings are after tonight.

I have to admit, I do like the plot of the new show so far. It's got enough people that are all tangled up to keep it interesting for at least a year. However, I hope they don't start mirroring GA with some of their plot lines. It would be nice to have a different spin on things.

[PM_Mama00]

I'm really confused. I thought tonight was going to be the season finale.

Me too. I was a little disappointed.

[Tippiechick]

I have to admit that I LOVED Addison's spinoff. I found myself more interested in it than the actual GA plots tonight.

The spinoff is kinda more upbeat and quirky. I loved the chemistry on it.

GA can be so "dark and twisty" sometimes. It was good to have a contrast.

I must say I cannot wait to hopefully watch the spinoff.

[AGDee]

I would have liked it better if they had separated the two and had the Grey's show and then Addison's show. I had a hard time keeping characters straight on Addison's show because it kept flipping back and forth and I had to keep switching gears mentally. I think that decreased my pleasure in both...

Same here. I was bored and started dozing off on the couch.

Do you all remember when Grey's Anatomy use to be good? Yeah, I miss those days. :(

[Xylochick216]

I think that was one of the worst episodes of Grey's I've seen. They should have made Addison's story a separate hour. It was too much going back and forth, and I really missed the usual characters.

I'm not sure how I feel about the Addison spinoff. I don't know if she's strong enough to hold her own show. She's a great accessory character to Grey's, but I found myself annoyed by her last night. I feel like Addison was really out of character last night. I'm not used to seeing her around friends and emotional.

[xo_kathy]

Could Addison have pouted her lips any more last night?!?! It was so annoying. And the spinoff - the rest of the actors/characters are far better than Addison - the show could happen without her.

I also found it annoying switching back and forth and there must have been twice the commercials.

And can I say how annoying it is that every relationship that *just* got solidified is now suddenly being questioned: Mer & Der, Christina & Burke, George & Callie. It's ok to do it to one of them, but to have them all having issues at the same time is dumb.

I was trying to not jump on the "Grey's is getting bad" bandwagon, but I think I might have to...:(

[Unregistered-]

I'll probably watch Addison's spinoff, but I agree -- they should have done last night's episode separately. I know I was totally excited last week when they said 2 Hour Grey's...only to be disappointed last night.

When they brought out the characters at the Wellness Center, I couldn't help but laugh because could they have anymore actors from shows that didn't get picked up/got cancelled? Tim Daly (The Nine), Taye Diggs (what was his Deja Vu-like show called again), Chris Lowell (Lip locking Piz on Veronica Mars).

I thought the elevator voice lady was kinda funny.

Love Tim Daley. McPokey can prick prick me anytime.

[AGDee]

From things I've read about who is leaving after this season, I'm not sure Grey's will be able to sustain. It's almost like they've had to change gears mid-stream to explain why people are gone even though that wasn't the original plan for some of the characters. I'm sad about that.

I half want to go search for it and half just want to wait and find out...


Also, I enjoyed Addison's spinoff, for what it was anyway, but I hated watching it in between Grey's. I mean I get that in doing it that way they had a captive audience to try to suck in, but I really just wanted to see what was going on with everyone at Seattle Grace, not down in Cali. Oh well.

And the Christina and Burke issues are just ticking me off. Grey's needs to stop this crap asap!

[xo_kathy]

And here's a random question - Why in the heck would Callie be a friggin bridesmaid?!?! She wouldn't be! I know it's not central to the plot or anything, but it relly bugged me...

[BetteDavisEyes]

And here's a random question - Why in the heck would Callie be a friggin bridesmaid?!?! She wouldn't be! I know it's not central to the plot or anything, but it relly bugged me...


Probably b/c Christina doesn't really care about the whole wedding thing and other than Izzie & Meredith, Callie is the only other woman she has around.

[OtterXO]

And here's a random question - Why in the heck would Callie be a friggin bridesmaid?!?! She wouldn't be! I know it's not central to the plot or anything, but it relly bugged me...

I was under the impression that the moms (Burke's and Christina's) were forcing her to pick friends who would be bridesmaids. Instead of saying "I have 2 friends and everyone else thinks i'm a crazy workaholic overachiever" she asked Callie to make it look like she had a few friends who could be bridesmaids.

[xo_kathy]

OK, but still, Callie? I'd see syphalis (sp?) nurse over her. Or she has to have a cousin or something somewhere.

[lyrelyre]

She did give Christina her note cards. That probably endears her to Christina more than anything else could.

[LeslieAGD]

Christina and Callie have had a few episodes lately where they have talked and then one of them says "you know this doesn't make us friends, right?"

[adpiucf]

I was so disappointed in Grey's this week! I love this show, and it is one of the few tv shows I actually plan my evening around! I turned it off after 30 minutes-- totally agree-- 2 hours and sneaking a pilot for the spin-off in was overkill! Bad Shonda!

[PeppyGPhiB]

Yeah if the rumors I hear about how the season ends is true, I think GA will be toast. It involves two main characters leaving, not including Addison.

[AGDee]

Both of their publicists are denying it though. I've read a few different rumors since I originally read some stuff from the National Enquirer that our newspaper picked up on and reported.

ETA: Shonda's blog says we have to trust her and take the leap with her. I hope the leap isn't over the shark...

[xo_kathy]

She did give Christina her note cards. That probably endears her to Christina more than anything else could.

LOL! Excellent point!

[Jill1228]

I just finished watching it...

OH SHIT!

[BetteDavisEyes]

I just finished watching it...

OH SHIT!


WHAT?!? I can't watch it tonight! Boo! I won't be able to watch it until Saturday. PM me with spoilers. PLEASE!

[1908Revelations]

George and Izzie should just DIE!

[KDAngel]

George and Izzie should just DIE!
No, no, no. I like them. Stupid McDreamy is making me mad though with that whole "I met someone last night" crap.

And someone please message me who's supposedly leaving. I hate that I'm asking, but now I just want to know! :)

[nikki1920]

I am interested in seeing if the Wedding actually happens.

I am so not liking McDreamy right now.

I thought the spinoff had promise, but I hated how they kept going back and forth.

OH ISHT @ Adele being pregnant!!!

BOOOO HISS @ Thatcher.

[jess_pom]

Tonight was probably one of the best episodes this season. I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out next fall.

[SoEnchanting]

Wow tonight was a GREAT episode!

So... (apologizing if this has been explained somewhere in the previous 55 pages of this thread)... Is this the last season or something? What happens now that there are new interns? And what about George?!

[christiangirl]

I think I just died a little on the inside. And so did Christina.

[oceanphi01]

Okay, so I really didn't see Burke backing out...I thought it would be Christina.

Yeah, and the new interns...weird.

Now I just have to bide my time until next season. :(

[cuteASAbug]

Okay, so I really didn't see Burke backing out...I thought it would be Christina.

Yeah, and the new interns...weird.

Now I just have to bide my time until next season. :(
My guess is that Isaiah Washington got fired over the whole "faggot" debacle and this was the writers' way of writing him out of the show.

[AGDee]

That's what the spoilers have been saying.

The whole Mer/Der thing makes me mad. I don't like who they are becoming. Derek was finally the McDreamy we know and love with his speech to Meredith and then SHE blows it. They need to get it together.

[ZTABullwinkle]

WOW! That was the best episode of the year. I can't believe that we have to wait another four months to see how it all pans out.

I looked for spoilers, but couldn't find any about who was leaving. My guess is that it was either TR Knight or Isiah Washington. I wonder what George is going to do since he failed his intern exams.


Who was it who said that the bar chick was Meredith's half-sister? It was the same person, right?

[ErinIsBadNews]

Who was it who said that the bar chick was Meredith's half-sister? It was the same person, right?

and the new intern right???? :confused:

i hated tonight's episode! i wanted to hit someone in the face. ok, the episode would have been great if I didn't have to wait a couple months for the next episode. :(

[PeppyGPhiB]

Spoilers: (highlight to read)

Everything I heard a few weeks ago regarding who was leaving and how they were being written out is true so far. Rumor was that George was leaving because he failed the final exam (the actor was tired of the drama behind the scenes and wanted to leave the show), and that Burke was leaving town after christina leaves him at the alter.

So, if the rumors continue to be true, those two characters are gone. I'm not sure what they will do with Callie if that is the case, with she and George now trying to have a baby.

RIP Grey's Anatomy

[ZTABullwinkle]

I read on tvguide.com (Michael Ausiello's column) that TR Knight will be returning to Season 4 of Grey's Anatomy. I haven't been able to find any confirmation of Isiah Washington leaving though....

Also, there is a new blog posted on Greyswriters.com from Shonda. Interesting reading!

[PM_Mama00]

Can someone PM me a recap? I could only watch till 930ish when Christina was laying in bed staring at the dress and then Burke's mom with the "what are you going to do with those eyebrows" thing.

[nikki1920]

www.greyswriters.com

For Shonda's blog on the episode and the season overall.
I hope Burke is not leaving...

Lexi Grey/chick at the bar = Meredith's half sister.

(Remember when we first met Susan, her stepmom, when the other sister was giving birth to her baby? She mentioned that she had two daughters, the other one was in MEDICAL SCHOOL)

[DolphinChicaDDD]

Am I the only one who is tired of Izzy falling in love with every guy that comes along? Really starting to dislike her now...

[cuteASAbug]

Am I the only one who is tired of Izzy falling in love with every guy that comes along? Really starting to dislike her now...
No. I've always hated her and was secretly hoping she'd fail her intern exams so she could get kicked out of the program.

[xo_kathy]

I think I just died a little on the inside. And so did Christina.

Hmm, I don't think Christina was dying. I think she was crying tears of relief that she didn't know were inside her - or that she was at least really trying to supress. She even said, "I'm free".

I agree that it was a pretty good episode, though. I'll be glad if Burke is gone - I'm not a fan of his anyway.

I loved how Derrek acted and wanted to slap Meredith.

Callie got Chief Resident? Come on, no WAY they would give it to her over Bailey. That was just dumb. I heard that Callie isn't signed on for next year, so I'm saying with George's failing and her wanting a baby, they decide to move somewhere else and "start over" - then Bailey will get the Chief Resident position.

And Alex picking Ava? Sweet and all, but could they please make that actress a little cuter? I know that's really shallow of me, but I think she's really unattractive and funky looking and I can't stand her mouth when she talks.

[ErinIsBadNews]

Am I the only one who is tired of Izzy falling in love with every guy that comes along? Really starting to dislike her now...

I think she needs intensive therapy. lol. ;)

Maybe group therapy would be best.

[AUDeltaGam]

Hmm, I don't think Christina was dying. I think she was crying tears of relief that she didn't know were inside her - or that she was at least really trying to supress. She even said, "I'm free".


I interpreted her "I'm free" as "I'm free, like I had wanted. Oh wait, I'm not sure I want to be free anymore :("

Just my opinion:)

[xo_kathy]

Yep, could be that, too!

I just thought since she got out of the dress and all, she was realizing she was wanting to be out of it all along. I guess we'll see next season! :)

[Glitter650]

I interpreted her "I'm free" as "I'm free, like I had wanted. Oh wait, I'm not sure I want to be free anymore :("

Just my opinion:)

That's the feeling I got too... like... I'm free WOOHOO... "OH SHYTE... that means... FREE... like ALONE...I'm not sure I actually wanted to be with him..."


I HATED this episode... not ONE thing came out good IMO. I mean I didn't expect a pretty little bow wrapping everything up... but seriously EVERYTHING is crap.... no wedding, meredith F$%^&'s up and Derek doesn't want to wait anymore... George fails his exam, I mean the ONLY good thing that happened was the Cheif and his wife having the beginnings of reconcilliation. The whole thing just made me sad. At least give us some hope.

[xo_kathy]

Sorry for the double post, but just saw this from the write on greyswriters.com

"Cristina turns to Meredith and says “He’s gone. I’m free. Damn it.” And it’s so nuanced and so layered and so tragic because she’s relieved and terrified and heartbroken and suffocated all at once. Watching her journey back from this is going to be amazing next season."

So we are both 'right' ;)

[BetteDavisEyes]

I've got a dumb question here. Around what age are all the new interns? I'm figuring that after 4 years of college and 4 years of med school, the interns are ranging from 26-28 years old. Does that sound about right?

[christiangirl]

^^Hmm, maybe 25-30 to include more people, but yeah, about right. I'm betting a minimal number of people make it out of college and med school in the minimum amount of years.

That's what I thought. I mean, I know everyone likes their freedom and I could see Christina as the type of person who would feel strangled in a relationship, but who likes being dumped on their wedding day? Realizing that she's now alone all over again after having finally gotten used to companionship has got to be beyond hard. :(

[KDAngel]

"Cristina turns to Meredith and says “He’s gone. I’m free. Damn it.” And it’s so nuanced and so layered and so tragic because she’s relieved and terrified and heartbroken and suffocated all at once. Watching her journey back from this is going to be amazing next season."
I love how they explained that. It's point on. I definitely have learned to like Christina more and more this season. :)

[OneBadZeta02]

Okay I need some help here...I only catch a few episodes here and there so I never really know what's going on...so are the new interns going to take the place of all of the "older" ones? Will they be permanent fixtures on the show?

[christiangirl]

Your guess is as good as ours. Since one of the interns is supposedly Meredith's half-sister, then it's possible. But they're not going to replace the entire original cast--that's too much plot development down the drain.

[BetteDavisEyes]

O.K. This has been bugging me today. So we know Meredith's mom cheated on Thatcher, he finally left her, and moved on with his life. Supposedly, according to Susan in one episode a long time ago, it took him a long time to move on and rebuild his life after the devastation of his marriage with Ellis Grey. She was a little girl (don't remember what age) when he finally left.

What bugs me is this. IF it supposedly took so long for him to move on & rebuild his life, why is his daughter in the Intern program right behind Meredith. Wouldn't that make her a year or two younger than Meredith?

Either the writers really screwed up with this detail, Meredith is a lot older than she looks, or her half-sister is a genius and is really young.

Can someone please enlighten me and correct me if my assumptions are totally off? I'm confused. :confused:

ETA: Thatcher has other daughters as well. Has it been said if they are younger or older than Lexie?

Well, in real life Ellen Pompeo is 37 and Chyler Leigh (Lexi) is 27, so I think they at least tried to find someone is definitely younger looking than Meredith.

[christiangirl]

Hmmm....I think Meredith is supposed to be older than "fresh out of med school." Maybe she's like 29/30 and Lexie is 25-ish? That makes (a little) more sense.

[cuteASAbug]

Didn't Meredith take time off af after med school to take care of her mother before going into Seattle Grace? They never mentioned it exactly on the show, but that was the impression I got.

[guardedbystars]

ETA: Thatcher has other daughters as well. Has it been said if they are younger or older than Lexie?


I'm pretty sure there was a younger sister (younger than Lexi) -- she was the one that was pregnant that went to Seattle Grace because she needed Addison's help. Meredith didn't even know she had a sister until then.

[Xylochick216]

I thought it was a horrible finale. Nothing was resolved. There's really no hook that makes you desperate for it to come back. A bad ending to a bad season.

[AGDee]

Co-workers and I were trying to figure this out and perhaps it's just not a realistically accurate situation. Generally, after med school, everybody has to do internships/residencies which involve rotations among all the areas. THEN you do things like just surgery, just OB/Gyn, just dermatology, psychiatry, whatever... So, seeing as they are specializing as surgeons, they should have had some other stuff in already and, therefore, can be doctors already (general practitioners, etc). However, the interns/residents/docs on Grey's don't seem to be set up that way. It's definitely vague how old any of them are.

In the same way, I agree that Thatcher's daughters are too close to Meredith's age. Also, wouldn't someone somewhere along the way clue Meredith in? Susan, before she died, would've said something about Lexie being in the program next year. Or the Chief would have said something. SOMEBODY would have said something. And, the other daughter just had a baby, so she is a bit older too.

Grey's definitely has some consistency errors that way. It seemed unrealistic that all this stuff that happened over the last 3 seasons was in only one calendar year. It seems like it should have taken a lot longer given everything that occurred.

I had no idea that Ellen Pompei was 37. Never would've guessed it.

So, seeing as they are specializing as surgeons, they should have had some other stuff in already and, therefore, can be doctors already (general practitioners, etc). However, the interns/residents/docs on Grey's don't seem to be set up that way. It's definitely vague how old any of them are.

In the same way, I agree that Thatcher's daughters are too close to Meredith's age. Also, wouldn't someone somewhere along the way clue Meredith in? Susan, before she died, would've said something about Lexie being in the program next year. Or the Chief would have said something. SOMEBODY would have said something. And, the other daughter just had a baby, so she is a bit older too.

Grey's definitely has some consistency errors that way. It seemed unrealistic that all this stuff that happened over the last 3 seasons was in only one calendar year. It seems like it should have taken a lot longer given everything that occurred.

I had no idea that Ellen Pompei was 37. Never would've guessed it.



IDK...could be totally wrong, as I've never even considered Med school, but I wouldn't think the cheif has that much direct insight into the applications process for the intern program. Seems like someone else would cordinate all that. I'd think he would have too much to do to worry about with other cheifly duties to be the one looking over apps for the interns every year ?
Surely SOMEONE knew... but that person taking the time to tell Meredith ? IDK... I'd think it more likeley woudl've come from Susan than from someone at the hospital.

I don't know if anyone else has said it yet or not, but I really don't want to see Callie in charge next season... blah. I mean, she's grown on me, but no way do I want her to be the boss.

I agree. I actually liked her a lot more at the beginning of this season, but she started to annoy me with the whole 'let's have a baby and it will fix everything!' mentality in the past few episodes.

[PeppyGPhiB]

I agree. I actually liked her a lot more at the beginning of this season, but she started to annoy me with the whole 'let's have a baby and it will fix everything!' mentality in the past few episodes.

But I think the only reason she started with the baby business recently is because Izzie has been hovering so much. She feels threatened by Izzie, as I think most women would with the way she's acting. Izzie is miserable and selfish and needs to learn when to stop.

At least we know that Katherine Heigl (http://www.eonline.com/news/article/index.jsp?uuid=54b71a11-ae87-4fed-b511-ce4020c776e1) is coming back because the price was right. I knew the George love triangle had to be resolved somehow.

I don't think I've ever seen so much drama off-screen like this. Crazy.

[yangstar]

Great drama on-screen is only fueled by off-screen drama. Props to Shonda Rhimes to incorporate all the little nuances from the actual cast into the script.

Callie is Chief Resident because Bailey is Chief of Surgery.

I'll put money on it.

Since Burke is off the show, George will be back. I'm not sure how, but he'll be back. I figured that either Burke or George would go because of the tension, but not both.

How can Bailey be Chief of Surgery when she's jsut a resident, not an attending?

[PsychTau2]

How can Bailey be Chief of Surgery when she's jsut a resident, not an attending?

Cause I can't figure out who's left to be chief!!!

Honestly, though...didn't she and the chief talk about her chances when everyone was gearing up for the job, and he talked about her talents being used elsewhere...like Chief Resident? Sounds like if she's so awesome, she may have gotten it...which is why she was sitting outside looking dazed when George came by to talk to her.

But then again, maybe I'm just hoping and wishing....

I'm betting George will repeat his internship. This way he'll be spending time with all the interns and they'll be worked into stories.

I thought the Cheif decided to come back. There was that whole discussion between he and McDreamy (who he was going to give the job to if I recall) with McDreamy telling the Chief he needs to stay on and do things differently...or somehting like that.

Also, I think Bailey was looking dazed b/c she didn't get Chief Resident - she thought it was a given.

[KDAngel]

While I don't wacth the show, I always thought Katherine Heigl was attractive since the days of Roswell. :cool:
I've loved her since My Father the Hero, which was my favourite movie for ages when I was younger. That's pretty much the beginning of her career too... I used to wonder what happened to her and when she popped back on the map for Roswell I was so happy. :D

[Thetagirl218]

I was very disappointed that Bailey did not get Chief Resident. I was so made because that conversation she had with the chief, he basically told her who are we fooling Bailey, this search is stupid because you will be Chief someday and if you weren't a resident right now you would be a shoe-in. Did anyone else miss this the point of this conversation with her not becoming Chief Resident. Bailey and Christina are my favorite characters!!! Though I have thought Katherine Heigl was a great acteress since her days on TV movies such as Love Comes Softly...

[minDyG]

I haven't read every post regarding speculations for next season, but my prediction is that Izzie is going to be pregnant. With George's baby. (Obviously.) Wouldn't that suck? Poor George...

[Thetagirl218]

Poor George? He is in love with Izzie!!!!!!! I don't think it would suck! It would mean we could finally get rid of Callie...

[minDyG]

Poor George? He is in love with Izzie!!!!!!! I don't think it would suck! It would mean we could finally get rid of Callie...
I don't think he's in love with Izzie. Nothing on the show has ever lead us to believe he has actual feelings for Izzie. He is just so confused by everything. Remember in season one when he went out on a date with Olivia, and he was calling her his girlfriend? It's obvious he places a lot of emotional attachment on sex...so the fact that he had sex with Izzie messed with his head. But he obviously loves his wife (which is important to remember - they are MARRIED after all, it's not like she's just his obnoxious girlfriend...it's not that easy to get rid of her) and he wants to have a family with her. I totally respect that.

Sorry. I'm kind of a Grey's connoisseur and I take it to a different level.

[PeppyGPhiB]

I like Callie. I don't get why so many people don't like her. Has she done anything wrong?

[Xylochick216]

I thought Callie was obnoxious and brash when she was first introduced, but she has really grown on me this season. It's torturing me watching her because she KNOWS something is up.

[Thetagirl218]

But he obviously loves his wife (which is important to remember - they are MARRIED after all, it's not like she's just his obnoxious girlfriend...it's not that easy to get rid of her) and he wants to have a family with her. I totally respect that.


Just a note, in real life I WOULD never tell someone to ditch their wife because they had an affair with another woman...but this is Grey's.....I have just never like Callie! As for the love thing didn't George say in one of the last episodes something like "do you think it is possible to love two women in your life?" or something like that? Thats what i keep thinking of.

[xo_kathy]

Izzie + George = pregnancy - REALLY jumping the shark. I'm calling it and you heard it here first! :p Though I really hope i"m wrong.

[KDAngel]

I wish someone would've made a thread with a new season # instead of repeat of this exact thread. It's easier for me to keep up with what I've read that way, instead of sorting through pages. Oh well...

Good start to the season. The deer thing was stupid, but I liked Izzie's message, until she turned back around and said something stupid her having the bad interns. :p

[ZTAngel]

I was not a fan. This show has gone downhill ever since the Denny incident. They've made Izzie insane ever since then and it just kills the whole show because it effects all the characters in some way. I wish they would stop with the Izzie and George thing and stop with the Meredith and Derek relationship (I am sooooo over it). Everything now is way too far-fetched and all the characters walk around miserable. The only saving grace of this show is Sandra Oh. Her character is the only one who makes this show still watchable.

[KDAngel]

I wish they would stop with the Izzie and George thing and stop with the Meredith and Derek relationship (I am sooooo over it).
OK, I'm over the Izzie/George one, but I still love the Meredith/Derek one. Blah.

[SapphireSphinx9]

Does anyone else see Alex and Christine hooking up this season?

I don't know how I feel about the whole George and Izzy thing... He's way to wishy washy for me - and she's a nut job. She needs some serious therapy or something! LOL

[PsychTau2]

Does anyone else see Alex and Christine hooking up this season?

I'm beginning to see it as a possibility. Although Alex always seems to go after/get interested in the women who need "rescuing" or a rebound from a bad relationship. I think he first liked Izzy because she was Izzy, but then he definitely swooped in to attempt a rescue when Denny died. Then there was Addison, Ava/Rebecca, and now possibly Christina.

I am really looking forward to Christina's character development this season. I think a lot of the others will stay stuck where they're at now, but she definitely looks like she'll be changing.

I'm wondering if George will attach himself to Lexie somehow as a Meredith replacement.

BTW, did you notice during the scene where all the interns were staring at George in the locker room because he delivered a baby on his very first day as an intern? One of the women said "Did your head just explode from the awesomeness of it?" She sounded JUST LIKE CHRISTINA when she said that! I'm wondering if some of the new interns will take on the original crew's characteristics.

PsychTau

[LeslieAGD]

I am hoping that the new interns are just "filler cast" and that the show will still focus on Meredith, Christina, Izzy, Alex, George, Derek, and Bailey.
I didn't think Lexie was as obnoxious as I thought she was going to be, but I hope they don't try to turn her into the next Addison-type character.

[Jimmy Choo]

I actually wonder if this season they will have McSteamy show some growth and not be so shallow.

[Glitter650]

I was not a fan. Everything now is way too far-fetched and all the characters walk around miserable.

SERIOUSLY... like NO ONE has ANYTHING going right for them... :( seriously SOMETHING'S gotta give. Kinda depressed me last night...

[DolphinChicaDDD]

I was not a fan of the premier. I am SO not a fan of the Izzie/George thing, and hoped it would have been squashed already. At the beginning, I didn't like Lexi- dude, the middle of a trauma was not the time to announce that you're someones sister who has never met you. Wait until later. And the deer thing was stupid.

[Xidelt]

At one point in the premier (I think it was when Izzy called herself Bambi), everyone was so self-absorbed and miserable I wanted to slap them and turn the tv off! Who does that? Maybe an individual person once in a while, but never a whole group of people for hours, days, months on end! And I'm so tired of George walking around in a daze...he did that for the last half of the season last year! This show has some great writers and excellent episodes (story line with Denny, episode with Meredith's mother passing away, Meredith's near-death experience), but last night was definetely NOT one of their finer moments. It was boring, frustrating, and disappointing. I hope the characters become a little less idiotic and one-dimensional (ie, selfish, miserable zombies), or I'll catch these episodes later on in re-runs.

[ZTAngel]

I thought that last night's episode was definitely better than last week's. It's still not as good as some of the episodes in Season of course. I just really hope that George and Izzy do not get together. Their love triangle thing makes the show suck more.

[trideltrockstar]

George is driving me nuts! Why don't they bring in a new sexy guy for Izzie? In real life, a woman like her would never be with a guy like George. They made it seem like she just got over Denny way too quickly and "fell in love" with George. UGH

And I may not like Lexie but Meredith is horribly mean to her!

[Xylochick216]

This week was definitely a million times better than last week. Let's hope it keeps getting better.

[Glitter650]

Totally enoyed the "addiction" theme. I agree Meredith was TOTALLY mean to Lexi, I mean I understand that would be a hard sitution to deal with and that Lexi would be a constant reminder of her messed up family life, but she was MEAN with no good reason, it's not Lexi's fault, it's their ass munch of a father.

[Fleur de Lis]

I really enjoyed this week's episode. I loved Christina and Mama (lol) and Bailey going off on Alex. Maybe they will start focusing a little more on patients again and less on everyone's self-absorption.:rolleyes:

I didn't even notice. I don't consider her a really important character, even though her part last night made me tear up.

Callie was awesome last night though. She's never been my favourite, but when she went off on that husband, it was brilliant. I'm a fan. Finally. :)

[Glitter650]

Camille def. made me cry last night... the show is STILL depressing... I mean they used to maybe at least get a patient with a funny ailment to ligthen the mood when their personal lives were all going downhill... but... they are all just angry and upset at everything...

[OtterXO]

Does it annoy anyone else that they changed the actress that played Camille?

I didn't notice either. I was trying to remember what she looked like in the Prom episode but couldn't recall. I like the direction this season is going. But I have to say that I'm annoyed with the McDreamy/Lexie friendship. I may stop watching if they end up getting together or kissing or something lame like that.

[AGDee]

The writer of this show addresses the new actress for Camille in the grey's writers blog this week.

I loved Derek's little speech to Meredith UNTIL he said that stupid line about if someone else comes along who is ready. Although this is the 4th season, the first 3 seasons took up one year of their lives (their intern year). SO in that year, he met Meredith and started a relationship, then his WIFE showed up and despite Meredith's heart felt "pick me, choose me" (where she WAS totally open to the relationship, the future, etc) he chose Addison. THEN they started to be friends, THEN he got ticked off about Finn while he was with his WIFE, THEN he had sex with Meredith and finally ended things with his WIFE. Then Meredith lost both her mother and her step-mother and almost died herself. And then he abandons her because she's traumatized by it all. Holy crap, cut the girl some slack. He "broke" her (term they used on the show) and now he just wants her to give completely of herself??? Take a little time to build the trust back up dude.. sheesh.

[lyrelyre]

The writer of this show addresses the new actress for Camille in the grey's writers blog this week.

Oh, I understand that changing the actress couldn't be helped. I just always find it distracting at first. What I really noticed more than her looking different was her voice. When Camille was in last episode of season 2 and she told Richard that she had been loved, her voice sounded so sweet and innocent. The new actress’s voice was just very different, although that could have been due to the location of the new cancer.

[bluefish81]

I swear the other girl that played Camille had been on Veronica Mars at one point in time, but I could be wrong.

I'm really tired of the whole Izzy/George thing. I don't like the idea of them together, and I'm tired of Izzy being all wounded and pathetic. It's getting real old. It made me wish that Callie would have fought her at lunch and knocked her out. And I'm not the biggest Callie fan in the world.

[Fleur de Lis]

I would like to take this moment to honor Alex's hotness.

I don't think Izzie fell for George too quick after Denny. It's always been blatantly obvious to me that they were going to be together and all the other crushes and SOs(Denny, Meredith, Callie) were just in the way.

For the first time this season, I really and truly enjoyed an episode! I thought last night was hilarious!
I think the addition of Haan is great so far, and I hope she keeps calling Derek and Sloane "pretty and prettier." :D
I loved the wedding dress storyline and I think it was funny that George had to play proxy and that Lexie got the blonde to have the surgery.
Meredith wasn't too whiney, Izzy showed she's not useless, Callie actually smiled, and Alex got to be nice and a horndog at the same time.
The "gentlemen's evening" conversation and execution was also just great!
Please, please keep it up, Grey's Anatomy!

[nikki1920]

Alex has always kept it real and I like him for that.

Meredith always had issues and this was the first episode where she got the connection between her and her mom, her and her dad and her and her sister and her fear of abandonment. FINALLY!! lol

The ending completely made the show: You only shaved one leg?!

[Fleur de Lis]

I also really enjoyed that episode!

I think Haan will be a great addition to the lineup. I'm hoping her character will be more like Bailey's, less like Addison's, like they aren't just adding fresh bodies to the hook up pool and turning the storylines back onto interpersonal drama.

I wondered how long it would be before Lexi would hook up with someone, in true Grey's style. Not that I wouldn't hook up with Alex, given the opportunity. ;)

[nikki1920]

I mean, Alex kept it real.. and said he wouldn't call, and she was ok with that. :)

And Alex is kinda sexy. ...

[AlethiaSi]

I don't watch Grey's (I know... the horror!!!) lol but one of my sisters is going to be on one of the episodes, I believe as an extra or something (she moved to LA to "make it" lol)
i'm excited for her:D

I really like Haan too. She's a fun character. I also like that Izzie is drawn to her. I think it will ultimately be good for her.

Really liking Callie more and more lately. Christina too.

[Glitter650]

Really liking Callie more and more lately. Christina too.



I think several things have helped to make Christina more interesting lately, being left at the alter by Burke, being given that speech by Izzie about being in a "closed circle" with Meredith, and being treated the way she is by Hahn is making her see that maybe lift isn't so black and white, and some compassion is necessary sometimes. :)

[nikki1920]

I liked Christina as she was/is: she was honest. When Mere had her drowning thing, and it was just them, I got that whole scene. She's her person. She helps translate for Derek when he doesn't get Meredith. Christina lacks some interpersonal skills, true, but she doesnt sugarcoat things when they don't need to be. She wouldn't get the bird thing with the patient like Izzie did, for example. And not everyone gets Gizzie, so I dont think Iz is in a place to judge the validity of a relationship.

I liked Callie from the jump, but had to scratch my head when she married George.

ok, I am waaaay too into this show.. lol..

Is anyone watching Private Practice? It's GA but with grown ups.. lol. Its good.

[Fawn Liebowitz]

I didn't get into Private Practice like I thought I would. Maybe I just didn't watch enough.

I still love GA, but what are they going to do now that everybody has pretty much slept around?

[Fawn Liebowitz]

Oh...btw, I thought the best thing in last night's episode was when Haan asked if McDreamy and McSteamy were a couple.

[nikki1920]

Pretty and Prettier!

[Glitter650]

Pretty and Prettier!


OH, but they ARE ! :p

[Fleur de Lis]

LOL! I LOVED that line and their reaction.

[AGDee]

I like Derek and Mark being friends again. You can see how they were buddies before and yeah, pretty and prettier was hilarious.

Derek is still on my nerves a bit. Meredith did open up some, she talked about how it felt when she died and came back but he still made that comment to Christina about how Meredith isn't letting him take care of her. BUT, he was the one who told Meredith "I can't breathe for you anymore", indicating that he can't take care of her.

Meredith came to some good conclusions about their relationship and that was a big breakthrough.

I like Haan in there too and also hope that they don't have her have a romance with one of the McPretties. I like how she and Izzy are interacting.

[lyrelyre]

I like Haan...I like how she and Izzy are interacting.

I am actually wondering if they are setting up some drama when Hahn discovers it was Izzie who "stole" the heart from her patient.

[oceanphi01]

I am addicted and i am gonna have withdrawals because it is not on this week

[AnatraAmore]

Just for the record, a pencil in the eye was the grossest thing I think I've ever seen. I'm not sure why that's more disgusting than the guy who cut his leg off with a chainsaw, but I think it was...

[christiangirl]

Even grosser than the bomb squad guy who blew up into a big cloud of bloody mist?

[cuteASAbug]

Yes. With the bomb, all you saw was pink mist. Here, they showed the gory details.

[Fleur de Lis]

I'm definitely concerned that they'll start going for the "gore factor". I have been ok so far, but I don't do well with medical shows. (I literally can't watch House or ER without getting naseous!) I hope it stays in the nice balance of soap opera meets non-gory medicine.

[Glitter650]

Hahn really just isn't very nice is she ?!!

[BetteDavisEyes]

Will someone PLEASE give me a recap of the last episode or at least how it ended? The one with the white supremacist & the ambulance accident? My piece of crap DVR stopped recording when Tucker (Dr. Bailey's husband) was waiting in the lobby or nurse's station for her.

Can someone pick it up from there?

[bluefish81]

I'm not good with the recaps, so I'll defer that to someone else. I do know that you can watch the show on ABC's website.
I liked this episode. One of my favorite things - very little focus on George and Izzie's relationship. I'm so over that, hmm...wait, never was real on board with that idea.

[LeslieAGD]

Basically at the end, Alex let Ava/Rebecca sit in the gallery at the surgery and she met Lexie. She told Lexie she was dating Alex and Lexie got pissed and went to check on Seth Green's character. His corroded artery exploded all over her.

All I can say is POOR LEXIE! That girl can't catch a break.

[nikki1920]

I dont feel bad for Lexie at all. Alex told her from jump that he wasn't the boyfriend type and she ran with it. But what the hell was he thinking putting Ava in the gallery like that?!

And what is Tucker's problem?

And when dude's carotid artery exploded, that was NASSSTEEEE! :eek:

[christiangirl]

I missed it this week! I'll watch it on the net tonight, everyone was talking about it all Thanksgiving weekend! :mad:

[nikki1920]

let us know when you've watched it.

just dont watch the last two minutes if you are squeamish about blood...

[christiangirl]

Lol, I'm not. Don't worry, I'll come back after I've watched, but I enjoy spoilers. That's why I dropped in. ;)

ETA: Okay, it wasn't as gory as I thought it would be. But I seriously do feel bad for Lexi (even though I haven't really liked her much). That's one heck of a way to be asked on a date.

[Cardinal026]

Last week's episode ended with a "To be continued..." and then today its a repeat? Boo. :(

[AGDee]

I heard they're dragging it out due to the writer's strike. Also, because the main sweeps week is next week.

[christiangirl]

What are main sweeps? I always heard it, but have no concept.

[nikki1920]

something to do with advertising rates, I think.

but its when all the shows put out their mid-season cliff hangers.

[LeslieAGD]

What are main sweeps? I always heard it, but have no concept.

Sweeps are in May and November.

[christiangirl]

Sweeps are in May and November.

I know when they are--I don't know what they are. ;)

[AGDee]

It's when they determine who is watching what and when. Those statistics are then used to determine the costs of advertising. So, if more people watch that week, the more advertising dollars they can get. It's all about the ratings.

[nikki1920]

Bump

New episode tonight...
Next new episode: who knows? :( :mad:

[jojapeach]

Damn this ticking of the clock. I actually thought I had missed the episode because of Thanksgiving. Then I thought Part 2 was playing last Thursday. Now it's this Thursday, and I had to refresh on what happened.

I'm eager to see what happens. :D I hated seeing that carotid artery dancing as Seth laughed...then that burst. Wow.

Forget the fact that there's a man to save in an upside down ambulance. *smirk*

[nikki1920]

But what will happen to Meredith?
And Bailey and Tucker?

[DolphinChicaDDD]

in prep for tonight's episode (since i haven't seen it yet, since i'm no longer in EST. I don't even know what time zone i'm in) i just watched part 1 on abc.com.
Here is my impression:
Is it just me, or does Meredith seem to get more whinny with every friggin episode? Dude, someone's husband just died. And you're bitchin to the Chief that she is going to remember you as the person who bought her bad news? BITCH BITCH BITCH MOAN MOAN MOAN WHINE WHINE WHINE get over yourself.

I now officially hate Meredith Gray. I hope McDreamy leaves her dumbass and never looks back. I'd kill her if she whinnied that much.

[nittanyalum]

Thank you!!! NO, it is not just you!! ;)

[Sailboat Sis]

I think Grey's has one last episode before they are kaput due to the strike.

ETA: Yes, one last episode. It will not air until the new year though! :(

[nikki1920]

I love love love love love Alex Karev.

[Unregistered-]

Rebecca/Ava needs to be mauled by a ferry again.

Lexie's growing on me with each new episode.

[ilovemyglo]

I don't know how they managed to make a show that is heroin, but they did- this show is crack or something. They must have some sort of subliminal messages or something that is straight up addictive.

[PeppyGPhiB]

I don't know how they managed to make a show that is heroin, but they did- this show is crack or something. They must have some sort of subliminal messages or something that is straight up addictive.

Well, it's not crack to everyone. I stopped watching :) It got way too ridiculous.

And for the record, I've hated Meredith Grey since day 1.

[AnatraAmore]

Meredith is really starting to annoy me, but at the same time, Lexie is becoming more and more endearing. I kind of like the idea that Christina might be starting to take a liking to her...

[christiangirl]

And for the record, I've hated Meredith Grey since day 1.

I wouldn't say "hate" but I'll ditto this anyway.

[OtterXO]

Rebecca/Ava needs to be mauled by a ferry again.


Tell me about it. I don't know why they keep bringing her character back....she just bugs.

[AlexMack]

These last two episodes had me in tears as an EMT. The show may be like crack but I just can't deal with watching ambulance crashes and dead medics when it's supposed to be my release.

At least the music stays good. If anyone wants the song Cristina is dancing to at the beginning of part one I finally tracked it down to download it. <3 Irish techno. If I didn't have these amazing songs on the soundtrack I'd be lost.

[nikki1920]

The music IS great on the show. DAMN writers strike. TV studios, give them their share so I can get my show back!!

ETA: per USAToday, we have 1 new episode left.

[MandyPepperidge]

"Season finale." Thoughts?

Rose is a poor man's Mary Louise Parker. Team Meredith!

[Proverbs31]

"Season finale." Thoughts?



I didn't too much care for tonights episode. All of the characters have become dreary and depressed.

The previous seasons were much better, IMO.

[BetteDavisEyes]

I'm so bored of watching Meredith & her stupid commitment issues. Also, George and Izzy are BORING.

Hahn and Christina are worth watching. Bailey as well but last night, the storyline with her & Tucker was lame, IMO.

[LeslieAGD]

I'm so bored of watching Meredith & her stupid commitment issues.

Meredith was right though...if one day Derek is kissing someone else, and the next day he is looking at plans for a house, and two minutes after he breaks up with Meredith (again!) he's asking someone else out, then of course she has reasons to have trust and commitment issues.

Hahn by herself is a massive beyotch but she and Sloane are hilarious, and she and Callie have picked up the friendship that Callie lost when Addison left.

[AnatraAmore]

I really like the Hahn and Callie / Hahn and Sloan drama... the slight drama with Izzy and George was somewhat interesting, but I hope next season they move on to something new and interesting. For the first time I can really see Meredith's POV with the trust issues towards Derek... I hope that they do something new with that for next season. (Which I hope they get back to write ASAP...)

[texas*princess]

Yea I thought that was pretty messed up.

Was THAT seriously the season finale?

[Jimmy Choo]

Izzie blurting in all out to George's mom was hysterical!!!! But if they really wanted a "season finale", they should have never showed this episode. They one prior to this one would have been a perfect way to leave it IMO.

[deadbear80]

Did anyone else think it was interesting that Bailey did the voice-over talking during this episode and not Meredith. It's the first time they've done that...and I thought it was an interesting move.

Sounds like George may move on from Izzy to Lexie. Oy; let him come out and say he's gay instead :).

I like that Callie and Hahn have paired up as friends--Callie needs some more support in the hospital. I did really like Bailey telling Hahn off though--sort of stabbing her with the 'you're cold hearted' thing. I do like that Christina was made out to have a soft side--I know it's in her and I've been waiting for them to make her less 'robot' like.

[Jimmy Choo]

It's the first time Bailey has been the narrator but it's not the first time someone else has narrated other than Meredith. George has narrated (he did the episode after he had his disasterous sexual encounter with Meredith) and Cristina has narrated (in the episode where she ratted out Burke for having the tremors).

[oceanphi01]

Ugh. I hate Derek at the moment...stupid man...you're one of the reasons WHY she has trust issues.

Anyway, it was an okay episode...if it was truly the season finale, then it sucked as one because there's no suspense to want us to wait 5 months for a resolution.

I heart Cristina...that's all I have to say. She rocks...and I think that her showing a softer side will win her points with Hahn. :)

[deadbear80]

Yes, I know. But Bailey is not usually as much of a focal point as George and Christina have been in the show. Bailey's a minor character. That's what I meant by my earlier comment.

[AGDee]

I was so glad that Meredith finally pointed out to Derek that there are 100 steps between dating exclusively and building a dream home. I don't like Derek anymore. He even admitted that he brought out the house plans because he thought it would freak her out. Game playing doesn't work in a relationship. Let him have Rose. Let's get Meredith someone good who won't be married when she meets him and who won't play mind games with her.

I don't like Bailey's husband either.

I liked Bailey being the narrator and it was pretty much "her" epsisode, so it fit well.

I think they needed to show all the taped episodes for financial reasons. There are "little people" who needed to get paid. I hope this writers strike is settled soon. I truly don't understand why the studios are so reluctant to give the writers what they want. It seems reasonable to me.

[BetteDavisEyes]

I heart Cristina...that's all I have to say. She rocks...and I think that her showing a softer side will win her points with Hahn. :)


I think that Hahn is purposefully making things hard for her to see if she is going to stick it out and see if she has the "right" stuff to make it in cardio-thoracic or if she quits like Izzie, then she wasn't meant to be a heart surgeon.
Just my .02

[Jimmy Choo]

My bad! I misunderstood!

Maybe they will have everyone do some narrating.... a Mark Sloan narrated episode has some potential. :)

[nikki1920]

I'm still trying to figure out what Tucker does for a living? Is he a stay at home dad? Or is he still suffering from issues with the car accident.

I completely understand Meredith and her issues. I get Derek's version as well. When the writers' blog was up, the second entry explained where Derek and Mere were in terms of their relationship perfectly.

I still don't like Hahn. Christina has a heart and I still love her character's growth.

I am still in love with Chief.

[StarFish106]

Christina is forever my girl along with Bailey. Scooter (I mean Tucker) has points but there is a reason she isn't willing to make time to talk to him..wonder what that is.

Sloan, yes you are too pretty...but don't let that stop you;)


The Gizzie Saga...can we shoot this already? Sigh...

Karev...come here baby put your head in my lap and tell me all about why you aren't a good boy anymore :D

[oceanphi01]

Karev...come here baby put your head in my lap and tell me all about why you aren't a good boy anymore :D


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[bluefish81]

I believe he's a stay at home dad. Something Bailey said in this episode and the previous episode eluding to him being angry at her for agreeing to stay at home so that she could work.

[Unregistered-]

Dr. Karev checks himself into the nut ward (http://www.tmz.com/2008/01/31/greys-star-checked-in-to-ucla-psych-ward/)

Ironically he was in the same ward where Brit Brit was being treated. Karev has since checked out.

[nikki1920]

I hope he's alright.

[queen jai]

There's a rumour that the WGA have come to some type of agreement......(fingers crossed) Now, they can get back to writing more cliffhanging, tearjerkers. Come back Seattle Grace.

[AlethiaSi]

I had a crazy migraine yesterday and watched season 1 and 5 episodes of season 5 (having roommates with box sets is a good thing) and I'm hooked!!!!

I am so in love with Dr. Karev... soooo hotttt

[nikki1920]

Yay!!!! Now I have to call you when its on...lol..

[christiangirl]

Scooter (I mean Tucker)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who keeps calling him Scooter. :) I finally found a website that had that epi posted since ABC is down on their game. That was said, but I agree--if that was the season finale, then it was weaker than if they had left it at the last one. And Derek is so dumb! For once, Meredith made more sense than he did.

[nikki1920]

Yes, yes, yes, yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!

[nikki1920]

its goood... not as good as The Bomb Episode, but still good.

[Thetagirl218]

So since all we have to relish from Grey's right now is a bunch of old seasons, I will share something I learned today!

My aunt (The one who is a Gamma Phi) met Patrick Dempsey at a race track this weekend! Apparently, he races Grand Prix on the side.

She said he seemed very much a family man with his kids there with him, and he was super nice to all his fans. She has met a lot of celebrities and said he seemed to love his fans, while some celebs seemed annoyed by them.

I just thought it was cool! I am soo jealous!

[oceanphi01]

Grey's will return on April 24th for 5 new episodes! :)


I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!

[Thetagirl218]

Grey's is all new tomorrow!!!! I can't wait!!!

[Kappamd]

NEW GREY'S TONIGHT!!
