I was really annoyed by that comment from Richard, too. Just very unprofessional for that to be your reasoning -- making decisions for someone else's life based on your own failures?

I had the same take on the epidural business; not that Iz has DONE one, but has HAD one -- as in, "I've done the (labor, delivery,) epidural thing."

I think George was an idiot though -- forcing his way into being her support person, when he wasn't asked and had somewhere else to be -- like, um, reconnecting with his wife. For their scheduled date. And then lying to her. Is it any wonder that Iz thinks the world revolves around her?

Epidural-You all are so perceptive. I didn’t even think about the fact that Izzie probably had an epidural when she gave birth to her daughter.

As long as we’re bashing Grey’s ;), I am really annoyed by the fact that the events of the past 3 years have all supposedly transpired over the first year of their residency. I mean, I know it’s a TV show, but that is a LOT of drama for one year. Shonda needs to move on and end the “internship” year.

Some fun news from TVGuide.com:

Grey's Sara Ramirez: I've Got A New Record Deal (http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Tv-Guide-News/Greys-Sara-Ramirez/800013381)
We’ve already seen her rock out in her underwear on Grey’s Anatomy. Now Tony-winning actress Sara Ramirez, who plays George’s (T.R. Knight) feisty wife, Callie, has signed a deal to record her own album. “All I can say is that Eric Idle and John Du Prez, who were the writers of Spamalot, are writing the album,” Ramirez told TV Guide at the Step Up Inspiration Awards where she was honored for mentoring young girls.

Although her lips are sealed about the disc’s sound, Ramirez — who has already inked a contract with Universal Music Group — did reveal that she’d spend her summer break from Grey’s in the studio recording the album.

But the Mexico native did let a few details slip about the love triangle brewing between George, Callie and Izzie. “Callie is just showing up doing her job, oblivious to everything,” says Ramirez. So will she call it quits after discovering George slept with ex-model Izzie? “I think she knows her relationship with George is in sort of a delicate place,” she hints. “But she’s a strong lady. She knows what she wants so I’m sure she’ll go to any lengths to get it!”

I could be wrong about this, but I thought in med school before you choose a 'specialty', you have rotations on all the specialties. I just assumed one of these would be a rotation which would include a lot of things they don't do as *surgeons* but they have done in the past, ie. epidurals. Though I'm not a medical student nor related to one in any way, that is just how it works in my head. :p

I didn't think what the Chief said was professional, but I did like that someone was giving McDreamy a wake up call about putting that which is important in his life in perspective. I mean being obsessed w/ his career is what led to the deterioration of his first marriage - it's about time he considers that as a serious possibility before taking the next step, whatever that is.

Yes but their specialty would be between which type of surgeon they would want to be (hearts, peds, etc.), just like someone who wants to be a doctor of anesthesia would go about different rotations to decide which type of cases he wants to do, KWIM? It would be a loooooong internship if students explored every position available to a medical doctor rather than narrowing it down ahead of time to what type of doctor they want to be.

As far as Izzy and the epidural, didn't she say "I've done them before"? I could understand if she had said "Yea, I've done this before" that she would be talking about her pregnancy.

Anyway, not that it matters. :p

Have Ava's teeth been talking about? What is up with them? At first I thought it was just due to the accident, but they are so discolored. It almost looks and sounds like she is talking with fake teeth.

They seem really small, too. I wish they would say something about it but maybe that's just how they look.

I really liked Thursday's ep, but I too was upset at what the Chief said to Derek. I mean I get that he's trying to protect Mer and doesn't want to see her and Derek's relationship end up like his, but I don't think that's a valid enough reason to not put his name in, you know? And I was pissed at Derek for thinking about possibly letting Mer go, especially after everything he went through when she drowned.

I was really touched by George being there for Izzie and helping her through a very difficult time. While I'm not crazy that they slept together, I hope that this episode gets their friendship back on track. I do feel badly for Callie though, and am not looking forward to when she finds out what happened.

I thought McSteamy as the "wing man" was great. :D

Poor Alex and "Ava". :(

(

I agree with you. I was glad that he was there for her even though she wanted to be tough and not have him around. I think Callie will be finding out about the affair soon because she will start getting suspicious about him lying about taking care of patients when meredith told her he was with Izzie.

Grey's Spoilers (http://www.tvguide.com/News-Views/Columnists/Ask-Ausiello/default.aspx)

Question: Please tell me that Callie will find out soon about George and Izzie whoring around behind her back?— Lauren
Ausiello: Poor Callie will remain blissfully unaware until around, um, let's go with May 10. The following week, I believe the smelly brown stuff hits the fan.
Question: Is Isaiah Washington leaving Grey's Anatomy?— Karen
Ausiello: If he is, ABC is doing a really good job of keeping a lid on it. This much I know for sure: At the end of next Thursday's episode, Burke starts to have some serious reservations about marrying Cristina. And you're never going to believe whom he turns to for advice. (Hint: They had a little dust-up at the Golden Globes.)

Did anyone else see the preview that ran during last night's Notes from the Underbelly (might have run during Lost, too, but I don't watch that)?

They show Alex and Addison kissing and starting to take off each other's clothes in the on call room! :eek: But will it go anywhere?!?!?! Should be fun to find out tonight. :)

Aack!! I DVR'd Ugly Betty and Grey's, and started watching UB about 20 min before Grey's so I could go straight through both and FF through commercials. Well, for some reason, my DVR froze right when Addison was yelling at Alex in the hall...talk about horrible timing!! After nearly throwing the thing through the window, I remembered that I've gotten my parents hooked and they record it on their DVR too, I calmed down and finished watching on theirs. Thank goodness I've shared the addiction...there's no way I could've made it til tomorrow night!

I loved this episode - I don't think there's a single thing about it that I didn't like, and that's the first time I've said that in a while. (I don't count the fact that I don't like the whole spin off idea against this episode.) I loved that Mark's immediate reaction was to hit on Meredith, and that he actually listened when she said that if he was letting Addison go, to let her go. That was one of my favorite scenes, when he told her that he couldn't hold out. Actual character growth...who saw that coming???

I don't know if it was character growth or if it was him preempting her. He probably thought she was going to call off the bet and say she slept with Alex and he wanted to be the one to do it first (ego). That was my initial reaction.

Loved this episode. Felt so sad for Addison!!! The preview showed her saying she wanted to have a baby so maybe she got pregnant for Alex?

Re: Alex, I think he has something to hide... (maybe he has a wife somewhere or there's something shameful in his background) but I totally didn't expect him to blow off Addison like that!

Hate what they're doing to Mer/Der. Can't those two just be happy for longer than five minutes???

And why is George transferring??? I hope he's not leaving the show because of what happened with IW!!! That was a surprise. Starting to get mad at him though... wanting to keep his marriage with Callie while emotionally cheating on her with Izzie. Make a decision already! It's like the Derek/Addison/Meredith triangle from season 1 all over again.

Finally, I don't think the Chief is leaving anytime soon. The Chairman's speech really got to him so I think he'll stay.

All in all, another great episode! Can't believe I have to wait a whole week for another one!!!

He's my favorite character to want to throw things at, but I agree...I think he did love Addison, as much and in the only way he is capable of - which isn't enough/the way she needs. That's why I think it was character growth - some of it might have been to save face, but I think that letting her think that he did what she expected was his way to let her off the hook and not feel guilty for her actions, and to let her move on.

I really like this episode too--like another PP said, this was the first one in awhile where I didn't have any complaints. :) I agree with the Mer/Der thing, there is so much drama and stuff with other couples right now, it would be great for one to just be happy for awhile.

In the previews for next week, did anyone catch who slapped Meredith? The angle was weird and you just saw her and McDreamy's reaction (of course, that could be heavy editing and his reaction wasn't even in that scene!). I'm really looking forward to next week-though I hope it's not one of these 2 hour events where it feels like it should have only been an hour! :rolleyes:

Last night was a good episode.

I get why George is wanting to transfer, but if he does I think it most definately means that Callie will be finding out what happened, otherwise how would he explain to her why he wants to go to another hospital?

I was sad for Mer last night when they were in Der's bed and he said what he did, especially right after they (presumably) DTD. If I didn't *heart* Derek I'd hope shed dump his ass, but after how much it took to get them together I want them to stay together.

Can't wait till next week- 2 HOURS!! My husband is so thrilled :rolleyes: , lol.

I think it was Thatcher...her father. There are rumors about something happening with her family. I won't say anything more because it might be considered spoiler worthy.

I thought it was a great episode. I am bugged by Derek though. He really pissed me off last night. If anything, the Chief has told him that no job is worth ruining a relationship...heck he said the same thing to Miranda at the end of last night's episode. Why can't these people get it!

Dawson's mother - THAT's where I recognized her from! And the girlfriend/secretary? I recognize her too.

I don't think George is going awaywhere. A spoiler a while back said he was going to contemplate it.

Yeah, why screw with Mer and Derek now?!

I love Sloane. (I like him better than Derek...shhhh.) I felt bad for him as well. I think he was actually going to make it so he could be with Addison. You could tell he loved her when he took the fall at the end, saying he hadn't lasted, rather than calling her out.

I can't remember the chick's name who is in the clinic a lot now (the annoying one) but I hope she isn't a permanent character on the show. She bugs the crap out of me.

Sydney - she has seriously got to bug the crap our of everyone.

I thought that was Mer's dad who slapped her too.

I don't think that George is leaving - how would that solve any of the problems with Izzy and Callie? Also - I'm pretty over Addison and Mark. I like her a lot as an actress, but their characters have run out of steam (and I believe that is on purpose).

I'm just totally annoyed with Callie - and I hate that she and George are supposed to be married and yet there is not one bit of interaction shown between them.

I DO NOT think that Addison wants to get pregnant for Alex. I DO think Alex has a dark past which has been alluded to, especially in terms of family. I think despite the bad past he will be a good father/husband if he allows himself to be. I could have sworn he said something at some point last season along the lines of --- just becuase someone is raised bad doesn't mean they will turn out that way or have to turn out that way (maybe the episode with the dad who beat his wife and needed a transplant from his teenage son?)

I still think there is a reason Ava is there too, she and Alex have more to learn from each other/give each other.

The best was scene was Callie and Addison gossiping at the nurses station and they kept cutting to Ava listening in in the background. I love that she calls it the Seattle Grace Show...because isn't that just what we are all watching every week! hahah

As for Alex, I dunno...I think Ava comment about Addison wanting "husband material" and a man who wants to BBQ and play with kids, maybe got to him. I think it freaked him out and he's still at that "do I want to be single or do I want to settle down" questioning life stage

I agree. Isn't he the only one of the interns whose family we haven't "met" or learned much about? BumbleB, you're right about the episode with the wife beater needing a transplant from his son. That is the only episode I can remember where Alex opens up about his family, unless I'm totally missing something. I think it's time we learn more about Alex.

04-27-2007, 10:56 AM

I agree with Maplekitty, I think the comment about Alex settling down really got to him. Otherwise I think he would have been content to keep the fling with Addison going. I felt really bad for her at the end when Alex dissed her. I think I even said "ouch" out loud. ;)

I liked the way Sloane took the fall for Addison as well. But that part where he propositioned Mer was just pitiful. Come on Sloane!

And Derek is an @ss. :cool:

Izzie to George - "YOU are my penis fish".

Alex to Addison - "You're not my girlfriend".
HA! Again. What is he - 12 years old?

I HATE what they are doing to Mer/Der. Oh so reminiscient (sp?) of the whole Ross/Rachel break-up/make-up/break-up/make-up thing. Very annoying. It just gets so old. RIGHT when they get happy they break up again for no apparent reason.

I cannot wait for next week.

I think Sloane was trying to take the fall for Addison, too. It made me like him a little bit for a second.

Derek is a little less McDreamy after 1) saying crap to Merideth 2)being shown with his shirt off.

I loved the last scene with Burke and Cristina when Burke asked her which cake she liked and got all happy when she liked the red velvet cake. It's like he has this picture in his mind of the perfect wedding and she saw a little piece of it. I'm worried about the previews with them, though.

04-27-2007, 07:28 PM

Here's my question about the Mer/Der "situation." Last week he was contemplating their relationship b/c of what the Chief said...Chief position vs. relationship with Mere. NOW, it's because she didn't swim? Who knows, maybe it's for both of those reasons he's questioning things, but it just seemed a little like he was using the "you didn't swim" thing as a cop-out because he really couldn't say, "I'm trying to decide if I want you or the chief position." Either way, I felt really, really bad for her when she said, "I should go" and then her face when she realized that he wasn't going to stop her from going. You could tell that she truly thought he would say, "no, don't" and then he didn't.

Anyway, loved the episode. Thought it was one of the better ones we've had in a while. :) V-I-Penis was AWESOME! :D

LOTS of spoilers, but they're from the Nat'l Enquirer, so ya never know! :)

It’s a bloodbath on “Grey’s Anatomy!” Controversial star Isaiah Washington is getting the boot, but he’s not the only one leaving! The Enquirer has learned exclusively that T.R. Knight and Kate Walsh will also check out of the hit ABC medical drama in the blockbuster season-ender airing May 17th. An insider claims, “This season finale is by far the most exciting and dramatic ‘Grey’s’ show ever!”

To read a bunch of Grey’s Anatomy spoilers including how some of these cast members are getting written out - click on the continue reading link below!

In the finale’s most explosive twist, Isaiah’s character Dr. Preston Burke is passed over for the hospitals chief of surgery job and storms out of his wedding to Dr. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh).

T.R. Knight, character Dr. George O’Malley finds that he failed his final exam to become a doctor – and decides not to repeat his internship.

According to Enquirer’s insider, “Isaiah’s exit isn’t surprising, and T. R. never really got over the gay slur incident and was very disappointed with the way it was handled. Producers begged him to stay and they’ve left the door open for his return. But, right now, he has no intention of coming back.”

Chief of Surgery Dr. Richard Webber (James T. Pickens) gets the shock of his life when his estranged wife is wheeled into the OR, pregnant and bleeding. And he’s certain he’s not the father!

Meredith gives a heartfelt speech after Burke storms out of his wedding.
A network source reveals, “She points out that although doctors are good at fixing patients’ problems, they don’t know how to repair their own relationship.
Dr. McDreamy announces that he’s had enough of their on-again, off-again relationship – and confesses there may be another woman in his life! [Sidenote -- several people are speculating that this is supposed to be "McSteamy" and not "McDreamy" which would make a little more sense, but who knows]. Two riveting medical themed stories will also play out in the season-ending episode.

“Dr. Alex Karev will learn the real identity of a pregnant Jan Doe when her husband shows up,” said the network source. “And Dr. Shepherd will discover that a mountain climber who was brought to the hospital with an ice axe lodged in head was not the victim of a freak accident, as his friends say, but foul play.”

The network source also reveals, “Before Dr. O’Malley goes, Dr. Calle convinces him they should start trying to have a baby, so they do try…right there in the on-call sleeping room.”
As the episode ends, Dr. Webber appoints Dr. Shepherd to replace him as chief of surgery, “but he warns Derek not to make the same mistakes he did, such as putting his job before his personal life. Derek tells Richard he’s flattered, but tells Richard he should stay on.”

04-27-2007, 09:08 PM

In white I don't believe the one about George or the one about Richard's wife. I'm pretty sure that he could just retake a failed test, not redo his whole internship. And aren't Richard and his wife in their 50's or 60's? Pregnant? I can't buy that. The other spoilers, IDK, but I don't trust a source that would say a presumably post-menopausal woman is pregnant.

They lost me when they said Adele was pregnant. I don't buy it or that George would choose to have a baby with Callie. I've already read spoilers that somebody is pregnant and has been for a while. Speculation is that it is Callie and that wouldn't jive with the new spoiler.

I won't be surprised if IW left because of the name calling incident.

Re the spoiler: If all those people leave, there won't be much left to the show...

I think the chief will end up staying on. Sort of as a sacrifice to the other drs bc he doesn't want any of them to end up family-less like him.

I don't remember if Mark is supposed to be leaving or not, but maybe Addison leaves bc she is PG from her fling with Mark? Well aside from all the Karev stuff.

I agree that Karev is confused about who he thinks he is and who he really is. That's why he said what he said to Addison. Plus, he's like 27 on the show. That's on the young side for a guy to be settling down, esp. if they are coming from a swinging lifestyle. I'm sure he has problems picturing himself in the house with the white picket fence. I'd like to see his apartment though :) And really see if he can fit all his stuff into a milk crate.

Derek annoyed me. I can't believe he is trying to choose btwn the chief position and Mer. Didn't he say that just bc Richard couldn't do it all didn't mean that someone else couldn't? Now it seems like he doesn't even want to try. Maybe that's why they threw in the swimming thing.

As for the test they are studying for, it's called the Step 3 and it's the last part of the medical licensing exam. Med students take the first 2 parts (3 actually but one part is clinical) during med school, then the last part after one year of residency. You can take it again. It would seem weird to me that if you failed, you would give up. I mean, after having invested all that time in studying and training, you just give up? You're talking about 8 years of your life there. I think some who fail choose to change specialty. This is not uncommon with surgery. Oh and there is no way that Izzie did epis before. I think she also said that she had done them in the past but 1) she is not a resident in anesthesiology and 2) she is ONLY an intern. No attending would take that insurance risk. But this is fiction. I think Karev was also supposed to have given Ava her epi.

I really loved how Burke was so into choosing a cake flavor and that Cristina actually gave him her opinion about the red velvet cake. It showed him that she really did care.

Did anyone else notice McDreamy's nipples? Are they inverted?

I think Derek has been wanting to communicate with Meredith about the fact she tried to drown, and this was a good point to say something (well, maybe not right after DTD).

I used to like Callie, but I'm kind of hoping they get an annulment.

I like the Ava storyline and how she was listening in on the gossiping. I think she has a crush on Alex.

Speaking of Alex, I finally realized where I recognize him from. He was the guy on the "Wedding Planner" who was supposed to marry J Lo. Now I can't stop thinking of that when I see him.

04-28-2007, 09:14 AM

Honestly, I was annoyed by Derek's behavior towards Meredith in the last episode. He keeps making this big deal that she knows how to swim-but who the heck knows what happened in that water. One minute she's helping save a guy's life and the next minute she's tossed into freezing cold water!

All I can say is they better not break up, because if I have to see her be dumped by Derek again I just may quit the show.

Although I am remembering that in the last episode with Chris O'Donnell he told Meredith that Derek would hurt her again!

Speaking of Alex, I finally realized where I recognize him from. He was the guy on the "Wedding Planner" who was supposed to marry J Lo. Now I can't stop thinking of that when I see him.

OMG, you're right! lmao!!! Wasn't his name Massimo or something like that?

I know I've said it before, but I have to say it again-I hate Christina. I truly do not get what Burke sees in her. He is so the woman in their relationship and she is so the man.

I'm glad Addison and Alex finally had sex! So typical of him to behave the way he did. I really hope the spin-off isn't any good because I want Addison to stay!

Meredith and Derek-not surprised. Not surprised one bit. No couple ever stays happy for long on any show.

Great episode! I have to say, though. Ava bugs me. Anyone else?

I like her, but something about her is bugging me - or bugging me because it hasn't been addressed. Her teeth - are they supposed to look like that because of the accident, or is the character just supposed to have really bad teeth? And if it was because of the accident, why weren't they fixed?

PookiePrincess

04-28-2007, 08:23 PM

I heard in the podcast last week that Ava's teeth were a result of the accident, they just haven't been fixed yet.

Rose

04-28-2007, 09:44 PM

I've never noticed her teeth, even after it was mentioned and I knew to look for them.

I heard in the podcast last week that Ava's teeth were a result of the accident, they just haven't been fixed yet.

Maybe the Doctors don't want to fix them until the baby is born. No unnecessary surgery or procedures. Again I didn't notice them so I don't know what needs to be fixed.

Yes she does bug a bit too. Mostly I think they have dragged this out too long.

For those of you that like spoilers, here are some spoiler pics (http://community.livejournal.com/greys_daily/32997.html#cutid1) from the May 10th episode.

In white: It appears Adele does come to the hospital for something, so maybe the Inquirer has some partial truths in those spoilers posted above.

Private Practice, the spin-off, looks predictable. "Who's the red head? She's hot." So what "Mc" name will he be now?

I doubt there will be any "Mc" names in the spinoff (unless you listen to Shonda in the podcasts...I'm sure she will give them nicknames). That's too juvenile for Addison. She even teased Izzie about it once and asked her how embarrassing that was for her to be calling a grown man "McDreamy."

Pookie-- thanks for the answer to who slapped Meredith. And, as usual, for all the cool stuff you're finding! :)

JamBray

04-29-2007, 04:05 PM

I just hate how Derek was treating Mer. One minute he's all lovey dovey with her, and then the next he's contemplating a break up? Just decide! I mean, wouldn't it be the reasonable thing to sit down with her and talk about all of this stuff rather than shut her out for no reason (to her) and be all cold? Men!

I don't think that George is going to go anywhere, and maybe I'm wrong, but don't he and Izzie make out again next week? That's what I thought I saw in the previews.

I really loved the end scene with Burke and Christina. I just thought it was so great how she picked the same cake that he wanted, even though to her it was no big deal.
As for Alex, I dunno...I think Ava comment about Addison wanting "husband material" and a man who wants to BBQ and play with kids, maybe got to him. I think it freaked him out and he's still at that "do I want to be single or do I want to settle down" questioning life stage
I agree with this, since it seemed like he was into Addison until Ava piped up. I'm wondering if something will transpire between them at some point?
Derek is a little less McDreamy after 1) saying crap to Merideth 2)being shown with his shirt off.

LOL!

I thought she picked the Red Velvet because Izzy told her to. Did I catch that wrong?

I only remember that Izzy told Burke that the red velvet one was perfect. I don't remember her saying anything to Christina about it. :confused:

It was one of the best parts of the show IMO! I love that Burke is all into the wedding stuff. Shows his sensitive side. ;)

04-30-2007, 07:12 AM

I did, too. She gave Izzie and George the piece of paper to write down their favorites and I just figured the majority was red velvet. I didn't think Cristina came up with that on her own.

I can't be annoyed with Christina for being an anti-bride. She never claimed to be all into wedding stuff. In fact, she made it perfectly clear that it wasn't her thing. I actually keep getting annoyed with Burke that after Christina specifically told him that she wasn't into the whole wedding thing, he keeps forcing down her throat and then getting pissy when, true to form, she's not into it :confused: It's not as though she's ever made him think that she was into being "The Bride" and now she's backtracking. To me, it shows a complete lack of respect for Christina on Burke's part.

I gotta agree with you on this one...and I don't consider it a show of his "sensitive side" as another poster wrote; I think it shows more of his control issues. God is in the details ("...this day, this woman, this cake..." like it all has to be perfect. Blech!

udsweetpea

04-30-2007, 10:25 AM

RE: red velvet cake- I thought Cristina picked it on her own, and it didn't seem as though she was going with the popular choice. She just said "I liked the red one". If she was doing what Izzie told her, I'm sure she would have said "I liked the red velvet one" and be more specific.

Re the Nat'l Enquiere spoilers:

As much of an ass IW was and all that brouhaha w/ the comments, I really hope Burke & OMalley don't get written out. Those are two very well written characters.

I don't think we the audience should be deprived just because someone in real life is a jerk. :(

Yeah I'm hoping Burke & Yang do get married. It would bring an interesting dynamic to the show. It's too bad Mer/Der isn't going that route. The Ross & Rachel redux is a bit much! :rolleyes:

To me it seemed like she decided on her own, especially since we didn't see anything about what the consensus was (regardless of what Izzie told Burke), and like udsweetpea said she merely said "I like the red one."

We are supposed to have some really crappy weather coming through here tonight and my husband just called me from Cincinnati to tell me about it and all I said was "Well, there's 2 hours of Grey's tonight...the power had better not go out!" Forget the tornadoes that have been part of this nasty storm system and the fact that I'm here by myself...I just want my power so I can see my Grey's! :D :rolleyes:

That is so funny because we lost power on Tues. night and I was so happy that it didn't interupt any of my shows :o The first thing I thought about was if there was anything to tivo that night and that I was happy there wasn't!

Knowing Christina, I don't find this strange because Burke wanted to have a big wedding. It's probably obvious that he wants George to be his BM or GM. Christina, for lack of bodies to match up the GMs probably drafted Callie.

If you recall originally, she just wanted Mer at their civil wedding (which isn't happening).

mrs_pell

05-03-2007, 04:17 PM

Crap...things aren't looking so hot right now! There are severe thunderstorm warnings out and tornado watches/warnings. Maybe if it just hurries up and gets here the power can go out and come back on by 8! :)

(oh, and I am actually a little more worried about the actual tornadoes that have been spotted not too far away from here now instead of just worrying about the power. Not really crazy about being here by myself...I need to call my little brother and make him come over and stay with me! ;) :o ).

eta: shit....now we're under a tornado warning...

mrs_pell

Thanks BumbleB. Our tornado warning has expired, and now we're just under a severe thunderstorm warning. It's raining like hell, but so far no power loss...just our satellite for a few minutes. It's weird, because I'm usually not scared of storms at all, and never used to be when I was single, but now that I'm married I guess I've grown more dependent on my hubby than what I thought! ;) I don't like being alone during them anymore! :o

Anyway, I'm excited about tonight's Grey's, so still hoping my power stays on! There are some areas in Dallas that are out of power from the same storm system and they say they may not get it back for a week! :eek:

05-03-2007, 09:42 PM

Well, I'll be the dissenting opinion so far and say that I really enjoyed the spinoff stuff. I would have enjoyed it more if they had done an hour of Grey's and an hour of Addison's spinoff. I enjoyed the writing (not bad for a pilot), the characters (and the dynamics between them), and the storylines. We saw just enough to keep us wondering about all these new characters. When I first heard about the spinoff, I wanted no part of it, but now I'm thinking I'll watch it. I'm hoping it's one way to slim down the GA cast and let us focus more on our core characters. I just wish the writers would put half as much effort back into Grey's Anatomy.

seapod

05-03-2007, 10:53 PM

PookiePrincess, your not the only one that this new show is growing on. I also enjoy the storyline and the characters. Its interesting, however I do want a bit more about wedding planning on GA:)

I liked the spin off a lot more than I thought I would. I liked the chemistry between everyone and that everyone is more like equals. I think it's good that they changed it up from the interns/resident/attendings setting so it didn't end up like the CSI/L&O formula.

I thought they should have started out with more of GA though.

ETA - I was so excited to see Francie & Sark back together again! I just need Sydney Bristow to pop in for some acupuncture.

05-04-2007, 01:24 AM

Tonights show was SO disappointing. I was totally expecting more GA, and less of the spin off, which they tried to bring story line into too soon and create interest (which did not work IMHO). I do not think that we will be watching the spinoff, even though we liked Addison on GA. DH just could not stand the spinoff stuff because it was such "chick flick" material- his words, not mine. ;)

nekopie76

05-04-2007, 05:31 AM

I have to say that I liked the spin off. But ... I wanted to see Grey's not the spin off. Like a PP said if they did a hour of Grey's and a hour of the spin-off, I would have been happy. For the most part, I was bored (the first time in 3 seasons) and very disappointed for the lack of Grey's.

Regardless of what was said before that kiss, it was HOT!!!

And what about Susan dying? I kind of figured it out in the beginning that she would die and that would be the reason why her dad would slap her. I wonder how her running away from Derek will effect their relationship.

jesseybell

05-04-2007, 07:31 AM

After the tongue comment from Tim Daly, DH and I just looked at each other and wanted to vomit.

I would have loved if "Sark" was one of the main characters - I loved him in Alias.

It was nice to see "Cooper" not play a bad guy like in Prison Break.

I could get into the new show, but leave Addison in Seattle. I don't need her there to watch the new show. I don't see the new show lasting really long though - it seems alot like other shows in the past that have gotten canceled.

I actually liked the spin-off portion better than the actual GA story-lines. If Grey's keeps pissing me off, I could actually see myself watching the spin-off instead.

Also, WTF with Mere's dad slapping her?!? I don't care if he was in shock/grieving...Derrick should've whipped his butt - or at least said something.

05-04-2007, 07:55 AM

I have to agree with those who liked the spin-off. I agree that I'd have liked to see an hour of Grey's, then an hour of that, but I did like it. I thought it was good and I liked the new characters. I thikn I'll like the change!

sparkle&shine

05-04-2007, 08:38 AM

I din't mind the spin-off and probably would not have watched it if it was alone BUT it felt like they were forcing it down our throats.

Like it was California California Kiss Blah Blah- Oh yeah and Susan is dead. Not much of a build up and they didn't even show them working on her. Of course I read the spoilers so I knew it was going to happen but sheesh.

kam

05-04-2007, 09:02 AM

I haven't watched the whole thing yet (fell asleep), but the cast alone was worth the spinoff scenes. What a cast! Yummy oops I mean what a fine compilation of great actors!

BumbleB

05-04-2007, 09:39 AM

I'm not decided on the spin off yet. I'd watch it again, I do really like the cast. I'm just not sure the storylines would stay meaty enough.

I feel the same, a whole hour of Greys would have been better and made more sense. I had a really hard time keeping focus enough to really understand what was going on with all the scene switching.

I really wish they could solve some of the mystery with Ava - maybe Alex will make that his task in the future.

I don't know what it is, like Addison said maybe it is just the Hot Elevators at Seattle Grace, but I thought the kiss between George and Izzy was pretty steamy. I'm still not seeing much involvment with Callie so it is going to feel kind of fake to me when she finds out and all he!! breaks loose. I wish they would pull her more into the whole story line or just get rid of her - she still seems like a guest star to me. :rolleyes:

Sha259

05-04-2007, 09:39 AM

I am also another one who didn't completely mind the spin off. Though I was greatly disappointed in the LACK of actual Grey's time in the whole of that 2 hour period! I mean, I understand that they were trying to do alot of character development for the pilot of Addy's show, but I was expecting alot more from the wedding and Mer/Mer Dad storylines. I was dissappointed on that end as well. :(

And am I the only one that thought that the surfer's interest in Addy's friend was icky? I mean, he looks like he can't be older than 22 and she claimed that she is 38. Add a few years she could be his mom. :eek:

westamp

05-04-2007, 09:57 AM

I'm sorry to see that they killed off Susan (although I suspected as much when I saw the spoilers). They could have mined a lot of stories w/ Mer's other family but instead we get the same will they or won't they rethread with Mer/Der.

That annoys me to no end. Let them be happy dammit!

Me too. I thought he was kind of fugly. Nothing I would be dreaming about.

So McDreamy/McSteamy/Burke and Addison are all supposed to be in there late 30s? And they've all (okay, guess not McSteamy) have been involved with 26 year-olds? Seems a little creepy to me. I thought they were supposed to be more in their early 30s.

laura

05-04-2007, 11:21 AM

I thought the guy who plays Mer's dad looked pretty deranged and/or not quite lucid the entire show last night; he really annoys me, no wonder Mer's mom divorced him. I do like Mer, though she isn't my favorite character, but for the love of god, enough angst for her life at the moment! I mean first her dog dies, then she drowns, then her mom dies, now her stepmom dies? As the premise of the show is that this is happening all in 1 year, that's just too much to happen to 1 character.

As for the spinoff, I'm not sure. My husband was saying "this is so stupid" the entire time :p, but I did think there were some funny moments and yum-men too. However, it just seems so hopelessly predictable that I'm not sure I would be able to watch it - like Taye Diggs and Naomi on again/off again angst and Cooper/curly haired woman therapist should they hook up, should they not hook up angst, and broken widow doctor who will fall in love with Addison angst - blech. I mean maybe it won't go that way but that seemed pretty heavily the way it was leaning last night and that is just unnecessary IMO. It's like Grey's II w/ characters who are pretty/nice, but that I can relate less to than the Grey's characters.

Yuck on that surfer guy - that whole scenario grossed me out.

Also - minor pet peeve, but there is no way Addison would have gotten all of her fertility work done in approximately 1 day. That was a suspension of reality that I was surprised to see so drastically for some reason.

LeslieR

05-04-2007, 11:21 AM

I didn't dig the spin-off parts. Perhaps I would have liked it more if it was an hour of GA and an hour of the spin-off. I dunno. I felt very empty after watching the whole thing. Like I didn't get my usual fill.

ETA: That kiss completely grossed me out. What he said, the close up of her lips moving around to accomodate his tongue. blech.

I also did not think surfer guy was all that hot.

Oh. My. Gosh. This is bugging the crud out of me too! Come on, let the first "year" end already!

I also agree that Mer's dad didn't look too lucid, but I think he did a terrific job of acting and I felt really sorry for him in that last scene.

The kiss between Izzie and George was so hot that I had to rewind and watch again. Wow. :p

The spoilers for next week look great. Mc Dreamy is drinking with a chick at the bar and Mer doesn't look too happy (although I can't blame him after she keeps pushing him away). And I felt so sorry for the Chief when he was yelling for help while Adele was on the floor. I just love him.

So sad there are only 2 episodes left. I feel like the season just started!!

LOL, that would make me want to watch the spin-off! I was super disappointed when I realized Sark was not going to be a regular character. I loved him on Alias! The surfer guy was not hot to me. And the line "I'm going to kiss you with tongue" made me want to throw up.

It's so cheap for them to mix the shows together and FORCE you to watch the spin-off.

ahavnes- I couldn't follow the part about Susan in the hospital, I thought they mentioned a heart murmer at one point, and she had hiccups that wouldn't stop. I had a hard time with all the switching back and forth with the stories.

As for Callie as a bridesmaid, Christina and Burke's moms were in town and she was trying to make them happy. I think she asked Callie because she was another body to stand in so to speak. I also think she sensed Callie would understand that it was the family making her do it. That was a pretty funny moment. I can't believe Callie went along with it - especially when one of the moms asked if they were friends.

I liked the spin-off, but like others have said, they could have done it differently. I'd really like to have seen more Greys. I did like the scene with the surfer guy. He wasn't totally hot, but it was funny.

I was so disappointed in the show! I wanted to watch Grey's Anatomy, not the spin-off. What was the point of killing off Susan? And the only time Thatcher Grey gets a set of balls is to slap his daughter? Give me a break! Also the surfer dude did absolutely nothing for me. I've seen better looking guys at the local mall. Honestly, this is the first time I've ever felt like I could have turned the TV off and went to bed.

I left well before the first hour was over....couldn't stand it!
No surprise to hear they killed off the stepmom; sort of saw that coming with her being in the clinic. But what did she die of?
Oh, and the one line I did like, a lot was Callie's "...I'm not wearin' a bow on my ass"! And Christina responded "She's got the right attitude"! :)

He slapped her when she told him Susan didn't make it. I think Susan died of complications of the hiccup problem which had turned into infection which had turned into her needing surgery. They (TPTB) were basically just looking for a way to kill her.

Definitely not my favorite episode, but I am actually looking forward to the spinoff (which I am pretty sure has not been officially picked up, but come on, we know it will). I LOVE Addison. And even though Tim Daly had some corny lines, their chemistry was great.

Great Cast Though:
-Surfer Dude is Piz on Veronica Mars right now. Who knew he had that bod?
-Sark and Francie? I guess Weiss will need to come over from Heroes and maybe a little bit of Vaughn.
-Judging Amy
-Paul Adelstein from Prison Break (also know as husband to Gilmore Girls Paris Gellar)

Was NOT impressed with the Susan death, it seemed to just be shoved in there with no real story. Remember her in St. Elmo's Fire?

05-05-2007, 06:32 AM

There were parts I liked and parts I didn't. I really didn't get why McDreamy didn't go in the house. And the previews annoyed me-I know it's a tv show and I know that in real life relationships have ups and downs-but I just don't get what they are trying to do with Meredith and Derek's relationship. He's so in love with her that his marriage fails and then they are happy for about 2 minutes and now he's ready to bail on the relationship.

I'm assuming that McDreamy got mad that she was drinking...she seems to drink when she has problems she can't handle in her life.

That was my thought. Instead of talking to him about her problems, Meredith went home with her friends, got out the tequila, and pretended nothing was wrong. Typical Meredith.

JBB

05-05-2007, 08:35 AM

I guess that makes sense about why McDreamy didn't go in-but honestly he had been kind of being a jerk to her so he could be a little understanding that the day was hard for her and he could have gone in.

05-05-2007, 09:30 AM

They did say that there's a clause in Kate Walsh's contract that if her spin-off doesn't workout, she will go back to Grey's. I would imagine that's why she's doing it, it's a no-lose situation for her.

Txfish

05-05-2007, 10:19 AM

Spin-off: blech. I called it when the show started and I saw the cast -- they hired a super-power cast to try to make this a viable show. At best, it's going to be an ok show. Now, I did love the relationship with Addy, Naomi and Sam -- but I'm not interested in the rest of them being intimates. And Tim Daly just grossed me out. However, I love the "an internet hooker stole his car" storyline. LOL

And, is there really a test that can determine how many viable eggs a woman has in her ovaries? I couldn't believe they'd run one set of tests and say, sorry, no hope. Seems like there's a therapy for almost everything fertility-related...

Yes, we needed MUCH more GA. I'm so interested in Ava, and Burktina's wedding (so loved the mothers showing up.) SO not interested in seeing George and Izzy continue their nasty clandestine affair.

The line I kept waiting for: was totally expecting Callie to corner Christina somewhere and hiss at her, "I gave you the cards!! And now I'm a bridesmaid?"

Thatch slapping Mer -- wow. I cannot BELIEVE no one did anything about it, and cannot figure out WTH is Derrick's problem??!!

05-05-2007, 01:36 PM

I'm clearly in the minority here but I like the episode! I watched it online just now so maybe the lack of commericials helped with the enjoyment. Am I the only one who cried my eyes out when Meredith told her dad that his wife didn't make it? He just seems so helpless without her. I hadn't seen any of the spoilers so him slapping Mere came out of the blue but only made me cry more because you could see the pain he was going through.

I didn't think I was going to want to watch the spinoff but now I think I just might. Except PLEASE replace the suffer dude with someone who is actually hot. Yuck!

lbs27

05-05-2007, 01:44 PM

Hmm..interesting ideas on why Derek didn't go into Mer's house. I thought it was because he saw her with her friends helping her and didn't think she needed him. Or that he thought her friends were better for her in that moment. I totally didn't get the he's mad at her for drinking thing, but that's interesting.

I had actually come in here to read everyone's review of the "two hour event", before I watched it, so I was afraid I'd be disappointed by the episode. But, I actually didn't mind it. I'm not sure how I feel about the spinoff, but I'm sure I'll watch a few episodes of it because I like the cast. I'm in the minority, because I thought the Tim Daly thing was kind of hot--not the I'm going to kiss you with tongue line, but the one after where he said I'm going to kiss you so you feel it. I have a really bad cold though, so maybe I'm just feeling "schmoopy". :)

Oh, and I'm in the minority about surfer dude. While I loved the scene with the women watching him, I didn't think he was anything special!

Oh, and does anyone know who the woman who played the wife of the husband with the sex drive problems was? She looked so familiar, but I can't place her?!

I agree. Why the hell would Meredith have to be the one to deliver that news? Did she insist on doing it? I can't imagine as tenuous as that relationship is, that she would want to. Bailey was the one who was her primary caregiver, I can't see her even ALLOWING Meredith to be the one to say that.

And no one said anything when she got slapped. Nice. It seems that is exactly the reason why, IRL, doctors are not allowed to care for their own loved ones.

ETA - I was so excited to see Francie & Sark back together again! I just need Sydney Bristow to pop in for some acupuncture.It took me a while to realize it was Sark without his sexy accent (but I know he's really just a plain'ol American *sigh*) I'd love some Sydney and Vaughn!!

...the cast alone was worth the spinoff scenes. What a cast! Yummy oops I mean what a fine compilation of great actors!OMG! I so agree with this. I think I'd watch anything that Tim Daly is in. I think he's hot. I loved Private Eyes (or whatever that show was) last year or so ago and was so bummed when they ditched it and didn't even have that good of a reason. And well, Taye Diggs is just SO droolicious! http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/drool2.gif

That was my thought. Instead of talking to him about her problems, Meredith went home with her friends, got out the tequila, and pretended nothing was wrong. Typical Meredith.But sadly, he doesn't know that, he's just assuming it. All three of them had a bad day and wanted to drink, not just her. It kinda sucks that he didn't at least try to talk with her.

I agree. Why the hell would Meredith have to be the one to deliver that news? <snip>And no one said anything when she got slapped. Nice. It seems that is exactly the reason why, IRL, doctors are not allowed to care for their own loved ones.yeah, this got me wondering as well. I'd have thought that Bailey or the Chief would break the news. I was actually surprised that they even allowed her into the OR.

Now as for the show itself, I didn't think it was that bad. Mind you, I didn't think it was a "2 hour special" of GA either. So expecting more GA, I have to say that I was disappointed in the storylines and in particular how they ditched Mer's step mom in such a jump-the-shark kind of way. Lame.

While I didn't like it being billed as GA, I did think that they did a good job editing the two shows together. I'll give her show a chance, but mostly because I like all the actors, more so than because I like the storylines. The story lines seem so been there, done that only with stairwells instead of elevators and sun instead of rain :rolleyes:

wander_woman

05-05-2007, 05:30 PM

I was totally not into the spin-off. I thought it was really boring. Good actors but they weren't given much to work with. Is it the same set of writers as GA? Sure didn't seem like it to me. GA is dark and smart and the characters have depth. Private practice was a bunch of good looking people saying completely asinine lines. The characters all seemed like caricatures and the story line was totally predictable. Aren't there enough shows with 30-somethings who refuse to grow up and just take turns sleeping with one another? I guess I'm just disappointed because I really wanted to like it. I love Addison. I just love the wry, bitchy, troubled, kick-ass surgeon Addison on GA, not the loopy, lovey-dovey Addison on PP.

I liked the spin-off. I think it has potential. I didn't expect a lot of plot because they were just establishing the characters and their relationships. I'd definitely give it a chance if they move forward with it.

Did any of you read this?

The New Modern Woman, Ambitious and Feeble (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/05/arts/television/05grey.html?em&ex=1178596800&en=8d0f84dbe1a28da1&ei=5087%0A)
New York Times
It’s time to play the blame game.

Everything wrong with “Grey’s Anatomy” and its soon-to-be spun spinoff is the fault of “Ally McBeal.”

This article *really* annoyed me. These characters aren't meant to be our role models. They are supposed to be entertaining and titillating. There is a big difference, I think. :rolleyes:

I was just coming in to ask where I know the woman who wanted the baby in the spin off part and then it came to me. Everwood. She was the neighbor.

Anyway, it's not that I hated the spin off, I just thought it ws crappy to force us to watch it by stealing Grey's time. I would have been more open to it, if it followed GA. But don't get me all excited for a 2 hour episode that really was not 2 hours of GA. I feel like I was boonswaggled!

I'd really like to know why Burke and Cristina are getting married the day after their big test. Once it turned into a "wedding" and not just an appointment at the city hall, there's no way it would be planned for the day AFTER their major test! But, oh well...it makes for more drama I guess...

Oh man, only 2 new episodes left--I've been in denial I guess! That first preview with Christina and the girls looks cute and of course the actual episode preview was great. What was that crap with McDreamy in the bar, are you kidding me?!

Ok this is a complete shot in the dark but do you think that girl w/ McDreamy is Thatcher & Susan's older daughter - the one that went away to med school? Now that would be an interesting development. I just hope he doesn't sleep with her! :p

About the spinoff... I didn't mind it, but I was annoyed that it cut into GA time. Unfortunately I think the show is doomed to not make it because of Tim Daly. I really like him, but when was the last time one of his shows actually lasted a whole season?

I wasn't crazy about the spin-off, and felt like they were sort of trying to make the characters very much like the ones on Grey's (snarky attitude, Drs thinking they're hot stuff, etc). I don't see it lasting, and I won't be watching. I also hated how we only got about 15 minutes worth of Grey's, and the switching back and forth was confusing and made it hard to get into the show.

And surfer boy? Not hot.

Natasha

05-08-2007, 01:11 PM

I just finished watching it. I had no idea Mer's step mom was going to die, so that scene had me literally bawling. Thinking about it makes me tear up. Poor Mer. I really don't feel bad for Derrick. Mer was really trying to make an effort with him, and has lost 2 moms in, what, a month? Two months? And had a near death experience. Methinks he should cut her some slack.

tlew12778

05-09-2007, 03:55 PM

Well at least with watching the show so late after it aired means I only have to wait another day for a real ep...

Mer's mom died of sepsis. Basically infection of the blood. I think it was caused by a perforation from that tube they stuck in her esophagus to prevent too much stomach acid from refluxing up.

Mer's dad was just reacting. I'm not shocked they had Mer tell him. I mean, he would probably have been looking for her reaction first anyway. I am shocked that she was alone and everyone else just sort of backed off.

Re: the spinoff (if that's it), I felt like they put too much baggage into one episode.

Thinking about it more, it makes sense that they are in their upper 30s bc Addison has so many fellowships behind her. She's surgical so that is a min of 5 years plus she is OB/gyn and neonatology. Plus med school is 3 years... so it would add up. I always sort of thought that most of the residents were non-traditional. Christina definitely is since she already has a PhD. I thought that Izzy was also since she modeled but she also said she was 27 in one of the last eps. We don't know what Karev did before. And Mer has to be older if Thatcher said her sister is starting residency. If Mer is PGY1 (first year resident) how can her sister only be one year younger? Her dad left when she was 5 right?

I thought the tongue comment was hilarious. I mean, it was retarded but hilarious all at the same time. I don't think I've laughed like that at TV in a while.

honeygirl

05-09-2007, 10:30 PM

I liked the spin-off and was surprised that it interested me.

One of my friends works at Indiana University in their research department and just sent me links about a documentary called "Heart to Heart" that Patrick Dempsey narrates. Here's the description of it:

Heart to Heart is the main feature in this set of documentaries about remarkable children fighting against the odds. Bailey Hunsberger is a young girl who was born with a diseased heart. By the age of 12, her heart is beginning to shut down, and with no known cure for her ailment, her best option for survival is a treatment that was developed in Germany, but rarely allowed to be practiced in the United States by the Federal Drug Administration.

Bailey’s doctors at Riley Children’s Hospital work to obtain the FDA’s special approval to use the “Berlin Heart” on Bailey. It’s complicated surgery, and will require Bailey to live in a hospital room for six months before the outcome of the procedure can be determined.
Actor Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy) hosts and narrates this gripping story of hope, life and death – all shot right here in Indianapolis.

Anyway, on the 2nd link, there are clips of the movie and then there's also a clip of Bailey getting to meet "Dr. McDreamy," which was a surprise to her. It's really cute! :)

I think westamp's guess about the chick in the bar being Mer's other half sister was correct. She was dressed in black and had a really bad day. I also read on Ausiello that she might be contracted for 13 epis next season, so I bet it's Lexie and she becomes a new intern at SGH.

AND, I think all of Ausiello's spoilers from that list we had a while back are going to be true. I'll have to look back and see what all they were, but most of them have happened.

ETA: Nope, I'm confusing all of the spoilers. Here's the list of Ausiello's plot twists:
After breaking things off with Cristina, Burke will transfer to another hospital.
• Callie will reveal she's pregnant.
• Izzie and George will hook up.
• Izzie will be reunited with her daughter, and it's someone we've already seen on the show.
• Addison will be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness.
• Derek and Meredith's relationship will hit a roadblock when one of her exes shows up on her doorstep with one thing on his mind.

I still think Burke will break things off with Cristina. We know two of the others are true and they've sort of touched on versions of the others (Callie wanting to have a baby, Addison not being able to have kids, MerDer's roadblock but it's not an "ex."

So what did everyone think? I thought Callie was going to kick Izzie's a$$ in the kitchen! I actually enjoyed the scenes with George and Izzie. I also loved that when Mer asked Alex if he was going to give her a pep talk he said no. I know she is going thorough something traumatic, but it's so like her to not realize that other people are going through some pretty heavy stuff too.

I missed the first 20 minutes, so maybe I wasn't in the groove, but I didn't love this episode. I'm getting tired of Meredith. I know she's been through a lot, but I enjoy the episodes where they're all interacting with each other and being good friends a lot more than the ones where Mer spend 85% of the episode staring off into space and being all blah. :p I mean, I know she has reasons this time, but it's like it's been this way for so long that it almost doesn't matter that this time there's a reason, KWIM?

I liked the George/Callie/Izzie stuff and am interested in how it all plays out. I don't think George is going to leave, but it would be weird if Callie was chief resident and George transferred, no? I also liked the scene in the bar where Derek and Mark said they had already seen Addison nekkid and Burke was like, I haven't! :D

Next week looks good--I can't believe it's the season finale, dammit.

Oh, and does anyone else think George's hair looks good lately? He lost the weird piecey thing in the front and I think it looks great. I never really found him attractive looks-wise, but lately he looks pretty cute. But, I'm still a McDreamy girl. ;)

Aw crap but I can see good stories coming out of this (like a vindictive thingy). I don't care as long as at the end of the day, Mer&Der are still together. No Ross & Rachel redux please.

Oh yeah, I do like George's hair now. It was kinda yucky (what's with the bangs) awhile back but now it's much better!).

I came up with the half sister speculation all on my own, then read it here, so I'm sure it's right - the woman who offered to buy Derek a drink at the bar is Meredith's other sister, the one who we haven't met yet.

Patting myself on the back.:D

OK, so if Mercy West is such a crap posting, WHY on earth was Callie so excited to see that Goerge got in? (Although I do see her point about not already knowing how his day was LOL)

I was really hoping that Izzie would try to get the spot at Mercy West and trasnfer instead. Blech -- I'm so tired of the triangle with her and George already. I hate it. And I wish Mer would have phrased it differently in the kitchen (when yeah, Callie should have gotten in her face) -- wish she'd said "I know you miss Denny" or something instead of putting it out there that anyone else was also questioning just who she was talking about.

Ava and her memory: sheesh. First, Alex -- stop yelling at her. And then for the love of pete, would someone point out how there needs to be some financial responsibility here if the girl knows who she is?

Still dying to know, what kind of lunatic plans a wedding for the day after a major stressful, sleep-deprived event? It's TEST DAY, DAMMIT! :)

Note to Derek: you're being an ass. And if you're all bent out of shape because she didn't come running to you with her problems, then please consider: you JUST jumped down her throat for being so needy. And you've tuned her out. So WHY would she come to you for comfort when she has a bunch of people who aren't flaking on her circling the wagons because they know what she needs? Gah! She does actually have some emotional stuf going on that would drop almost anybody to their knees, so cut her some slack and see how she pulls through it before dismissing her as "not swimming". Oh, and BTW -- that scene with Mer and her dad? That was BRUTAL.

I really like the friendship between Addie and Callie -- thought their little exchange at the end re: Callie being pg was great.

I didn't realize that Mercy West wasn't all that good until Miranda said something, so thought Callie's excitement was in part due to the fact that George got into a tough program, as well as the fact that he wouldn't be around Izzie anymore. No matter though, as we know he won't be leaving.

I though Izzie was going to suggest leaving as well, but I guess not. I was angry at her though for being so blatantly obvious in the kitchen about who she was referring to. And Mer's question about it being Denny just made it all the more apparent that it wasn't. At that moment I felt really badly for Callie.

I loved the scene in the bar where Burke said he hadn't seen Addison naked. :D

I couldn't agree with you more. He pushes her away and then gets all up in arms when she doesn't immediately run to him. Here's a thought...how about going to her Derek? First she gets slapped by her father, and blamed for Susan's death, then she's told not to come to the funeral and again blamed. Give her a break and go to her! MEN! At least he didn't have a drink with that woman. That would have really pissed me off.

I did love how the Chief was with Mer though. He's such a great guy. And poor Adele. I wonder if she'll lose the baby?
