This episode was shown at 7:30pm in the West coast... that's family hour. I thought they already got away with a little bit with the shower scene and strip scene with Alex and Izzie.

It was shown at 10:00 p.m. in Seattle.

Need more shower scenes... please.

That aside, I liked the episode and I'm not going to get caught up in the nitpicks. Grey's is one of the shows that I really am glad I have a Tivo for.

It was shown at 10:00 p.m. in Seattle.
For KGO San Francisco, it was scheduled for 7pm and aired at 7:30 due to the length of the game.

Any leeway they can get from the censors would be better applied to the shower scene than the blood in the OR. :)
Well…………..put in those terms, I am in complete agreement ! :D

For KGO San Francisco, it was scheduled for 7pm and aired at 7:30 due to the length of the game.

Seattle stations are not at all reluctant to move things around. For years MNF was delayed an hour so that more people would be home to watch it. And SNL was delayed a half hour so that the station could run it's own comedy show.

okay...so I really enjoy this show and tonights episode was great. But am I alone in thinking that the HD video quality tonight was no big deal? It looked good, but not great. It was quite soft and reminded me of dvd more than HD. Last weeks episode looked crisper to me...anyone else agree or disagree?

Smith,

I agree with you. The picture seemed very soft. The closeup of the faces had a lot of issues with going in and out of focus.

I guess the glitch last night was exclusive to Charlotte, or this thread would be much more active.

During the climax last night, our audio was replaced with the audio from Extreme Home Makeover. It started coming back from the commercial break prior to the event and was fixed after coming back from the following commercial break. :mad:

I'm in the Mooresville area (view ABC-HD via OTA), and couldn't believe the timing of this audio mess-up!!! :mad:

I lost some time switching to Adelphia cable, as my DVR was recording two other broadcasts, so I had to stop one of them.

Did the bomb squad guy presumably die? I couldn't really tell given the lack of audio and the time-delay in getting back to the SD cable-broadcast.

There's one thing that just makes this totally unbelievable for me. The two men made the Bazooka or whatever. When the accident happened you mean to tell me that the other guy didnt have sense enough to realize that there was an explosive device inside his friend?????? And he didnt tell anyone when the paramedics showed up?????

Yeah, he was pink mist. Another guy was standing right in front of him and he also disappeared.

I knew as soon as she followed him into the hall was going to happen... The car accident guy was gone for like 5 mins.. but they brought him back with no permeant damage.. :confused:

Thanks, guys. I'm a physician, and a have gotten used to suspending normal judgment when watching shows like this.... :rolleyes:

I don't normally watch this show, but the post super-bowl episode sucked me in, and my OCD mandated that I finish this 2-parter! :o

I thought this episode was better than the one after the super bowl.

That sucks, the audio for that explosion was pretty good.

I thought this episode was wonderful, too. I watched my DVR recording of it after having previously watched this week's episode of Desperate Housewives. Despite this weeks' DH episode having been a LOT better than the preceding couple, I thought it not to have been in the same world with this week's GA show. GA has the best writing on TV, it seems to me.

I watched this show because like many others here, I caught the episode after the Super Bowl and wanted to see how it ends. I've come to the conclusion that I'll never be watching this show again.... it made no sense what-so-ever to me.

OK, the whole time they're so against leaving the guy with the bomb in him alone to bleed out because of course he'll die. So much so that that other chick risks her life by putting her hand in him when the other woman freaks and runs away.

Now, flash ahead... she successfully removes the bomb and hands it over to the officer then once he reaches his buddies BOOM, they're all toast.

Now we come back from commercial and everyone acts as if nothing even happened. Everyone is overjoyed that they saved the idiot who built the bomb in the first places' life. No one seems to even care that two or three police officers just got blown to shreds. So one life was spared, but a bunch of cops just died... ok? Was it really worth it to save that man? He should be going straight to jail.

There were some inconsistancies in the story line, but if you have seen more than just the past 2 episodes you might like it a little more. From the way everyone was reacting I thought that the bomb going off was just "in her head" until the shower scene.

But it was all worth it to hear nazi say "Mr. O'Malley, stop looking at my va-jaja."

That's what puzzled me, and made me wonder (above) if the bomb squad guy(s) had in fact been killed. There was absolutely no mention of them after the blast (at least that I saw/heard), which really is inexcusable.

The last two episodes ("supposedly" the cliffhanger, best episode of the year types) of the show were absolutely the worst so far. The authors were really sloppy all over the place, and the whole scenario was silly to the nth degree.

Comedy and character interaction is the USP of this show, and they failed badly to ape ER with these episodes. WTH was the reason to insert all these suspense/action episodes when all the seriousness of the situation was diluted by trying to make funny antics with Izzy, Alex, George and Bailey?? After a "supposedly" heroic display of courage from Derrick and Burke in staying back to save the lives of their patients, the sequences with Izzy and Alex, and George and Bailey have the funny "it's a small world" type music, totally screwing up whatever seriousness was built up till then.

So, they have a bomb scare in the hospital, and almost everybody stays in the hospital like heros - yet still the only people working are the lead characters? What's the point? So, the Chief of Surgery evacuates the ORs, but he still stays in his office in spite of the bomb scare and the talk about all the how all the oxygen lines in and near the ORs might blow up if the bomb exploded, and everyone just sits in the hospital crying?? The CoS has a heart attack, and they put him in a bed, and say they can't send him home or to another hospital until his "blood work" comes back??

The heroic "Dr. Yang" stays back to help save the life of Bailey's husband on the operation table, even though there is a bomb waiting to go off next door. But the same heroic doctor does not even have the sense not to distract Grey with girl talk when they were moving the patient out of the OR? Fecking insane writing!! The two girls start talking as if they were in a bar talking about their last night's date.

Oh, and after the bomb squad blows up, cut to the scene after the commercial break, and everyone is just happy and dandy that it's all over? This is absolutely the worst piece of writing I've seen in any show lately (apart from Threshold). I felt absolutely no emotion during the whole crisis.

The best thing to come out of this episode is that Derrick started realizing that his wife still loves him, and he is reluctant to pursue his escapades with Grey.

That's what puzzled me, and made me wonder (above) if the bomb squad guy(s) had in fact been killed.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I also would have thougt that in a situation like this that there would be some kind of bomb-proof (or maybe bomb-resistant) box that would have been right in the room; for the bomb to go in as soon as it was removed; as opposed to having to walk down the hall with it.

I agree these two eps writing was a bit far-fetched; I assume that this was to try an take advantage of the Superbowl lead-in to hook new/different viewers.

Not sure why they passed on the opportunity to show the others' reactions when the bomb blew - particularly: Dr. Shepherd, the Chief and the bonehead's wife.

Was hoping for Dr. Yang to blow up. I like Sandra Oh, but the Yang chacter is getting more and more annoying. She keeps to herself the fact that Grey is now with the bomb - then at a critical point in Shep's surgery, she tells him "It's Merideth". What an idiot.

I agree with you on this. Not only was that bad timing, the guy on the table went into arrest when she said that. :confused:

Yeah, what happened to the robot thingy they use on all the other cop shows?

I too hope she lights up, sometime soon. But, I think there is a reason about the timing of her breaking it to Sheppard that "It's Meredith". Before that, Yang talks to Meredith about how Burke told her that he loved her "while he thought she was asleep".. and that she wanted him to know that she did too before Burke might blow up operating on the bomber man. She says that she wants to tell him that, or he would die without ever knowing.

So, she walks into Sheppard's OR, and then decides to tell that "It's Meredith" before he/she/they blow up. I could see how it makes sense, but only just.

My theory is that _Alias_ had some left over episodes that GA purchased for these two silly episodes.

If they keep this up, I'll be reduced to watching just "reality" shows.

I am also growing tired of having to see Meredith's blank stares with a tear down her cheek, wondering about things.. and that she seems to have all the troubles in the world. The episode before SB, where they revealed that Izzy had a daughter was much much better than the shambles that were the last two episodes, trying to ape ER. They better stick to comedy.

Am actually quite happy to have missed last night's episode without even a second thought.

You think they are gonna kiss and get it on.,, He just turns says when the last time they kissed was then walks away. :confused:

What I don't understand is why the bomb squad guy didn't read in his daily "Early Edition" newspaper that the guy was goona shoot himself and stop him beforehand like he saves people every other day? Oh wait, that's another show. Nevermind. :)

I don't agree with all the hating on these two episodes.

I thought they were both amazing, especially last nights episode.

The final scenes toward the end were just unbelievable. Meredith taking the bomb out and then passing it on to the Bomb Squad, the bomb exploding, Derek saving Baily's husband, Baily delievering a baby.

Just wow! Easily my favorite show on television.

Thanks funny... Early Edition was my favorite show until it was canceled.

You didn't REALLY see this episode, did you? Unless you are blind, you can clearly tell that he still loves Meredith and NOT his wife and that he will end up with Meredith eventually (perhaps the last episode of this season, or the next). Heck, in the preview for the next episode, they even show some guy Adison hooked with telling her "He doesn't love you".

I am telling it as I saw it. Your interpretation might vary. How long has it been since Derrick and Meredith kissed and slept together? Immediately following the bomb blast and the commercial break, you see all people hugging each other in relief, and Derrick keeps asking "Where is she [Meredith]? Where is she?" and suddenly Addison comes running and hugs him. At that moment, the feelings on Derrick's face made me feel that he does love his wife too.. and that he is torn between staying faithful and being true to his heart which also loves Meredith. In the closing scenes in Meredith's house, I felt that he still genuinely cares for Meredith, and still has feelings for her. But he is not ready to just jump in the bed with her as he used to before his wife came back into his life.

I think the guy that comes back in next episode was the same guy that Addison had an affair with before. If I remember it correctly, Derrick and 'the other guy' were friends. Now with him coming into the scene looking for his old flame, it complicates the relationship tussle.. Derrick loves Meredith, but he realizes he still has feelings for his 'wife' and feels hesitant to sleep around. Addison rediscovers her love for Derrick when they were at the verge of a divorce, and the entrance of her old 'flingmate' brings another dimension into these relatioships.

If this show sticks to this kind of play between various relationships, it will be entertaining, instead of trying to add all these action/suspense elements, which clearly appeared NOT to be the forte of the writers.

I thought the look on his face was more like when you're expecting a Palm Pilot for Christmas from your In-Laws, but when you open it, it's a $19.99 organizer from Radio Shack. :)

If you want to know what's wrong with these two episodes (or at least half of what's wrong), just watch the 60 seconds of the first episode summary that's at the beginning of the second episode.

I particularly liked Grey following the guy with the bomb, and Sandra Oh's character disturbing everyone when they're trying to move to a new room.

Oh, and you'd need a helicopter move one pregnant woman from one hospital to another?

Stupid writing.

Oh, I'll take Addison over the bony babe any day !! In fact, I don't find Ellen Pompeo particularly feminine or attractive. But as always y'alls MMV.

That sucks, the audio for that explosion was pretty good.


I'll say it was good! I must have replayed that explosion scene at least a dozen times! I love my DCT-6412! :D

In fact, I don't find Ellen Pompeo particularly feminine or attractive.

I won't say I don't like her, because I don't know her, but I don't like her character at all. I don't really know why (perhaps it's that I don't like the show either), but the dislike of the character is so intense I don't consider her physically attractive.

I played it about 3-4 times myself, it was oustanding as far as TV explosions go, very well done.

I agree but, to tell the truth, I actually found the follow-up episode to have MUCH better writing than the intial episode after the Super Bowl which I thought was a REAL underachievement by the writers.

Thanks, guys. I'm a physician, and a have gotten used to suspending normal judgment when watching shows like this.... :rolleyes:

Kinda amazing that a projectile of that size shown to be in the right upper hemithorax on the CXR didn’t obliterate the right pulmonary hilus (given the angle of entry) or at least cause massive hemorrhaging while everyone was dilly-dallying around.

BUT, if it did, you wouldn’t have the time for all that interpersonal interaction ! :D

That’s Hollywood. :)

Generally, I just like seeing the interns suffer and the attendings coming off like heroes. :D

Speaking for myself (obviously) There's something about Ellen Popmpeo's eyes that sometimes creep me out. I didn't particularly care for the first few episodes but after that I have been hooked on this show.

Oh, I'll take Addison over the bony babe any day !! In fact, I don't find Ellen Pompeo particularly feminine or attractive. But as always y'alls MMV.

I 100% agree with you. I haven't found one thing attractive about Meredith, she's whiny and annoying along with being pencil thin. She's actually my least favorite character on the show. I'd take Addison over her every time. I even think everyone else does a better job acting than Ellen Pompeo too. But she's the main character so she's not going anywhere.

Now Izzy, she's definitely eye candy.

Just thought I'd mention that Ellen is actually my second cousin, though I don't really know her. My mom know's her pretty well, but my mom also has 120 first cousins on her fathers side alone, and that is not even an exageration (Irish Catholic Family). Makes for interesting family gatherings now that she is a "celebrity".

Though I will agree that she is a little weird looking, and I think Izzy is way hotter. Addison seems to have a rather large head.

"Anatomy" of a win: ABC takes 18-49 on Sunday
Monday February 13 7:42 PM ET


There's nothing like a bomb in the O.R., or a bomb in the hands of a star, to drive viewership to a medical drama.

ABC's white-hot ensemble drama "Grey's Anatomy" hit a new Nielsen milestone Sunday by out-delivering its 9 p.m. companion "Desperate Housewives" with the conclusion of the two-parter whose first hour drew some 38 million-plus viewers last week after ABC's Super Bowl coverage.

Even against NBC's taped coverage of the Winter Olympic games in Turin, Italy, "Grey's" spiked to an average of 25.3 million viewers and 11.2 rating/25 share in the adults 18-49 demographic, compared with 23.2 million viewers and 9.9/20 for "Housewives," according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research.

The episode, a nail-biter that found series star Ellen Pompeo's character holding an unexploded bomb lodged in a patient following a freak accident, ranks as "Grey's" best Nielsen numbers to date, save for last Sunday's Super Bowl-inflated turnout.

Shonda posted again in the blog and just wanted to remind everyone that Dylan is still dead :)

Love the show...just got the DVD set....been with it since day 1 and I can't wait for tommorow's episode!

What a great episode, once again focusing on its main strength, development of and interaction between main characters. Having come Mark to this episode gave it yet another reason for Derek, Addison and Meredith to examine what they want from life and the one they love (though a bit questionable from Meredith seeing the end of the episode). Opinions?

George fed the beast. ;)

I love it. I love the suffering. I love the love. I love the pain. I hate how George is going to have his heart broken next week...that sucks. A lot.

The show just doesn't hold back, they show life more truthfully than any other show on right now and while some of the events (code-black) maybe be unrealistic, the realism of the relationships are so incredibly refreshing, its sometimes overwhelming.

I just realized that this season only has another 3 more episodes. So sad.

I thought this was a major improvement over the two-part "code black ep."; back to what this show does best. Was surprised George went for it. Next week looks to be interesting as well.

I think it has more. The first four episodes this year were actually filmed last year and not shown. I think there is 22 shows shot this year and four from last year for a total of 26 shows for this season.

that would be incredibly excellent...I didn't realize till I got the DVDs that there were only 9 episodes last season (really not even half a season)...I forgot it started mid-season...that would be aweosme if there 26 eps instead of 22

Every list I've seen only shows 4 more episodes this season.

Best episode of the last three. I'm glad GH is back to the same formula. I love it.

...The first four episodes this year were actually filmed last year and not shown. I think there is 22 shows shot this year and four from last year for a total of 26 shows for this season.

Correct. They showed 9 (of 13 shot last season at the end of 2004-05. The first four THIS season were from that batch. Then there are the 22 episodes ordered for this year.

Perhaps they only have 19-22 completed, but haven't finished 23-26?

26 episodes instead of 22 would sure be great! Even if they take a break for a few weeks, that's still 4 fewer weeks without new episodes. :)

Goo episode but geez, she got so horny that she went for George.. :confused:

I took it more that Meredith was emotionally vulnerable and George just managed to say the right things at the right time. I was truly on the edge of my seat when George finally mustered up the courage to go in there. I definitely wanted to slap him early in the episode and tell him to grow a pair and move on.

TV.com lists original episodes for the next three weeks and then one unscheduled episode.
Last summer, ABC announced that season two will have 22 episodes in addition to the four being carried over; bringing the total number of episodes for season two to 26.

I disagree, she's not a whore... she's a slut, there's a difference. :)

Btw, Grey's beat Desperate housewives in ratings again last night, according to zap2it.com. Looks like it's holding on to some of that post superbowl glow.

I disagree, she's not a whore... she's a slut, there's a difference. :)


lol, I'm having deja vu . . . I think we all hashed out whether she's a slut, a whore, or neither earlier in this forum. For the record, I find Meredith incredibly annoying, but I don't consider her a slut or a whore. I just consider her sexually liberated, which is ironically her best quality given that the other significant adjectives to describe her are whiny, flaky, and anemic.

As annoying as I find Meredith, I think that there are lots of women out there just like her, and that's one of the biggest drivers of the show's popularity.

I interpreted it as pity sex and George was too pumped up and naive to notice that something wasn't quite right.

I think we are confusing ourselves.

Season 1
101 - "A Hard Day's Night" thru "Deny, Deny, Deny" (13 episodes, 9 aired during season 1, 4 during season 2)

Season 2
201 - "Bring the Pain" thru 222 - "Untitled"

"Yesterday" was the show's 18th aired episode this season, but it's production number should be 214.

Which means there are 8 episodes remaining for season 2: 215 - 222. Making a total of 26 episodes during the 2005/2006 season. If the "Recap" episode counts as a new episode, then that means there are 7 NEW episodes remaining, not 8.

You must have a different source from what I've been looking at, the last episode I see is "Little Creatures" episode No. 218.

Usually I find epguides.com fairly reliable. It goes thru 2-22 on Grey's now, but with no air date shown yet for the last one:

This Sundays was SE02EP19, not SE02EP18...what everyone is saying is, we should get to SE02EP26?

Hope so! Really liked the episode, espeially Burke's rant at the end. Can't believe Merideth sleeps with George, and I can't believe Dr. Shepphard stays with Dr. Shepphard! What is she a glutton for punishement?

I thought this was a major improvement over the two-part "code black ep."; back to what this show does best. Was surprised George went for it. Next week looks to be interesting as well.
Agreed. Grey's seems to be back on track with what it does best.

I can't believe Dr. Shepphard stays with Dr. Shepphard! What is she a glutton for punishement?
Penance for past sins ?

lol, I'm having deja vu . . . I think we all hashed out whether she's a slut, a whore, or neither earlier in this forum.

lol, add “charitable provider” to the list as the fling with George was definitely a sympathy scr*w.

Nothing wrong with that. Doctors need to get their frustrations out somehow.

Come on people, Jerry slept around a lot on Seinfeld (everyone else did as well for that matter). No one went around calling him a Man-Whore now did they?

I'm curious to see who she told in the next episode that has George so mad ;). It wasn't the other three, becaus they were all shocked when he yelled it out in the stairwell. Only other person I can think of then is McDreamy.

lol, I'm having deja vu . . . I think we all hashed out whether she's a slut, a whore, or neither earlier in this forum. For the record, I find Meredith incredibly annoying, but I don't consider her a slut or a whore. I just consider her sexually liberated, which is ironically her best quality given that the other significant adjectives to describe her are whiny, flaky, and anemic.

As annoying as I find Meredith, I think that there are lots of women out there just like her, and that's one of the biggest drivers of the show's popularity.

What's worse, having sex with an whiny, flaky, anemic woman or having sex with a slut or whore? I'm not sure which is worse but I sure know that one is a booty call and you don't have to deal with her on a regular basis and the other one is a girlfriend. ;) There are plenty of women like Meredith in the US. I just wish that a lot more of them moved into the city that I live in. Viva Liberatae!

I was glad to see George finally stop being afraid to go after the woman he wants. It seems as though the writers have snipped his b@lls. But as all men who are afraid of to go after the women they lust after and then finally muster the courage to go after the woman that they have pined over, he will have his heart stomped on. It appears that way from the preview of the upcoming episode. He was too eager and he pined over her wayyyy too much to notice that Meredith was emotionally needy at the moment and she needed some.................

You must have a different source from what I've been looking at, the last episode I see is "Little Creatures" episode No. 218.

Well, if ABC ordered 22 NEW episodes, then there should be 26 episodes this season, or 8 more.

I'm guessing they will air 4 episodes thru the end of March; Febuary 26th, March 12th, March 19th and March 26th.

Then take a break for the month of April and finish off the remaining 4 episodes during May sweeps; May 7th, May 14th, May 21th and May 28th.

They wouldn't miss out on that important time period would they, especially when the show is doing so well right now.

I sent an e-mail to TheFutonCritic, hopefully they'll respond with some sort of answer to how many episodes there are.

Just because the list doesn't show past a certain date, doesn't mean that's the final episode. According to TV.com, DH only has 16 episodes this season. That's obviously not accurate as well, since we know 23 episodes were ordered for that show.

This was posted on Spoilerfix.com in May of of last year:

05/23 - Mr. McPherson announced that the new season episode order for Grey's Anatomy has been upped to 22. With four episodes unaired from the first season's order, ABC will have 26 original episodes of Grey's available to air in 2005-06. Source: ABC

So, 4 episodes that were supposed to air in season 1 and 22 episodes for season 2.

Come on people, Jerry slept around a lot on Seinfeld (everyone else did as well for that matter). No one went around calling him a Man-Whore now did they?
That's true, even Castanza got a lot of action. And so far in 2 seasons, I can only remember Meredith with 3 different guys: Derrick, the stiffy-that-won't-go-away guy, and now George... did I miss anyone? The show says she gets around though.

Wasn't there an episode where George and Izzie are sitting at the breakfast table and joking about the nicknames they give guys who leave Meredith's room in the morning?

it might have been the same episode as the guy with the long term stiffy.

Yeah, I remember that episode. They were alluding to Meredith having guys coming through on the regular. You guys don't remember that one guy she slept with? The one she met at the bar. She woke up the next morning and he was still there. My bad! This is the guy whom had morning wood in the morning, afternoon and evening. She saw him in the hospital after she had slept with him and she was wondering if she was the one that caused the guy to continuous wood.

I must say this thread has some quite different conversations than ones that are going on in the Lost and 24 threads ;)

Well skip on over to HOUSE.

There's alot recently about man-breasts ! :eek:

Thanks for the link.

hhaaha so true...the comment section can get quite scary....if I do post, I usually just thank them for taking the the time to write to us...they really don't have to do anything like that but I think it gives us, the viewer a totally different perspective on the show, and I really enjoy that

Merideth probably sleeps with a lot of men because she didn't have a father for 20 years.

So are you saying if she had a father should would have slept with him instead...?

LOL ... Personally, I'm *shocked,* nay even *outraged* over this latest "House" incident ... I may be scarred for life, furthermore my dog, who also got an eyeful, refuses to eat or watch TV and spends most of the day in a depressed funk! ;)

For those who care, Krista Vernoff (http://www.greyswriters.com/) posted her blog over on GreyMatter....gave a little insight into why Meredith kissed George :)
It sheds a lot of light on what they were trying to do, and it does make sense. I watched the episode again last night, and it was excellent, up until those final 2 minutes, where it just gets a bit strange.

Not because of what happened, because I think we all wanted George to work up the courage to do what he did, but just how it all felt.

It just seems so sad and depressing. I think these two characters are great. My favorites of thes show, but I don't want there to be a rift between them because of what happened. I mean, do you honestly want the season to end with this situation still unresolved, and have to wait 4 months until season 3 for it to be resolved? I sure don't.

It has the potential to eat up too much of the show, kinda like on Desperate Housewives when: SPOILER Rex died and the entire 1st half of season 2 was about Bree and George (isn't it strange the name's the same?) That didn't work out and I fear if the writers on Grey's Anatomy get too involved in this storyline, I would lose interest.

Of course I'm probably overreacting, and we still haven't even seen how this cliffhanger is resolved, so it might be okay in the end anyways.

What's great about the show though, is even though I didn't like the ending, I thought the episode was excellent.

It's just a TV show, it's not real life. We shouldn't get worked up over these things, but it's so well done that we're pulled in.

The Ask Ausiello column briefly touches upon this episode:

Question: Give us the scoop on Grey's Anatomy! Are Meredith and George going to hook up? That would ruin everything! — Sara

Ausiello: Judging by the previews for this Sunday's episode, it sure looks that way. And I'm with you, Sara — this could turn out to be Grey's first serious misstep. Wasn't the Meredith-Derek-Addison-Mark quadrangle complicated enough without adding this new McNerdy wrinkle to the mix? The whole thing feels extremely rushed and, sadly, will be more grist for the anti-Meredith mill. On top of being whiny and pathetic, now she's the selfish slut who broke George's heart. Hopefully, this'll just turn out to be another one of George's fantasies. Please, Shonda Rhimes, let this turn out to be another one of George's fantasies. And if it's not, you've got four days until the next episode airs. That's plenty of time to do some reshoots. (THIS JUST IN: I found out there's a site where Grey's writers blog about each episode. Click here to read scribe Krista Vernoff's defense of the George-Meredith tryst. Fascinating stuff.)

That's basically how I feel. I don't mind too much that it happened, I'm just afraid to see what MIGHT happen because of it on screen.

And on a more important note, he confirms how many episodes there will be this season; 26 + the 1 special for 27:
Question: Sunday night's episode of Grey's Anatomy was the 19th episode of the season. How many more episodes are we getting this year? — Jason

Ausiello: There will be 27 total episodes this season, so, let me see… 27 minus 19… divided by six… times four… carry over the two… divided by pi squared… um, by my very rough calculation, we've got about eight more to go.

Good news!

Meredith is now carrying George's twin babies. George also gave Meredith syphilis he got from that nurse last year.

Well, we're not quite sure if the twins are McDreamy's or George's. ;)

Great! Merideth is the LAST person on the show that needs syphilis. Now EVERYBODY'S going to get it. :D

Great! Merideth is the LAST person on the show that needs syphilis. Now EVERYBODY'S going to get it. :D

Maybe the writer can have her infect about 1% of the male population in the Seattle metro. :D Maybe the writers could work that into a storyline.

They need to rename the show: McSyphilis

If you think about it: Alex gave it to The red head. The red head gave it to George. If Alex still had it, he gave it to Izzie. If George still had it, he would give it to Merideth. If Merideth then slept with Derek again, she'd give it to him. If he ever slept with his wife again, she'd have it.

The only safe people are Christina and Preston (although they're having sex). Of course, Richard is sleeping with Merideth's mom. And Miranda is obviously having sex otherwise she wouldn't be having babies.

So, it looks like the only people on the show NOT having sex are Merideth's dad (give him time, he's only been in one scene) and the bartender (the "Who Wants to Marry a Big Fat Loser" guy). :D

Please realize that this entire post is one long bad joke.

It's not rediculous. It's a fact. There are a lot of "side effects" of not having a father figure around whether you want to believe it or not.

It's only half-true apparently, females who have divorced parents in which the father is not around, tend to be more promiscuous, while females who have lost a father to death are just the opposite. So in this case you would be correct, but, the distinction must be made on what type of fatherless situation it is.

Apparently, the devil's in the details ! :D

Maybe she just enjoys having sex.

as skinny as she is, I'd do her...and Heigel for that matter...for the amount of time Heigel complains about not having sex, I feel like she could get any guy in the world to have sex with her...

But, Christina was in the shower with Meredith and Izzy, so she might have it too and give it to Preston!

I thought about that too, but I figured some smart @$$ on here would say, "You can't get syphilis just from showering with someone." But now that you say it, there aren't any smart @$$#$ on this forum are there? :rolleyes:

Sure there is, plenty of them... :D

Yeah I thought about that too, but I had an argument ready for that case:

They didn't show the entire shower scene from start to end so ANYTHING could have happened after they finished washing her hair. :p ;)

Besides I think Christine and Merry are having a lesbian fling that has only been hinted at in the scripts. For example, why did Christine put Merry down as her medical contact, hmmm?. :D

I figure the last episode will have Merry renouncing all men and coming out. :eek:

Egad... Syph is so treatable as to be nothing more than a bad flu.... IF you discover you have it.

As for the story.... hmmm, I guess I better start watching it again.... (insert big eyes icon)

Agreed, I now look forward to Sunday nights again.

SPOILER ALERT:

I don't know if this fits the bill, but after the end of the show, my local ABC news WPLGDT had a feature that Ellen Pompeo hinted in an interview with TVGuide that

one of the interns will leave the show.. and that it won't be Grey (D'uh!!)

And by the way, a very good episode tonight. Glad the show got back on track.

They got it wrong, not surprisingly they want to pull you in to watch. Ellen Pompeo said that someone is leaving the SURGICAL INTERN PROGRAM, not the television show.
I also agree about this episode tonight. It sets up some great situations for future episodes. Can't wait. Too bad we have to wait 2 weeks until the next episode.

Krista (the writer from Grey's Anatomy who wrote the teleplay for "Yesterday") was right when she said this episode would be "...FABulously, wonderfully, horribly, funny, and great."

Yes, yes it was. :D

Great episode...I loved the change to George's narrative...the switch up was a nice difference... ^^^^^ NOT READING :) ^^^^^^^^^^^

Love the narrative from George. Need more of that. For all of us men out that, man is that a testes shriveling moment or what. You're... ahem... in the act and the chick starts crying and asks if you're finished yet. That could take years of therapy to undo! :) Suddenly George is looking like the lady's man. The nurse still wants him, the new doctor wants him, and even Merideth would probably give him pity sex!

As for the Izzie/Alex thing... was anyone else disturbed by the maniacal glee on Alex's face as he shocked the hell out of Joe? Personally I think Joe's a goner sometime before the end of the season, but you have to hope Alex doesn't kill him. In ref to the spoiler above, it seems fairly obvious to me who that would be but I suppose I could be wrong.

... was anyone else disturbed by the maniacal glee on Alex's face as he shocked the hell out of Joe?

and his ear-to-ear grin as George was tumbling down the steps.

Forgot about that one. He's honestly being made a little too psycho for my comfort.

and his ear-to-ear grin as George was tumbling down the steps.
Heh, that entire segment was hilarious, even though it shouldn't have been. Spoiler for this episode. I was even laughing during the sex scene between Meredith and George. It was just too funny, she was crying and trying to disguise it with a laugh. "No, just ignore me, you're almost done right?" "No", "Oh George!" lol

not a spoiler as it has already aired...

I thought that was terrible of Meredith to do that...I think George's reaction is more than fair and I think this will change things A LOT. But George at least hast closure. He realizes that his dream girl, really isn't that much of a dream and he can now move on. Can't wait for next Sunday!

As a very wise man once said "Sometimes you gotta let a ho be a ho".

Lax, I think it's 2 Sundays you have to wait. Next week is the Oscars.

haha Scrubs tonight had a shout-out to Greys....hilarious

Another good episode last night. PQ seemed better than usual too for some reason.

I found this episode rather weak, not much going on in character development or with development of relationships among main characters. Baby in this episode was a distraction, that was very unnecessary. Overall one of the weakest episodes of both seasons.

Agreed. But having said that, I don't want EVERY show to be a Superbowl show. Then, we'd end up with ER. That's one of the things I like about Grey's Anatomy. It's NOT ER.

I don't know...it wasn't that strong of an episode, but I wouldn't call it weak...we had major developments with the Shepards and I think Meredith might actually be over McDreamy...or maybe he's now over her (his face when Meredith told him that she had slept with George was 100% expected...it was total shock, he couldn't believe that she would do that).While I hate Alex's motives in this episode (jealous of a terminally ill man), he is 100% correct. Izzy is way too close to Denny as a doctor and I think she finally realized that at the end of the episode (but again, like Bailey said in Season 1, "you get too close to your patients" so I doubt Izzy is going to let this one go). While Christana continues to push away from all social and emotional contact (even with Burke), she's given this baby which she can't simply push away like the rest of her friends. I thought it was hilarious when Webber caught her changing the baby...

Overall, I still love the series and its definitely the best drama on TV ATM.

Yeahhhh... no. Sorry, I've watched almost every Sopranos episode and it's not. The season opener was pretty lame this year. In some ways Sopranos is a victim of it's own publicity.

Much of the character's interactions and dialogue are very accurate to real life. More so than just about any other show I've seen. Love this show.

I *definitely* thought it was him being over her. The look on his face, his entire reaction, was priceless and seemed to say "I'm so over you now...finally and completely." So, when he was talking to his wife at the end, I pretty much knew he was going to do *something* to indicate his willingness (finally) to truly attempt to reconcile.

Well I just watched last week’s episode :o ...................
so that I could get caught up before this evening.

Personally I was hoping for a little bit more attention to the bit with Dr. McDreamy and the surgery for the giant cerebral aneurysm in the patient with the fork in her neck.

I assume that was a middle cerebral artery aneurysm and the cerebrovascular bypass procedure he performed was either a double-barrel superficial temporal artery-MCA bypass or an anterior temporal artery-to-MCA conduit.

Sorry for the medico-gibberish but THAT surgery requires a tad more skill than the bomb in the chest thingee of past. Just wished it had been given its due significance in some way.

Looking forward to this evenings show. :)

That's exactly what I was thinking too. ;) j/k

Another good episode tonight. I think I know who is leaving the show.

god I hate Alex...and yet can totally see where he's coming from!

George, Christina and Burke are now my favorite characters...they just make me laugh

Another great episode. Man I love this show.

And Alex is really starting to lose it.

This show is starting to get repetitive. Every story line is about sexual tension. Are they just going to drag out these similar story lines forever? If so, we might as well just call this another evening soap opera, like DS which precedes it. They have to come up with something new to keep me interested.

If so, we might as well just call this another evening soap opera,

Well, it was meant to be one since day one.

Actually, I liked how Alex opened George's eye and told him to move on. I hope he does the same to other characters :)

Alex and Chan are my favorite characters. Tell it, like it is :)

Someone has got to get a grip on Izzie. Seriously. It's pretty apparent to everyone that she's emotionally involved with Denny, and in reality she'd be off his case so fast she wouldn't have time to blink.

Definately the best part of this episode. It's about time someone got after that winey, spineless George. There is no way someone with such a low self-esteem and confidence would ever be a good doctor let alone a good surgeon. I would run in the opposite direction if he was my doctor. He acts worse than a high-school teenager. Please George, grow a pair or get off the show.

I liked the episode. I thought it flowed well with a nice mixture of intervening subplots.

The biggest kick I got out of it was when the patient came right through the E.R. doors coughing up blood? and there was a Chief Resident and a bunch of interns willing to treat her immediately.

Has anyone ever tried to WALK directly into an E.R. and get treatment immediately for anything without going through the insurance police at the main desk? If any of you have been successful please tell me which hospital this is and I just might recommend some of my more elderly relatives to move to that locale because THAT sure would be a nice option to have.

I’m not knocking the show, just that I personally found that scene kinda cute, as I would expect anyone else might have that came to an E.R. for treatment and ended up waiting…….and waiting……………….and waiting. :(

:)

I got involved in this season late after watching S1 on DVD. The last show there was Gray and Dr. Dreamy talking about his wife who had just appeared.

What is the short version of what happened to them in the earlier S2 episodes?

Ed

Heh... er, quick synopsis. Wife had been having an affair with his best friend. He found out and moved to Seattle. Started affair with Merideth. Wife showed up wanting him back. He got all confused. Wife said pick me or divorce me, Merideth said pick me and divorce her. He stuck with the wife. Best friend came to Seattle to get Merideth back. He punched out best friend. And here we are today.

Yes, show up with blood all over and you will defintely bypass insurance police! :)

I had a mountain bike accident near Tiger mountain, it was pretty gruesome - road rash (or trail rash) on face, arms, legs and neck injury. I got in right away at the University of Washington hospital - my now wife dealt with insurance while I was being taken care of right away. Thankfully I healed up fine except for the drain bamage. Or was that already there...seriously though, wear a helmet - mine split into three pieces and saved my noggin. They make you wait a long time if it's not as critical though.

I like all the Seattle shots and plugs in the show now (Tiger mountain does exist where Meredith and McMarriedguy are seen hiking - although it's not shot there). The first season had less references to the Seattle area.

He punched out best friend.Meredith told him slept with George and that seemed to kill his little lingering longings.And here we are today.v/r,

[I had a mountain bike “accident”(along with four other guys) in a SoCal race – just 2 months ago because some idiot hit the brakes when he shouldn’t have and I was directly behind him and performed a classic faceplant. The four other guys were taken in ambulances by EMT’s to various local hospitals, I toughed it out back to the starting line and had my wife drive me there…..eventually.]

I DID show up at my local community hospital with blood all over me (at least my face).

1. Comminuted fracture of nasal bone = blood pouring out my nose !
2. Fracture of my left infraorbital rim and laceration along the medial aspect of my right eye = blood pouring into my right eye and down my right cheek.
3. Laceration of my left eye lid = blood pouring into my left eye and down my left cheek.
4. Raccoon eyes (REAL bad black eyes). :eek:
5. Laceration inside of my mouth that extended from the right to the left side of my jaw that ripped all the soft tissue down from my lower teeth exposing dem nerves that come out of your jaw and POURING blood out of my mouth – which eventually required 2 hours of oral surgery to repair, which SHOULD have been done that afternoon.

(Not to mention the cervical neck sprain or the L.O.C. that occurred after the crash necessitating a C.T. of da brain -which I had to read MYSELF because the Radiologist was out somewhere playing golf!)

While I was giving out insurance information to the insurance police at the front desk, I passed out and nearly fell to the floor if it wasn’t for my wife’s quick reflexes………..
THEN they tell me I was put on a gurney and wheeled back to the E.R. suite, where after the nurse cleaned all the blood off my face, the Chief of the E.R. recognized me as having been on the surgical staff of this same hospital a few years back and the care went from a snails pace to a more rapid approach, I assume simply out of professional courtesy at that point.

And all I REALLY wanted was the mophine for da pain !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.
I’m having my relatives move to Seattle !

Maybe you're the "wrong" race. I remember when I was 12 in 1970, I needed stitches while traveling in Florida. I think they needed to be removed by the time we got to Alabama or Georgia. Since we didn't have a local doctor, we went to the emergency room in whatever state it was. I was taken in first, even though there were probably 10 other people there first who were all black, and one had a head injury! Of course it's also possible I was the only one with insurance, or that they let any moron remove stitches, but I always felt it was probably due to race because of other cultural differences we noticed traveling in the South while being from Seattle.

Hey now... let's not make this a racial debate ;). It's very sad, and it certainly happens still, but not the place for it. When I was 15 I was out with a friend when I wasn't supposed to be and slammed my thumb in his car door. It locked of course. Put a big holle in my thumb, severed the tendon, and fractured the bone. I could actually see inside my thumb. They drove me to the hospital and I staggered to the front desk, mumbled my name and phone number, and passed out ;). Woke up on a gurney with some guy sewing me up.

I think the moral to all of these stories is stay inside and WATCH people come into the ER. Don't be a statistic!

I liked the way Alex went off on Georgie. He deserved. And Alex's b*tch so-called girlfriend needs a reality check. Since everyone is talking about hospital stories I'll share one of mine.

I was 25 living in Miami about 3 years ago and I was at home and all of a sudden I had to go to use the 'little men's room'. Well, let's just say that there was a horrible pain while I was in the upright position doing the '#1'. Needless to say this pain lasted for about a day and I went to the suburban ER in good ole Pembroke Pines. I sat in the ER for 4 hours waiting for a nurse while at the same time holding 'it' in. It was the most excuriating pain I have felt in my life. Just thinking about it............ Never again. ;)

I liked the episode. I thought it flowed well with a nice mixture of intervening subplots.

The biggest kick I got out of it was when the patient came right through the E.R. doors coughing up blood? and there was a Chief Resident and a bunch of interns willing to treat her immediately.

Has anyone ever tried to WALK directly into an E.R. and get treatment immediately for anything without going through the insurance police at the main desk? If any of you have been successful please tell me which hospital this is and I just might recommend some of my more elderly relatives to move to that locale because THAT sure would be a nice option to have.

I’m not knocking the show, just that I personally found that scene kinda cute, as I would expect anyone else might have that came to an E.R. for treatment and ended up waiting…….and waiting……………….and waiting. :(
If you come into just about any ER with a life-threatening injury...something that needs immediate attention...you'll get right in. If someone is coughing up blood, it's likely they'll get in right away, since it could be something that needs immediate surgery.

Now, if you come in with a gash that requires stitches, they'll probably give you some gauze and an ice pack and tell you to have a seat. Same with a broken arm, etc...

I think the moral to all of these stories is stay inside and WATCH people come into the ER. Don't be a statistic!
Not, to worry !
I kept everything in perspective and like a true Qualian videophile, I signed out A.M.A. (Against Medical Advice) so as to catch the season premier of 24 on my 70” display the next evening.

No problems whatsoever. When watching most HD programming I still enjoy that initial “wow” effect and when I watch Jay Leno which I believe is shot with 1080 cameras at 1080/60i instead of 1080/24PsF like most TV dramas, I still get that “Super-WOW” effect with this display !

No buyer’s remorse whatsoever. It turned out to be an excellent purchasing decision !

And after she wipes it up and I tell her that I have Goodpasture’s Syndrome and she compliments me for being a good farmer, what do I do ? ;)

I'm hoping that George doesn’t hook up with the E.R. doc because I really don’t think they look well together as a TV couple.

Depending on one’s perspective, she’s either too BIG for him, or he’s too petite for her.

Maybe that will be her [flaw], controlling or wants a puppy...

Explain to her that while you may be a good farmer, having an autoimmune disease with glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage is not a good thing.

I've almost done that. I took the end of my finger off with a table saw, and was told by the ER receptionist that I would have a wait of several hours before anyone could see me. So I took the towel that I had wrapped around my hand off and laid my hand down on the receptionist's desk while the blood started to pool around her paperwork. I told her "I'm just going to keep this right here nice and safe until one of the doctors can see me".

Suddenly, getting in with a doctor right away wasn't a problem.

haha! Yeah, I don't think they would look good together. More like the number 10! George is the 1 and she is the 0. When you put them side by side you get the number 10. But you know what they say, at 10pm a '2' is a '2' and and 2am a '2' is a '10'. Or is George's case, during the first hour of your shift you tell her that you're gonna call her when you have no intention of doing it b/c she is a 2 and at the end of your shift you call her b/c all of a sudden she's looking like a 10 to him.

So, why the repeat this weekend? This episode bothered me in two ways. One, it was a repeat, two, why is it ok for that woman to keep saying "dumb redneck"? I can not go around saying "dumb (N-word)", not that I want to, but seems to be a double standard. I don't have a washer, toilet, or car on blocks in my front yard, but I still felt offended by this ladies constant referenct to "dumb redneck".

The stigma attatched to the n-word.

Yet another great episode tonight, liked it very much, looks like Meredith will be moving on from McDreamy.

I'll say it again; they're setting up Merry's gender preference switch. ;)

yup, I loved last night's episode...quite a tear-jerker

My wife was sobbing. I was trying not to laugh. Way to go Alex, finally standing up and being a doctor. Good stuff with the dad and all too. What the hell was that episode, "let's find a bunch of old stars and throw them in the same episode" night? :)

Adding to matters is the fact ER will be reruns until May. BLAH.

I'm glad you said this. I can delete the show off my Tivo.

ABC by far has the worst scheduling out of all the major networks...terrible terrible

I knew it was a clip show, but I watched anyways.

I think this is the only show I'd ever watch a clip show episode.

Thankfully new episodes return next week straight through to the end. :D

I rarely watch clip shows. But I think they may be a good idea in continuing series where you have to some idea what is happening. And it seems they can probably be produced much cheaper than new episodes.

So in an age dominated by reruns anyway they are probably a good addition.

- Tom

Clip shows = delete on my DVR

Just by reading the description, you could tell it was going to be a clip show. I deleted the scheduled recording earlier in the week.

Anybody watch last night? I thought it was a fairly decent potpourri of stuff.

Yeah. It was alright. I think the show is much better with a DVR now that I can skip commercials.

I liked it...glad to see my favorite characters are back...however, after such a long break, I feel totally disconnected from their lives...I feel like I missed something and that their lives went on throughout the break...I dunno, I hate hiatuses

FINALLY it was back. It was almost hard to get reconnected, I agree. But I thought it was a really good episode.

Only thing is, if they ever show the ortho chick ridin on top of ole George in some future scene, I may just have nightmares for a few days. :eek:

I got a kick out of the Asian intern saying something to the effect that vets aren’t “real doctors.”

Lol, there are ALOT of M.D.’s (including surgeons) that truly wished they had gone to vet school, as dem vets are smart as foxes when it comes to private practice in the real world once one finishes with all the training. :cool:

The billing/paid for service rate is phenomenal and what the hell, if you don’t pay a lot of them ON THE SPOT , they don’t give you your poor dog back to take home !!!! :eek:

Oh yes, perhaps the Super Bowl.

yup...great episode...and now the season finale is going to broken up into 3 episodes...1 on next Sunday and then two on Monday going head to head with the Prison Break season finale and 3rd to last episode of 24...this is going to suck...I gotta decide which ones I am going to record now...can't miss a minute of this great TV

(I posted this earlier today in the Hot Off The Press sticky.
But for those of you who don't visit it -- and shame on you!!! -- here is the (GA creator) Shonda Rhimes entry about last night's episode from the greyswriters blog )

TV Notebook
Shonda on "Damage Case"

Original Airdate: May 7, 2006

I gotta be honest.

I have no idea what to say in this here, our blog entry for tonight’s episode “Damage Case.”

No. Freaking. Idea.

Why?

Because I’m scared I might spill the beans. About the finale. The gi-normous two-night, three hour finale the writers and the cast and the crew have been working their butts off on. I’m usually good with the secrets. I didn’t tell you about Meredith and George. I didn’t let it slip that Dylan was gonna explode. I kept the food-eating contest to myself.

But I’m a tiny bit tired from making 27 episodes of television. And my mind is all crazy because fourteen days from now, it has become clear that everyone around me thinks I’m going to take time off. That I’m going to stop thinking about my friends at Seattle Grace. That I won’t get in the car, drive to the studio and obsess about Meredith and George and Izzie and Cristina and Derek and everybody. That I’m going to…I don’t know…SLEEP. Or see my actual three-dimensional friends who, while lovable, get kinda cranky when I write dialogue and ask them to say it out loud. I’m supposed to go on vacation? Are you serious?

Anyway, my point is, I’m weak. I’m a weak pathetic shell of my former self so my super-hero-secret-keeping powers are not working so good. They are broken. But I will do my best. I will do my best to just chat calmly and quietly about “Damage Case” and pretend those other future episodes don’t exist.

This episode was originally borne of an idea one of our writers Mimi Schmir had about this amazing damage control surgery. I think it was Krista Vernoff who suggested that what would be cool is if our interns are all working on patients from a single family. Which is how I ended up writing “hillbilly” dialogue. I love the big-haired Southern girl and her family. I love the Mama who says “good girl” instead of “vagina” and I love Big Jim who screams “Melly!! MELLY!!!” in a crazy Deliverance way. But what I got the most joy from is humanizing them. What starts out as a funny hillybilly picnic story where you kind of mock this family slowly turns into a story about loss, love and forgiveness. Mama gives that wonderful speech about how a mother should be in on making decisions for her daughter. Big Jim offers a moment of grace to the boy who killed his daughter. And Noah breaks my heart every time when I think of him left with a baby but without the love of his life. I love this family. And I love even more how in the midst of all of their tragedy and pain, we watch our characters struggle through.

“Yeah, yeah,” you’re thinking, “get to that argument with Meredith and Derek!”

I’m getting there. But first I have to make a detour. A detour over to the Land of Callie Peeing. You know I have to go there. This may be one of my favorite moments of our show EVER. It’s right up there with George gets the syph for me. Maybe not for you. But for me…Callie walking into that bathroom topless and peeing in front of Meredith and Izzie was SO GREAT. Because it was SO HORRIBLE. I love that Mer and Izzie respond with all the trauma of having viewed a car crash. And I love even more the very sweet moment at the end where Callie says that she did wash her hands but she did it in the kitchen because those girls were looking at her like…

You know who Callie was in high school, right? You know she was the outsider, the loner rebel chick who didn’t have many friends and wore weird clothes and was just tortured by the cool kids. Callie, as played with Sara Ramirez …dudes, Sara won a TONY AWARD for Spamalot – I saw her in the show and she ROCKED and then we met for breakfast and discovered that we were like best friends who’d never ever met and talked for hours and hours and hours and…okay, I digress. My point is that Sara makes Callie so vulnerable in her kickass toughness. And when I, in near terror, asked her take off her clothes and do a scene where she pees in front of Meredith and Izzie, she was all, “I’m on it” and threw herself into the scene. I am frankly hoping that the ABC shopping site tells us where we can buy those panties she was wearing because those were the best panties EVER next to Izzie’s Season One Hello Kitty panties and I have to own some. I think I would be less angry about going on vacation if I had some cool Callie panties. I would never pee in front of other people but I would be happy.

Once again, I’m losing the point. The point…the point…the point is Callie pees and Izzie tortures her a tiny bit about the hand washing and that made me overjoyed because that’s the kind of thing people do.

The other detour I wanna make is over to Denny-ville. I love Denny. In a dangerous way. Denny is very real to me. He’s no character I made up. He’s DENNY. He’s human for me in a way that makes the actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan nervous when I get within fifty feet of him. See, when Denny gets all depressed about being an invalid, I want to climb in bed with him just like Izzie does. What’s shocking about Denny’s depression is that we are so not used to seeing him angry. He’s so sweet. But being an invalid wears down the spirit – that’s what our doctors tell us, that’s what we all know from seeing it happen to people we know. And I wanted us to see a little of that. I wanted us to see that Denny is starting to despair of ever getting a heart. That Denny is about to give up. Which breaks my Denny-loving heart because he’s Denny and I just want to watch him play Scrabble and say things in that drawl of his.

Okay, last detour: Alex saving the baby. I love that we have a character who can do something wonderful but still be a selfish cranky ass about it. Alex gets to be complex in ways most characters don’t because even though he’s got a moral code, his moral code is totally twisted and dark. But he’s essentially good – deep down inside.

And now, finally, the Mer/Der of it all. He’s so angry. And that anger has been kinda building since all the way back when Meredith told him about George. And it just gets SO much worse when he sees her at Finn’s and assumes she is sleeping with him. The man is jealous. McDreamy is jealous. Beyond all reason or sanity or any rational thought. He’s just jealous. And that fight they have in the stairwell…oh, I was proud of Meredith for standing up for herself. I was a proud, proud Mama. But my little heart was also breaking. Because he’s so angry. And she’s so angry. And then in the next episode…

Oh, yeah, right. No talk about the next episode. But it’s a big one. That gets bigger. And then it gets even bigger. But I can’t talk about it.

I can talk about how cute and hot Finn is and how much I love it when he says “I never said I wasn’t scary and damaged too.” Because he is like Meredith. And that gives her a little bit of hope. It may give you hope too. Or it may give you a seizure because you want your Mer and your Der BACK TOGETHER and you want them back together NOW.

I could tell you so many things. So many. If I could. Which I can. But I won’t.

We’ll talk more later. After you’ve seen the stuff you haven’t seen yet. I’ll explain everything. I promise.

Right now, I have to go and figure out a way to survive the next six weeks without my friends from Seattle Grace in my life. Maybe I’ll form a support group…

heh I have that webpage up and am ready to read it directly after I watch Sopranos

WOW!! Excellent episode tonight. This show is getting better all the time.
Also agree.

That episode was very good. It was essentially seamless from beginning to end. The perfect mix of time given to each scene to keep it both interesting and dramatic.

My only medical techno gripe (and it is very, very minor as 99% of the population would never pick it up) was McDreamy telling the Surgical Intern from the auto accident that everything in his head looked fine based upon ONE image thru the brain. I don’t know why they just didn’t put up a conventional CT with all its slices on the viewbox.

However, overall kudos to the writer(s) for bringing everything together and priming us for a hopefully just as excellent season finale. This show continues to pleasantly surprise me and offers much more than just T and A which I believe a lot of non-viewers assume as such from the short commercial clips of the show when they’re channel surfing.

It was nice that it emphasized one of the greatest burderns to overcome(successfully) when in Surgical Residency.........sleep deprivation !

so is Callie fat? I honestly can't tell!!Some scenes she looks big...like big. But in other scenes, she just looks like she's a big girl but overall well balanced...I honestly can't tell

She looks "big-boned". It's always tough to tell in scrubs. MMmmmmm...I do love a chick in scrubs. :D

She didn't look so fat in the panty shot! She's what I would call thick, not fat.

She ain't nuttin' but H-O-T!!

She didn't look so fat in the panty shot! She's what I would call thick, not fat.

That might have been a body double since that shot had jump cuts on both sides of it. But, that being said, I'd agree with majority opinion that she just seems to be large overall, not fat.

Yeah, I was confused about McDreamy being sooo upset. He's the one that broke it off with Mer. Now he acting like a little girl. Very good episode never the less.

I agree. She is 'thick' but not fat.

What guy likes to see their ex with another guy? Unless maybe he got a bootleg video or something... ;)

Well, Bush has made their plans to air a Monday night episode even more idiotic. Now it's not only multiple shows, but also padding multiple shows.

Oh man, the episode tonight was a bit strange in some parts towards the middle, but the ending was amazing.

Can't wait for tomorrow night.

What a show!

The Denny thing has been a little drawn out. End it already.

Yeah, and a little over the top. Burke should have called Bailey immediately after that conversation with Izzy and had her check on what was going on. He knew something was up.

I think Burke knew, but wasn't going to stop her. If you notice everytime he talked to the other doctors at the other hospital, he said "my intern has said..." so that he could cover his ass. I think there was a part of him that wanted to show up his rival surgeon and part of him that wanted denny to get the heart.

My guess is they fly in the rival with the heart tomorrow to operate on denny while Burke himself is being operated on. Maybe Burke gets the heart? I didnt see where his wound was.

Is Izzy gone next season? Her and Addison dont seem like they are going to make it back for S3.

The ending was a big surprise and well done imho. Gonna have to figure out which one to DVR tomorrow, GA or 24!

ugh...what to watch...what to watch

Let's see....

Prison Break- Fox HD................check
24- Fox HD................................check
Pistons vs Cavs TNT HD.............check
Grey's Anatomy ABC HD.............check

Throw in a speech by the Prez to throw everything off...............check

I think that's too many checks.

Right now my plan is to record the game, PB, and 24, Grey's we'll watch OTA. The thought of having to be in front of the TV 'on time' is a little disturbing though.

Anybody got a spare 300GB triple tuner HD-DVR cablebox laying around???

Yes, if you're "hard-driving" Grey's Anatomy, make sure to take into consideration the Prez's speech and do it ahead of time so the speech won't put you to sleep. ;)

How do we do this? What time will GA actually start tonight?

ABC has not yet indicated it will carry Bush's speech. And the ABC Web site says there are three hours of GA tonight -- first hour is the rerun of last night's ep (8/7pm). Then the season two-hour finale (9/8pm).

A PC with 3 OTA tuner cards will take care of 3/4 your requirements :). I can only record two programs at once but fortunately can also catch the west coast airing if needed to bump that to 4 per night!

I believe everything has been shifted by 20 minutes if you check your EPGs. However you might want to pad or record the show after just incase.

I'm pretty much certain ABC will carry the speech. It's supposed to last 20 minutes, but should have at least 10 minutes of comentating BS from the press, so it should start on the half hour. They are having an Oprah Winfrey special after the Prez.

ABC: Oprah special moved to next monday. on the east cost/central, the president's speech will start at 8/7et. while the first hour of grey's airs. after the 20 speach is over, ABC will recap for the viewers what they missed in the first 20 minutes of last night's ep. Then the regular 2 new hour finale will progress as planned.

Cool, we're on the West Coast so the Prez speech wont affect regular programming. So now there's 3 hours of Grey's tonite, plus 24 and NBA and baseball. Sports is easy to watch with the sound off, 24 is a different story. Guess I'll have multiple TV's going plus record 24.

Man I'm really sick and tired of the Denny plotline. I wish they would have killed him off about three weeks ago. Hopefully they'll finally knock him off tonight.

All I gotta say is WOW! Great season ender tonight.

I agree completely. Everything felt right, and was executed perfectly.

And I love how the cliffhanger wasn't extreme or done for shock value or anything. It was subtle, and just right.

I can't wait for season 3, but the way it all ended makes the wait much more bearable.

Your wish is my command... Denny died tonight..

From Tuesday morning's "Variety":

"McDreamy and Meredith are on the move.

In what will likely be the boldest move of upfront week, ABC is today expected to announce plans to move megahit "Grey's Anatomy" to Thursday nights in the fall...."
