Can I just say that if being dead means spending eternity with Kyle Chandler and JD Morgan, pass the arsenic, please.
I think the chief should have paged the on-site neurosurgen to drill holes in the guys head instead of having a shakey intern do it.
Or at the very least, contacted him.
Was that a Makita drill? Because when by brother-in-law got knee surgery thats what the used to drive in the screws.

Yeah, no shit. Surely they have people available to handle the public in the case of a catastrophe like this?! And I sure hope there are plenty of other docs since five or six of the top ones are working on one case. :smack:
And was I surprised to see that ramp there! Who knew Meredith could have easily swum over to it and walked out. She couldn’t possibly have been knocked out by the guy flailing?
I do feel bad for the crushed pregnant Jane Doe.
Izzy is such an asshole. She’s a rockstar? Yeah, good time to crow about yourself, while surrounded by so many other people who could use some help.
And I found myself thinking about other medical shows, womdering why they didn’t circulate Mere’s blood through that warming thing and put it back.
I used to like Burke and Cristina but I really want him to mean it when he says he is “done”.
I also don’t get why she sunk like that. Was she supposed to have been wrapped up in something? Or hit her head? Or? If she was close enough for McDreamy to bring her back to shore that quickly - why did she just stay under? In the teaser it seemed like “not a suicide” but -
Oh No! Use your words! What happened to amarinth?!
<carries amarinth out of the water all blue and limp>
She came up for air. Thought about it for a second and was to apathetic to tread water. “What if I dissappear?”
Stupid git.
Yeah I’m failing to see why Meredith was sinking. She was RIGHT BY the edge, she was not unconscious (she surfaced and gasped for breath several times, and treaded water for a few seconds) and there was a FREAKING RAMP onto land. What the hell? Way too contrived.
And add me to the list of people who still see Patrick Dempsey as the ugly dweeb from Can’t Buy Me Love (which was filmed in my hometown and had my friends as extras in it, which is the only reason I ever actually watched it.) Personally I think he’s still an ugly dweeby looking guy.
Hey, the shakey intern was being supervised by the plastic surgeon. We don’t need no stinkin’ neurosurgeon.
Too bad there wasn’t a neurosurgeon at the scene to do the brain surgery Izzie ended up having to do. Oh wait, there was, but he was busy walking around with the girl who causes death.
The only excuse I can come up with for Meredith is that it was freakin’ cold. She was hypothermic, remember? I hear it can cause disorientation very quickly.
Except for her internal monologue about how easy it would be to disappear.
FTR, there were TEN surgeons either personally working on Meredith or grieving in the hallway.
The Chief
Bailey
Addy
Burke

I guess that left Callie and the obnoxiously happy resident left to take care of, you know, the SCORES OF INJURED PATIENTS. ARRRGH!
Derek walking up the ramp with Meredith was one of the most ridiculous things that I’ve seen on t.v. The “knight in shining armor” carrying the unconscious maiden in distress…dear gawd, could it be any more cliched? Why would he dive in the water when there were Coast Guard rescuers RIGHT THERE? And why weren’t there search and rescue divers on the scene anyway given the number of presumed drowned? Why didn’t Meredith swim? The only explanation I have is that she only weighs 12 pounds and her Converses weighed 13.
I don’t loathe the character of Meredith but do loathe what’s become of the show this season beginning with the decision to reinstate Izzy instead of having her arrested for attempted murder and banned from ever practicing medicine again. I cannot stand Izzy now and wish it was her who took a dump in the Pacific. In fact, there are only a few characters left that I actually like.
I see that Marti Noxon (formerly a “Buffy” writer/producer) is producing the show now. If you know anything about Buffy/Angel, they killed off a number of favorite characters, including Buffy herself. Twice. Okay, they did resurrect her, which, granted, works better with a fantasy show…
Along the same lines, both Ken Olin and Peter Horton are involved with Grey now. They both used to act/direct on a show called “thirtysomething” which blindsided its viewers by killing of Horton’s character (Gary) out of the blue. So maybe they will kill off Meredith. It’d be really gutsy.
(On a side note, the only other show that I can think of where the lead character was killed off is “Valerie” when Valerie Harper had an unresolvable dispute with the network. They renamed it “the Hogans.” Twentysomething killed off )
I would think a big hospital like Seattle Grace would have a team of social workers to deal with the crowds and the people who are grieving. It wouldn’t just be a couple of doctors.
Hospitals are used to people dying. They have counselors to handle it.
I was surprised at how helpful a hospital can be when a loved one passes away. Maybe that’s not true with every hospital, but the one where my father passed away was quite helpful.
Perhaps all the grief counselors had been on the ferry?
Reminds me of Little Miss Sunshine: “Listen. Do you think you’re the only person who’s had someone die today!”
I remembered my strongest thought about the ep: Everyone is supposed to feel so sad for her that she lost her fiance, someone she got engaged to under tumultuous circumstances, like that was a real strong relationship. And yet she has the nerve to tell George he made a huge mistake in marrying someone he knew about as long, and claims to love in the wake of his tumult. If anyone dared challenge her decision to marry Denny, there’d be hell to pay. :rolleyes:
Since discussion on this episode has all but stopped, and I didn’t want to start a whole new thread, I’ll post this here. For those at work, it’s a spoof of the shower scene from last year. This time it’s the men.
It’s especially funny in light of the recent trouble Isaiah Washington has been in.
So my wife and I sat down to watch the DVR’d episode on Saturday, only to find the recording was corrupted. (This is apparently my fault, since the Comcast-provided DVR is a technology thing, and I’m in charge of all technology in the house.)
So can someone provide me with a summary? From the thread, I infer that
Meredith sank
McDreamy rescued her
Alex drilled holes in her head, since the attending neurosurgeon was wet (see previous)
Izzy was self centered.
Anything else?
The keyboard was too far away and I was too weak to push the “edit” button. Or something else that I’m not going to bother to explain.
BTW, is “use your words” a phrase that I just missed out on? Grey’s has used it several times - I’d never heard it before this show.
“Use your words” is something parents say to small children when they get upset about something and just cry or scream instead of speaking. The idea is it makes them think about why they are so upset, and helps them calm down, and hopefully they’ll talk instead of scream in the future. Saying it to an adult would be humorous (if a friend) or insulting (if not).
I’ve heard parental or caregiver types saying it to little kids who are communicating in other ways (screaming, pouting, thrashing), to encourage them to say what they mean. But not for kids as big as the creepy blonde girl.
