Due to the Super Bowl, my DVR recording of Grey’s Anatomy ended right before the final fourth of the show. VERY aggravating… I saw up to where the anesthesiologist left Christina Ricci alone in the ER with the guy with the missile in his chest. Can someone let me know what happened? It was left on a very cliffhangery note and I need to know how it ended! Help!
Also, was anyone else disappointed that Izzy got it on with Alex?
Very little was resolved in the part you missed.
George walked in on Baily, who was trying to pack up and go home, insisting that she couldn’t do this alone.
Christian Ricci finally freaked out and took her hand out. Dr, Burke, the bomb squad guy, and what’s her name, Sandra Oh all hit the floor but Dr Grey just put her hand in to stop the bleeding.
And that was the end. It’s all to be continued.
Thanks, Zebra. I appreciate being able to know this before tomorrow. I figured Christina was going to take her hand out pretty soon and nothing would happen. We got no resolution on Bailey’s husband?!? Argh!
This is the first time I’ve seen Grey’s Anatomy. My friends were fans and wanted to watch it after the game so I stuck around.
It was a good show. Is Christina Ricci a regular cast member or was this a guest appearance? Also, if her character is 22 years old, what is she even doing in an operating room? Doogette Howser?
I also didn’t buy the ending. Another doctor stuck her hand to save the day? If jostling the bazooka shell might blow it up, what will two clumsy jostles in rapid succession do? Not to mention the third jostle that will come as they have to extract the shell.
I understand that it might have been done to stop the patient from bleeding out. The exposition was quite clear (again and again and again) that her hand was saving the patient. But a) that really could have just been the head surgeon calming Ricci by saying anything to keep her mind off the fact that she’s touching a friggin bomb and b) there must be other ways to keep the patient from bleeding out. They’d find a way. But if your quick hand movements makes the bomb go off you’ll never get that chance.
Oh, and nice guest appearace by Kyle Chandler. If only he had gotten there yesterday…
She was a paramedic. I believe she was all set to leave when they found out it was a bazooka bullit thingy (I don’t know anything about guns). Doctor then suggested she not move.
I missed the last half - I tivoed it while watching the PuppyBowl.
Ender - Christina Ricci isn’t a regular - she played a paramedic only two weeks on the job. She shouldn’t’ve stuck her finger in the guy, but it saved his live. Perhaps Meredith kept the mortar from shifting by sticking her hand in there - the paramedic had ridden all the way in the ambulance like that.
Somebody tell me - did they ever tell Bailey about her husband? George is so not a liar - she’d know something was wrong after one look at his face.
StG
Addison told Bailey “your husband is with my husband”. So I think Bailey could likely piece it together.
It was… pretty much par for the course for the second season? Maybe a little better than most? Certainly better than the last few weeks? I dunno.
The episode appears (to me, at least) to be specifically designed as a “we have the hot timespot after the Super Bowl… we need a cliffhanger (even though we don’t usually do them) to get people to watch next week at the regular time and then keep coming back… let’s do something extreme! yes! a bomb! no, wait, that makes no sense… a-ha!” Not to mention the beginning George-dream, and the Izzy-Alex steaminess. A lot of it just felt like they were trying too hard to grab the Lost/DH/24 audience they expected to carry over from the game.
I guess I’m just a little dissatisfied because the first season was funny, not TOO far out there, a little bit sexy, and just a bit out there. The second season has become more and more straight-up prime-time soap opera, IMO, very “typical popular”. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just not what I’m looking for. I’d rather NOT be able to say the (corny) lines before the characters do, as I did at least 3 times tonight. Also, I’m bitter 'cause I didn’t get a Boston Legal fix last week due to the SotU speech :mad: 
Is this the first episode that hasn’t had an explicitly-stated theme running through it? I mean, it was pretty clear that it had the core theme of the three basic human imperatives (birth, sex, and death) but it wasn’t fully articulated in the narration or the dialogue and there was none of the usual combination of literal/medical and figurative/personal elaboration of the theme.
It was really good, but a bit of a departure that way. (Also a little light on the comedy and nearly no weepy bits.) Very different vibe, altogether. No indy music on the soundtrack, even.
Loved when the interns are standing in the ambulance bay and Bailey shows up. George walks over and wraps her up in a big hug.
It cracked me up when George was standing outside the door as Addison was checking Bailey’s cervix. The chief comes over and asks what’s up and George says “Bailey’s back” so the chief looks through the window and wishes he hadn’t.
Same thing when McDreamy comes over. He looks in the window too and says something like “My wife is examining her cervix, I’ll never get that picture out of my head”.
Meredith: “She’s got my McDreamy, she’s got my McDog, she’s got my McLife!”
The previews look good.
I liked the opening dream sequence.
But this episode did not end with a narration by Dr. Grey on what the show ment.
I agree, but I can’t believe that bomb thingie is going to explode. What? They’re gonna kill off Meredith? I don’t think so. . . but I wouldn’t mind if they did.
It looks obvious that George is going to coach Bailey through her delivery. I hope Mr. Bailey pulls through whatever brain trauma McDreamy is working on.
And we do need the complication of the chief’s heart attack, don’t we?
Just a little something to look forward to.
Of course not, since it’s going to be continued. I was thrown by the time being off (stupid Super Bowl 
), so I didn’t see it coming.
I liked that, too. George is great. But the water breaking on his feet has been done to death.
I’d never watched the show before. The preview looked good, and I thought to myself "This looks pretty good. I guess I’ll watch it. What could ‘Code Black’ be? Maybe it’s some kind of contagion. Maybe some patient goes nuts & starts holding people hostage. Heck, the only bad story I can think of is that some dumb schmuck somehow gets a bomb stuck in his chest. Wouldn’t that be ridiculous - code black means ‘Patient Got Bombs!’ :rolleyes: "
…
I went to bed right after the ‘moron friend’ showed up, and won’t be tuning in next week.
Give it another shot. This show is very much about the dynamics between the characters. That’s something that you really can’t get a clear picture of after only 1 episode. Grey’s is consistantly well written and the acting is often incredible.
It has the ability to make you laugh in one scene and cry in the next.
Like Earthworm Jim, I saw the previews & thought I’d give Grey’s Anatomy a shot. And like EJ, I thought a Code Black was going to turn out to be some kind of eeevil pathogen.
Honey- yes, it’s well-acted but I did more than one :rolleyes: in an hour for my liking. Frankly, what appealed to me the most is the actress who was in Sideways. She’s great. However, I can live without her, and the disappointing predictability of a network drama.
I’ll stick to Trauma: Life In The ER and other Discovery Health shows for medical drama. Real medicine without the contrived plots within plots.
Sorry guys. Just my humble opinion.
What really bugged me about this episode was how Alec ran allllll the way upstairs to the OR when he figured out there was a bomb inside the patient. Why didn’ t he just pick up the phone and call? That’s how the crisis (“Code Black”) was handled later on in the episode when the other OR was notified. I suppose a phone call wouldn’t have been quite as dramatic as a breathless “up the stairs and down the endless hall will he make it on time, oh no, they might all blow up!” scene though.
Fact check: is a bazooka shell really so dangerous to require such a huge evacuation? I wouldn’t think it could injure anyone beyond the immediate room.
I like this show better than Desperate Housewives, but it’s starting to fall into the typical drama-show trap: adding plot twists and non-sequiturs in order to build emotion and suspense. That totally turns me off.
I wondered about this at the time, but it made a little more sense you realize he was trying to get specifically to that doctor in time, and to not cause a panic.
Take big bomb blanket. Cover patient. Tell paramedic to take her hand out really fast and jump behind barricade.
Wait for result.
My approach is probably why I am not a doctor.
