“Please just save me from this darkness. Please just save from this darkness.”
Oh dear God, that’s HORRIBLE. Really, the producers of network dramas need an intervention now! They have absolutely gone totally nuts overlaying the totally unrelated vocal songs over the last few minutes of these shows. It sucks the big one guys! It ruins the drama they are trying to build. It’s so distracting in its out-of-left-fieldness. I can’t hit the Mute button fast enough.
Yes, I know, these are probably songs by artists that the owners of the conglomerate that owns the shows, the studios, the networks and the record companies are trying to give publicity to, but at what price?? Ruining the shows emotional impact.
I’m begging you. Please let the whiny indie singers fend for themselves. No more sappy, weepy vocals starting at the 56 minute mark. I’m afraid I’m gonna damage my TV if this keeps up.
Here, here. My fiance made me find out who did that song about “How to Save a Life.” The Fray is now one of her favorite bands. I don’t dislike 'em, but they aren’t my cup of tea.
I agree that it was heavy-handed, but it wasn’t totally unrelated. I’d say some of the situations in this episode were pretty damn dark.
The pregnant woman’s face kinda freaked me out. So did that silent little girl. And the twitching guy under the car. I thought it was a creepy episode.
Meredith fell in the water. Are they gonna kill her off? :rolleyes: Why do they bother with cliffhangers like this? Is anyone in suspense?
Another point for McDreamy being a total ass. I paraphrase: “What’s wrong with you? Do you want to get married? We haven’t talked about it. Is that it? No. Good.” What the hell? Bring that up in the middle of a trauma, make it sound like shit, then act all relieved when she says no-- what else could she say? Jerk.
And I thought the Chief looked good with his new hair. It did make him look younger, even though it was supposed to look fake and bad. Maybe that man just can’t look bad.
As a former fan who has been watching since Episode 1, please let them all die. Now.
The writers have turned such potentially interesting characters into whiney crybabies who have zero brains or maturity. If any one of them approached me in a true hospital setting I’d run off screaming into the night never to return.
See, this is what I like about the show. Not a single one of them is perfect and a great many of them are not even likable. I watch and I think, “Yeah, Meredith is a whiney, needy person but why is it that she gets pushed into the drink and not Izzy? If anybody deserves drowning in fetid water, it’s Izzy.”
Sure, it’s a weird way to find entertainment but I like it.
So… what happened there, anyways? Terrorist attack, gas leak, bird flu outbreak, a Metalocalypse Pay-Per-View Event?
I saw the first part and part of the end (wasn’t feeling well after dinner and went to go lay down), so all I know is that they show up, and there’s fire and smoke and wounded people and helicopters randomly landing and taking off and such, but no indication of what happened. Then at the end, we see Meridith getting knocked into the drink.
And hey, wouldn’t it be kind of a neat twist if the show’s eponymous character got killed off midway through? I mean, that’d be kinda like how Babylon 5 rarely ever showed up in the fourth season of Babylon 5. I doubt it’s gonna happen on Grey’s Anatomy, but I’m just saying, it COULD happen.
So, McDreamy will dive in, save Meredith, and become her knight? Bleh!
Did anyone else notice the creepy blond girl’s pants were soaked with pee in one shot, and then dry in the next shot? Continuity director to the white courtesy phone!
It was foggy, and the ferry collided with a container ship out in the bay. But it took a lot to finally get that information.
I liked how you only saw Meredith in the water for next week’s promo. I’m sure she won’t get killed off, but I like how they’re giving us a sense that it just might happen. Because if someone on this show has to die, I would rather it be Meredith Grey. She’s my least favorite character (even though Ellen Pompaneo does a great job in the role. I just don’t find Mere to be a likable person.) This would make it possible to rename the series Miranda Bailey Is The Greatest.
Ahh, thought it had something to do with a ship. There was an episode of ER with a vaguely similar plot (on a much smaller scale), where Dr. Benton was in Mississippi when a fishing boat exploded (an engine problem, IIRC), and he ended up saving a guy’s life using seran wrap and twist ties until the paramedics could arrive.
Re: What do to with the show if Meridith dies: Spoiler box used for tasteless joke, rather than any kind of spoiler protection:
The rest of the show will be about her cadever’s career at a medical school, where med students continually open her up to see what’s inside. This way, they don’t even have to change the title!
It wasn’t clear to me why out of all the people Seattle Grace could have sent, they choose this bunch. And could they at least put a tiny smudge on Izzy’s lovely face? :smack:
It also wasn’t clear to me how everyone immediately noticed the chief’s new hair, when it wasn’t a huge change and [blatant stereotype] men don’t tend to notice that kind of thing. [/blatant stereotype] Maybe it’s an indication of how remarkably sensitive and observant these guys are.
It seemed to me that only Addison knew right away. Then Sloan noticed it, and said later on that the Chief needed highlights so it wouldn’t look so unnatural. I’m not surprised that Mark noticed right away - he seems to be shallow enough to compare himself to the alpha dog.
Of course, her dressing down the boys in the elevator right in front of the Chief was a little too insensitive in itself.
