I wanted the fight to last longer. And be someone other than Avery. Personally, Owen or Teddy would have been awesome, because Karev thinks he’s hot shit but Teddy could totally take him.
However, Webber believing it was Alex was awesome. 
I’m curious to see what ends up with Wang. I’m guessing that by the end of the season she’s back cutting people open - but with humility and empathy.
It wouldn’t surprise me if Sandra Oh was behind or pushing for Christina’s break down. Up to now, she’s be the most one dimensional character on the show.
I’ve liked Peter MacNicol in other things so I was pleased to see him. Did he come in from another hospital? Most weasels I konw in real life are at least nice for a few days before switching into jerk mode.
April standing up for Karev in the OR while admirable seemed a little out of character for her, to me.
That either one of them would show up to a party directly after what happened in the on call room seems less than plausible to me. If I were the empress of Shondaland I’d have had Karev escape to the bar, where we’d learn Christina was hiding and HE’D be the one to talk her back into the program.
Don’t surgeons try and protect their hands rather than slamming them into other surgeons’ jaws?
I don’t think Avery’s thinking too much like a surgeon these days.
Whenever there’s a big event in the show all the doctors show up. I mean, Owen and Christina’s wedding was full of people neither had interacted with.
I didn’t watch the earlier seasons faithfully, so tell me if I’m wrong, but why do Sloan and Callie care so much about Christina? I always thought of the show as having certain social circles and Sloane and Callie are nowhere near Christina’s.
The kids: Meredith, Christina, George, Izzie, Karev, Lexie, occasionally Derek.
The adults: Derek, Sloan, Addison, Callie, Arizona.
The transfers: Avery, Kepner, the other ones who died.
The ‘we don’t hang around with you kids’: Bailey, Webber.
Owen and Teddy kind of move between the groups as the plot requires.
Callie and Christina were roommates up until a couple of episodes ago.
And they became roomates when they were both in the wake of horrible breakups. They’ve had a few “heartwarming” kind of “I get you” scenes.
So is lingering handshake Secret Service guy coming back for Teddy? And how many episodes until he gets shot (or worse)?
'cause we all know nobody from Seattle Grace can date anyone who ISN’T from Seattle Grace.
Ah yes - I can’t believe I forgot that! But it seemed very much like a ‘we can’t possibly fit any more cast members in Derek/Meredith’s house so we’ll spill over to the building with Callie and Sloan’ sort of thing, roommates you know will pay the rent.
Frickin’ kid selling the newspaper knocked on my door in the middle of the show and I missed a part. I live in a damn apartment building, isn’t not getting door-to-door salesmen part of the whole shebang? Anyway, can someone tell me what happens after:
Webber comes in and forces the CT tech to call the on-call dude. Then when I came back Lexie was telling the parents the younger kid was dead.
Full episodes are available on abc.com if that’s an option for you.
Christina tending bar continued to not go well. I can’t remember if Callie and Mark slept together before or after you were interupted. Meredith and Alex got in trouble from weasely Dr. Stark, but Chief Weber was (not so) secretly proud of them. Avery opens up in an indirect way to Lexie. Bailey and Teddie both got really drunk. I think we’ll be seeing the guy Bailey broke up with back sometime, but maybe not soon.
This episode, the fail is everywhere.
- Cristina is back to normal after one episode. Lovely. Great gradual character development there.
- Well, now the Lexie and Mark reunion will be shortlived, with another baby drama.
- flails Yeah, condoms break. But what a stupid, contrived grab for drama. This is on the level of the Izzie cancer drama. The one time a condom breaks on womanizer Sloane is, of course, on his bisexual-leaning-towards-homosexual-on-the-Kinsey-scale best friend.
- And now Meredith can cry for the rest of the season about how the woman who slept with a man once after a string of same-sex relationships gets preggers.
- Ah, Teddy. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
- Speaking of Teddy, Webber is the last person in that hospital to preach about inappropriate relationships.
- I hope Webber is smart enough to know that about 75% of Karev’s willingness to teach is based on how hot his student is. Pass him over the smart dude that was with Avery, we’ll see how willing Karev is.
Last night’s episode was…wow. It was GOOD. It had some very powerful moments that made up for the whole lot of the ‘stupid’ that viewers have been subjected to, and a continuing storyline concerning Chief’s wife, Adele, coming up. I actually teared up, a little, a couple of times. Because it showed them actually practicing medicine, and the responsibility that goes with it, and there were two very, very affecting scenes. (Now that Callie is knocked up, the producers may have more time to concentrate on other things than her fixation on her ravenous va-jay-jay :rolleyes:.
Why oh why did they have to introduce another Mark Baby Drama? Lil Grey is my favorite character, and now she’s getting the short end of the stick yet again. Maybe the telegraphed hook-up-to-come between her and Avery will be an improvement.
And as for Adele, how can a knowledgeable medical professional stick their head that deeply in the sand? This is TV, the slightest bit of mental confusion always means that something is terribly wrong. Shouldn’t he have gotten memos about that?
So… is anyone else watching the new spin-off “Off The Map”? I was hesitant to watch it because I hated the Africa/Iraq episodes of ER but I find myself looking forward to OTM much more than Grey’s or Private Practice. Too bad the ratings don’t look good…
Off The Map is OK, but it seems like an imitation of Grey’s Anatomy set in an exotic locale. And it’s like we’re supposed to warm up to, and love, all the characters, immediately. (As if it’s just put out there for a while for those viewers who just can’t get enough of randy doctors but are getting tired of GA.) It’s better than the appalling Private Practice. The program guide is better than PP.
I’m hoping Adele’s condition means that Meredith won’t get Alzheimer’s (overkill, much?). Romantic involvement with Webber seems to be the kiss of dementia on this show.
Lil Grey is also my favorite and I’m rooting for her and Mark, but yeah, this baby drama has basically ruined that.
I liked tonight’s episode. Something good happened to lil Grey for a change, and they played “Riverside” by Agnes Obel. I did feel bad for the lung transplant patient’s girlfriend, even though the doctors were right.
If you were like me and confused as to why the two CF patients couldn’t be around each other (since CF is genetic and not contagious), the wiki article has a section titled “Chronic infections” with a good explanation.
Wtf was that with Owen, or for that matter with this show in which people who absolutely do not want kids are being pressured to have them? Christina has never wanted children, never made the slightest indication that she might ever want children, and the idea that she might “grow up” and “come around” is insulting. If Hunt wanted a family, he should have married Teddy. If he still wants one, he and Christina should split and he should marry Teddy, or any other of the millions and millions of women in their twenties and thirties who do want children. What you don’t do is grumble that you get no part in the decision! It’s like going to the hardware story and bitching that they’re not consulting the customer’s needs because they don’t serve ice cream. Bad enough that they made Arizona agree to it; at least we know she’s great with kids and likes them a lot, although I still think Callie had no business trying to talk Arizona into having them.
I was, however, quite pleased to see McBiscuit presented in a more agreeable light, although at just a hair under 57 (at least, that’s Peter MacNicol’s age), he’s a little old for Kepner, who is supposedly 27 (the actress will be 31 this year). That said, MacNicol can probably pass fairly well for 40-ish, so I guess it’s OK.
GAH OWEN MADE ME SO MAD
He was patronizing. It wasn’t the ‘why won’t you think of me too?’ that bothered me, it was the ‘you’re young and ambitious, when you meet your career goals you’ll want babies’.
TOO MUCH BABY DRAMA. It’s actually making me like Cristina because she’s one of the only chicks left not wanting a BABY.
And damn is Arizona being cranky. Something’s gotta break in that threesome, and soon. Mark won’t give up any ground - he’s already chosen a baby over a relationship twice - and Callie would never try to deprive him of fatherhood. Arizona is the weakest link.
The only thing I’m looking forward to is Lexie dumping Avery on his ass when she finds out he only got to know her because Mark blackmailed him into it.
(Okay, Keppner and McBiscuit will be cute. 
)
Oh man, I hated the Africa episodes of ER so much that when they brought Noah Wylie back to ER after being off a year, only to have it turn out to be another Africa ep, I stopped watching for the rest of the season. They did manage to get me back the next year somehow, but I still haven’t watched the eps I missed that season.
Anyway, no I didn’t decide to pass on Off The Map (it’s a spin-off? I did not know that) because of that, but rather because I just have way too many shows I watch as is, so I wanted to make sure it lasts more than half a year before bothering. Did something similar with Chicago Code.
