This week on the Round Table, Miranda stirs Chief Resident talk, Izzie and Callie spar (again), Mark swears off sex (really) and Mer gets a little help from the dead in findin the will to live ...
Will Mark last 60 days?
iheartizzie: Hells. No. I don't think Mark Sloan means to be a bad friend or home-wrecker, but these things happen when your libido is twice the size of Seattle Grace Hospital. You can't teach an old, mustachioed, sex-crazed dog new tricks, people.
Married-to-McDreamy: Yes. I actually do think that he will. I think that he is crazy about Addison (with good reason!) and I think he'll do what it takes.
The only potential problem will be if Addison leaves Seattle Grace for this mysterious new job that we're hearing about...
McCritic: Probably. But someone better hide Olivia from this sex-crazed doctor. And everyone else in Seattle Grace might wanna check their legs periodically for signs of Mark humping.
Which character would you want to come back more: Denny or Dylan?
Married-to-McDreamy: Dylan! That man is so very attractive (sorry, iheartizzie). Who can resist a guy in a bomb squad uniform?
McCritic: Dylan. Denny is a really nice guy and everything, but Dylan saves lives.
With bombs such as the Callie/George marriage and the fight for Chief Resident waiting to explode, we're gonna need someone who knows how to dismantle these devices under pressure.
iheartizzie: TV needs more Denny Duquette. Slightly rugged, drippingly charismatic and full of sage advice. This man needs his own show! Dylan Young has already found is true calling as a West Texas high school football coach. We want more Denny, Shonda Rhimes!
Who will remain in George's life longer, Izzie or Callie?
McCritic: Callie. The vows say until "death do us part," right? Unless Shonda and company have another brain freeze and lamely pretend to kill off another character, the mainstays seem safe for awhile. Izzie better get used to it.
Married-to-McDreamy: Hmm. This is a tough one. I actually think they both will. Izzie is a good friend, even if she doesn't always handle herself appropriately, and Callie will be a good wife, even if they got off to a rather unusual start.
iheartizzie: Isobel. George even admitted, in the midst of telling the brash Dr. Stevens to back off, that he might have made a mistake. Not a good sign.
Let's just hope Izzie realizes that sometimes, the best way to be there for her BFF is to let him figure his own problems out.
Will Miranda be named Chief Resident?
iheartizzie: Do I heart Izzie? Is the Pope Catholic? Does Patrick Dempsey have the best head of hair in Hollywood?
McCritic: Yes. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow. But someday, and for the rest of her life.
Married-to-McDreamy: Definitely! Dr. Bailey was running the show in that room when they were trying to revive Meredith. Where was that chirpy other woman? Oh right. Standing in the waiting room with a clipboard. No contest.
Did you ever stop believing Meredith would pull through?
Married-to-McDreamy: No. I knew she'd pull through. I wish I did stop believing, though, as that probably would have made the show a little more captivating last night.
McCritic: No. She has too much grit, too much determination, too much of her name in the show's title to drop dead like that.
iheartizzie: Yes. As I said in last week's "Drowning On Dry Land" edition of the Round Table, Meredith had lost the will to go on. I wasn't sure she could recover that as easily as she could make Doc appear out of thin air. Luckily, Denny and Ellis helped our girl come to her senses, just in time.

I thought the show really dragged last night. Grey's has to have Grey in it, so obviously she was the miracle! This has been the only show I make "sure" that I see each week, but I think it's starting to slip. Maybe too much thought is going into the spinoff! Better be careful or both shows will flop.
I can't believe ya'll didn't realize it would be Meridith's mother who bit the dust. She had the "rally" that often happens right before the end.

WAHOO! I cried the whole episode. Denny was awesome in this episode! What was up with the bleeding girl?anybody know?I remember the episode she was in, but why was she still bleeding? thats the only thing that confused me. That was such a wonderful moment with Mer and Ellis. And Denny and Izzie. that was sad though. It was cool seeing all the old people. Espeically Doc (her dog) LOL. Christinia went crazy over the dollar store! LOL! Jeez she bought almost everything! That was extremely sad when she walked in to say good bye to Merdith. Do you think that Derek is going to believe her that she was pushed? I hope...Do you think Addison and Mark are going to pull that off? I think they might. I hope we see more of Denny! :)

I think its a repeat

I loved it, but there was one thing that I thought was a GLARING oversight. Where was Merideth's father and the step-family. Surely, someone would have thought to call them. I think they should have skipped the talking with dead people and had the family on instead.

I cried my eyes out. I think this is one of the saddest episodes yet. And Derek aka McDreamy was so sad. I cried for him. and i know they didnt show any clips for next show so people are like will there be another episode. Guess again! There will be another episode, just wait and see!!!

They should have killed Merideth!
Just think of the TV history that would have been made! No other show has ever killed the "main" character before and carried on. That would have been much more interesting to watch and the ratings would be even stronger after she was dead...to see what happens.
They committed the biggest sin in TV - they "Jumped the Shark" last night. With such a great ensemble cast, the show would have been great (in my opinion better) without Merideth. But now, we go back to having to listen to her whine and moan about relationships etc. That's getting old. At least it wasn't "all just a dream."
As I was watching the episode, I was cheering for Merideth to stay dead (for reasons mentioned above). I told my wife that if she lives...I will no longer watch the show. If a ratings winner and well written show has to stoop to such a low level to get even more ratings, then I feel used and manipulated. Very disappointing. They had a chance to make history, and instead ruined a great show.
I hate to say this, and I'm mad as hell about it, but I won't watch Grey's Anatomy again. That may be a childish attitude, but I am really mad at them for the "miracle" of Merideth living.

What an intense episode! I was in tears for practically the entire thing.
Does anyone know where we can watch a preview for the next episode on March 15th?
