I lol'ed at your comment, Josh.
Every one thinks that Some Sort Of Miracle is Meredith coming back.
What if it's Meredith's mom returning to normal AGAIN, learning that her daughter is pretty much dead, and doing something crazy like crying and 'why!!'s' to bring her back? ...okay, I know. It's worth a thought.
I Agree with Shell, too. I don't have much to say... Shonda's doing a hell of a job though. After reading that? Wow. [New Respect, cheyyaaa.]
February 17th, 2007 4:47 PM
WOW. That's all I can say. That episode was so intense. I was practically shaking the whole time: Now that takes a skilled writer to do do something like that to the viewers.
Anyways, I can't help but add, Meredith can't die!! NO!
Since the little girl, who was kind of a symbol for Meredith, was found by her mother at the end, does that mean that Meredith will be alright? I sure hope so!!
AHHH!! I can't wait until next week's episode!!

Star and Tribune , this morning said, a character is going to die and is leaving the show, for REAL
February 17th, 2007 6:00 PM
It's Saturday night and I'm pontificating about a TV show. I'm hopeless...that and my three little ones are blissfully watching Mary Poppins.
I'm assuming that speculating outcomes is allowed here. I hope so, 'cuz here goes:
I dig how Shonda used symbolism, metaphors and past dialogue to tie things in, and there's so many coming at us in this particular story arc. The ferry boat & Meredith and Dereks fascination and 'thing" for both of them. The silent little girl, lost without her mom - Meredith lost (& sinking) without the mother she needed. The silence of water. The need for someone to help us reach above the surface for air. All of it is so brilliant.
Here's my take on how this will all end. We see in the second part that the little girl was free to smile and 'breathe' when her mother found her and tearfully told her how sorry she was for losing her. I think the only way for Meredith to really find her way to the surface is to hear those words from her own mother, who incidentally is going in for major heart surgery. I'm having a hard time figuring out how Ellis and Meredith can have a meaningful and emotionally gripping conversation in the great, big unknown without it being totally contrived in a Ghost meets Star Trek kind of way. But if anyone can create it in a way that doesn't treat the viewers as if we're complete fools or in a way that makes it believable and poignant for the characters, Shonda Rhimes can. In the end, I think we'll see Ellis ultimately owning up to her parental failures and telling her daughter how proud she is of the woman she's become and that she's got too much life to live to give up - a life with less constraints now that Ellis is moving on. Ellis will flatline just as our Meredith flutters her eyes open to see a weary and heartsick Derek sitting bedside, willing her to come back to him.
I don't however, think it will be tied neatly into a bow. Somewhere in the furious and futile moments of Meredith battle with death, Derek will mumbe something about Meredith trying to to drown herself earlier in the tub and he should've taken her seriously because he's now convinced she purposely jumped into Puget Sound to end her woes.
Everyone will think that dark and twisty Meredith is severely depressed, even suicidal and the storyline will take a turn we don't expect. Eventually, the little girl will make a reappearance and having found her voice again, will collaborate Meredith's story - and the little girl being a metaphor for Meredith will in the end, allow Meredith to do what she's needed to do for so long ......... let herself move forward.
Or....................Meredith bites it, Ellis gets her memory back and she and Derek have an odd, unnatural May/December romance. They can continue calling the show Grey's Anatomy because they've renamed Seattle Grace, "Meredith Grey Medical Center".
I seriously need to pay attention to my kids. Seriously!

The last episode was one of the most interesting, breath-taking and best episodes Grey's Anatomy has ever aired I think. It is a pity though, how many people are overlooking the fact why this entire thing happened and the meaning behind it, and blaming Shonda for "threatening" to take out Meredith. Meredith will not die, whatever happens, she's the main character and Shonda has proved herself as a good writer, and she would never make such a mistake. This whole thing is just another chapter in Meredith's life, another challenge. She has been so overwhelmed with the return of her lucid mother, and everything else, and this whole thing topped it off. I think it was greatly written and the little girl was such a great comparison to Meredith. Everyone needs to stop saying how "if Meredith dies, I won't watch this show anymore." Meredith will not die. She's the title of the show and there is NO chance they can get rid of her. I also thought the real return of Izzie was set for "Drowning on Dry Land" with her "I believe" speech which was very Izzy. I think that Christina and Burke got their action during the beginning of the season, with Burke's tremors, and the challenge it put to their relationship. Now it's time for either Alex and Addison to get some action, or George and Callie, especially Callie because we really don't know her and I bet there must be some things about her that will end up leaving us surprised.
PS. Having Denny back was the best!
February 17th, 2007 7:32 PM
If Meredith dies then Grey's Anatomy is dead to me, my friends and family. It will never be watched again.
February 17th, 2007 7:54 PM
John--thanks, I really needed that. Only thing is I think Burke and Cristina fans need alittle reward after all the angst they've had to go through this season.
February 17th, 2007 9:50 PM
I bet, that something will happen with the whole marriage thing. Maybe there will be a big marriage at the end of the season and then something will happen, I really hope they make a big thing out of their wedding because they really deserve it. Mark needs to start "growing" like the other characters too. Maybe someone will pop up for him too. I hope it's not Addy, I like her better with Alex. By the way, hopefully her and Alex will begin a relationship together because I absolutely love Addy. I can't believe this show has gotten me so into it. It's really great. Now that it's become really, really, really popular it's kind of a trend to watch, but to me, it's still a great insirational story where there's a lot to learn from.
February 17th, 2007 10:15 PM
I love Addy too, especially her funny lines and expressions. I love the zingers between her and Derek, its like old Hollywood. And Mark is growing on me more and more with each episode. I genuinely like him now because he does have a heart. I think there could be real sparks between him and Izzie if they get together, I would love that. She could do alot for Mark. (and I think everyone is feeling kinder towards him because I notice he is referred to as Mark now more than Sloan or McSteamy). I find GA very inspirational too.
February 17th, 2007 11:40 PM
so basically i havent been able to get greys off my mind. its driving me up the WALL. 3 words. dont.kill.meredith. just look at the O.C. and what happened when they killed the main character...the O.C. got canceled. but truthfully, even if meredith dies, ill still watch the show. no doubt about it.

Back several episodes ago when the interns were being snarky to Cristina and Meredith told them to give her a break. Cristina told her to quit defending her and Meredith said that she had to because Cristina was her only family or all she had or something to that effect. I remember Meredith and Derek fans being miffed that she didn't acknowledge Derek. They were not happy that Meredith felt that Cristina was all she had and wondered what that meant in terms of her relationship with Derek.
I think for the Burke-Cristina fans this is kind of similar. I understand that she has developed a bond with Meredith, like sisterhood. But it does not take the place of the love of your life and that is Burke. There is room in her life for both although having committed relationships like that are new to Cristina, I think. I don't see this as foreshadowing of them breaking up, but I do see it as another chink in Cristina's armor of aloofness. She does get emotionally involved. I think Burke's love for her has opened her up to getting involved.
I always worry about Burke when anyone is going to die on this show, but truthfully, I don't think if he were leaving the show that it would be kept quiet. The whole rehab thing and Izzie's comments last week would not have made sense. The spoilers are not saying that the second death will be a major character. I really still think it's Ellis for all of the reasons we have been talking about for days, even last week. I am more worried about how all of this with Meredith will effect Burke and Cristina's relationship. I hope she turns to him for strength and comfort like she did after she lost the baby or after Denny died. It could bring them closer. That's what I'm hoping any way.

Hey, Rose. Have you been able to access the forums? I haven't all day.
February 18th, 2007 12:30 AM
ok, seriously people..
there is only one problem here...and that is
BURKE AND CRISTINA haven't had sex for almost the entire season..
so what do you say let's drop the whole Meredith dead-alive thing..and get the BANG back in Action?
February 18th, 2007 12:32 AM
WELL, I finally came in off the Ledge.I thought I was going crazy thursday nite. Am I Loosing my mind,is anyone else wondering where Mer is other Cristina and myself. I'm yelling at the tele. Thinking, I know Cristina feels something is wrong. It seemed to me Derek was moving in slow motion in trying to track Meredith. ( A Ploy I am sure the writers set up). I'm telling you guys you are going to give me a heart attack. I will admit I love the suspense.
I'm happy for Izzie being able to hold her own and help the man she was working on. But, She did throw me off with her ramblings in the hallway while everyone was waiting to hear about Mer. I still don't know what George's marriage has to do with this situation .
February 18th, 2007 12:37 AM
Burke Backer--I am having no problems with the forums now. But they are all so quiet except for the episode thread that I suspect people are still having problems.
February 18th, 2007 12:53 AM
Sorry, I hit the wrong key. this is my continuation.
I fell in Love with Derek all over again when he came out of the water carring his sweetie. The disstressed and tortured look on his made me cry. He looked like someone had just pulled his heart out of his chest. I can't bare to see him in agony. In the ambulancewhile working on Mer,during the time the paramedic said something to him . I could have sworn I heard him say " She is All I have". ( Did I mention I was crying?) He truly is her knight in shining whatever. He looked SOoo exhausted when they got to the hospital. When Dr Weber told him to leave now, he looked like a man thinking " My life is over if I loose her." I wasn't to impressed with the way Weber,addision and bailey were handling this medical situation. ( This is one of their own). It seemed to me they gave up to easily (or) early. I thought, Cristina needs to be there.
I'm glad when I saw the promo's, Cristina was not taking any prisoners and laying down the law as what they should be doing. I tell you That Cristina is awesome every week. I know she will get Mer back. Their friendship/sisterly bond is bigger than life. I Love it.!!! Again thanks Shonda, for giving me another SLEEPLESS WEEK. ( smile). Love Ya. Girl!!!!!
February 18th, 2007 2:06 AM
Although I'm sure she will be saved by some miracle, I wouldn't be disappointed to see Meredith die. She's gotten quite annoying this season beginning with the whole "Finn and Derek can fight over me" deal. The other characters can carry on the show without her ever-present whining, and her "as surgeons we..." narration. I'd personally love to see Izzie step in as the lead female character. Meredith just isn't cutting it anymore.
February 18th, 2007 2:22 AM
I seriously don't think that the second death will involve Burke. Ellis Grey would be the most logical candidate for this. She's having a major heart surgery, which could cause her death. If it is Burke, it's going to be another story arc altogether. I mean, how can they kill of Burke in that very short span of time? He hasn't been ill and it can't be another gunshot, or something to that effect.
About Burke never going to be number one for Cristina - I definitely disagree with that. Cristina's relationship to both Burke and Meredith are completely different. Meredith is Cristina's best friend. Burke is the love of her life. Both of them mean a lot to Cristina, but on different levels. And Burke knows that. He is such an intelligent person and I know he'll understand Cristina sooner or later. This little thing wouldn't get into them because Burke will understand.
February 18th, 2007 3:33 AM
I know she did not play a very big role but what about the chiefs niece could she be the one that dies? Just a thought that crossed my minds.
As for those of you who misses sex scenes with Mer/Der and Burke/Cristina give me a break is that all that you care about? I like it better when it is all "subtle suggestive guessing" that's when it's really hot.
What are we going to talk about if there is a 3 weeks breaK?????
February 18th, 2007 3:52 AM
For many episodes we saw only few scenes between Derek and Meeedith because the focus were Tremor gate (Burke/Cristina) George/Callie and blah blah. Finally Derek and Meredith have the focus and I'M GLAD!
February 18th, 2007 4:30 AM
Ok, so yeah, Burke and Cristina became the focus of several episodes. But do you seriously think it is a treat for Bang fans? The writers made them the focus in a very stressful way for the fans for chrissake!
February 18th, 2007 8:04 AM
Preston Burke who has of late been in the great eye of controversy will suffer a major blow.
Could he be the one that dies at the end of next episode??
February 18th, 2007 10:06 AM
Belgian Grey, logically thinking, Burke is not going to be the one who dies at the end of next episode. They finished shooting the 3-episode story arc even before the Golden Globes. Isaiah Washington went to rehab after that great controversy, and two weeks later or so, there was news that he went back to the set and resumed shooting for the next episodes. Having said that, it is impossible for Burke to be killed off next episode. I'm betting that Ellis Grey would be the one to be killed off. It would be part of the Meredith coming back to life drama and all that jazz.
February 18th, 2007 10:19 AM
I seriously don't get it why people still think that Burke is going to die at the end of episode 17.
February 18th, 2007 10:50 AM
GimmeABreak I agree with your POV. The problem is that GA have 12 regulars. The writers forget that MerDer with Bang are the principal couples of the show. I'm glad for MerDer space (finally)
