We're coming up on 24 hours to showtime and TV Guide's Michael Ausiello has some interesting Grey's Anatomy spoilers and news in his latest column. We have excerpts from the venerable TV sleuth's weekly Q & A below...
Q: Did Shonda Rhimes mislead everyone? Is she reviving the George and Izzie plot line instead of killing it? It sure looked that way in the premiere and the previews for this week's episode.
A: You should know by now that those promos only tell half the story. Take it from someone who has seen the entire episode, the couple is dealt a setback this Thursday when George ... let's just say ... he makes an important decision that sets the stage for Episode 3, "Let the Truth Sting." Keep in mind, Shonda hinted that that the fling wouldn't come undone until word got around Seattle Grace. In other news, Derek also makes a decision at the end of the episode that'll make all you Mer-Der fans swoon.
Q: Can you please provide some Grey's Anatomy scoop? Preferably on whether or not Cristina will get a new love interest.
A: Before she can get a new love, she has to purge the old one from her system. And she'll do just that this Thursday when Mama Burke drops by Seattle Grace to administer a dose of tough love. And Cristina isn't the only person she goes all Dr. Phil on. Diahann Carroll takes Meredith to task for a "selfish," "inappropriate" thing she did in May's season finale. And don't even think of asking for a hint.
Q: I hear you've seen this week's Grey's Anatomy. Please tell me it's better than the season premiere. Izzie tending to a deer? WTF?
A: I forgot to tell you the most important thing about Thursday: It's fraktacular! If you were longing for the good ol' Grey's Anatomy, it makes a big comeback tomorrow night. It has all the snap, crackle and pop of a Season 2 episode. And speaking of triumphs, Chandra Wilson gives a performance that has "2008 Emmy Reel" written all over it. I know it's early, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Supporting Actress trophy is hers to lose.

I loved the premier! Its going to take time for all the fun to come back. There were issues from the first epsiode that needed to be addressed first before things could move forward. I'm really excited about the new season! Tomorrow night sounds great! Naturally, I love Mer/Der. Wonder what Der is going to say to make us Mer/Der fans swoon? He'll probably tell Meredith that he will wait for her no matter how long it takes because he loves her that much! Maybe he'll say to her that he wants her to be the mother of his children and his wife someday and he loves her enough to wait until she is ready! She is the love of his life! Wouldn't that be GREAT? I can't wait until the day comes when Meredith is more confident and feels that she can trust Derek and surprises him by telling him how much she truly loves him. He always initiates things between them and you know he would love it if she made the first move for a change! That would show him that she is more confident and is learning to trust him more! I just want a bright and shiny future for them!
I am so pleased with Shonda's plans for them at this point and I just hope it continues!!

I hope its good!!! Yay its on tonight!
October 4th, 2007 9:35 AM
Oh my goodness! I am looking forward to tonight now! I am going to stare at the TV screen for an hour (maybe longer, since I have TiVo and no school tomorrow) to see the thing that McDreamy does to make Mer swoon. I am also wondering what Mer did in the season finale that was so "selfish and rude"? I guess we will find out tonight. 9 and a half more hours! It will probably seem like 24.
