The storylines were ok, but what I really didn't like was the pace of the episode. In the first 2 episodes the pace didn't hinder it too much as it covered 2 episodes (not that I cared much about the pace there either!)However, it really was awful as we covered a month and a half in 40mins. I was afraid to blink, because I might miss easter the way the pace of the episode was going.
The only good thing about it was the regular cast. The best scene was Mer, Cristina and Alex sharing what they are not thankful for, excellent!
I've also thought of a way to get rid of that cheerleader from Mercy West, the one who tried it on with Cristina. How about him falling into an empty elevator shaft (like Joey from friends departure in `The days of our lives`) If I think of other ways to get rid of the other 2 cheerleaders from Mercy West, I will post it, or if anyone else has any good ideas on how to purge Grey's of the 3 Mercy West Cheerleaders, I will be very happy to read about it.
Reed: Hi, we haven't met, but you do know my work. I'm the writer who started working here at the beginning of Season 4. I made you look stupid and crazy when you were messing around with denny. This season year, I'm responsible for this Mercy West/Seattle Grace merger where you lose your job. Oh, and by the way I got rid of T.R. and I made damn sure he won't be coming back.
Izzie: You little bitch, I am going to rearrange your fake plastic face of yours!

I thought that having some new faces in Grey's would take it back to where it was before season 4. But now after witnessing that episode, I'm sad to say that I'm getting a bit fed up by all these new faces and I'm getting more and more disinterested in Grey's. I caught the little line about Burke, but I also saw the absence of Eric Dane as well. I'd rather know more about Sloan than those orange cheerleaders from Mercy West. I really think the writers have gone TOO far with this story line because I thought the episode really sucked! I am presently watching the old seasons, because they're far better quality than the current season.
It strikes me as strange that the writing in Grey's had begun to nose dive, right around the time that Private Practice began. Just a thought!
I wish TR the very best in his future career and hope to be seeing him in another big project before long.
So, no more George! and what has this left us with?
We are left with the fact that Grey's `famous` five, mer, cristina, izzy, alex and george will be broken up! Will this mean the end of Grey's as we know it? If a new member for the five does not appear in next seasons grey's (and fairly soon into it) then I think that grey's might not recover from this!
So its in the hands of Shonda, and I hope she has something lined up, or I am going to get really annoyed! along with quite alot of others!
Again, I find myself going off on another rant. Does anyone at ABC know how to keep talent? This is the 3rd decent actor to leave Grey's (Isaiah Washington and Brooke Smith being the other 2).
What can I say, simply put "IDIOTS"
By the by, I want to wish every success in the future to T.R. he is an excellent actor and anyone who doesnt employ him soon are fools. Grey's lost, others gain!
Do you know, this is the only fun I'm going to have during the summer, along with watching Grey's re-runs until the new season starts. It is nice to have something to look forward to everyweek Grey's related. Thanks guys!
Meredith in the background watching Hunt and Callie running towards the incoming ambulance: What are those idiots running after now? God, they are just like dogs running after bones, but instead of bones its traumas. Trauma Junkies!
A voice from the room:
"Well its PRETTY AND PRETTIER! How did you manage to track me down? I've been keeping a low profile since I got fired!"
PRETTY AND PRETTIER just smile back, because they have really missed being called that. Secretly, they rather prefer to be called that than to MCDREAMY AND MCSTEAMY.
Cristina: It's not my fault! I had nothing to do with you not getting any sexy scenes with McDreamy. Talk to the writers, they're the idiots ruining this show!
I can just see the writers talking to TR.
`You are a Naughty, Naughty boy!!! You must do what you are told in future if you want to play with the rest and stop telling us how to do our jobs!`
Sloan: Little Grey you brought some friends to meet little Sloan? Look little Sloan, its bring hot friends to the on call room today, boy we are SOOOOOOOO! lucky?
Right, where do I start? Sadie's character is getting too much airtime, as she is taking away from other important characters, such as George. When one of the interns called George "dude", I hoped it was time to see George do something dramatic to squash the idiotic interns, but again, we get nothing of any value except George missing the obvious that Lexie is in love with him.
Regarding the Denny, Izzie storyline. The writers have to deal with the fact that they killed him off in Season 2, you cannot raise the dead!! You killed him, you have to let him go writers!
On the plus side, Sloan and Callie was a great hi point as well as Hunt and Cristina starting to communicate. But the best point was Alex ready to beat the living hell out of that loud mouth intern.
Seriously, what is Shonda and the other writers playing at. This is Grey's Anatomy!! It has nothing to do with ghosts!! Quit messing around and get back to the lead character, Meredith Grey. By the by, has TR Knight been fired? I ask since I haven't seen him much lately on our screens. I thought that O'Malley was still an important, LIVE character and I thought that Denny was dead!!
Seriously, what are they trying to do with the show with the ghost of denny kissing Izzy? Maybe they're trying to sell the show to appear on the Sci Fi Channel. This regretfully was the lowest point of GA that I have witnessed to date. Do not do another `Bobby in the shower scene from Dallas`!!! and get a grip! I think the writers have a bigger problem in letting Denny go than Izzy! Move on for God's sake!
I think there is more here than meets the eye as Alexholic says that maybe the writer should have been fired too. Brooke was only doing her job as prescribed by the writers, so the main fault should be with the writers and not with the actress. And if this is not the case, then there could have been more to this than what we are being told.
I think ABC should admit that they have made, not one but two stupid mistakes regarding Grey's Anatomy, firstly they should never had fired Isaiah Washington as that was a personal issue that would have been sorted out between TJ, Patrick and Isaiah themselves. Secondly, the firing of Brooke which is something of a mystery to me.
Season 4 was poor compared to the other 3 seasons, this was put down to the writers strike, but I think that the vaccum left by Isaiah Washington was a major contributing factor. Just as Grey's is starting to fire on all fronts this Season, ABC throw another spanner in the works.
ABC should admit they were wrong and not only get Brooke back but also Isaiah as well. It would make for fantastic storylines.

I just saw the promo for the next episode. There is chaos at Seattle Grace, which I think reflects the chaos in the writers office!
ABC were quick to get rid of Hahn and burke from Grey's, maybe they should start looking at the writing staff next?
