that said, it took them a while but finally they have this season where it should'v been when it started. the drama, the tension, the romance! i hope it ends up being worth the wait and that they don't let the good writing petre out to an anti-climax.
you're a doctor. your 5-year-old daughter is kidnapped, killed then raped and finally burned in a field for you to find. (this happens all to often where i live so it's not unrealistic). then one day while on duty, you are told to save the life of the man who did this to your daughter and countless other children. how can you not understand the ethical dilemma some of the doctors find themselves in????
cristina's reaction is understandable. as a doctor though, she shouldn't let that get in the way of treating a patient. but that's where experience comes in. this is how people learn. so we can't hate on her for acting the way she is.
Wow, it seems the "gay card" gets abused in the US just as much as the "race card" here in South Africa, where if something goes wrong the default response is: "Is it cos I'm black?". Only with the US it's: "Is it cos I'm gay?"
Doesn't make sense.
On the topic though, I think TR's reduced screen time is probably because he's a total ass on set. I would believe that before I believe he's being targeted for being gay.
In the promo clip for next week, couldn't it be Addison that Sloan is kissing? I dunno, Lexie going from being totally in love with George the one minute and then making out with Mark the next is a bit hard to believe. But hey, I won't put anything past these people...
I would definitely miss it. The unanswered questions would probably force me to hunt down Shonda and make her tell me how it ends LOL.
My favourite part of this episode was the usually "in-control" Hunt, totally losing it over Cristina.
The way he stammered and said stupid things, how he got all nervous and shy...so sweet:-)
Least favourite which I'm sure you can guess: the painful continuation of the DennyDebacle.
Everything we need to know is in the first episode?
Man this is starting to feel like the pre-release hype surrounding the final Harry Potter book all over again LOL.
Didn't know JK Rowling was giving classes on how to release arbitrary and mostly vague statements that send fans into a manic state as they try to make sense of it all...
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!
Why can't we just skip to the episode where Shonda makes her point. Having to watch this Denny/Izzie thing week in and week out without having a clue as to what it means is driving me crazy! Do you think they're actually gonna try to pull off the whole "Denny wasn't really dead" plot? Or "Izzie's lost her marbles" plot? Or heaven forbid, "The whole season so far has been a dream" plot????!!!!
The first ep was called Dream A Little Dream of Me. What if it turns out that somewhere in the middle of the season, Izzie "wakes up" from what turns out to have been a really really long, 13-episode dream?????
I don't know how the writers are gonna spin this. I almost don't want to know!
dubheasa, you can catch the clip of cowen's first meeting on youtube.
And i loved this scene - that line specifically. Because Owen starts off saying "I don't need you to be sorry" and then it changes to "I don't need you..."
Like he's trying to convince himself that he's fine without Cristina. Like he doesn't want to get involved, not ready or whatever.
But then he kisses her. And you just know - the way he looks at her. He's so whipped LOL
This is disappointing news. It's lame and tired and not at all expected from writers of a (once) award-winning show!
As great as Denny was, this whole reprise of his character and Izzie flying over the cuckoo's nest is irritating to say the least.
Not only is this possibly the worst Grey's storyline in my opinion, but it's monopolising screen time! Forcing all things George, MerDer, etc to be passed over in a few seconds worth of scenes per episode since the beginning of this season.
Looks like KH created an impression with her Emmy-denial and now the writers want her to leave the show with a statuette in her hand. Welcome to Stevens' Anatomy.
Well they'll have a few questions to answer if that is the case.
Mer saw Denny when she was dead. Why have someone alive appear with all the other dead people?
And also, with Denny around lately, why is Izzie the only one who sees him?
So I think he is dead.
I never liked the whole "my ghost comes back to help you" plot and I'm not liking it now.
It feels too much like a cop-out. Like a case of writer's block that ends with "I know! Let's bring back the dead guy."
When he says things are going to get "complicated" between Owen and Cristina - could this mean a possibility of Burke returning???????
Or maybe just a referral to Owen being damaged by the war and Cristina being damaged by Burke and how they deal with and heal blah blah relationship blah.....?
I agree. It would be good to see Callie and Sloan's relationship develop into something more than just hot sex. That's to say - if Sara isn't leaving the show as well.
I agree. It doesn't make sense to punish an actor for doing his/her job. The writers and probably more Shonda should've been counselled for what ABC thought was "wrong" or whatever. I think there's something else. And hopefully it'll make it's way into the open soon.
Oh and Cristina isn't slapping Owen in the promo.
Looks like she's catching up with him at Joe's. She touched his arm and he probably didn't know she was there and got a fright. Like his army paranoia coming out or something...
MerDer have had the monopoly of screen time for what, 4 seasons now? I was so tired of the whole on-again-off-again-back-and-forth. They really overstretched it.
I like the fact that they are taking time to develop more of the other characters. We know where we left MerDer and they're fine. So let's see what's happening with everyone else. I appreciate the break...
A few weeks ago I would've agreed about bringing Burke back. But now Owen's here. And he's going to be great for Cristina.
In just a few episodes we've seen him challenge her emotionally and intellectually. We have seen a Cristina we hadn't seen before. And it's because of Owen. Even Burke and their love couldn't do that. So I'm okay with no Burke. As great as that was. This is a new era for Grey's Anatomy and Cristina Yang. I think we'll be seeing a major metamorphosis of character where she's concerned. And that's great compared to her basically doing nothing all of Season 4.
