1. Drowning on Dry Land

   Obligatory "hello, I'm delurking myself, nice to meet you all!" Ok. So, did anyone else notice on the new clip on the ABC GA site, that right after the Chief says, "it's Ellis Grey's little girl," he then says, "This is MY..." and then Burke cuts him off. Now what do you suppose he was going to say next? I've seen posts in this forum before speculating that Meredith could be his daughter, and frankly, I didn't give the idea a lot of credence. But, those few words really jumped out at me, and playing the clip over a few times... well, now I really kind of wonder.

2. Drowning on Dry Land

   Oh, and I can't remember now who posted about the similarity to Buffy, but I was thinking the same thing. (Well, actually, I was thinking: Hmmm, I wonder if Shonda was a Buffy fan...) That's interesting news about the BTVS writer: which one is it?

3. Drowning on Dry Land

   Ah, not necessarily. Lots of biracial people are quite light skinned. (Hence the whole phenomenon of "passing" during the days of official segregation.) For that matter, look at Wentworth Miller on Prison Break. (Of course, any excuse to look at WM is a good one... but I digress.) In any case, my best guess would be that she's not his daughter, but that he suspects or believes that she is. I agree, they've really emphasized the similarities between Mer and Thatcher... BUT... nothing is accidental in the writing on this show, and you can bet that the Chief meant *something* by those three words. I'll be curious to see what.

4. Some Kind of Miracle

   Aaaaah... Karev just hit the nail on the head: "Meredith just... always makes me think that screwed up people have a chance." That's exactly what my friends and I always say about why GA is so appealing... except we include the whole cast, not just Mer. Because, I love them all, but let's face it, there's a whole lot of crazy to go around.
