i think it was wrong for izzie to say he made a mistake marrying callie. she is the one who told him that if callie made him happy, he should be with her. she may not have meant for him to go get married, but as his best friend she should respect the fact that it was his choice and support him in what makes him happyPosted 2/16/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Ok. I am not going to cry.. I am not going to cry... Mer comes back to life...right...right? I'm happy for Izzie and her being a "rockstar" and everything, but what about Mer. Poor Derek, he is going to be so lost without her.Posted 2/16/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Loved the whole episode, but I had to say my favorite part was when Sloan went and just sat down by Derek. You can see how close they were before the rift occured between them.Posted 2/16/2007 1:00:00 AM #

it was truly a great episode...my favorite part was Mer's last narration... MEREDITH: [narrating] "Like I said, disappearances happen. Pains go phantom. Blood stops running and people, people fade away. There's more I have to say, so much more, but... I disappeared." I'm a writer, and the amazing writing behind this show makes me all the more appreciativePosted 2/16/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Mer's slow sinking was beautiful and painful and crushing in its own way. She has been sinking for a while, it seems, and her monologues often talk about how she finds surgery easier than the day-to-day horrors and stress of being a grown up with her particular set of problems. It is horrible and yet in a way understandable that she would not have the fierceness that it would take to go to the surface. When Izzy was ranting at the end about survival, it was a little shocking -- that kind of bright blonde rock star faith up against Meredith's dark and twisty sinking into the depths of her own thoughts, her own dark waters. She thinks too much, Meredith. She is too aware, and no happiness ever comes from that kind of hyper-awareness. It is a huge contrast, her and Izzie. When Izzie was on the bathroom floor no one doubted that was a temporary state. Every time Meredith lies down, even from season one when she slid down the door holding that coffee cup in her bathrobe, there is a bit of doubt about whether she will get up. It is not good or bad, this contrast, it is just the way they are. Whether she gets up this time ... only one other show has pulled off this kind of tease, and that was Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Crazy good, that story line. That Shondra wrote the next episode with a BTVS writer is a good sign. It took me a long time to figure out why the end of the show was so jarring ... not because of Denny, I had read the spoilers (my first time to do that, will not be doing that again - it definitely detracts from the show). It was shocking because there was no monologue. No Meredith to close us out, to guide us along. The GA closings are often very long, several minutes, and this time, nothing. The opening monologue was more than enough I suppose, with its haunting play on the disappearance theme. My only hope is that the little girl was seen through the crowd by her mom, who scooped her up ... she is far from okay, that child, but she is alive and safe physically. Perhaps next week Mer will be somehow alive physically if still far from okay. But if not, then not. Then Burke can be Christina's "person." Then Izzie, finally really alone and at that point also homeless, may be able to wake up and breathe again. And Derek will be able to look at himself and find a bottom to push off of that is not another female ... his sister called it, he needs some time to center himself, and one fishing trip is not enough time to settle a soul. Don't get me wrong, I would prefer a lucid Grey on Grey's Anatomy ... but if we lose her, I will understand it. As for the other characters, GA is one of the best shows at saying so much without saying anything. The way Mark touches Derek's arm. The way Christina slowly melts/sinks into herself when she realizes what is happening. The way Alex's face registers anger and helplessness and a slow boil of ... something, something we and he do not understand yet. Alex will be interesting to watch next week. I never thought I would see the day when I was more interested in what was happening with Alex than with George, but that day is definitely here. Will Alex continue to progress as a person if Mer dies, or will his angry defense mechanisms catch up with him? If they do, that may be when he and Addison get together. He acts out when he is helpless and she is prone to inappropriate and angry sex during times of grief. Some people have commented on how the surgeons do everything around Seattle Grace, and it does seem odd that there are no staff members. No desk clerks. No admission staff. No quality control people. No lawyers. I am okay with this. It is a willing suspension of disbelief on my part. Yes, in another hospital maybe a PR person would have been down in the clinic instead of Alex. But if Seattle Grace had invested in a PR person, then we would not have reaped the rewards of watching Alex in action last night. Quite the contrast from season one, when Dr. Korev would have been stealing patients instead of crawling around the morgue taking pictures in an effort to help bring closure to panicked families. Lots of things are happening, lots of things to discuss. One thing I do know is as much as I appreciate the ferry crash for its brutal nature and its SL catalyst potential ... I will be happy when Grey's regains the intimacy and character-focus we know and love.Posted 2/16/2007 1:00:00 AM #

On a related note, I just watched the promo for next week for the fourth or fifth time. It is all about Derek and I hope the theory that he will do the voice over is right, because that would be amazing. But I don't know about y'all ... the point in the promo that made my throat catch was when Christina is fiercely saying "Try Again!" It is especially touching because the rest of the promo is moving fast, and in those few seconds they really focus on Christina ... and her hair is all messy there, and she looks so lost and so angry, almost feral. It reminded me of a few episodes ago, when she was talking to Meredith about her dad and saying "My apartment is messy, my locker is messy, but I am not messy," and making that motion in front of her face to emphasize she is talking about her personal appearance. That was a funny scene, but heartbreaking in contrast to the mess she looks in the promo.Posted 2/16/2007 1:00:00 AM #
