AH, and I forgot to add -- I love how Mer handled Lexie. Loved it. I can't stand Lexie.Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Not one of my favorite episodes but I really liked the scene where Meredith finally tells Lexie why she does not want to be friends with her half-sister. I don't think it ever occurred to Lexie that the father she grew up with is not the same man who Meredith didn't grow up with. I was glad to hear Meredith admit that Derek does love her and he is perfect and she is so emotionally scarred that she's finding it really difficult to let him love her. Hopefully at some point she will realize that she can't let him wait forever, sometimes love, even an addictive love, just isn't enough.Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

So this was a good episode. We have to admit. But what is going on with Meredith and Derek? We realize in this episode that Mer is afraid to get into a relationship with Derek because of what happened with her mother and Thatcher. But does Derek know? I don't think he does, and now he might be second-guessing himself. Next... Izzie and George fit together well, but I still pitty Callie some. In my marriage, if my husband came home and didn't really love me any more and said "I'm going out with that supermodel doctor I work with so I'm divorcing you..." I would be so mad and upset. Callie deserves better treatment than this for a bit and then they can work out the fact that their marriage is going down. Lastly: Christina and Burke (or should I say, Mama Burke...) So we know that Burke's gone for good (and so is Isaiah Washington) but Mama comes back and delivers insults to pretty much everyone but Derek (who then feels guilty about being called 'honorable'). Then Christina finally comes and all Mama has to say is "I need the keys and the necklace" and ending with a grand "You WOULD'VE been a great surgeon (but Burke is gone and you won't be one... ever!). So total big episode and don't think I can wait another week. Ack.Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Oh,doesn't look good for Mer/Der.Did ya see the look on his face talking to Mama Burke and the end before he caved and ran after Mer? O'Malley's need to do"the truth". Will Bailey get the chief resident after all?Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Ok so I listened to the podcast for last night's episode and I totally didn't like the fact that Shonda said Derek is never going to get what he wants from Meredith, that she's never going to give him more than the S & M. She also said that you know he'd just love to be able to walk away from Meredith but he just can't do it. All I can say is that I hate the word "never" (in this particular context). This is when I need your positive thinking Matt. I find it hard to believe that Shonda would simply let it end there. I think the fact that Meredith verbalized to Lexie why she can't let Derek love her, gives Lexie the go ahead to perhaps help Meredith let Derek in. Whatever plan is in place I can't wait to see (if indeed Shonda is taking us in that direction), and perhaps the first step in that process is letting Lexie and Thatcher back into her life. Maybe if she gets to that point, letting Derek in won't seem so scary or prey on her vulnerabilities. I have no idea except for the fact that what Shonda said in her podcast kind of threw me for a loop...afterall I finally finished a Grey's episode and didn't feel emotionally drained like I did at the end of Season 3... I'd like to think the only way out of last season's despair is up!!! And Love/Addiction at least allowed me to laugh. P.S. This episode and Shonda's podcast seemed to label Derek's love for Meredith as an addiction which is often associated with the negative. I can't believe that their love is a negative thing. They have their issues and their baggage, but honestly who doesn't!Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Ughhhhh Trisha....I don't think I even want to listen to the podcast if this is how you feel afterwards. I think it's Shonda who actually needs the therapy. She's gonna mess with us fans one too many times and totally F*K up a great show! I feel so much frustration right now. I need some optimism and fast! This is way worse than a rollercoaster---I don't know what she's trying to do with this mess she's making of their relationship.Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

I know luvthisshow... just when I was starting to feel like we were finally moving forward. I'd like to think that what Shonda didn't say was that Meredith can get better and things don't have to be the way they are now. Oddly enough she also said we're happier for the fact that Derek just can't seem to walk away. I'm assuming she means because at least they're together in some fashion which like addiction is always better than nothing at all. I think you should still listen to the podcast luvthisshow as I'd be interested to hear your take on it. If it makes you feel any better the Mer/Der portion is not very long.Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

I was not swooned..and I am not happy with this episode...I have never been dissappointed in a Grey's Anatomy episode and I was utterly dissapointed. I think Shonda is half-assing Grey's Anatomy and half-assing Private Practice...Both these shows are becoming mediocre, and I didn't think Shonda would settle for that, but I guess she does.Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

Maybe I am just in a bad mood..maybe my thoughs will change after the next episode..I hope so I don't wanna feel like this after every episode of season 4Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #

See I generally love the light and funny nature of Season 4 so far and especially of last night. I was looking for something to grab onto with Mer/Der that would let me know things will get better. I'm hoping that Meredith's chat with lexie about her daddy issues will give Lexie the info she needs to push Meredith forward. I see lexie as the person who doesn't like to feel like shit but she understands that shit happens, whereas Meredith generally feels that she doesn't deserve better and that the shit has beat her. So in the end, I could see Lexie showing Meredith that shit happens but each of us has the power to shed our vulnerabilities and dig ourselves out of the shithole. I mean life is what we choose it to be and we either work through our adversity or let it get the best of us. Ultimately, I think we all have a choice. Meredith can work on her issues and learn to trust again if she chooses that's what she wants to do. Thje choice is hers really. She can drive Derek away or realize that she deserves and can be happy. Wow, that was really philosophical ... better get back to work.Posted 10/5/2007 1:00:00 AM #
