ABC26 Entertainment - Grey's Anatomy

I would like to begin with a nod to the opening of tonight's episode. It was refreshing, old school Grey's. A fastest thinker study group in the living room complete with a frantic Christina, an anxious Meredith and a pleasantly overbearing Preston Burke who is just looking for a decision on a wedding cake from his bride. Speaking of his bride, I would like to crown Christina Yang, my favorite character tonight. She was old fashioned, beat you to the finish line, girl talk makes me cringe, trauma gives me a high Christina Yang. And I love her.

Tonight, the primetime medical mystery was a man in severe pain and a fish who swam a little too far upstream. I could have done without seeing the fish after it was removed, but whatever.

Now on to the drama. The Izzie/George/Callie drama is out of control. George needs to buck up and confess to Callie. I'm sure some of you are shaking your heads, but let's be real...danger is ahead. Whether cheating George decides to confess or not, something is going to bust up the Dream Team. However, the fact that George looked into another hospital is a little melodramatic. I know its in George's nature to freak out, but moving to another hospital is just ludacris. We already have one doc jumping ship, we dont need another. Speaking of jumping ship, can they give Big Red any more reasons to move away. She thinks McSteamy broke their promise and Alex dismissed their closet quickie with a very kind "you're not my girlfriend." If I were Addy, I'd be in Cali before I could finish singing the Laguna Beach theme song. Next week seems to jam packed with juicy drama. Two hours of face slapping, tear jerking, pack your bags fun! Will Addy's new show be a hit? I'll be watching it...as if that means anything.

Observations:
1. Have you ever seen an inter-office hookup? I work at a TV station and I have yet to see people mugging down in the Master Control room. Maybe I'm naive or maybe I'm just hanging out in the wrong departments.
2. As I stated last week, Izzie has my vote for Maxim's top 10. However, when she rocks the 80's tidal wave bangs, I want to rethink that vote.
3. Anyone notice Dawson Leary's mom? Nice to see she hasn't changed her hair since 1997.
4. If Meredith would have said the word "communicating" one more time, I would have thrown my laptop at the TV.

Favorite Quote:
Izzie: You're my penis fish.
George: You don't even have a penis, why am I the fish?

And finally, I hate to say this but Derek is getting on my last nerve. He's got the girl, he's got a great job and tons of money and its still not enough. He can't get over the fact that Meredith didn't swim. Really? Is that why you can't decide if you want to be with her or not? I think Derek is reading into the whole drowning thing a little too much. He's probably going to screw things up and Meredith will go back into her dark and twisty place. For now that's ok with me, seeing Meredith all bubbly is actually kind of weird. :)

I want to start tonight's post by saying, I was 3 sentences shy of a completed blog when I hit a wrong key and deleted the whole thing. Bah humbug!

In the world of beautiful people, Izzie Stevens ranks pretty high. If there were a Maxim's top 100 in Grey's Anatomy land, Izzie would rank in the top 10. That being said, Izzie has more drama than a season one episode of the OC or a Spanish soap opera. In case you have forgotten, let's refresh. Izzie is a child of the trailer park who paid for med school with an underwear modeling contract, she dated a fellow intern only to find out he was doodling the syphillis nurse, she fell in love with a dying patient and bascially killed him after agreeing to marry him, she slept with her betrothed best friend and is now transporting bone marrow into her biological daughter's cancer infested body. The bad latte I had from Strabucks seems pretty miniscual compared to that. And then there's George. The guy who she is hopelessly trying to mend a relationship with. The guy who couldn't make a top 10 list if he asked George Clooney to pretend his last name was O'Malley. This is the same guy who has slept with 4 different Seattle Grace women, a record higher than any other resident, chief, intern or attending. I just wanted to reiterate how unbelieveable I think that statistic is. The other characters on the show were given minimal attention. Meredith still has bad hair and commitment issues, along with an overprotective fake mommy. Christina still has a struggle to retain her sense of self, while doing her best to avoid being a Stepford wife. Then there's Callie, still vying for the attention of her bad husband. And McDreamy is still McArrogant. The cover of TV Guide must have gotten to his head because his level of confidence is out of control. If he isn't careful, people will begin to confuse him for McSteamy. In conclusion, I was ok with this epsiode. It wasn't so much a filler episode but a starter episode. I look forward to the weeks to come.
