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. :)
