ABC26 Entertainment - Grey's Anatomy

I've said this before, but I will say it again. Grey's Anatomy affects my breathing. Literally, there are not one but several moments in one episode where I either hold my breath or just forget to continue. Tonight, I decided to document these specific moments.

First was Meredith's creepy dream sequence. Although I didn't all together lose my breath, I did skip one while watching dead Meredith say to herself "Pick me. Choose Me. Love Me." I understand that this desperate speech may haunt her forever, but did we need to see another version of blue, lifeless Meredith. We already have the image of McDreamy carrying her out of the water. How many times can the color of her skin resemble her scrubs? Also, I thought we were going to see Denny again. Im glad Shonda chose another path.

My second respiratory lapse was Callie's proclamation of George's adulterous acts in front of all of the interns. I was shocked, but not surprised Callie chose to disseminate her anger in such a way. I was however surprised with Christina's reaction. I know she has yet to breakdown about Burke but is she that sensitive to their devious acts? I would have never pegged Yang as a champion for loyalty. I see this developing.

Third,the Alex and Ava Rebecca scene. (I don't know which name she prefers, so I will refer to her as both). I'm not sure where the "suck face" phrase originated but Seattle Grace is keeping it alive. Alex literally inhaled her entire lip region almost engulfing her nostrils and chin. I lost my breath here because I was feeling her pain...or joy...whatever.

I mometarily gasped when the man cut off his foot. In the end, the scene resembled a lame chainsaw sequence that you would see in a movie like Scream 2. However, the sound plus the squirting blood, made me lose a few inhales. Basically, if you have respiratory issues, this is not the show for you.

Observations:
When did Izzie and George discuss being "together"? Last time I checked, he was ending the marriage with Callie but they did not discuss being "together". Also, if they are supposedly waiting on being "together" for Callie's sake, why were they so close all episode? Izzie was basically sitting on George's lap during lunch. I have never been more anxious for a relationship to end since Marissa and the bisexual girl on the OC.

More on Izzie and George...Did anyone think Izzie was about to jump on top of George when he was giving his "I would have given my father my heart" speech. Not that they would have done that, but I bet she was thinking it.

Dr. Sydney "Happy Face" although insanely annoying and chipper, was hilarious tonight hitting on McDreamy. Were there shepherds in your lineage? That is classic.

Funny how the President of the Nurses United Against Mark Sloan is our favorite red headed STD nurse. Maybe McSteamy should take a second glance before flirting in her direction.

Finally, my last question to you is...if Ava Rebecca left her silky button-down shirt behind for Alex, what did she wear to leave the hospital? Wouldn't a simple note have been more appropriate?

AHHHHHHHH!!!!! My mind is racing, my heart is pounding and I am fighting the urge to call every single person in my cell phone. I don't even know where to start, but I guess I will begin where my heart stopped beating. Derek Shepherd is not only physically, but mentally and emotionally the epitome of a perfect man. Maybe not everyone's perfect man, but he is damn near close. He is sensitive, he is attractive, he is a Neurosurgeon for crying out loud and he is ready and willing to devote his life to the woman he loves. And Meredith wants more???? She wants him to wait??? Can someone please call Dr. Phil before I slap the crap out of her. When and where in TV land have we ever seen a male character so willing to stop his world for a woman. Not since The Notebook. Please fill me in if you can think of another. I just can't fathom how long Derek will possibly wait around for her. In the meantime, women should be lining up at this trailer door for a chance. He could have his own reality show. A Shot At Love with Dr. McDreamy. Or The Bachelor: Seattle Grace. I guarantee it would be a hit.

On to our next Resident Idiot...Izzie Stevens. Not only does she sleep with her married best friend, but she makes a mockery of the situation. If I were Callie, I would have ripped her blonde bobbing pony tail out of her head. The cafeteria scene was straight out of an 80's high school flick. However, Izzie with her dukes up was pretty priceless. Callie has never been my favorite character on the show but tonight, she gets a gold star from me. She stood up to Izzie like a champ and made her feel like the deceitful person that she is. High five for Callie. And to prove that life isn't fair, after participating in an adulterous act...Alex (in a backwards way) admits he still has feelings for her. Not fair. Don't get me wrong, I love the Alex and Izzie duo. He always seems to save the day when Izzie is falling apart. Tonight, it may have only been a peace offering box of kleenex with a snide remark but it still made me say Awwwwwwww!

Finally, this may have been the first episode this season that I cried. Camille's "take me home" speech was too much for me to handle. It seems like just yesterday that Derek and Meredith were having sex at her prom. Oh, how time flies by.

Observations:
Why would Izzie take off her tennis shoes before a fight? Wouldn't that give her more bounce in her step? Also, did she pull off clip on earrings before she put up her dukes? If so, we have bigger problems than her love life.

If Seattle Grace were a real hospital, wouldn't it be shut down by now? I just think they make one too many mistakes.

In the end, we can only follow in the footsteps of the woman who went in for a mole removal and was told she was dying, by living life to the fullest.

If Grey's Anatomy was an NBC show, Christina Yang would be the Last Comic Standing. Without a doubt. I fear that there are few actresses in the world as phemomenal at comedic delivery as Sandra Oh. Some days, I wish it was Yang's Anatomy...it could make for a less depressing Thursday night. Christina faking depression is by far the funniest thing to happen in Season 4. My question is...why would Meredith ever believe she wasn't faking? Come on. It was a given.

On to more heart-wrenching storylines. George. Wow. First, his "It's not you and me, it's me" speech. Ouch. That's exactly what the other woman wants to hear, the truth. And of all people to tell the truth to...Izzie. That girl lives on Planet Love where doctors and patients live harmoniously in bliss and frolick though happy fields of dandylions. My question is, why is the hottest girl on the show the most desperate and greasy bangs Meredith always has a wavy-haired god following her every move? That gives meaning to the phrase, LIFE IS NOT FAIR.

In reference to little miss Lexi. I am over her character. Either she needs to bring some drama or move on. The puppy faced, my sister hates me schtick is overrated. Slap Meredith in the face or go make out with McDreamy. I am over Lexi following Meredith's whitecoat tails like a dog. It's time for her to have a breakdown...or sleep with a resident. whatever.

Some observations...

I'm not sure when Grey's became ER, but the needle in the eye scene was the first time I have turned away from Grey's in 4 seasons. Shonda needs to calm the gruesome-ness down.

Alex is still a jerk. Just when I start to love him...I hate him again. Boooo Alex.

I wish there were more scenes with the Fab 5. The Izzie-instigated moment of kind words for really old guy was classic. I wish there were more.

Finally, some days I truly believe I could be a Grey's Anatomy writer. Not that the ending scene wasn't completely predictable but I kept repeating to myself "He's gonna say it, He's gonna say it" AND HE DID. The truth is out and there will be a girl fight in the cafeteria. If I had to pick, Izzie would be a Plastic and Callie would be Lindsay Lohan. Izzie is going to get her cute behind kicked back to Trailerville and I can't wait.

A glass of wine. A glass of wine is all it takes and Grey's Anatomy is once again my favorite show. I know that doesn't say much. After a few glasses of wine, I could say Kid Nation is a good show. But tonight, a glass of wine and I am back in love with Grey's. Last week, I was skeptical. To me, it was a slow start. I wasn't feeling the power that GA normally has over me. However, tonight Shonda is my number one girl again. I loved everything tonight. I loved Christina's wedding present market place in the middle of the hospital. One espresso maker = one ticket into surgery. I love that our favorite interns are now residents. I even love the Grey's Anatomy logo at the end of the episode followed by the Shondaland graphic. Anywho...here is a little more of how I feel tonight.

Meredith...one minute she is quirky and cute and cleverly witty. And the next minute she is mean and bitchy and basically a slutty man. Sometimes I think she should shack up with McSteamy because she is heartless. Other times, I think she is just wounded. And as far as Derek...he needs to snap out of it. I know he can't. But, he needs to teach ole Mere a lesson.

Next, George and Izzie. My least favorite topic in the history of all things disgusting. Their "almost" kiss, made me want to vomit. His "my marriage is over" speech was despicable. Seriously, give me a break. In the ending scene, when Callie was begging George to not say anything...I thought Callie looked like a mother leading her GAP-wearing son out of the hospital and taking him to McDonald's for a happy meal. And finally, although I think she is drop dead gorgeous, hilarious in Knocked Up and flawlessly perfect...I would never be friends with Izzie Stevens. I mean, not only will she sleep with your husband, she will compliment you profusely after and try to be your BFF. That is drawing the line.

Observations:

Alex, please shave your face now.
Bailey + Alex = best scene ever.
Meth patient was also Marissa's gardener boyfriend on THE OC.
George is shorter than Izzie...vomit again.
Burke's mama put Christina on the verge of a breakdown. I see one coming really soon.

Overall, fantastic episode. I don't think the previews really eluded to much but needless to say, I will be tuning in.
