Don't Judge Me Bailey
Tonight's episode...well, it was for me...uninspired. I've often referred to episodes as fillers and tonight was a filler. I'm okay with that though. They can't all be Emmy winners.
Anyway, I'll start with Mere and Der. I wonder if when casting for these roles, Shonda Rhimes said "I need two people with hopelessly dreamy puppy dog blue eyes." If so, she got what she was looking for. Meredith and Derek seem to be speaking two languages. One is spoken by other humans and one is just between them two. Derek could be saying aloud "Dr. Grey we need to inject the virus simultaneously. We need to be completely in sync." Yet his eyes are saying "I can't believe I let you go. I can't believe I didn't fight harder. I can't believe I'm dating a nurse." I wish Derek would just pull a Notebook move, build a house by hand and put a picture in the Seattle Times newspaper where Meredith would see it and coming running back to him. Impossible? I know...Derek could never build a house and Meredith would never be impressed by that.
Girl Love: So, I'm starting to think Callie is really into the idea of becoming a lesbian. Granted, she's nervous and is overcompensating by pouncing on Sloan all day. BUT, for a moment when Callie thought Hahn was just being a friend...I think she was sad. Let's be honest, Callie being a lesbian isn't that far of a stretch. I mean, George is pretty girly.
Speaking of George, when he's not having inter-hospital relations with women completely out of his league, he is pretty enjoyable. I would much rather watch a hour of George being the brown nosing Sex Police than watching him fondle Izzie. I actually forgot for a while how funny he is. And his sidekick Lexi is pretty great too. She's basically a girl version of George. Insecure, mousey, small, pale, foot in the mouth intern but every once in a while saves the day.
Izzie/Alex: I would have bet money on Izzie spilling the beans to Alex. I honestly didn't think it was possible for her to hold back telling him the Ava Rebecca is not with child. I wanted her to tell him and then run into his arms and say "we belong together Alex. I can't believe I ever thought George was attractive. You made TV Guide's sexiest men list...and I see that now." Maybe I should write this show.
Finally, Bailey's "Close your knees" speech was classic. Typical Bailey. Love it. However, is it really possible that Sloan had relations with most of the nursing staff? And if so, how in the world did he remember all of their names or have a form long enough? Maybe he posted a sign up sheet in the break lounge.
What are your thoughts on Meredith and Derek? Do you think they need to get over it and move on? Or are they really meant to be?

They will never get over each other and that will continue to be the on again off again reltionship of the show...part of you alwayw wants them to be...yet its almost as if their dreamy blue eyes operate as the N and S side of magnets wanting to join each other but forces push them away.
