this season is a little lost, all over the place, up and down, cluttered and basically a mess - yet i still think its ok drama and im still invested. after a few solid seasons ill allow them one to find its new groove. I just hope this bad run doesnt last like the last one (Season 4 - The Hospital Shooting)

The bad run imo started in October and ended with the episode right before Bailey's wedding. This show is finally getting back on track this season. I loved the tension between Arizona/Callie/Derek and Meredith/Christina. They need to keep the focus on them and give us less of those annoying new interns. Not one of them imo is a breakout character like Lexie or April were in the past.

I haven't watched in years but as soon as I read that Sandra Oh was leaving, I knew this was sure to follow, even if just an appearance!

I wouldn't be surprised if Shonda were testing the waters, though for a regular or at least recurring role. The show has been missing that arrogant, cocksure character who can also play the heavy.

I honestly miss Burke and while what Washington did was horribly wrong I think he apologized and enough time has gone by for him to return without much drama....at least I hope. Is Yang leaving with Owen? I honestly don't know how he could ever be with her after the abortion....much as I love Yang I just couldn't forgive someone who did that to me.

Well, apparently, who you are or what you may look like determines how long you should pay for a transgression. Isaiah losing his job and primary source of income and barely being able to find work was not enough. I guess he should have been tarred and feathered.

I don't watch Shonda shows that much any longer [and my heart goes out to Viola Davis should her show get picked up], but I agree that if Oh is leaving, Burke is part of that journey in order for the character to come full circle.

Its been so long (which makes me realize how quickly my life is flying by lol) but if I remember correctly he didn't exactly help himself with some of his public statements and actions after the incident occurred. Plus I know none of us were actually there to witness it but I remember there being a physical aspect to it in addition to the verbal abuse/derogatory word he used.

I do agree with your point but for me if he had simply apologized publicly and in private to TR he might have been able to keep his job. And there was this one awards ceremony that he said something off the rails that I was just like "HUH" and knew it was over for him.

But yeah Yang deserves nothing but the best for her farewell but now I worry that the show will lose its one lifeline. Cuz God knows Mer and Der are not giving me life these days. The interns are just not that engaging or as interesting as the Alex/Izzie/Mer/George/Yang crew were. The middle/older set of doctors is alright but if Owen is leaving that leaves Callie whos not as funny as she used to be and Arizona who's gone coocoo for coco puffs lately. I feel like I'm forgetting someone...OH Bailey....smdh...that in of itself says it all about that once glorious character.

It probably would have been fine if that loser, Katherine Heigle, had stayed out of it and not used that idiot, TK, and this situation to further her career. Who should apologize to whom is not my concern as I was not there. Grown ups in the work place need to learn to take their 24 hours to calm down and get back to work the next day. It would have been best had Washington not said anything public, but that is water under the bridge.

I did....I honestly wasn't expecting Christina to leave. I thought it was joke really but her last epsiode was a kind of gut wrenching. Call it denial but as the episode progressed it finally hit me and then the scene with her and Mer dancing to "Where Does The Good Go?" just had me bawling....

And her advice to Meredith and her little speech to Alex about how she's come to respect his abilities was EVERYTHING. Yang has seriously been one of the best characters to be on television in the last 10 of however many years Greys has been on the air...

Been getting back into the series after a long hiatus with it. I stopped watching this at the end of season 6 just because I felt that the show did a horrible job in maintaining their talent. It became a joke every time a cast member got fired or left. There was just a massive amount of talent bleed. Looking back it's obvious why Katherine Heigl left, she was in the midst of a burgeoning film career and was one of ten leads on a show, getting paid peanuts. It's obvious she wanted out, and did everything she could to leave the show. That being said the combined loss of Isobel and George from the original team harmed the show greatly, and the show has never really recovered. You could see that the writers tried to stem those losses but they never really healed over. Lexie and Owen were great standouts though. I never liked Callie or Arizona.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking
