They should of started off the season with a bigger bang than that, they do have big competition now with CSI. I liked the episode, but I definantly think CSI won in the ratings tonight, if they didn't I'll be shocked. Next week looks great, poor christina having to go up against Burk's mom(Dianhn Caroll). YIKES!!!! :mellow:

I have to admit that I didn't really like the first episode. It may just be the season premiere blues, but nothing grabbed me like I thought was going to happen. I didn't get to see the season finale in May or the syndicated one either so I'm a little lost. Hopefully, things will pick up by Episode 2. Looks like Burke's mother comes to town and isn't fond of Christina.

IA with those that say there was not much to talk about. It seemed like a March kind of episode instead of a September one. For a show that is so big on the bang I expected something more well... bangin! LOL. In any case, It was still excellent. Definitely no drop in quality or interest value. Just... a bit not what I would've wanted after not seeing it for so long!!

What i liked was the flashbacks to back in the day. I think the show has finally established itself where flashbacks are important to us!!

I hope it does well. I've never seen CSI, and am not interested in it and think that GA is a great competitor for it!!

I'm so glad it's back, but ITA that this was just a good episode, not a great one.

Meredith continues to waffle.

Izzy's grief wasn't given enough time, imo.

I didn't care for the Bailey/Omar subplot. It seemed out of character to me for her to give up so much of her time for one patient whom she really couldn't even treat.

Burke & Christina were barely on.

I did love the flashbacks, though. How funny for Meredith to recall her mom & Richard's breakup, which she probably didn't understand at the time. It was great to see the mixer where the residents first met, imo. Best of all for me, was seeing how hurt Derek really was by Addison's affair.

I have no idea how a parent doesn't notice that a 14-year-old is pregnant, but if half the talk shows on the air can be believed, it has happened.

Poor George still couldn't bring himself to say "I love you" when he doesn't feel it yet. In a way, I can't blame him.

Wow, was this the first time Derek told Meredith he's in love with her? I was hoping she'd chose McVet, but it looks like McDreamy might win out.

Next week looks fantastic from the preview!

I thought the premiere was great. It started off kind of slow but the ending was amazing.

Addison at the end when she put the panties on the bulletien board :o wasn't expecting that. I think she knows. The flashbacks were amazing. Loved the Derk and Meredith one as well as the one with Addison and Derek and the one with Izzie and Kerev.

Meredith has Mcvet and Mcdreamy vying for her affections now. I liked Cali and George in this episode and I usually dislike them.

At the end with Christina and Burke amazing acting. She just broke down and said don't ever die. Which was new she almost never breaks down and she did after Danny's death. Seeing Izzie's struggle was a good underlying theme. Izzie and Mere have the best friednship chemistry there scenes were really good. Ellen almost never cries or give much emotion but she did in this one she was very warm and caring threw out the entire episode and it's a major acting improvement she seems more like a protaginist now where as in the last two seasons she seemed soo detached, cold and desperate.

I feel like her acting has improved tremendously. She was soo good in the bathroom gloor scenes and with Cali, Derek and McVet and I don't know I got a better feel from her then her previous work.

These actresses continue to work. Word about Miranda Bailey she was amazing in the Quarentine.

After reading everyone's comments I was totally confused because this wasn't the episode that I had watched! Needless to say, CTV (Canada) aired the second episode of this season not the first episode!!!! WTF??? The second episode was really good and everything but I really did actually want to watch the first episode. Once CTV realizes their screw up I am sure they will air the first one. I won't ruin it for everyone as to what happened in the second episode but lets just say the last 3 minutes left me giddy! :D

I thought something was up! That explains everything......I couldn't figure out why it didn't start back off where the season finale left off. The second episode was kinda lame, but maybe it'll make more sense when I see the premiere.

I still think GA is poorly written for a primetime show, but it's the best soap on TV right now!

Kate Walsh and Katherine Heigl knocked me out in this episode. Both of those women are so talented and so rarely acknowledged for it. I really hope one of them gets nominated for an Emmy at some point. Soon.

I cried again remembering Denny. I still can't believe that they killed him! I do agree that Izzie's grief was cut short. I hope this isn't the last we see of it.

Addison is a very intelligent woman. She knows what happened.

Callie is growing on me. I love when she compared them to 17-year-olds and when she left the room for no reason at all. :) She's cool. (And also another beautiful addition to the already physically-blessed cast).

Still want to punch Meredith in the face. Kthx.

I thought something was strange as well because I thought the show picked up right where it left off last season. Then I figured they decided to change it. I was all confused! Stupid ass CTV!!! They won't tell us when they are going to air Nip/Tuck and now they air the second episode instead of the first one! :angry:

She lat out said that Hayley will conveniently have a "miscarriage" so she wouldn't have to produce a baby. Women do that. Ive seen that happen on a ew reality shows.

    • John loved Sami unconditionally and forever
    • On May 27, Johnny spoke to Sami on the phone, and learned that Sami and Sydney were trying to fly in from Sicily, but were stopped by a volcanic eruption because the ash had grounded all the planes. As discussed on the May thread, ash from Mt. Etna in Sicily caused planes to be grounded in summer 2024, so Cwikly/Ford would have known that.  (I just learned that Mt. Etna has been considered "active" with intermittent activity since 2022, including February, April, and May 2025.) Friday May 30, Will said that Sami and Sydney found another flight and will be here soon. Well, Sami and Sydney got out just in time, because … There was (and still is ongoing) a huge eruption of Mt. Etna that began very early Monday morning June 2 Italy time (which would be Sunday night June 1st Chicago time) and a volcanic ash plume had reached an altitude of around 6,400 metres (around 3 or 4 miles high) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/mount-etna-eruption-volcano-smoke-lava-live-updates-b2761911.html 
    • Agree to disagree. Like first, love second. OH, agree, agree, agree! Legendary Featherstone, you're not dressing this one well at all. Petite woman with ample bosom, wrong clothes = awful  matronly looking ugh. I'm sorry but I felt hit over the head with everything each of them thought & felt for about 6 more days than I felt I had signed on for.  I don't know you well enough to know if you will know when I'm teasing, so I've just warned you that I am when I say, I hate for you that you haven't actually met Danielle before. LOL. To me it was just a natural take.  I have no problem going back & forth between those two focal sites. But, I am certainly aware that early on I had an expectation of being really into their having 27 sets & that has definitely not been the realization. And, yes, for now, Frank is still heads above any & all others with us & sets IMO.  Huh? Guza gone. I have it in my head that he was only willing to come out of retirement (and presumed mourning) for a "certain amount of time" to help get this new creature launched, but had no desire to stay & so was one of the "over-staffed intentionally" that we were told about. Of course there's been no official word on the circumstances of his leaving.  But, you might mean go with Guza as in a style, if so, ignore the last para.

    • I'm so pleased we have such fan engagement about Dani. Reminds me of some other soap characters. I think it's because they are "polarizers" which is a word I may have just made up. They are polarizing on their shows to other characters & to story & they are polarizing in the audience as fans seem to have extreme reactions to them, love & hate, not middling neutrality, ya know? Well, it's a theory.  To me the human being you seek has been amply shown especially to two people & both more or less recently. Her sister bond with Nicole, whoa, has knocked me back & blown me away. And, with Chelsea, over her budding sexual identity and awareness. She gathered instantly that something was up with that daughter & was laser focused on her for several scenes. Then, for a third, she & Pamela have finally, also recently, been so real & genuine & authentic. 
    • Thanks, Paul, I did not know about his interest in the comedic elements or that he was one of our many people who came from the network! I have always liked Marlena de la Croix's writing, which is not to say I 100% agree with her. She's been a member of my FB soap group for a good long time & she actually posts, which I love. Recently I posted about an e-copy of Robert LaGuardia's SOAP WORLD that is free to borrow like a library e-book but on the Internet Archive site & I posted that at the time of their publications, all of his soap opera books were the gold standard.  She immediately posted about "Bob" who was her close friend & how much she still misses him to this day & that he loved to talk soaps & was also a nice guy, etc. which I was over the moon to have her share about the author & his time etc. like that!!!  
    • Just more RTD ego trips, seemingly his main reason for coming back.
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That's a lovely writeup. Do fans feel it was warranted?
