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:

    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.  
    • It is his fatal flaw.  He's smart, cute, and loyal.  But, a total chauvinist pig.  We're looking through a 2025 lens, but April's from a wealthy family, (that she recently met), she should be allowed to contribute to her own home. Especially if Draper is going to work for the Crime Commission, rather than joining Mike's private law firm (did I get that part correct?) How about smoking while the baby is in the room?  It all looks nuts by current standards. Raven was married to Geraldine's son Kevin, but had an affair with Logan (whom Geraldine also considered like a son). Raven got pregnant by Logan, then Kevin died (long story short).  The part you need to know is that Raven was bored being a mother to Jamey (check out my member name).  So, she starts going out to Elliott's club and leaving Jamey with April.  Logan is not happy that Raven keeps leaving their baby all around town.  And thus, Geraldine is not pleased with Raven either. Draper and Logan are frequently rivals in the courtroom.  FYI --- Draper is also Raven's step-brother (her mother married his father). Raven's real name is Charlotte. But, one day [she] was sitting on the lawn and saw this beautiful black bird with shiny wings fly by. [She] wanted to be that bird. So beautiful. So free. With beautiful black wings…"    @chrisml you'll hear that story soon, and I envy you getting to see it the first time.
    • There is a time... till the old storyline is cleaning up... where it's still kinda annoying. For me it was. That's a personal opinion. But in 10-20 episodes more... you'll find yourself enthralled. It's not even begun. I'm so glad to hear your reviews! And excited of what's to come for you! 
    • Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life.  Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack.  Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.
    • That's right Anita! Let her have it!

    • This is my other blind spot -- the children of Bo Brady's past loves.  Melanie:Carly as Chelsea:Billie -- but it is tough to keep them straight I dipped out during the Daniel of our Lives period of the show.
