Grey's Anatomy: Discussion Thread

I'm still watching and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I wish we had seen the funeral, but I liked how they showed the impact of Derek's death on the hospital staff throughout the year. Also, even though it was easy to predict Meredith would have another baby, I loved how they contrasted her running off with Ellis's when she was pregnant with Maggie and showed that Meredith not only isn't her mother but makes better decisions than her. When Meredith named the new child Ellis, it made sense to me because she finally understood everything her mother went through when they were living in Boston.

This last episode was excellent. I loved when Amelia confronted Mer about not letting Derek's family know he was dying and April showing up at the hospital with the tow truck to save the guy's life was epic!

*through sobs*

Damn, the irony that exactly one week later I would stand over my mother - as her blood pressure started to drop and as her heart began to stop beating - with my hand placed over her heart and tell her the same words.

I guess I should have knocked on wood after typing that comment.

The whole situation was eerily similar. Being awake for a period but completely trapped in your body, the doctors deciding to do the appropriate medical treatment only when it was too late... The main difference was my mother was in the so-called best hospital in New York.

I really enjoyed this episode and I'm enjoying this season!

Jerrika/Stephanie knocked it out the park this episode!  You could tell that she was uncomfortable with the care for the patient so I knew something had to have gone down in her past. But I love how she eventually, in a way, became her mother and helped.encouraged the patient to reach the chair even if she had to hit her to do it, she would be by her side helping her get better.

Wilson continues to be the absolute worst. I mean I get that Steph used white lies in the opening to get her labs and results rushed.... I found that downright funny, but you can't help that she thought it up and didn't try to capitalize and do the same. I mean, if she sat there and thought that story up in a  New York Minute (as Wilson believed) then slow clap. But she should have simply asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"

I loved Richard just telling Amelia that the story was true and then saying after all the hours, days and surgeries you've spent with Edwards, how can you go on the word of someone you hardly knew? That was such a mic drop moment.

Mer's speech about talking to someone and breaking the news that they have gone from wife/husband to widow/widower was beautiful and really tied in with that episode from last season when she told that Dr. how Derek will stick with her for the remainder of her life, just as she'll stick with Mer. But that fricking ending.,.. WOW!

Last night was AMAZINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG! I am loving Grey's post Patrick Dempsey and it only took 11 years for this to happen!

Man, the anxiety coming off of Meredith and the sounds they were using for her were just amazing. Ellen did the damn thing with this episode.

I did feel bad for Penny, I felt bad for her in her initial episode and I felt bad for her last night. She was not the sole person that "killed" Derek, that was a team effort and she wasn't the only one. She was just more empathetic and shouldered the blame. She should have pushed harder for a CT but even with one I don't think he would have made it because they had to wait for the damn neurosurgeon  who couldn't be bothered because he was at dinner.

I loved Alex and how attuned he was to Mer and how erratic her behavior became after Callie and Penny showed up. He had me in tears when Mer closed the door on Callie and he leaned over to mouth Sorry to her.

Drunk Arizona was a hoot.

Kepner was the voice of reason, which was sad because they all had to have realized that they have had a Derek Sheppard on their hands at one point or another and definitely more than once.  Sure their patient wasn't a brilliant neurosurgeon with the capability of healing the world, but they were someone's loved one and that person died while in their hands. But I do get Mer's and Amelia's anger and I loved that Mer still told her to show up on Monday and judging by the previews there's going to be a sh!tstorm but at the same time I can see Meridith doing all this to push her to become a better doctor so that what happened at Dillard will hopefully not happen again while on her watch and give her the voice she needs to push for what she believes to be right.

Watching Season 5 for the first time. I am so thrilled with how much I've grown to love Lexie, considering I thought I would hate her when she first showed up at the end of season 3.

 

Sorta enjoying the Denny ghost and sorta not. But the Heigl/Morgan chemistry is so special, they just had to do it.

 

OWEN HUNT IS MY BOO BOO. My God. I was in love the MOMENT he showed up. He and Cristina are my #1 interest this season.

 

#2 would be Callie's coming out (which has been handled damn well) and her relationship with Erica, although Erica just quit and disappeared. No idea if she's ever coming back.

 

President Roslin from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA just showed up as a surgeon with Asperger's and she went in on Bailey. Oh, snap.

 

It was also Sadie's first episode and I think I hate her.

What a great combination Mark and Lexie turned out to be!

 

Derek's an ass.

 

Meredith has actually grown. A lot.

 

Owen and Cristina continue to be superb.

 

Arizona is exactly the type of character I thought I'd hate but she's amazing.

 

Thank God Sadie's gone.

 

It was awesome that Izzie chose Cristina to tell her secret to. Doing it on the vent was inspired.

Meredith giving her wedding to Alex and Izzie, Izzie walking down the aisle but losing her strength and needing her ex-lover to help her get to the altar, then getting married while all the other couples or non-couples stare at each other longingly. Perfect melodrama. Say what you want about GA, but it did soap opera better than any daytime show currently does (or has for a long time).

    • Am I the only one who hates how this show treats Claire? She's a glorified extra This girl comes from stock the granddaughter of the shows 2 biggest supercouples and they treat her like she's a throw away. Her pop pop is dying/dead and her other grandpa is saved awoken from his coma, alive because of the selfless heroic actions of her maternal grandpa

      There is no reason why she wouldn't be here to say goodbye. Olivia Rose isn't doing anything I bet she love to come back and say goodbye. I just don't understand the motivation & thought process when it comes to some decisions. This show is probably still salty about how they didn't succeed in trying to assassinate Claire, on the alter of her dicktimized bird brained aunt & her serial killer boyfriend/husband with the audience.  Also unless they're keeping it under wraps Sami not being back in time to say goodbye to John is a huge fumble. If it had to do with Ali availability then they should've pushed back the fallout of Johnny learning about his sperm donor raping his mother and the subsequent confrontation with Elvis & Sami to conceded with John's coma & death so Sami/Ali were here for it. It's just a huge piece missing from this. As much I hated Sami's overdramatic looney tunes treatment of John long after she was in her 30s, became a grandma, her & John had one of the best dynamic complex heartbreaking father/daughter relationship's on both daytime and the show. It would be full circle as John's end of watch nears, that Sami apologizes for her treatment of him & admits she does love him. He was just as much as a father to her as "Roman", in a impossible situation that turned everyone lives upside down(The 2 Romans, Roman Intitial Death, The Affair)through no fault of his own. How fitting if she called him dad one last time & how thankful she is for his unconditional support and love. He squeezes her hand one last time, calls her Samantha and finally let's go after hearing the words he spent decades longing for in my eyes
    • So around '84 is when things get bad?
    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
