Grey's Freaks

Writer's Strike Over!

2008-03-15T23:25:00.000-07:00

Yippee! The writer's strike is over and they are working away churning out some new fantastic shows on our favorite people at Seattle Grace.

I can hardly remember where we left off but am excited!

I've missed reading the writer's posts on their blogs after each show too.

Only a few more weeks....

My love continues...

2007-02-12T12:00:00.000-08:00

I love Grey's Anatomy.

Oh wait...was that not already obvious by the title of this blog? I love Grey's Anatomy so much that I have seen every episode...every single episode...at least three times. Obsessed? Hmm...Maybe. I'd like to think that I'm just a faithful fan.

I usually TiVo the show and then watch it again immediately after watching it the first time. Usually the first time around I am more just watching it...the second time around I notice details and analyze the story. The occasional third time is when I am doing chores around the house and can half-watch the show.

I love how creative the show gets and how deep the characters are. I also...absolutely LOVE that the writer's have their own blog. It gives some insight into the show and the writers and what they were thinking at the time. I like how sometimes the stories come from the writer's actual lives or how they are actually tormented coming up with these stories. How I would love to sit in and be a fly on the wall on one of their work days. I mean...this is what blogs are made for. You get me?

So...I have been so wrapped up in...life, that I haven't updated this blog this season. However...I have been faithfully watching and usually have some discussion of the show with Nicole over chat the following day.

Some random thoughts about happenings with the show:

Proposals: OMG. That is exactly what Nicole texted me right after that episode aired. I responded with OMG. Really...what else is there to say?
George's Dad: I was in tears. The scene where the family unplugged his dad and sat with him hit very close to home for me.
Callie O'Malley? haha. Cute.
George and Callie married? Kind of weird. But also cute.
Christina and Burke: Hmmm...not sure what to think here. Christina seems to be struggling a lot with the relationship and her career. She shows so much love for Burke...in her Christina way but at the same time, I could see her giving it all up for her career. Maybe Burke will get transferred or something or leave...you know...that might fit in well with this whole behind-the-scenes-actor-drama with Isaiah and TR
Huge Ferry Disaster? At first I thought it was a little overly dramatized...but what do I know about ferries and accidents with them? The beginning of the first episode I couldn't get very into it, but I got sucked into the drama about halfway through.
Derek. McDreamy. I am loving his character more and more. I love how he is the stable stronghold of the relationship. How he is unwavering. I love that about him. So Dreamy.
Meredith. Did she drown? Did she hit her head? If she hit her head and is consequently drowning...shouldn't she be like...dead because in the time it took the little girl (who I think is her angel) to find someone to help...it would have been minutes. Scary.
I like how all of the characters are growing as people and their love and connection to each other is also growing. Love love love.

welcome back.

2007-01-25T22:11:00.000-08:00

wow. tonight's grey's was SO good! i was starting to doubt the show - this season hasn't grabbed me the way the first two did - until tonight. this is the show that i became obsessed with. oh, grey's. welcome back! how i missed you!

i hope there are wedding bells in the future for seattle grace.

Season 3

2006-09-28T22:11:00.000-07:00

I wasn't too impressed by the season premiere, with the exception of the scene where McDreamy tells Meredith that he's in love with her, has been in love with her, and hopes she'll make the right choice, admitting that when it was his turn, he didn't. I love him! That little speech was so cute. Tonight's episode didn't impress me all that much either... until the final few minutes, and I've realized that with these first 2 episodes, I'm not sucked into the show the way I was last season, but the final few minutes really grab me. Just as I was telling my friend that I wasn't really that into it, Meredith says she's choosing both of them, Derek apologizes for his infidelity at prom, and a very sexy McSteamy emerges from a bathroom. Wow.

How to Save a Life -The Fray

Getting into Grey's Anatomy

2006-09-16T00:07:00.000-07:00

It's friday night and it's a weekend where we are actually in town and don't have plans. What does that mean for me? Time to catch up on my TiVo!

One of the shows recorded was, "Getting into Grey's Anatomy." It's a quick catchup on what has happened in the show so far. First it traces through each each of the characters and their relationships to each other. Then it goes into the places...the elevator, the bar, the hospital. Then it went into the couples....The cliffhangers...

The entire time I was reciting the lines. Then I realized I was talking to the T.V. as if it was a person.

Excited for this coming Thursday? NO! Not at all.

OMG....I can't wait!

P.S. Just got Season 2 on DVD. Now I can rewatch every show again....for the 4th or 5th time....

Thursday Night

2006-05-31T13:32:00.000-07:00

So if you haven't heard already, Grey's Anatomy is moving to Thursday nights next season. I am not sure how I feel about this. Who would have originally thought that Sunday night would be such a perfect time slot? I loved my Sunday nights for doing chores around the house and sitting on the couch watching Grey's. Am I ready to adjust my love for Sunday nights to Thursday? I switched nights for 24 without problem. I will do anything to watch Grey's. I hope they replace the happy Sunday slot with something good!

Triangle

2006-05-18T15:06:00.000-07:00

I've been re-watching the season finale. The love triangle at the end... I know who I want Meredith to choose. I want her to choose Finn. Don't get me wrong, I love Mer/Der... it's just... not right for them. They love each other, there's jealousy on both sides - but Derek chose Addison and Meredith is attempting to pick up the broken pieces of her heart and move on. Finn has been nothing but good to her and I like their dynamic too. Ultimately, I want Mer/Der to end up together but I want it to be right... hooking up at the prom while their dates are waiting for them? The post-sex, before Callie comes to get Meredith, McDreamy keeps asking her "What does this mean?" It means you had sex and you're STILL MARRIED! That's not right. Now Meredith really is the dirty mistress. Derek needs to leave Addison. Meredith needs to not be involved with anyone else. They need to have closure on other relationships before they can move forward and have a substantial, healthy relationship. That's what I want for them.

More quotes!

"I will call security on you." "How smart am I? I tricked her into marrying me."

Izzie looks so pretty in her pink gown. I love the dress and I love her hair. The part when she quits and walks down the stairs is so poignant. The way that Alex and George somberly follow her... it reminded me of a funeral. And for as much as she was driving me crazy with the whole Denny thing, I couldn't help but feel bad for her. I really hope this isn't the last we've seen of her.

2006-05-16T23:41:00.000-07:00

The whole George-Callie romance is weird. Especially in the season finale when they had the argument and he checks her into the wall. He attempts to subdue her even though she's nearly twice his size! It looked really awkward. Although, I do feel a little sorry for Callie. I believe she'll always come in after the needs of Izzie and Meredith. I think she knows it. I wonder how long the writers are going to keep them together. I don't know if I support them or not. Most likely not.

One of my favorite parts: "Where are my surgeon-hungry suck-ups?" Hilarious.

Season Finale

2006-05-16T22:29:00.000-07:00

Wow.

First, let me just say that I was disappointed in Cristina. I couldn't believe that she kept walking away from Burke. He asked for her, he needed her, she gave him her word that she would be there for him... and she wasn't. I thought for sure they would break up. But finally in the end she somewhat redeemed herself by going to his room and holding his hand. I liked that moment. What's going to happen with Burke's hand? Derek didn't want to operate because he wasn't positive that he could fix it and the only other option was to give it a few days and see what happened. Burke's hand has to get better because he has to be able to do surgery because if not, he's off the show, and he can't be off the show because I love him.

The prom was super cute. Sad situation... but it ended up being really cool. I loved how everyone asked their dates and everyone looked super pretty.

I think my favorite part was when the Chief was interrogating all the interns about who cut Denny's LVAD cord. All their explanations for why they couldn't tell him what happened in the room related to what was going on in their personal lives. I liked that.

OMG. Is Izzie really leaving?? She was being crazy and kind of getting on my nerves, but she's still an integral part of the show. She's George's best friend and I think Alex is still in love with her. When she was lying on Denny's bed crying and Alex picked her up and just held her while she cried... he's been showing a more human, caring side and not just being Evil Spawn. I like that side of him. Deep down, he truly is a good person. He just hides it well. Did anyone else notice that all the other interns were wearing black and Izzie was wearing pink? Although I wasn't that fond of Denny, it's still sad that he died. I liked his little speech about finally being able to make a choice and saying that Izzie was his choice. Very romantic.

Meredith and McDreamy FINALLY hooked up!! Oooh the jealousy. The stares at the prom. And then they go and have sex in an empty exam room. The dialogue between them before the sex - they LOVE each other! Are they going to get back together?? Please let them get back together. Let Addison give up and move back to the East Coast to be with McSteamy. Or let McSteamy come to Seattle Grace and work there for our viewing pleasure. Anyhow. Addison was watching Derek at the end, and he was staring at Meredith... so I wonder if she knows that there is more than just the "lover's quarrel" ... not to say that she knows they hooked up, but is she even suspicious of anything going on? The physical triangle cliffanger - WHO is Meredith going to choose? McDreamy or Finn? I love Mer/Der... but Finn has been nothing but good to her, and he's damaged too. As much as I want Mer/Der to be together, the fact that they hooked up at the prom while thier dates were waiting for them doesn't sit well with me. I want McDreamy to end things with Addison before he gets more involved with Meredith. I can't stand cheaters!

Such a sad scene when Finn put Doc down. I wonder if he sensed anything when Meredith broke down. Does he have any inclination that Doc is a metaphor for Meredith's relationship with Derek?

I can't wait for next season. How I'm going to survive the next few months with no new episodes is beyond me.

Don't do it!!

2006-05-15T10:26:00.000-07:00

Was everyone screaming this at Izzie last night?

No...Denny...no....

2006-05-15T09:30:00.000-07:00

So I know some people *cough* don't care much for Denny...but...

I L-O-V-E H-I-M

He is so dang charming...how could you not have a crush on this poor bed-ridden dying heart of a man? He is there lying in bed and yet is still so manly.

What he and Izzy have going is so darn cute. So wrong and crossing the line since she is his Dr....but so cute. I will admit...I was tearing up, okay just plain crying, when she started going a little nuts with him and convincing him that he should let her stop his heart to save him. She was so desperate and was just grasping at anything. And he loved her enough to say, okay. Wow.

I had my hand over my mouth and my knees pulled up to my chest repeating..."no...no...no...don't do it!" when she started going into her little crazy speech right before cutting the little tube.

And now...Burke...the one who was supposed to save him, is injured himself. No...Izzy...no.

Denny. Please don't die.

The suspense is killing me.

Intense

2006-05-15T00:03:00.000-07:00

That. Was. Intense.
I remember first seeing this show in the summer. A show in the 10 0'clock slot? Must not be that great. But it caught my attention and kept me entertained. And now look at it - a hit show on the floundering ABC network that, alongside Desperate Housewives, is saving Disney's behind. But I digress.
Crazy. I loved the scene where Izzie was hysterically trying to get Denny to comply with her wishes...to basically kill him for a little bit. It was so convincing, so real. You felt for her, and him, because we've all probably been in a situation like that before. Not as in having to kill someone to save them, but as in wanting something so badly and passionately trying to make someone else understand you. It was all very raw and real.
And then the ending. I found myself yelling at the television, at Izzie, to myself...DON'T DO IT. What a cliffhanger. Burke's obviously not going to die. He can't. The writer's aren't that crazy...
But the subtle little moment I enjoyed most was when the shots went off...and that dude that ducked before ducked again...and the once-fiance-then-fiance-again-and-now-because-he-showed-her-once-again-that-he's-a-wimp girl just rolled her eyes and said, "K, we're done."
Brilliant.
24 and Grey's Anatomy tomorrow night. It's going to be insane.

17 Seconds

2006-05-14T23:30:00.000-07:00

Just a thought... the ending? I wonder if that was 17 seconds long.

I know the reference is to the 17 seconds that set apart Denny and the other patient on the heart waiting list, but ... maybe.

The whole time... CRAZY.

First, I was freaking out because I thought Cristina and Burke were going to break up because he chose Karev to go with him to get the heart for Denny. They CAN'T break up. I love them. At the end, I was freaking out because Burke got shot. Now my panic has turned to - he CAN'T die. It's Burke. He HAS to live.

But Izzie needs Burke to save Denny's life because she's crazy and cut the LVAD cord. Izzie is just crazy. She's totally not being a surgeon about this, she's being like a girlfriend.

I love when Dr. Bailey tells the obnoxious boss off. She's awesome. But it's sad that in the end he redeems himself and says he's trying his best... and the shooter finally (?) succeeds in killing him. Well, we don't know for sure that he's dead yet. Oh. And I'm convinced that the kid who kept asking for more morphine is Kendra's baby's daddy.

Callie tells George she loves him then keeps talking to fill the silence and calls it verbal diarrhea. In response, he says "I'll call you later, okay?" That's one of the worst responses EVER after telling someone you love them. Ouch. Poor Callie. Why was she flipping out over George saying that Meredith loves Doc? She is just super sensitive to anything Meredith Grey related, but I loved that she sucked up her pride and helped Meredith out in order to be included in George's Seattle Grace family.

Meredith wants the truth about Doc from McVet. So he tells her and she starts crying and says "I love him so much." Doc totally symbolizes the Mer/Der relationship. When he told her "best-case scenario, 1 year" she lost it. And when she said "I love him so much" she meant Derek. Please just get back together. Addison is giving up. That's why she blew up at the parents and said that no matter how much they loved Kendra, that wouldn't guarantee that they would be close. Mer/Der moments always happen in the elevator. The silence in the elevator was killing me. The pain between them. McMeany... convert back to McDreamy and tell her that you love her!!

Quote-worthy:

"Ass! Ass! Ooooh. Ass!" Cristina, Mer, and Izzie in reference to Burke, "McMeany," and Alex

"That's good. Fight the power!" ...when Izzie is rushing around being crazy and tells Cristina and Mer she lied to Burke

"I'm not Meredith Grey!" Addison to Derek

Thank goodness tomorrow night is the 2-hour finale to this season finale. But it is a season finale... which means more cliffhangers... I hope they resolve something between Cristina and Burke tomorrow night, and Denny either lives or dies, but please just give us a static outcome to something. 22 hours to go...

OMG

2006-05-14T23:04:00.000-07:00

omg omg omg

I can't breathe.

I am not going to be able to sleep tonight. The suspense is killing me.

Grey's moving?

2006-05-09T13:14:00.000-07:00

I was reading my Entertainment Weekly last night and they speculated that Grey's Anatomy might be moved to the more desired Monday night slot. They are testing the waters with that night with the 2-part season finale.

Not sure how I feel about this...I've grown to love my Sunday nights of t.v.

"Scary and Damaged"

2006-05-08T14:02:00.000-07:00

I love how Meredith keeps freaking out about being "scary and damaged." Aren't we all? She's afraid to be vulnerable again because she doesn't want to go through all the pain and heartache she went thru with McDreamy. When she's hovering while Finn is cooking, I had to laugh when he told her "You're driving me crazy" because one of my pet peeves is people who hover! Then, when she finally fesses up to the "scary and damaged" he just tells her about his own losses... and then he isn't just McVet and they kiss. And she doesn't hop into bed with him. Finally!

The Mer/Der thing made me mad... McDreamy was just being evil. I was cheering for Meredith when she told him off... told him how she fell in love and she thought the search was over and then he left her for Addison so he didn't get to call her a whore... I was so glad she pointed out the harsh realities of it all. And then he reacts like a typical guy and tells her "We're done." Then they both stormed off and I wanted to scream.

When Callie goes into the bathroom, drops trou and just pees in front of Izzie and Mer like she's one of the roomie's, I couldn't stop laughing. The way that Izzie kept bringing it up just verbalized everything I was thinking. She's a surgeon, and she didn't wash her hands... ewww! I couldn't believe she just walked around naked (it's not her house)... but then at the end of the episode when she explains herself to George I almost felt bad for her. I feel for her, but I still don't like her. I wonder if George will stick up for her to Izzie and Meredith? And what their response will be if he does?

Cristina and Burke... the expressions on their faces when they have the conversation in the hall about her falling asleep... he has to get over it and forgive her! I don't want them to be mad at each other. Their situation related to the crash though... she stayed up all night for a surgery and was tired and fell asleep and it may have damaged her relationship. John Cho ... omg... when he said "I stayed up all night to save a life and because of that I may have killed a pregnant woman" I wanted to cry. John Cho is awesome. I was freaking out when I thought it was him... and then I just loved the depth of his character. When the Dad came in and John Cho apologized and the dad touched his shoulder and he just broke down crying, it made me so sad.

Alex actually being a good person for once amazed me. He saved the baby.

And George finally talks to Meredith!!

The whole Denny thing still weirds me out. I don't understand why everyone is in love with Denny and I definitely don't understand why Izzie is so enamored with him.

2 more episodes and 3 more hours remain of this season. Seriously, what am I going to do when this season is over? I live for Grey's...

McMeany

2006-05-08T13:56:00.000-07:00

....after last night's episode and how Derek treated Meredith (along with my already existent bitterness). I have changed his name to McMeany.

Bitter

2006-05-05T12:35:00.000-07:00

I am so B I T T E R over this mer-der situation. What the heck?! What happened to love and going with your heart? I realize I am taking this show way too personally and really am feeling major bitterness about the whole situation. But c'mon. It's the idea of it.

Love. Love conquers all right?

I understand that part of the reason Meredith loves McDreamy is for who he is and who he is, is a noble man who will try to fix his marriage (and hey, I am married myself and know how much work it is), but really...after everything? I want Mer and Der to experience the "love story" and to grow old together. They found each other accidentally and fell head over heels in love. And then...he left her.

I hated the part where Derek saw Meredith at the vet's house and assumed they were sleeping together and went home and had hot steamy sex with Addison. It was all revenge, but she got to benefit from it. He gave that to her when he really wanted to give it to Meredith. It was his way of sticking it to Meredith.

So I am resolved to being mad at Derek. Mad at the situation. And bitter. Oh so very bitter.

"Pick me. Choose me. Love me."

2006-05-02T14:13:00.000-07:00

How does Derek NOT choose Meredith when she says this, when he obviously loves her?

Obsession

2006-05-01T12:20:00.000-07:00

Grey's is the greatest show ever. I'm usually not a fan of Sunday's, but ever since I became obsessed with this show, that's changed. 4 more episodes left in this season... and then I'll have to settle with my Season 1 DVD set and older episodes on TiVo at my parents' house until next season starts up. How will I survive without new episodes of Grey's?

Cristina is my favorite. I always laugh at the things she says. I love her relationship with Burke, their dynamic, their first kiss in the on-call room. Last night I loved when he admitted to not being like her, not being the best in his class... and she understood and just stayed there with him.

So last night's episode... I love the look on McDreamy's face when he sees Mer come down the stairs from the vet's house. He needs to quit with Addison when it's Mer he really wants. (Another moment I love: when McDreamy tells Addison that Meredith wasn't a fling, or revenge, that he fell in love with her.) I hate that in the previews she tells him he's not allowed to call her a whore - why is he saying that to her when he's trying to repair his marriage with Addison?! McDreamy and Meredith need to get back together.

Alex needs to stop being mean and bitter to everyone just because Izzie broke up with him. I'm not a fan of the Izzie/Denny romance but Alex needs to understand that he messed up and that Izzie moved on and he has to quite pouting about it and being mean to everyone! When he was mean to George, it was completely unfounded, but at least George finally stood up for himself and quit moping around. Not a fan of the George/Callie romance either... and how weird is it that she lives in the hospital basement? - but George is her McDreamy and George deserves something good after the whole debacle with Meredith.
