Know When to Walk Away | Grey's Anatomy | 10/5/2007
Episode Recap: "Love/Addiction"Disbelief. That's how I would describe my reaction (and the look on Izzie's face), during the first five minutes of tonight's episode. George loves Izzie, that's all there is to it, and now he can't wait to share the news with Callie! It's almost unbelievable. Especially considering the lengths George went to prior to tonight just to avoid Izzie and any related talk about their recent indiscretion. Now it's almost like he can't wait to shout it out to the world! Though I will say it is nice to see George so exuberant and full of life this week. Last week he seemed so frustrated and depressed about repeating his internship that I'm almost willing to forgive Gizzie. Almost.And poor Callie! Just when you think things can't get any worse for her, they do. Not only is the new job still not working out, but now she's also convinced George and Izzie are having an affair. I have to say, I was surprised to see her admit the latter to Mark Sloan of all... read more
Oh, Mama: A Great New Grey's | Roush Dispatch | 10/4/2007
If you don't like tonight's first-rate episode of Grey's Anatomy, which fires on about as many cylinders as possible (humor and emotion coexisting wonderfully), then you should probably face the fact that you simply don't like Grey's anymore, if you ever did. Diahann Carroll, terrific as the departed Burke's visiting mom, hovers around Seattle Grace this week as a much-needed reality check and conscience for the various characters: including Meredith, who could always use a good dressing-down for her narcissism, and George, who's still dithering about how to do the right thing in his romantic quandary involving wife Callie and obsessive crush Izzie.But Mama Burke is really there for Cristina (the fabulous Sandra Oh), who is frozen emotionally as she surveys the wedding gifts that surround her to remind her of her broken relationship. Work is a thankful distraction (“Carnage always trumps rounds,” she tells her nameless interns), but she can only hide from Preston’s... read more
Preview: Calling Dr. Love | Grey's Anatomy | 10/3/2007
Breakup kiss; breakup sex. Grey's Anatomy wouldn't be Grey's Anatomy without Derek pawing at Meredith and Meredith responding in kind, followed by much angst. Look for more of the same tonight. Expect a helping of Izzy-George angst, as well, in the wake of his “I love you, too” declaration last week. As a result, don't expect Callie to be at her best (although the Chief will be part of the reason). Meanwhile, Mama Burke (Diahann Carroll) is back, and Cristina is avoiding her. Ben Vereen guest stars as a victim of an apartment-building explosion. — Paul Droesch read more
May 17, 2007: Didn't We Almost Have It All | Grey's Anatomy | 5/18/2007
I can't decide what I was most surprised about since I thought there were multiple shockers in this season's finale episode. So I will make a list of things that I did not see coming:— I did not expect Burke to call off the wedding. If anyone was going to put a stop to it, I thought it would've been Cristina. Apparently, Burke could tell Cristina just wasn't ready.— I did not expect George to be the only intern that didn't pass the exam. Alex would've been more predictable.— I did not expect Callie to be named new chief resident over Bailey.— I did not expect Izzie to (gag me) profess her undying love to George with hopes that he would reciprocate the feelings (once again, gag me).While I'm on the subject of shockers, let me also list things that were more predictable and not shocking:— I was not surprised that Rebecca's husband Jeff finally showed up, and she wanted Alex to give her a reason to not return to her hubby. I was pleased that Jeff was played by... read more
May 3, 2007: The Other Side of This Life | Grey's Anatomy | 5/4/2007
Raise your hand if you're already hooked. Shonda, you have just sold me on Grey's 2.0, or what you are currently planning on calling it: Private Practice. I can't imagine ABC not picking the show up for the fall. To make this easier for me to write, but more importantly, to give it a more reader-friendly approach, I'd like to split this in two. I'll get to my comments on the very well-executed Kate Walsh pilot later. First, let's talk about Grey's...I. GREY'S ANATOMYWhen I heard that Meredith was going to be experiencing another family death, my initial thought was Thatcher, but then I felt that it would be silly to kill off her father right after her mother. When her step mom Susan (Mare Winningham) showed up again at Seattle Grace, this time with perpetual hiccups she claimed were due to her acid reflux, I agreed with Meredith and Thatcher. I figured Susan was faking it as an excuse for Thatcher to spend needed quality time with his daughter. As Susan kept returning with worse... read more
