Dream a little dream of me – Parts 1 and 2
Friday, September 26th, 2008
Let’s talk, y’all! First of all, I thought this was a good, solid episode of Grey’s. It was full of drama and had some humor thrown in, too. It seems like the show is going to be a bit heavier on the medical stories this season and how those affect the Seattle Grace crew. So, let’s break it down.
1) Seattle Grace dropped to 12 from number 3 on the best teaching hospitals list. The Chief was not pleased and spent the entire episode angry about it.
2) Meredith asks Derek to move in and then quickly changes her mind. She spends the entire episode whining about it.
3) Lexie is pining away for George.
4) Callie and Hahn don’t know what to do after their kiss.
5) Cristina and Meredith had a fight over Mer’s whining about Derek, then Cristina was impaled by an icicle.
6) A hot new Army doctor stopped by.
7) It was a guest star Emmy reel making episode with Kathy Baker and Bernadette Peters.
Rose went a little Fatal Attraction on Derek after he dumped her.
9) Bailey is awesome, as usual
The biggest story was Meredith and Derek. And I was with Cristina – I am sick of hearing about it, too. And I’m thinking that her monologue to Meredith about that was Shonda Rhimes’ nod to fans building frustration over the will they won’t they of seasons past. I’m hoping those two will get together and stay together for a while.
Cristina is so going to get with the hot Army doctor. You can see that coming a mile away. And I have a feeling he is going to change his mind and come to work at Seattle Grace.
Izzie and Alex would make a good pair, if he wasn’t so self-destructive. (Remember a couple of years ago when they first slept together and Izzie said, “Do you want to stand here and talk about it? Or do you want to LITERALLY take off your pants?’ hilarious). And Denny made another brief appearance. Anytime he shows up it just reminds me of how good Izzie’s storylines used to be. I’m hoping this season will show a marked improvement.
Poor Lexie – all pining for George. She wants a real big sister and Meredith can’t really be that and she wants George and he just sees her as a friend. I’m kind of ready to see another side of Lexie. Maybe she should start hanging out at the Joe’s and meeting interesting folks.
Speaking of, remember the bar? Bring back the Joe’s scenes, those were always great.
And how crappy is it that we have to wait until October 9 for another new episode?
Thoughts?
