Grey’s Anatomy

Initial thoughts? I really liked this episode. It was such a nice change of pace from the Meredith drowning drama. Big stuff happened, too. Let’s discuss.

1) Alex moved in to take George’s place. When Izzie protested, Meredith said, “He’s one of our people.” Cute, so cute. I’m glad to see him involved with the other interns more.

2) A new candidate for Chief showed up and guess what? He happened to be Christina’s former professor and “lovah” (loved Izzie begging for details). Burke was none too pleased. Especially when Marlow told Burke he repeatedly asked Christina to marry him and she refused, saying marraige was idiotic. Ouch. Burke confronted Christina and she didn’t deny saying that, but said she’d do anything to make him happy. That doesn’t seem to be enough for Burke. Did anyone else wonder if this is the set up for him to leave?

3) Callie is an heiress. A ha! Thank goodness she ain’t preggers (not yet anyway). I don’t like her, y’all. I’m sorry. I’ve tried and tried, but I just don’t. Maybe if she weren’t with George, I’d like her. They just don’t seem to be a good match to me. Callie told George that Izzie wants him and he just laughed it off, but what do you know, after a bottle of tequila, it looks like she was right. I’m just glad we were spared another awkward George in bed scene. Remember how horrible that was with Meredith? I’m glad we didn’t have to see it with Izzie. So what do we think about this, people? Was it just a stupid, drunken mistake, or are the best friends going to start a relationship? (After the tiny business of a divorce). Or, will Izzie get up and pretend it didn’t happen (like my pal Liesa said this morning)?

4) And Alex again. Ok, let me set the record straight - I think Elizabeth Reaser is doing a fantastic job and I really like Alex. But please, for the love of Denny, don’t hook those two up. Another intern falling for another patient? Been there, done that. Let’s move on, shall we? Oh and Alex is over Izzie? Yeah right.

5) McDreamy had a really good episode. It was nice to see them all back in surgery, saving lives. Guest star Shohreh Aghdashloo was fantastic. All of the docs trying to impress Marlowe was funny. I loved the Addison and Mark fight. By the way, is Mark on there for anything other than screaming and bitching? Just curious.

6) Meredith is trying to work it out with her dad. Good for her. Maybe she can one day be half dark and twisty and half bright and shiny.

Ok, I know I said a lot you guys may disagree with, so tell me what you think.
