The pilot

by AmyD

I watched the pilot episode on Lifetime last night. It brought back such fond memories - I LOVED when it was on Sunday nights. It seemed like such a perfect way to end the weekend and start the week - with my Grey’s fix. I don’t own the DVDs (I KNOW, seriously, I can’t believe that, either), so I’m going to watch it on Lifetime. I found lots of things that Shonda Rhimes carefully set up in the pilot that allude to current storylines.

1) Derek and Meredith. They were always intended to be the show’s center. It’s that simple.
2) Izzie and Bailey - from literally day one, Izzie and Bailey had a unique relationship.
3) George and Burke - he picked George for the first surgery because he intending to “ride one hard and the rest will behave.” Before the accident, they became close.
4) Alex is an ass. But, I am so glad that he isn’t simply a one note character like he was in the pilot. He’s shown others sides lately.
5) Christina and Meredith - let the love/hate friendship begin. Christina was the first to know about Meredith and Derek. That set the stage for her later relationship with Burke.
6) Meredith is all dark and twisty inside with lots of momma problems.
7) And the first person to utter the word seriously was…. CHRISTINA. But, she said it ABOUT Izzie, so I love it.

Can’t wait to see the rest of the series unfold all over again!

    I am SO excited for an actual NEW episode. You know, that is NOT a re-run. I am going through grey’s withdrawal.

    I’m norally asleep by 10:00 but not anymore, not on Sunday nights. I didn’t start watching Grey’s until my sister threatened my life (if I didn’t watch it) during season 2. So I have NEVER seen any of season 1. Watching that first episode was so great. I can’t wait to watch the rest of season 1 and fall in love with the show even more.
