GREYS ANATOMY - 17 Seconds

Deborah (Mrs. Dent): Love means never having to use your girlfriend as a human shield!


Yeah, so after all the finales, I took a little blogger break, cause my brain needed a rest. But here I am, and here we go!

Well, I find it comical that every show goes after fabulous VM actors. Mrs. Dent the journalism teacher and Vinnie VanLowe were in this Ep and Jackie is in the next one...whoo hoo...keep promoting MARS! And Vinnie basically plays the exact same character that he does on the show...typecasting comes to mind...hmm...
So I loved Meredith's monologue about anger because I think its so true, and watching her and Derek interact in the bar was awesome. "after all, it did make the top seven."

The first thing that pissed me off in this episode was Burke leaving Christina and taking Alex instead...come on now. Yeah, alright Burke, you're a person first, whatever, but choosing one intern thats less qualified over another for personal reasons that asked first. Stupid. Burke lets his judgement cloud almost as much as Izzy, and he has way more power, so its way more dangerous.

I don't know if we're supposed to feel sorry for Addison now, or what, but it just doesn't translate to me that this intelligent sophisicated woman would be so incredibly dense and blind when it comes to her husband. Why does she want to settle. Its not like this is the first time there's been something between Derek and Meredith, but now's the first time she loses it? Yeah right. You've got someone else waiting for you in NY...go home. I'm a little confused with the metaphor about the dead girl and the baby though. I saw it as Addison is trying to hold onto Derek even though he's gone, just like the parents are trying to hold onto the girl even though she's gone, but it seemed like they wanted to make it something else. Like Derek holding onto Addison isn't about love its about fulfilling a need or something. I guess I can see that, but Derek isn't the one that came back to Seattle and asked for his spouse back. Derek isn't the one that refuses to see that his spouse is still in love with someone else. Derek isn't the one that is still lying about the relationship he had in NY. I love that the chief gave her what she deserved...you're not the only one with problems lady.

I loved the interaction between Meredith and Callie...they took a real step towards a friendship and after what Callie did for Meredith, I can actually see myself liking Callie eventually. When Callie helped her find out what was wrong with Doc because George talked to her, it was actually the first time I didn't hate George, so that's something.

So now to the thing that I can't even talk about without getting so angry I can't even see straight...I/D. "If I was gonna pick someone who was gonna go psycho and shoot up the place, its Izzy. Totally." Yeah...I mean seriously? They even almost got me on board with Izzy doing this psycho crap because she's clearly lost it. But you know what, Meredith and George and Cristina HAVEN'T lost it...so yeah, more on that later. I think the whole reason that I didn't like these episodes much is because they were so I/D-centric...and the fact that Burke isn't an idiot and he knew about what she was doing, makes me sick.
