GREY'S ANATOMY - Time Has Come Today

George: I could, one day, soonish.
Derek: Soonish?? I will love you SOONISH??
Derek: You should tell her, even it its soonish, before its too late.
George: Like...before I die of the plague?


Alright, I fully intended to start this post with something to the effect of, why do I do this to myself, but I have to say...I sorta kinda maybe might have...liked it. I'm not saying I'm back onboard, but this one was actually alright. And Shonda gained my respect back for about five seconds with this line in her blog, "Because what Addison did to Derek is SO much worse than what happened between Meredith and Derek in that exam room at the end of the season." So that's nice. If Finn leaves relatively soon, (because I loathe him after the "he's not good for you" comment) then it might turn out alright. Cristina was absolutely hilarious, loved her.

After this episode, I'm convinced that there is NOTHING that anyone can do to earn back my respect for Izzy. Nothing. She is a pathetic excuse for the doctor and she needs to realize that her unparalleled lack of ethics is what landed her in this situation in the first place. And how good of a guy can Denny really be to encourage a woman to fall in love with a guy that every single day got closer to death. His odds were NOT good, and he knew there was a good chance that he would die, and soon. Smooth. And I have a feeling she's going to be back at work in NO time, which is again, so far out of touch with reality that its disgusting. She would lose her liscence to practice medicine for that...not just get fired. I was touched by her scenes with Meredith, but I'm thinking that was the Meredith part.

Speaking of Meredith, I know I'm a minority here, but I love her. Every single dark and twisty inch of her. She is SO real and SO flawed that I can't help it. I can relate to her, bottom line. I think she's the only thing Shonda does right. (we'll see how long that lasts.) And I know she isn't going to pick Finn, but I'm just saying, if she were to give that jackass another second of her time, I'd be pissed. In fact I think she IS going to give him at least a few more seconds, so I AM pissed. I'll come back to the awesomeness in a minute.

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to hate Meredith to like Addison...and I do...like Addison. I hope she gets her stuff together now that the writing's on the wall (of the exam room, of the panties...insert any appropriate cheap joke here). I did however, think it was incredibly petty of her to do what she did with the panties. We are supposed to believe that this is a strong, confident, brilliant woman and surgeon, and yet she keeps doing stuff like this. I honestly don't think she realizes yet that SHE is the one that started this whole chain of events. YOU cheated on your husband, bitch. With his BEST FRIEND, bitch. Oh boo hoo, he fell in love with someone else. Give. Me. A. Break. He tried do to the right thing and he just couldn't. Tough. Get over it, and go back to Marky Mark, who, by the way, you have yet to be honest with Derek about. Its so hard to feel sorry for you. Wow...did I just lie? That didn't sound like I like Addison at all.

I loved the tender moment between Burke and Cristina...it was appropriately held off until the end, and appropriately short and sweet. Alex is still Alex and I love him....and...I have to say...Callie is kinda growing on me. Not Callie and George, I still hate George...just Callie. I actually see her becoming yet another woman that I think is way too good for George. Her scene with Meredith when she shows up at the house is priceless. I love her entire reaction and continuing commentary on Derek and Meredith's exam room romp.

George...and Derek's quarantine was great....but just because of the banter. Nothing to do with George. And how great was the first night flashback? Props Shonda, that's what we call payoff.

So...my moment arrived. An entire season too late, but it arrived. Speaking of which, the respect dipped for Shonda again with this comment on a later blog, "But, don’t worry, I’m not dragging this out all season. I’m not gonna drag it out very long at all. I like to move things forward. " WHAT??!!! You don't like to drag things out??? You move things along? There an entire crap season called TWO that says otherwise. But enough bitching...I could not have loved their scene more. PD was absolutely brilliant with that emotion, and he didn't feel the need to trash Finn to get his point across, but instead relied on his confidence in his love for her. This is a man, take notes Finn. (ps - I really hope I don't eat that comment after this next week) But yeah, you know Meredith's heart was soaring (how cheesy was that?) when Derek said all the things she'd been waiting almost a year for him to say. Finn is SO out of the picture. FLOVE IT!


Derek: But now, all I can say is that I'm in love with you. I've been in love with you forever...take all the time you need, because you have a choice to make, and when I had a choice to make, I chose wrong.
