Oh, I forgot the Izzie question. I think she will defnitely go back inside the hospital and face Richard. The prospect of going back to her internship got her to stop baking muffins, didn't it? It is just a matter of time. She should have some type of punishment and remediation plan of some sort when she does go back. I think it will be Alex who ultimately gets her to face the Chief. Wasn't he cute in episode three leaping around so happy because he thought she was back. I hope she is able to see around his bravado to the tender, caring guy he can be. They are good for each other.

Perfect Date For Meredith. (She isn't my type, I'de much prefer a perfect date with Preston, but it might look much the same.) I think she and Derek should go hiking in the beautiful countryside around his trailer where they used to go with their dog. He could then fix her dinner with candlelight and music. They might dance a bit in the moonlight and then spend the rest of the night making love this time with no barriers like booze, work relationships, and soon to be ex wives in the way. I think she likes simple things, romantic thiings, and sex when there is love attached to it.
Cristina's Tough Love: I remember Burke saying after the jazz musician died that he wasn't the smartest, but he was the best because he worked harder than anyone. It is time for him to show that he can still do that. I think he absolutely needs Cristina and her belief in him. Remember when she gave him back his scrub cap and she said she kept it to remind her of what she wanted to be and that was

I very much agree that this is an ensemble cast, and I find that my "favorite" character is constantly changing from week to week, because they're all so much fun and so interesting. And I have no problem with Mer-bashing, because sometimes she is annoying and does stupid things, just like everyone else. But I often feel like people don't even want to give her any consideration, which doesn't make for very entertaining discussion. I don't have a problem when people have a different point of view, but if they don't even care enough to share it, well, that's a bit boring to me. And really... we all know she's kind of whiny. I'd like to know what *else* people think of her sometimes!

Wow.!! I don't know what to say. This is an AMAZING show. I mean, It's not just extreamly popular in the US. It's a hit i Denmark too.I'm from Denmark, and I sometimes meet people who walks around talking about Mer and Der. Isn't that cool? I can't wait to see episode 3, but is gonna take some time. So I have to get my "up-dates" from this site. :)

Ah Beth, y'know, just because you like the 'main' character, please don't attempt to play the 'reasonable' card with people who find other characters quite as 'main'. This is an ensemble cast.
Many shows would kill to have a controversial main character that has as many people hating her as liking her, so while this may annoy you, I promise that the writers and hte advertisers would find this 'round table' discussion oh so delightful.
As for your not being entertained by this discussion perhaps what you want instead is a straight out Meredith support site. There you will find no one to disagree with you and it appears that that is what you are seeking.
This show is an absolute delight to me and a surprise to me. I came on board because I'm a Patrick Dempsey fan and after the first episode of Addison I loathed her. Imagine my surprise to find writers so talented that they made an unsympathetic Addison totally appealing and somehow made me, a Dempsey fan, completely unint

Response to Amy-
Meredith spent much of Season Two trying to get over Derek ("fixing what he broke," as she put it). He hurt her pretty badly and never admitted that he loved her, so she had little encouragement to remain emotionally attached to him. He chose Addison and so she eventually chose to move on. It was a big step for her to date Finn, and she obviously really likes him - she specifically didn't want to sleep with him so that she didn't mess things up.
So while she's not in love with Finn, he's never done anything to hurt her. And while she used to love Derek, she's been trying really hard to move past him, and she can't quite forget what he did to her before. Hence, dilemma.
And besides, dating is fun. And it comes with snacks. Who would pass that up?

So, how about instead of attempting to be witty, you guys actually give us something to think about? These round table discussions are rarely enlightening and border on the annoying... I question why you all so faithfully watch a show whose main character you seem to despise so much. AwayWithMerDer, while your screenname says it all, you described not one, but TWO characters as "whiny" ...if you're so intent on being negative, could you at least thumb through a thesaurus and mix it up for us?
The rest of the site is great. This is probably the least entertaining feature.

I don't think she is pregnant. I think it will turn out to be something else. But why not have a good pregnancy scare first. If she is by chance it would most likely be Derek's. Because she hasn't slept with Finn. Poor George didn't even get to finish. Thank goodness for that one. That only one left is Steve and I hope they don't go there. Most people want Mer/Der together anyway so I do think a pregnancy for them is still a long ways down the road.

people addison needs to get over herself how can she blame meredith for wanting to be with who she loves, her marriage was probably over with or without prom night i mean mcsteamy was willing to fly in from new york for a one night stand she obviously won't be lonely for long she should go back to new york and leave merder to make amazingly sexy talented surgeon babies

I guess I'm a little confussed. Mer was crushed when Derek took his wife back and was very much in love with him and Derek recently confessed that he was in love with her.Mer didn't really date Finn for very long and if you watch the show closely, she never slept with him and she never fell in love with him or where exactly does he fit in as actually competition? He is really good looking and he's a great guy but I don't understand what Mer's choice is based on? She is in love with one man and not the other, what is there to decide?
Second off, the previews for next week give the impression that mer is pregnant. The last show of last season gave the impression that Mer had never slept with Finn, then Denny died and she decided to date them both. She then told christina that she wasn't sleeping with them until she picked one. Last night we witnessed them going on their first dates. How can she be confused as to who the babies dad is (if she is pregnant) when apparently, she never even

Hello miss, I'm not sure if you're the same poster, but tonight after work I'll transcribe the ending speech by Meredith. I don't think she actually deserves to be treated like a lady, but it was a heckuva speech!!

The scene where Mer finds Addie in the storage closet, made a conection between them. Mer remembers vividly that feeling and has compassion for Addie. I don't think Addie is wallowing in self pity. She took one day to drowned her sorrows (literally) and make a "booty call" to Mark, and then she was back at work, where she has to face her husband of over 11 years and the woman whose panties she found in his pocket. Some women wouldn't make it out of bed for a month, especially with McSteamy there!

Meredith: People change, but they don't change.
