Meredith: She wants everyone around her to be ordinary so she can be extraordinary.

I really don´t mind much seeing Lexie with Mark, what gets me going is the fact that Lexie is a very weak character. She has like multiple personalities... can´t they decide who she is? and I think that the way she threw herself at Mark was a bit too much...
The whole ghost/aneurysm/fantasy sex storyline doesn´t warrant a comment, but I will say that Alex kind of lost it, with the "I freaking love you", to me, it didn´t sound sincere, kind of forced. Anyway, the dude has just no luck, he doesn´t deserve this from Izzie, being cheated on with a ghost, very sad...
The thing that I liked moost was Cristina all the way. First, when she told Meredith that she didn´t choose her because they were fighting but because Alex was better prepared to do the surgery. I have the feeling that Meredith is taking Cristina for granted. Meredith was being self-centered when she told her about her picking Alex, making it about her. It wasn´t about Meredith, it was about qualifications. But she

The Lexie and Sloan thing was really gross...teach me isn't a turn on.
MerDer: Seriously the relationship is finally working and now we barely see them together.
Izzie and George: I'm getting really annoyed at their characters both too whiny or they act all crazy, i swear izzie has a brain tumor. the zombie sex is weird i'm surprised no one walked in on that yet.
Chris/Owen: kiss scene was HOT!!!
Alex/Izzie: that could have been a great relationship, but he had to sleep with that ugly chick like along time ago...but instead she's sleeping with a ghost...while he actually loves her this time...typical for this show.
I hope for next year's Grey's anatomy episode there will be less whining and less depressed people...it's getting really annoying knowing that everyone is either whining or depressed. Not everybody is depressed all the freaking time!

I hate Bleccxipuke, that is my nicname for Mark and Lexie.
I love George and Izzie sharing scenes, yay! He needs to be there by her side.

How is Mark and Lexie a nice thing? Seeing her strip for him and beg her to teach him over and over again made me wish Mark would just slap the heck out of the silly child.
How pathetic is she? Am I that bad? Get some self-esteem girl and stop bedding any guy who pays you attention, especially when he is old enough to be your dad.
Now I am not sure I want George and Lexie because I am a Gizzie fan for life, but George and Lexie would be a billion trillion times better than Mark and Lexie aka Maxiepad.
But thank you for finally finally remembering George exists, is loved by so many fans, and is best friends with Izzie.

MARK AND LEXIE ARE STATUTORY RAPE, END THEM NOW! THEY ARE SO GROSS.
George and Izzie scenes are the one thing keeping me watching but if they continue with the grossness of Mark and Lexie, I will watch the Gizzie scenes on YT and quit the show.

Mark and Lexie is horrid. What are they doing to Lexie? She showed no interest in him and now she goes strip in his room like some common h*oker? ugh, and was it just me or did she look like a little girl doing it with her creepy uncle?
I think she is making him regress. If she was making him a good man, he would have kissed her and that is it,l not jump her bones. Hey maybe I am a prude but I like romancing someonem, dating them before showing up naked at their hotel room.
So so so wrong and to make it worse they have zero chemistry.
God this show does all the wrong couples: Alex and Izzie, Mark and Lexie, Callie and Sadie when Gizzie and Mallie should be together.
Lexie is a total twit who cuts herself and uses sex to get favors from her boss, so I want her off my screen now.
CL is a bad actress and not attractive at all. I feel so sorry for MD having to make out with this unattractive child.

I both loved and hated this last episode...
1. Loved the "vent" part. This Owen/Cristina thing has got real potential and I really enjoyed all their scenes together. Plus, it gives back all that is missing between Mer/Der right now. I also loved how Cristina stood against Mer and the interns in the end... She's so right! Now all I wonder is how Mer's gonna fight for their friendship.
2. I loved how Mer stood up for Alex while everybody was making fun of him. I think she realized why Cristina was pissed. And I also loved the way Mer's been supporting Alex before surgery. Always have loved how she's been her friend, regarding all the bad things he's done...
3. The Slaon and little Grey thing: so nice!! At first I thought it would be weird to see them together, but now I think it could be great. Will Lexie be the one to make him a better man?
4. George being concerned about Izzie: finally someone noticing she's not as usual... and the fact that it's George is nice, cause I've been

i love the lexie/sloan thing!! when she showed up at his door and whatnot i was like omg annoying.. but then when she said "am i really that bad" and he said "no, i am" and they started making out? HOT.

I'm a devoted Greys fan, but sadly this week's episode just didn't do it for me. The writing style changed and with all the close-ups and cut-to's and intense dramatic music I felt like I wasn't in Seattle Grace OR watching Grey's, but possibly a certain soap that also takes place in a hospital.
And because MerDer aren't fighting then writers make Mer/Christina fight...uh. And Lexi/Mark...and Callie/Death and Denny/Izzie/Alex...and...well George.
It just seems all wrong!
And Christina Owen is hot, but with the fans going on them while kissing....well...HELLLOO Disney.
*sigh* I hope next week is better. I put my faith in Shonda.

I don't think Cristina neccessarily is more deserving of the solo surgery than Meredith. Meredith's shown her medical aptitude on more occassions than any of the others. Tricky patient diagnoses - I can't think of specific incidents right now, but I think people have already mentioned some - clinical trials... Meredith certainly has more compassion with her patients. I think Meredith's seriously underrated. True, we saw more surgical talent from her earlier on - McDreamy's perhaps proving to be a bit of a distraction from her career... It's fair to say Cristina's more focussed and her surgical skills as such are more highly tuned... But I believe Derek, at least in part, when he said he didn't pick Mer because it would look like playing favourites. I reckon he would have had a hard time choosing between them otherwise.
Having said that, I'm okay with Cristina not giving the surgery to Meredith. Alex did present a better argument.
