Something is off with s6...? its never been a "dark" show but now, eina!

George and Izzie on the bench, their fingers interlinked and smiling radiantly at each other.
There never was a couple more in love and more happy, and they would still be together if Shonda had had the courage to stand up to the haters.
There was no doubt their love was real. They were in love and it showed in every gesture and looks they gave each other.
I haven't seen Izzie that happy since.

Well we George and Gizzie fans have been called delusional, immoral, insane (just yesterday) and so on. We have been accused of supporting adultery. It's funny because I doubt the MerDer fans have been accused of this. It's a TV show.
I don't have a problem with Aleex crying. I have a problem with him telling Izzie he married her only because he thought she would die, blaming her for him falling for her and trying to bully her into making the right decision about her treatment (while George respected whatever decision she made).
She treated George badly? She told Alex a corpse was twice the man he was, used him as some sex toy she treated like dirt while obsessing over both George and Denny (remember the cupcake scene where she was more worried about George than interested in Alex then dumped Alex there the minute she saw Denny?), insulted Alex all the time and told him he didn't deserve anyone. The whole shut up and do me, I didn't feel any love there. Like she told George she n

Fanny - Actually, I have been called shallow on these very boards and have seen another Alex fan called "sick" because she liked someone who was "abusive," so I'm not making up these insults.
As far as Alex vs. George, we just aren't going to agree and thats fine, I was just stating my opinion and feelings on the subject. It does seem like you have a double standard where Alex and Izzie are concerned though. It is okay for Izzie to cry and rant due to the special circumstances of Denny (dying) and George (being married) although these were situations that Izzie knew about well before getting involved in the relationships, but it isn't okay for Alex to cry and rant because a person that he has cared about for a long time gets cancer and actually had a death experience in his arms. That doesn't seem fair, but whatever. I will agree that I am also tired of seeing him cry all the time and hope that he has some kind of happiness coming his way.
Again, I am a reasonable person and

Being a fan on the bad guys on TV doesn't make you a bad person and I'm not seeing anybody who did. You need to stop seeing insults where there is none.
My best friend loves bad guys and I like nice guys on TV shows. That doesn't make her bad.
TDS, that's your opinion. I think with Alex, Izzie turns into a sex-obsessed selfish nympho who cares more about getting laid than the fact her best friend and person just died.
She becomes this person who lets a man blame ehr for getting sick and making him love her, a woman who lets herself be put down.
With George and Denny, Izzie was an equal and would never have let them speak to her that way.
Plus, maybe what you see as selfish and hysterical means she loved thsoe guys so much, she didn't want to lose them. It was extraordinary circumstances too (denny was dying and George married), but if things had settled down and they had been allowed to be normal couples, she would have lost that.
Izzie was always happiest with George

YAY! for Shonda Rhimes (probably?) choosing Sweet Honey in the Rock! (Wade in the Water)
... oh, and it's difficult for each episode to be 'better' than the last- there is an arc to a season- a rhythm. maybe a judgment or magnifying lens held up to each week's scenes- is not the way to go--

anuflas - thanks for the comment! Don't worry, you aren't the only one. I like Alex too, so I am apparently shallow and I like to be abused by men.
I can fully admit that Alex can be a HUGE jerk and there are many times that his behavior frustrates me. (I think that the word abusive is a pretty strong word and if it applies to Alex it applies to just about every character on the show). But as a character he is written well enough (and acted wonderfully) so that even when I don't like what he does, I can understand it. For god sake its a tv show...in real life I would run far from just about every single messed up guy on this show. But as far as entertainment goes, I find Alex to be extremely interesting and entertaining.
I don't love Izzie, but I like what she brings out in Alex and especially I like what he brings out in her. Although I was a big fan of the Gizzie friendship, I found that both Denny and George brought out a side of Izzie that I really didn't like (ie -

*rolls eyes* Ok. Yes, I love the bad guy thing. I'm a horrible person, whatever.
Immature losers? Now who is being immature here? I'd prefer for Izzie to have died but no, we don't always get what we want to, do we?
You have no idea of the things I've heard in funerals. So I won't even bother to answer that.
I understand Mark's and Alex's remarks but there is no way in hell you people are going to stand in their shoes and see it from their POV. Sad.

I have so many things in my head after the premiere!! I don´t think it was disappoiinting, but i really think it was like a total disorder, maybe because of the 40 day thing and stuff but it didn´t catch my full attention as it used to.
I have to say that Alex´s reaction it´s so normal, i mean, he did everything for Izzie, he ignored the DNR in order to save her life and he suffered so much just to hear from his wife that she wishes a brain tumor?? come on i don´t think Alex is being a jerk, he´s just angry because of the fact that Izzie wanted to use him like a distraction because she misses George.
I loved the final scene, when everyone takes the voice over to express their feelings, and do something about it, but i really didn´t like the construction of the episode because it was like a brainstorm.. just ideas that didn´t get into something..

For me the creator of the show in her mind wrote George off early last year and really just glossed over his death in this episode. I found the story completely lacking in emotion. George and more importantly TR helped make Grey's what it became - a damn good show. She could have at least respected TR and his work with a better send off then he received on this 1st show.
