so i love calzona but ive been a greys fan for way longer and i must say that this episode was amazing. i know its an ensemble cast and that is one of the main reason why i watch the show, but ELLEN POMPEO ROCKED THIS EPISODE. It was cool to see an hour in the life of one of the docs of greys. And seriously if they had to pick 1 doc to try this out, it should be the character that put GREYS in Greys Anatomy. Loved this episode!! it was a great change of pace and im super excited for next week.

@vanessa its called greys anatomy for a reason and im sure all the actors on the show knew that when they signed up to work on the show. katherine heigl left cause she wanted to work on her movie career, but sara has publicly stated that she loves working on the show now and considers it her family. As for Ellen Pompeo, she freakin killed that epiosde!! Love her to pieces!! So @amelia i totally agree with you and @vanessa you're seriously a dumb ass!!

This was one episode that centered around the "main" character of the show people, and personally i think ellen pompeo rocked it!! You didnt see a lot of arizona, callie, owen, etc because mer isnt really friendly with them. So yeah it was one hour in the life of mer so idk what you really expected. And seriously @Vanessa, Sara Ramirez says she loves working on greys. And honestly i think sara, owen, jessica, and whoever else you wanna throw into the miz knew that they werent gonna be the lead when the show is called GREYS Anatomy...

I didn't understand why KH insisted to quit GA last year, but now I get it,no matter how hard you work here everyday, it's Grey's anatomy, you can't gain the respect when your talent's more than a leading actor
if Sara wants to quit GA,I'll totally support her decision, really waste time
I also think both of Jessica & Kevin should consider to stop playing AZ & Owen, go to pick up " a leading role"

MerDer are so sweet together, they really had me fooled with their little elevator date xD
i really enjoyed the chemistry between alex and dr fields. i've never been a huge fan of alex, but he turns out to be a great surgeon and always surprises me with his intuition for what the patients really need. dr fields has a weird but likeable way of humor and thinking, and she seems to notice things in alex that most of the other people on the show just don't see. i hope she stays and this turns out to be something real :)

This is one episode which I can't stop watching since Thursday night, I seriously have lost record of the number of times I might have watched this. Ellen Pompeo deserves much more than awards and accolades for this one, it feels like she really gave her heart and soul into every scene. every dialogue and the way she emoted with her eyes,gosh very few actors can emote with their eyes with such perfection. The nursery scene, the scene where she calls time of death, the scene with Chief, the scene with Adelle and the scene where she talking to the dead patient's nine year old son, each and every one of these tore me apart, specially the last one gosh she was just outstanding in that one. Its seriously one of the best epis not only all season but throughout series, I mean for me it goes into the list of all time favorite epis and that is saying something considering I have loads and loads of all time favorites Grey epis specially from the first five seasons. Very proud of EP, the fact tha

I havent seen anyone have a problem with Mer. Just that the epi only showed her. The epi was classic Grey's because it showed what a dr goes through. It got back to the medicine, the drama of the ER. I love Callie to no end, however I wouldnt watch a show strictly about her. That has to be others involved to keep my interest. I even applaud the Mer fans because she finally got some well deserved airplay. I miss Derek. Love the smile. I mean really who doesnt lol
Im not a fan of Mer's. Doesnt mean i dont like her or this show. Just mean that 50 min of her was too much for me.
This epi was also good because of Teddy. She gets a bad rap sometimes. But she showed why she is a cardio God and hardcore. She didnt blink an eye, she didnt panic, she went in and did what she could. I like Teddy, always have.
Loved seeing Mer and Christina's friendship. They are so amazing and reminds me of my friends. Twisted sisters RULE!!!
So yeah alot of this epi I really enjoyed but

I just wanted to add something because it seems that some of you didn't get the point. I did love the episode and it was great for once to have Mer as the center of attention but as an exception. In fact I was just saying that it wouldn't be interesting if every epi was like this! I love all the characters!!
And remember that we all love the same tv show!! :)

P.S. I don't really like dr. Fields (yeah, I forgot her first name), she's kind of... idk, fickle? Or maybe it's just because I love Karev so much and can't handle someone toying with him.

LOL looks like the weight of ONE freaking episode on meredith Grey was so freaking powerful that it has completely wiped out from people's minds and memories the archs and archs of episodes spend on setting up crap like CAM and Cristina's PTSD although the PTSD SL was saved thanx to SO and PD's brilliance but who in the name of hell would save the CAM crap? Sadly no one because not only are the characters ruined the actors too are in a spree to deliver their worst performances ever LMAO
But the point is everybody forgot all of these episodes and started whining just like their Queen Callie in just ONE episode and they have the nerve to attack other fan bases when they complaint LOL Such hippocracy.
Anyways I am proud Meredith Grey's ONE episode had the weight to wash out the entire season's mess thats the reason why its called GREY's Anatomy and not ENSEMBLE Anatomy
And WORD to whoever thats saying it was old school Grey's last night, and I guess the majority is with me so that says

Okay everyone relax, it was one episode focused on the leading lady. This season barely had any Meredith. All Cristina and the threesome crap. So what if one episode was focused on Mer? Well the musical episode is going to be focused on Callie. And what point of it would be if they showed more characters? Mer was running the E.R, why would they show Callie, Arizona, Owen, Mark etc.. from the 30 seconds screentime of Callie she still managed to got on my nerves. So annoying and mean. This season totally ruined her character along with AZ the 'stepford' wife.
For me it was the best episode of the season.

it was a good epi focusing on the medicine which is great,,,lol "did i quote a Callie quote"!! but it was boring to me coz i didnt get to see my favorite characters, and once Callie had a scene she was annoying,
ive always been a great fan of Mark and Callie then AZ.

This is the energy I always expect from Grey's. After all, what is a medical drama, without a little focus on the medical aspect? The cases were awesome, and the comic timing was perfect! Meredith is back to being the tough surgeon she is, and I now wanna see Christina in action too!! :D Awesome episode, it feels like we are coming back to the days when nobody could raise a finger, or whine and complain..I think today's episode has made all die-hard fans of the show very very happy!! :-)) Love Grey's!!

February 18th, 2011 10:56 PM
I agree some fans said GA's a medical show,pl make all main charactors be a doctor ,save a life, no more baby, no more triangle
I don't think it's the best ep in S7, too many actors have nothing play in ep15 and GA still hire at least 4 guests-Adele,Eli,Henry& william..
one more thing,unbelieveable Bailey likes Eli? just she need sex ?? it's not her charactor?

Well for me, it felt like old Grey's because of the WRITING. It was a well written ep with the humour we've come to know, the drama was intense (the elevator scene with Teddy & Mer) and great medical cases. Most of the eps this season has been written all over the place but this one actually made sense to me.
But you're right, we do need all the casts to play their part and have screen time. I think this ep was just a welcome break for some fans because it didn't feature the ridiculous CAM baby sl that most have been frustrated with. Well, at least that's how it felt for me anyway.

I think that people are just overdoing... I'm reading sentences like "yeah I loved the episode, it was like the old Grey's!!"... Really?!? The old Grey's was like that? With 42 minutes of Meredith and 2 minutes for every other character (like Cristina or Alex or Derek)? Just tell me cause maybe I don't remember! I can understand your excitement about mer but let's face the truth guys... if every episode had mer in every single scene it wouldn't be interesting but boring!! Grey's needs all of its characters and this is the reason people watch it!!
Don't get me wrong I loved the episode (especially because of the focusing on the medical part) but was just ONE episode!
