Cristina was the obvious Gunther and she was. Just not on that case. She stabbed Alex with the epi and someone had to take over so Jackson did. It was between Jackson and April left so obviously, Jackson.
McDreamy has to get over it. And even he said Mer has to let the Chief take fall for her so they can keep Zola. I just hope the Chief can still be a surgeon. Finally, he was ready. He wasn't ready to give up Chief seasons ago, he wasn't ready when he had to step down for drinking. Now he is. Bailey's not too happy though. He's protective of Mer because of Ellis.
And with the phone call to Adele, it looks like the drug is working.
Mark should be with Lexie. I'm not much for Teddy but I like her scenes with Henry.
Owen finally got it. He'll get over it.
Can't wait next week.

I am sorry to say but i really dont care that Jackson Avery is the Gunther. He might be hot and pretty but seriously he did not emerge as the Gunther from the beginning until Christina and Alex stepped aside (not until Christina almost accidentally killed Alex). He failed to keep the team under control.
I do not see the reason why Bailey would say "Meredith's the reason we need a Gunther!" to the Chief. Was it because they have lost her, therefore they need one now ( a new Gunther) or was she pointing out the fact that by firing Meredith, they would lose a Gunther, hence we need to get her back. BOO!
Avery as the Gunther? SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY? He's not focused nor is he as excellent as Christina and Meredith.
When Meredith and Bailey instantaneously shouted "THE BIGGEST NIDDLE YOU CAN FIND" together at the intern, I thought Meredith was amazing and Miranda Bailey had taught her well. She would be an excellent surgeon someday. Who gives an ass about Avery.

Derek may be the brain surgeon, but Owen is the one with the brains. Good for him for finally understanding the person he decided to pair up with for the rest of his life.
I can understand why Derek is still upset, even if it hasn't been well articulated in the season 7 finale and season 8 premiere. Anyone else remember when Mer stopped him from telling the board about Richard's drinking? "Flaws are unacceptable to McDreamy!" That doesn't seem to have changed, he just seems to have forgotten the post-it.
Richard... man, he finally, finally, finally did so very very right. It was right for him to do what he did. After all, Meredith did what she did to protect his life with Adelle, why would he sacrifice her career so that he could continue to work long hours as his wife was ill? His actions seemed to tie into Teddy's baby-delirious babble about handing the reigns to the next generation. So, you know, that's a nice and subtle tie there, Grey's writers. Good episode. :-)

What a great episode! There's so much that was set up for the rest of the season.
Mer/Der: It's gonna be really interesting seeing them try to come back together but I hope they don't try to make it all about Zola, but that they really fall in love again.
Chris/Owen: Personally I was hoping that maybe they would compromise on adoption but they didn't. But I really appreciate the way the abortion scene was handled. I don't think that Shonda or any of the writers were trying to make political statement. It was a totally personal scene and couldn't have been done better.
Alex: Yes, he was wrong to do what he did. But the poor guy has been pushed down and then kicked a few times almost every season and what Lucy did to him last season was unbelievable. He deserves a good storyline this season and I hope he gets it, I hope they don't kill him off because of the arrhythmia.
Mark/Lexie: She is just one of the best characters this show has ever had. I want them back together. 'nuff said.

I love Alex, even when he's a jerk, but I was laughing my butt off when Christina temporarily killed him. I wonder if the underlying arrhythmia and its cause is going to become his storyline for the season, especially since his family is supposed to show up at some point.

Although I liked the season opener as a whole, I so tired of Meredith's pitiful ways. Yes, I probably would have done the same thing for the Chief and his wife, but take responsibility for your actions. And Christina has really ticked my last nerve. What type of doctor is she not to be able to figure out how NOT to get pregnant. This is her second pregancy. Should she have learned the first time?
Great season premiere. But nevertheless miss Mark/Lexie scenes? Any hope for their fans?

Awesome episode worth the long wait. Hope Derek forgives Meredith soon, I could see shadows of hope during episode 2 when he realizes Alex is helping Meredith and that the Chief may have put a new angle on what Meredith did and the Chief taking the fall for Meredith.

It was the perfect season premiere imo. Everything was still messed up, leaving room for storylines to fix everything and everyone. It was easy to relate to everyone. I absolutely loved Meredith & Cristina in this episode, I loved the Arizone/Sofia moment, I loved the sinkhole. Great episode!

first thing I love Zola and Sophia they are beautiful!!
second when Grey's makes an accident it's HUGE! great 5 stars for that!!!
Moody sarcastic Bailey! how much we missed her! and how she took christina down ! Bailey-ed! I didn't get Bailey at all in this ep and her
I love sexed-crazy Altman and bad breath Arizona!
Mer&Der i got why he is mad and she deserves it! he was doing the the research for her so if something happens to her he had a cure! she deserved his hate!
I like the way Mer is around Zola! She has gone a so long way! She gave all of her! The talk to Owen! Best moment of the episode!
we all knew Kapner was the worst choice for CR! but she must step up for herself!Character evolution !!!!
Nice start into the season! :D

I'm sorry but this episode is very sad and in some moments must be great than other.I understand that the first episode but Shonda is always the same .I like Alex and Cri,i was crying with Mer .About Derek ,i don't say a word...after these words ,he goes away... in this moment i hated Derek ,infact this is that Shonda wants.I'm very disappointment about the Bailey.April chief-residents ,i'm smiling.The Chief ,i like me.
I didnt like Dr. Bailey much in these episodes, i know that when one of her former interns does something wrong she takes it personally, but still i didnt like her attitude in these episodes, hope we get to see more of why she is so pissed at Mer, i mean i like Dr. Bailey but she can be so hard sometimes....

Owen and Derek were continuously being immature and cold to their wives this episode.
Meredith and Cristina continued to be the "Twisted Sisters" and not knowing what to do about their problems.
I pity Alex a lot, but that was his best friend and he had what was coming.
I feel sorry for April. She's trying to do her job and she's not being listened to.
Teddy is just as annoying happy, as she sad. Enough said!
Callie and Arizona's happiness is plausible and it makes me happy that we're going to be drama free from them for a while.
Lexie and Jackson are a nice couple, but I only see her with Mark and it's obvious that this is the season for them - Mark and Lexie.
As for Bailey, I understand why she is mad at Meredith, but jeez, give her some slack. She's already suffering enough. However, as Bailey has high morals, I'm cutting her some slack
And finally, The Chief, I love how he was trying to be comforting for Meredith and trying to cushion the blow for her termination, but he ca

Boring episode, Is lexie even apart of this show anymore? She used as more of a prop then anything. Mark/Lexie not having any scene but i'm suppose to see this as a triangle?, not to mention dose J/L do anything but have sex? Rebound central. God lord. Mark's facial hair is strange, but on the good note i'm loving Chyler's new haircut.

Horrible... a sink hole is funny? What?!? And 'miracle grey' and the baby... what?!? Chief takes a fall for grey? Geeeeeeezzzzzzzzzz. Writers out of material??? Old reruns are the only things worth watching. This was a disgrace. Won't watch ever again. Cancel this show!

Sorely disappointed in the premiere. Grey get's off scott free? P-L-E-A-S-E. The sink hole takes second billing to comedy??? What?! Very disturbing, not worth watching... sorry I wasted 2 hours of my life. And what's with Private Practice actors coming back? Maybe one season too long.
