@Miranda Wicker it was later found out that the aide was the target but the president was shot. And also like the most recent episode of Scandal the episode did flashbacks as well. I'm a huge fan of the show and an even bigger West Wing fan so I always watch for similarities in how they display the actual workings of D.C.
I think everyone is missing the point of showing the interns. I actually enjoyed watching the interns this week because it gave me a chance to see how far our surgeons have come from when they were interns. Watching them teach the new crop of doctors and seeing Alex, Meredith, and Yang in the positions that Bailey, Dr. Webber and Derek usually held showed just how much of a rockstar our favorites have become.
As always with shows that I have come to love I trust the writers to tell the story rather than spoon feeding me stories that they think will fit me. Watching stories unfold on television is much more enjoyable when you realize that its about viewing a compelling story that is being told to you rather than catering to every whim and want of its viewers. We'd be the writers if that were the case.
Watching television for me is a lot like reading a book except its coming alive before my eyes. I don't only read certain books only because I think it will end the way I want it to. I read a book because I want the author to tell me an entertaining and most often moving story. Relax and let the writers tell you a story.
If you want a tv show catered to your every whim and idea then write one yourself. It is their job to write a compelling storyline. Let it entertain you. Stop all the whining and just enjoy the story!
Also, as soon as I saw Madeline Zima I knew her character was going to be crazy. She oozes that crazy lady vibe.
I don't see this going to a second season. I'm just not buying it. It's mid-season and they are already in love and going on a camping trip? How many times can you successful pull together and pull apart 2 people within a good 5 season run? By the end of season 2 you will already have plucked people's nerves by trying to come up with new ways and reasons to keep these people apart while still rooting for them to be together. Too fast. Too soon.
West Wing did the attempted assassination of a President. However, I do not believe its Hollis. He has too much power with this president in place and would not want to risk losing it.
I loved the superhero's storyline. Reminds me of what drew me to Glee in the first place. Lest we forget that these kids are supposedly the "rejects" of the school so their quirks are amplified. This episode really brought back Season 1 Glee for me. Who doesn't remember that Will blackmailed Finn into being in Glee club?
I seriously think that some people forget that these are teenage kids and they do not need a reason to cheat or a reason to lose interest and just move on. Most teenagers hearts are fickle and they break up religiously. No reason to put adult expectations on teenagers.
I really wish they would stop bringing in new vampires and bring in some more of the Bennett bloodline. Bonnie needs some help with these vampires consistently using her to their own means. Give the girl some back up!!!

It would have been better if they would have left Elena hanging in the hospital...opened up with Stefan running off w/ Elena to let her make her own decision and Damon trying to find them to force Elena to turn. It would have given Elena a reason to hate Damon again as opposed to just dismissing him. Bonnie's struggle needs to be an integral part of the show. Obviously she has inner conflict of loving her friend and also not using her powers to help vampires which her witch ancestors obviously hate. I'm wondering how Klaus will redeem himself to Caroline after this. It will be interesting to see how she handles the fact that he chose to save her over his sister. And Matt better have something to do this season besides hang out considering Stefan saved him.
I really may go out on a limb and ship Olivia and David a bit. I think he is truly in awe of her. I don't know why I see this coming but it is something about their interactions in the first season. I think he is going to be one of those "Messes" she has to clean up and he will appreciate her in the long run.
@Darla I am 34 with a husband and 3 daughters. And considering Derek married this woman knowing that she has the issues she has and the fact that they got "married on a post it" I think he is more than willing to step outside of the norm and write their own rules and regulations for their relationship. If Pompeo wants realism I doubt seriously Grey's Anatomy is the place to look for it. Think about all of the unrealistic things that go on in these people's lives on this show. Who gets married on a post it? Remember when Izzy cut the Denny's LVAT wire and all of the interns took the blame so that Izzy wouldn't get in trouble? Who realistically almost throws away years of hard work in medical school because her friend broke hospital regulations? I think Grey's Anatomy has set itself as a place where things don't always portray the most realistic behavior. It is allowed to step out of the boundaries of realism. I live reality....I prefer my tv to take me elsewhere.
@Darla as a woman with 2 best friends so close to me that we consider each other sisters I understand the bond. Meredith getting up and leaving Derek in his time of need just harkens back to how self-centered she's always been. That aside I love their bond. I don't have sisters of my own so I love seeing female relationships portrayed outside of the realm of sister/sister mother/daughter ties.
Sometimes as women our soulmates are other women. We find solace in others that can relate. Meredith and Christina have long ago been established as dark and twisted. They are meant for the relationship they have for each other.
The fact that Halle is going thru this and Skills, Mouth, Lucas, and Peyton are MIA shows just how out of touch with the show these new writers are. Even Brooke is MIA ans you would expect her to be by Halle's side like 24/7. These characters were so close and it rings so false that they all are like "Nathan will come home. Ok talk to u later."
