I wish Violet would just go away! I don't see her being an asset to the practice anymore at all...notice how must people are basically annoyed with her. Charlotte keeps holding her and Cooper together each week. It's nice to see this storyline and was great to watch Charlotte say to Sam that she and Cooper would handle the problem together. No one's perfect, but I really appreciate her character and her character constantly sticking to her commitments and responsibilities.
P.S. Benjamin Bratt is just dreeeeamy! Excited to see how it'll all play out with Jake/Addison/Sam, but every time he's on screen, my cold heart just melts!
I liked seeing Meredith and Derek all lovey-dovey again! It'll continue to take time, but ultimately, she needs to be back on his neuro service. Same with Cristina and Owen. I love them as a couple, and I know the abortion makes things a little weird between them. I hope the writers keep them together (I think they will), and I can't wait to see how they progress as a couple.
Last thing: why is it that Callie and Arizona always have to be rude to someone to get some privacy? I'm not the biggest Callie fan, but I remember them being so anxious to get Cristina and Owen out of the apartment in season 7, while Cristina in the midst of her PTSD. And now, Callie is "pleasantly confrontational" with Mark about needing time alone with her wife. Sure, it wouldn't be Grey's without those little dramatic moments, but it would also be nice to see more moments with these three having simple discussions about their interesting parenting dynamic. Just my two cents.
God, I hope it lasts forever! I would love to see him and Mercedes...we were teased at the end of Season 2 and never really got to see any of their relationship!
Poor Dan. His book gets published by his meddling friend, and he basically has to deal with getting credit for writing a captivating story and losing his friends. I really only feel bad for Nate and Chuck. Nate doesn't even get his own character, and Chuck's story in the book is just sad. While Blair has a right to be mad, why would she be dumb enough to make those statements to Louis without reading the book first? He's only suspicious because of her past, and rightfully so. I love Blair, but she should've been smart enough to read the book first before doing damage control. And it was so good to see Serena finally wake up to her selfish immaturity. Her thinking that the book would show her progressing as a person was hilarious. What an idiot.
I completely agree, Maria! And I feel like at this point, Alicia being seriously involved with someone would just ruin the progression she's made. It would be great to see Alicia on her own...no Peter, no Will...but maybe with someone new, eventually!
And why is April constantly making mistakes in the O.R.? She's CHIEF RESIDENT. The show has never really shown her possess any sort of admirable surgical talent. Everyone else has their stuff together. I'm so glad Mama Avery was there and tried to help out the poor girl!
I still think that Meredith and Derek will be fine, and all of the craziness in their relationship is just temporary. I think Derek's "hatred" for Meredith seems long to viewers because we only see it unfold for an hour each week. There are plenty of normal people who feel betrayed by someone they've loved and trusted, who hold onto that anger and frustration for an extended amount of time. People need time to work through this stuff, y'all! No one is perfect, not even McDreamy...so I'm confused as to why people keep hating on Derek, especially when you know it'll all work out for the best anyway.
I'm really enjoying this season of PP! I totally agree with the review...Addison needs to move onto Jake. Maybe it's because I've just always had a thing for Benjamin Bratt, but that needs to happen ASAP! And Violet and Pete are just annoying. How awkward was Violet reaching out to Addison because "you've had sex with my husband"? I hope Pete moves on, but I doubt that will happen. I literally started yawning whenever both of them were in a scene.
Bailey will come around. She's still an incredibly talented surgeon, so she'll be fine. We all have to learn to get along without the people who mentor us.
I'm pretty tired of seeing people debate whether Alicia is justified to sleep with Will because of Peter's infidelities...so naturally, I'll just add my two cents on the issue. :)
Simply put, I think that Alicia and Peter look at these affairs from two different perspectives: one highly logical, and one highly emotional. When Peter admits to sleeping with Kalinda, he tells Alicia that it was "before she was your best friend." And he's right! While it significantly hurt her, it's not the standard act of betrayal that you see in most situations when a husband sleeps with his wife's best friend. And at the same time, Alicia is justified in being upset about that development, and I think her reaction to it by forcing Peter out of her life and letting Will in is one that's emotional...because it just can't be classified as logical. Sleeping with your boss when your husband is the State's Attorney is one of the dumbest things anyone can do, regardless of the situation that led you there. I admire the character of Alicia tremendously, but she's the "good wife", not the "perfect human". Her affair with Will will have, and rightfully should have, significant consequences.
This was another excellent episode. I just can't get over how well-written this show is.
I really do think April and Alex will end up together. April's bound to do some growing as the season progresses, even if it's just in terms of being a better leader. But Alex always talks about how the people around him get crazy, and oddly enough, I don't see insanity in April's future. But April and Jackson might be more realistic.
I'm giving it some time. Any time I see episodes from Season 1 of SVU, I get bored. It was still a good show, but that chemistry that ended up developing between the actors (and inevitably their characters) wasn't as prominent until later seasons. I do like Detective Amaro's character, and Kelli Giddish is fantastic on The Good Wife...hopefully the writers will explore her character a little more.
While I do like Lexie's character, I didn't even notice she was missing! What I did happily notice was the lack of Calzona drama, and I really appreciate that it hasn't been a factor so far this season. The show is best when it focuses on the original characters. How great were they all this week?
And even though he's not an original, I love me some Owen Hunt. Looking forward to next week's episode and some good Chief Hunt scenes!
What a great episode! Glee made me excited to be a fan tonight.
Blaine deserves the role of Tony. He's just better suited. Kurt should get over it...although I doubt that he will, and I'm pretty sure this will be the first hoop they have to jump through as a couple. And Quinn has some balls, thinking that she can take care of a baby. Utterly ridiculous. Shout out to Mr. Shue for having a spine, though! That's probably the best scene he's had in the entire series.
I'll keep watching, but let's be real: I'm still upset that Blaine just transferred schools like that! Sure, it's a TV show that often blurs the lines of reality, but if I were Blaine's parents, I'd ask him for a check to cover the amount of money they spent on Dalton Academy, only to have their son transfer schools for a boy and a singing competition. Just sayin.
Such an incredible set of episodes to kick off Season 8! A couple of thoughts:
-Derek is within his own right to still be pissed at Meredith. I don't know about y'all, but I think any real person would be devastated to learn that their partner compromised their job. Did Meredith do what she did for honorable reasons? Of course. Is Meredith a good person? Of course. But like Derek said, sometimes Meredith's level of insanity defies imagination....and in the real world, that has unfortunate consequences. Kudos to the writers for not completely settling this issue in the season premiere, but I do hope Der & Mer get back on track soon.
-Sandra Oh deserves an Emmy! She brought a fantastic combination of wit and emotion to these episodes and is my favorite character to watch every week.
-Not surprised about Avery. Remember Season 6 finale, when he took the monitors off Derek to make Gary Clark think he had died? It seems as though he was introduced as a very talented, skilled surgeon, comparable to Cristina, and then in Season 7 he was written as just a pretty face. Nice to see him step up.
-Did anyone else catch Derek's comment about "calling every ER in town to make sure she wasn't over by a bus"? Those throwback remarks to previous seasons make me happy.
