This episode was seriously most touching since the season 6 finale! Loads of stories got closure! Loads of Mer screen time! It was fun to see how Queen of Dark and Twisty was spreading the hope and motivation among the victims' relatives.
Loved the Alex-Stark-Arizona scene. good to see Slexie is goin strong! the Bailey cursing scene, the OR view gallery laughter scene.... Loads of memorable scenes this episode i must say!
The most amazing scene was definitely the last one with Crsitin and Mer.. "Wanna get some crack cocaine?" .. shows that our old snappy quirky and ambitious Yang is Back! :D
Couldn't agree more with Cristina being the best character.. Sandra Oh is just AMAZING! and that's a reason that's why people are calling it Yang's anatomy now! (No Offence MerDer Lovers)
and yes sadly, i agree that Merder are no more heartwarming to watch.... even the Mer's miscarriage announcement to Shephard scene was so fast and abrupt that it left no significance .. MERDER being the main show runners must get some more effective storyline than just merely a Alzheimer research conflict.
And yes April is likeable.. but I dont see her filling the void for Izzie! Kat Heigl had the charisma and potential that none can match. And PLEASE DONT GET ALEX AND APRIL 2GETHER! it's just cruel for us Izzex fans!
What i would like to see along with all mentioned above is CLOSURE FOR IZZIE! I know shonda meant death as in closure and then she canceled that idea totally... but please don't leave One of the 5 main characters of the Show just hanging in the air... just plain flaw in a remarkable Drama!
As far as Grade is concerned , For me Grey's is always A+! ;D
Happy B.day to the Gorgeous and Talented fellow-Scorpion person! She's an awesome actress! May she have all the happiness of the world stored for her this year and for many to come!
Christina Yang Quit! .. Seriously? who saw THAT coming? Although I am kinda confused who to side with in the Mer-Cris dispute, Cristina is just looking to blame someone for the shortcomings she's facing and ofcourse you will blast it out on the first person you can clearly think of being remotely involved in that situation.......... where as I totally empathize with Mer too, She didn't call upon Gary Clark to come and shoot all, she lost a lot herself that day, she shouldn't be blamed....... Will have to wait and see how it goes.
April is annoying psycho ,but yeah i admit, Like-able! ambulance sequence was Funny! but I still can't like the idea of her being with Alex... a VERY apparent effort to clearly replace Izzie (which is kinda unacceptable for any core Grey Fan)
Mark , Lexie and Callie! wow that's gonna be fun to watch!
P.S: Am i the only one who thinks that Merdith's Pony tail was yet again ALARMINGLY high as she did when Der's mother was in SG? :P strangely she was in a conflict with Cristina back then too!
I know he cares ... but most of the times he seems quite Selfish..
I mean he just fired Izzie just to make his position at the highly volatile hospital secure.. HE could have stood up up for her but instead he fired her and moreover told her that her own husband is against her! (I know it was all for KH departure but still!) as a charachter he has no culpability to any human being other than his own Hospital... He only helps Mer when it's convenient to him.
Well i dunno about anybody else but i have noticed a thing:
Chief is always .. yes ALWAYS behind breakups between our favorite couples..
Let's Review:
Season 1: He was the one who called upon Addison to SG. Result MerDer's First breakup
Season 3: Made Derek realize that Meredith is holding her back and hence resulting in MerDer break # 2.. similarly he told Burke his decision of not making him chief adding to his departuring decision
Season 4: Bailey's marriage went on rocks just because of him pushing her a lil too much.
Season 5: Nearly broke Merder apart when he sent Mer to a Mentally troubled Derek in woods by telling her abt the Ring.
Season 6: Told Izzie while firing her that Alex gave a negative reference for her.
Now He is doing that again!! with Calzona.. maybe he is bitter about never getting a happy ending with Ellis himself :P
Nice to see someone out there feels this way too... seriously Blaming producers or KH is no good.. the thing is that a True and Loyal Grey Fan would never want a CORE character just vanish without a proper sendoff! and Izzie - the most considerate one among them all?
First of all I would say: Katherine Heigl is a person entitled to do and speak what ever she wants.. she didn't want a full time affiliation with a Drama when she got other things in her life.. which absolutely make her made the choice and I respect her for that!(though wished she could have managed through all that staying in Grey's... but Oh well!)
As far as Izzie's comeback is concerned.. I want her back.. but Not rite now! I would rather have her back around Series Finale when the Original Characters ( YES I DARE TO SAY IT! THE four Out of Original 5 Interns!) get a Closure! (as 5th 's chapter is way Closed!) Although not counting upon it but it would be nice to see her ending up with Alex.. her true soulmate! One thing which was consistent through out the Grey's was the attraction between the two ( even with Denny and Ava thing in between)
Miss Izzie and KH like hell though! wish at some point this would happen!
Nice episode but i would agree it left me wanting for something more..
Loved Callie this time! Loved her manipulative tactics over her colleagues! Arizona was cute as ever dealing with her "Facing The Authority Figure" issues... though i m still really not seeing what would make AZ leave as J-Cap's maternity leave episodes are drawing near..
I really Really Hope Mer doesn't have Alzheimer! that wud be a bummer! hopefully key forgetting is just a normal thing like we all do! I do that with my shades all the time! but yeah that fear in Derek made his project more appealing.. though sad that he didn't get the million dollars....... but as Bailey said .. nothing would have happened in just a mil!
Finally THANK GOD Cristina is coming back to herself! Hope fully she would be back to her Robot surgery hungry self in no time! and I don't find Teddy Bashing ok! She was being a mentor! she was pushing xtina to get her overcome PTSD and it helped.. way to Go Altman! Hope to see more about her too!
I wasn't much annoyed with April... uptil now! Sorry Sarah Drew (she is doin an amazing job) but APRIL AND ALEX!! NO WAY IN HELL!!
I hope Shonda wasn't planning on that when she said "closure" for Izzie and Alex! I mean this would be an outright act of atrocity towards IZZEX fans! If Alx has to move on it shouldn't be April Kepner! first she has taken over Izzie's room now his man! No way! Get Alex someone sassy... hope so Rachel taylor is coming around for Alex not Avery.
I don't blame KH.. she had valid reasons to do what she did.. and lets not forget, she's the ONLY grey's actor who managed to GET AN EMMY!
I personally don't feel Lexie will go cuckoo over it.. maybe a lil bit cranky but NOT cuckoo!
KH! if only you can comeback for an episode or two .. :(
I seriously Loved the episode.. So far the best of this season! the storyline and Dialogues were really well-written! and actors are always awesome of course!
Loved Cristina's baby steps towards getting back to what she really is! Firehouse for a home.. wow! :D
Lexie again did a good job this week. and loved her when she told April, "But if you put up a freakin chore wheel... I WILL KILL YOU!" HIlarious!
Also loved when Mer told Lexie , "You are not Crazy Lexie, You are a Grey!" .. True! ;) and ofcourse " Hostile Uterus!"
Just wanted to say that Shonda really want ppl to like April... but giving her Izzie's room DEFINITELY NOT a good step to gain her likeness! I dont really hate April.. but this Izzie replacement thing is really going against April.
Arizona was hilarious too ... And in total agreement with Alex, No Discrimination when it comes to Jugs! ;)
Ok Seriously.. I like Arizona but in these sneak peeks, I feel like giving her a good slap! "Tell Owen to get traumatized wife out of the apartment" ?? The apartment is as much Cristina's as Callie's! looking forward to see Callie give a good lecture to Arizona in the episode abt her insensitivity!
Yang! :( Nice to see Derek standing up for her! Hope she recovers soon! We need HArdcore Xtina back!
April is OK but please! NOT with ALEX!! (yeah i know KH aint coming back but still He's ALex, he needs someone with Sassy attitude!)
look forward to see Amelia too .. and it's a relief to know that Mark hasn't tried sleeping with her! Other than bailey, Congrats to Amelia on being the only woman Mark hasn't hit upon :P
So much intense episode than the Season premiere.. If it would have aired in a back to back premiere it would have left a very lasting effect!
Cristina! :( the O.R collapse was really really heartbreaking... Good to see her person Mer being there for her! though it was a troubling week for Cristina but her dialogue abt Lexie "50 says she is going back into the Cuckoo's nest!" HiLarious!;D
With that Jackson's welcoming comment for Cristina and Cristina's returning wedding ring back to owen, i almost (a part of my heart still does!)wished that they both will somehow end up together.. but Oh well, Crowen for now!
As i have been saying (rambling again n again :p ) that it seems like Lexie is going to get more drive in her character.. so it was quite obvious she won't have her happy ending just now with Mark when she has started to boom back.. but yeah maybe at the end of season 7 or next season i would like to see Mark and Lexie together as they are meant for each other!
Meredith's opening up to derek could have been a better scene..not that Kleenex moment i was expecting it to be! The Kleenex moment turned out to be the Mer and Cristina talk on the OR floor...
@ Layla:
Mer, Cristina and Alex are ALWAYS the one to watch.. I meant to say Lexie isn't just going to be Meredith and Mark Centered character anymore.. She, if not equal to the main 3, will be the highlight this season...
Just not throwing things, Did u see that Crazy rant abt Mass murders and how she hit back Alex's raunchy comment? Lexie's going real Badass! (We need some BadAss cuz apparently the Queen of BadAss Cristina is losing it!!! :( )
Whoosh! Thank God that new doc isn't for Alex... that means there's still hope for Izzex! ( Even a Closure of it would be nice for the Fans of ORIGINAL fab5interns)
Personally i never saw Teddy-Jackson getting together, If this Trauma guy isn't staying, i'm lookin Forward to what Teddy gets!
I have said it earlier and i gonna say it again, I have a feeling this season's big thing to watch is going to be Lexie.. Chyler Leigh's amazing portrayal will take this character to a new level.. I neither like or dislike April but this Mer-april bonding will drive already On-the-Verge-of-breaking Lexie cuckoo.. just sayin!
In the Group pic, All look amazing ( well who in Grey's isn't Amazing, Duh?).. Definitely Mer and Cristina look the best and the main eye catchers of the photo... But have to admit: Teddy lookin HOT!!!
@ Daphne:
wow i never thought of teddy as Addie 2.0! Interesting concept!
In indivisual photos.. Lexie takes the cake! simply awesome!
C'mon!.. I myself started watching Grey's for two reasons:
a)Katherine Heigl
b)Izzie and Alex Relationship
(though later on i got hooked up to entire show and cast real bad!)
The point being we all know Alex has always been an A-hole and Life's been tough with the guy, but still Leaving Lexie in such a vulnerable stage while She Literally was the only reason Alex is walking and talking is actually Inhumane and worse he is pushing on his crudeness by complimenting her in a raunchy Alex way.. I think he Deserved every word that Lexie said! He should realize every girl is not Izzie that will deal with his crap!
Again point being.. Alex deserves Izzie cuz she's the only one who can handle this wild horse! ;D
Well said! Lexie truly deserves a High 5! I was feeling the same way! I feel Lexie is gonna be one of the characters to watch out for in S7.. other than the Fab 5 ( or as they are now Tremendous 3 as the two we miss very much have moved on :( )
Finally the wait's over! The episode was Really good but i found it a bit TOO fast paced as per Grey's anatomy's Usual standards. Loads of things in one episode and it left a sense of incompleteness.. i dunno why.. but i felt like that.
Ellen Pompeo proved that she is the Leading Lady! I mean if she doesn't gets nominated for Emmy then there's something seriously wrong with people out in the jury! The Clinic scene in Mer's flashback was heart breaking how she was concerned that no one tells Derek about miscarriage while going through Hell herself!
Chyler Leigh was fantastic as Lexie! I don't think Lexie ever left such an impact in any episode as she did in this one.
Still Not convinced how Shonda has thrown the Cristina/Owen wedding on us! PTSD or not, it's too hard to see Cristina going all bridal! (just one scene with Cristina's explanation doesn't do justice!)

The point being we all know Alex has always been an A-hole and Life's been tough with the guy, but still Leaving Lexie in such a vulnerable stage while She Literally was the only reason Alex is walking and talking is actually Inhumane and worse he is pushing on his crudeness by complimenting her in a raunchy Alex way.. I think he Deserved every word that Lexie said! He should realize every girl is not Izzie that will deal with his crap!
Again point being.. Alex deserves Izzie cuz she's the only one who can handle this wild horse! ;D
