     I think it's expected that they get together. Blaine is really the first person to help and accept Kurt that way so I don't know why Kurt wouldn't have feelings for him.

     Best Episode: I personally like Rose because of the confessions of Damon's love to Elena in the end.
     Best Character: Damon, hands down. And maybe even Katherine cause I enjoy watching her manipulations.
     Worst Character: Matt and Jenna. They're both really useless and they don't really have a story in the show anymore. It's like they're extras.
     Most Impressive Cast Member: Nina Dobrev for being able to effortlessly play both Elena and Katherine. Her performance in "Katerina" was mind blowing cause she played the driven Elena, the manipulative Katherine, and the Bulgarian Katherine from the 1800s. Also have to credit Michael Trevino for his work in the transformation of Tyler into a vampire.

     Okay, first of all, I respect your opinion if you don't think that Kadee Strickland is deserving of recognition and the like but you don't need to go the extent of calling those that disagree with you "morons", "uneducated", and"el estupido".
     
     Contrary to what you think, Kadee Strickland has done a good job in portraying the role of a victim and that has been recognized by many other victims. In fact, RAINN received a multitude of positive response after the episode of Charlotte's rape aired. That just proves how her performance made an impact to a lot of people.
     
     "What incredible acting, moron? The bitch can barely cry one freakin' tear and that was because they put visine in her eye."
     I don't know if you have actually been watching the episodes regarding the aftermath of her rape but she shows great emotion in all of them. If you saw "Did You Hear What Happened to Charlotte King" then you would've seen her during that pelvic exam and how raw her emotions were.
     
     Sweetie, 'millions' of HER fans, where? She ain't got no fans, if she did why are the ratings getting WORSE during her storyline? She can't bloody act.
     I also don't know how you can say that she doesn't have any fans because a lot of people admire her as an actress. A lot of women are grateful for her performance because it's what helped them admit to their own rapes and seek help. She may not be an A-Class actress with a huge fan base but there are still people out there, myself included, that think she is great as an actress. Since her work started witbh RAINN, she has continued to advocate for rape and a lot of people are grateful to her for that. She helped a lot of women seek help for their rapes and for that, she will always have fans that are supporting her. Also, ratings have actually not gone down since her storyline. Steve Blackman, an executive producer and writer of the show, announces after each episode that they continue to lead the ranks for their time slot for adults 18-49. It has also been reported that Private Practice has gone up at least 40% in the ratings because of her rape storyline. So I really don't know where you're getting your information about falling ratings because that isn't the case.
     
     No they shouldn't get recognized for this dreck and there have been MUCH better rape stories on TV than this ish. They are advocating for women to just sit by and let another woman get raped all because of some southern twit with too much pride. Everyone thinks that this lying wench(she's been lying to everyone about everything the entire series) is such a strong character, when her reaction to this proves otherwise; she's actually the WEAKEST character. The fact that you believe this bitch with a LONG HISTORY of cancelled shows thanks to her, can act, shows your credibility to be completely null and void anyway.
     And they do deserve recognition for what they have presented because they did a good job with it and they continue to do just that. There may have been better rape stories on TV but a number of people have given this portrayal such positive response. People have even said that it is "likely the most realistic depiction of rape in media history." It is also unfair for you to call the writers out on how they dealt with Charlotte not reporting the rape because that's a real life scenario. The writers and Kadee Strickland didn't go into this without knowing anything because they did extensive research for this story. Kadee worked alongside victims to really know what it's like and to get real life accounts on survivors of rape so their choice not to have Charlotte report it right away is them showing that many women are hesitant to come forward. Also, it complements Charlotte's character that she wouldn't want to do this. The show is not in anyway advocating that women should just "sit by and let another woman get raped" because the point of them doing this story arc is to get the story out there and encourage people to come forward. The fact that they are slowly dealing with the aftermath of Charlotte's rape shows how realistic of a portrayal it is and Kadee has been doing a good job with that. Charlotte may not have wanted the rape kit or to ID the attacker right away but in the end she did it anyway. As of now the DA may not be charging him because of how Charlotte dealt with it but the storyline of the show portrays what a woman really goes through when something like that happens. And if you think her character is weak because of the way she dealt with this then you are offending thousands of other women who don't find the courage to come forward right away. It's not something easy to do and what they showcased here was how even the strongest of the bunch will find weakness in something like this. It doesn't necessarily make the person weak, it makes her human.
     
     I do believe that Kadee Strickland can act despite your idea of my lack of credibility because if she couldn't, then people would not have been affected by her performance enough to pick up their phones and come forward with their rapes after watching her.

     I'm so excited for this because of that Charlotte and Cooper picture. Plus, I think there'll be a lot of revelations coming from Charlotte when she speaks to Sheldon's mentor. I really like how they're going through Charlotte's rape as a step by step thing because it makes the whole thing so realistic.

     Definitely agree with DG. Mark and Callie's desire to have a baby doesn't mean they should have one together. It's gonna throw everything out of the window because that's just something that both Arizona and Lexie might not be able to recover from.
     
     The consequences of this will just go beyond its current premises and it will cause a serious downfall in the relationships involved. This will definitely go behind the Denny Ghost Storyline in worst Grey's stories.

559. Trial and Error: Derek Won't Work With Meredith

     12/27/2010 1:21 AM
     
     @ana114 I think Cristina and Derek are allowed to have a friendship of their own. The whole jealousy of Meredith though is being addressed with regards to this trial. Meaning, she's jealous because he chose someone else for the trial and not for any other reason. That being said, she shouldn't be jealous because Cristina and Derek are working together because that's all it is at the end of the day - work. If they were bonding like going out to dinner together, then fine, I think Meredith should have all the reasons to be jealous but that isn't the case. And the whole fishing trip together, that wasn't done to spite Meredith and make her feel excluded. Derek invited Cristina to that because he knew it would help her. Meredith has been so caught up thinking she knows what Cristina needs but none of the things that she has done has really helped Cristina. Derek's objectivity in the situation helped him realize what Cristina needs and at the end that's what worked.
     
     Also, we don't even know where the friendship of Derek and Cristina is going after that fishing trip. We don't know if they're gonna keep hanging out or anything, all we know so far is that they're going to be working together and that shouldn't make Meredith jealous. There's a fine line between the personal and professional lives of people and so it shouldn't make Meredith jealous that it's Cristina that Derek chooses for the trial. If Derek and Cristina choose to hang out more outside of work then yeah, it would make sense for them to include Meredith in all of that. However, as of now, we don't know if more bonding is what they're doing.
     
     And I don't know why you keep pressing the issue of Mark and Addison because that was under a completely different premise. I know for sure that Derek cheating on Meredith with Cristina is the last thing that Shonda Rhimes has in mind. You're going beyond what their time together means to assuming that they'll eventually hook up and betray Meredith because I know that's never going to happen. As a wife, Meredith has the right not to like it that they hang out but she shouldn't be jealous on something work related.

     Watched the promo again and I couldn't help but notice how Addison has never looked so defeated when Bizzy says that she wants a cure. I really can't wait for this episode and I hope they release sneak peeks soon!

561. Trial and Error: Derek Won't Work With Meredith

     12/24/2010 2:35 PM
     
     @ ana114
     
     I get that Cristina will be back and all but it's still a process of recovery for a while. It's not like Derek's going to work with Cristina to spite Meredith in anyway. For one, Cristina working with Derek right after she gets back will help her get comfortable with working again. It's not easy to go back after what she went through and at least she's comfortable with Derek since she knows he respects her in that sense. For another, they're working together to help Meredith in the end. Meredith might not like their new found bond but at the end of the day it's being done for her by the two people that care about her the most. And it's only fitting that Derek would want to work with Cristina because before the whole PTSD thing she was known as the best. It makes sense for him to want to work with the best.
     
     And as for the Meredith-Mark comparison, if they started bonding for no reason then I assume it would be an issue for Derek. But when Derek and Cristina are bonding together, it's for a reason and not just because they enjoy each other's company or something of that sort.

562. Trial and Error: Derek Won't Work With Meredith

     12/24/2010 2:14 PM
     
     I get that Mer will feel left out since her husband and best friend are bonding but she should understand and accept what Cristina needs. I mean right now she puts the blame on Mer so it's hard for her to really do anything to help Cristina. The relationship that Derek and Cristina have is pretty genuine at the end of the day because Derek genuinely wants to show how grateful he is for what she did. He's doing the most among everyone else by letting her recover in her own pace and not forcing her into anything and that's what she needs. I don't think this is necessarily Derek stealing Meredith's best friend but helping her and providing what she needs. Meredith's close relationship with her and the feeling that she knows what's best for her is causing her to do what she thinks is right for Cristina but in the end that's not what she needs. Derek's the one who's really helped her so I think Meredith needs to recognize that.

     I think Charlotte's expression is more on hesitation. Like she wants to be intimate with Cooper again but is of course, finding it difficult. It's good though that they're presenting it as a slow process of getting intimate with Cooper again cause it's realistic that way.

     Did someone say best MerDer scene ever is coming in January?? Okay, now that's making me even more excited!! And as for Calzona, both of them were wrong but it's about them working through it. I think Callie's reaction is right that she can't just welcome her openly because she's been hurt a lot. But at the same time, she can't do it to the point that it drives Arizona away. She's eventually gonna have to allow herself to be vulnerable so her and Arizona can talk things out.

566. TV Fanatic Mid-Season Report Card: Glee

     12/23/2010 11:24 PM
     
     I don't think Brittany/Britney was the worst episode but I think it was just done for the sake of showcasing Britney. The storyline of that episode was as weird as Brittany's teeth were blue. Although I have to give them credit cause the performances were good.
     
     Over-all, Glee has disappointed me this season. I still enjoy watching a few episodes here and there but not the way I use to. The storylines have not satisfied me and I think some episodes could have had better song choices.

567. Grey's Anatomy Sneak Previews: "Disarm"

     12/23/2010 1:19 PM
     
     I think that the scene happened between them actually follows right after where the last one ended. Simply because Callie asks if she was there all night which leads to it possibly just being the next day. And Arizona said she just came back from Africa so that's another way to tell that this is possibly right after the last episode.

     When I mentioned the thing about cardio and neuro it's not that I meant that things are black and white. I was just trying to emphasize that I hope we'll still see Cristina really working with Teddy in learning more about cardio. It'll be easy for them to just mention her still doing cardio in passing but not actually showing it. I just want to make sure that we'll be seeing both things of Cristina being emphasized because they both make up a lot of who she is.

569. Grey's Anatomy Sneak Previews: "Disarm"

     12/23/2010 12:23 PM
     
     Video 1 - I agree with Callie too. It's understandable that she can't find it easy to just forgive Arizona. What went down between them in that airport was intense so it's only logical that it would have its consequences. It's good to see that there is animosity between them because if Callie just welcomed her with open arms, then it would be as if there was no hurt there and that Arizona didn't do anything wrong. It's gonna be another journey for them to find forgiveness with one another to get back to where they were before.
     
     Video 2 - I really like how they're giving Teddy a storyline of her own because it's a chance for us to really get to know her. I don't think she's an idiot in anyway but it's just that she's compassionate and she really took to heart what happened with Cristina. There are a lot of dynamics involved with this story so I like that those are going to start coming out.
     
     Video 3 - I agree that it seems a little far fetched and beyond coincidental that Cristina was there right when the shooting happened. I'm sure they're gonna find a way to give a reason as to why she's there but it's just a little too cliche for me. Still, I'm glad she's coming back.

     Definitely sensing it's Cristina as well. Derek's sort of made her his new project of some sort so it would make sense they work together once she's back. Although I hope this doesn't stray her away from working with Teddy because it would be pretty out of character for her to just switch entirely to neuro when she's been for cardio all these years. A good balance of working with Derek on this and still learning from Teddy is what we need.
     
     And if it's April he's working with, I'll just shoot myself.

572. EXCLUSIVE: Julie Plec on "Dark Place" Ahead for The Vampire Diaries

     12/22/2010 11:16 AM
     
     This is getting me even more excited for TVD's return. I'm satisfied to know that right now, the focus is on the werewolves instead of having that and the Klaus story happen simultaneously. I really feel like we're gonna see Tyler struggle here because he's probably going to have to choose sides the most once the werewolves come to Mystic Falls. And to know that they're still in the casting process shows we're gonna have to wait a little while longer until we meet this incredibly powerful vampire.
     
     And it's interesting to see what exactly Luka and his father have in mind especially since they didn't break the moonstone. Also wondering how Bonnie will take the revelation of what their motives are cause she seems to be the most morally uptight character on the show.
     
     So excited to hear that we're gonna see more of a shirtless Ian cause honestly, who wouldn't be excited for that.

     I really think Dr. Rodriguez is just there for the Bizzy/Susan story. There'll probably be a little flirting here and there between him and Addison but she'll set him straight again that she's with Sam. Her and Sam are in too good of a place right now for someone like Dr. Rodriguez to mess things up. And I think he's just there as eye candy. Haha.

     Anticipating this episode a lot! I really like how Charlotte and Cooper are going to take a step towards recovering together and getting back to where they were. I know it's not going to be easy and fast so it's nice to see that they're going to start to get there.
