I so agree with you Rose on what you said about Shonda thriving on conflict. I've learned not to expect too much happy Bang moments because I just get disappointed if I get less than what I expected. Another thing, Burke and Cristina are CLEARLY not Shonda's favorite couple in the show. But they CAN'T call off their engagement. They just can't. It would be too much for them already, wouldn't it? I mean, we've waited for such a long time for them to be really happy!

I agree that it would be bad storyline for them to call off their engagement, and I don't really think they will. But to be brutally honest, the coming episodes are when we will have to deal with the fallout from the Golden Globes incident. So we just have to wait and hope for the best.

well, i guess the happily ever after part der was talking about is kinda hanging in the balance with shonda loving the dark and twisty. its like the chief said, lets hope for the best, but prepare for the worst

IW did say there were going to be weddings more than one so lets keep our fingers crossed. Something I heard not Bang related was the little girl in last weeks episode was going to be the daughter Izzie gave up for adoption. Would kinda make sense because it looks like her mom's gone and Izzie needs someone in her life right now.

Thank you everyone for the welcomes!!! I did not mean to say that burke and cristina would be over, just that after the fight, they might be rethinking the whole engagement thing and that meredith being in danger will be an eye opener for Cristina(shonda loves the drama). I think that they will grow closer and reunite in "some kind of miracle". Who knows, she might even tell him she loves him( now that is a miracle lol...) I still think that these 2 are getting married at the end of the season.

Hi Rose, I read Gloria Parks post and really enjoyed it. It is great to hear from new folks sometimes and to get their views. I agree she said things I love too. The elevator scene was the best. I even loved Burke's voice when it gets kind of high like when he said, "for the ladies?" Cracked me up. I agree with cadiex, I am ready for some happy Bang, too, but I am not as worried about last week. I wanted them to be able to share their news with their friends and for everyone to be happy for them. It was disappointing that there wasn't a way to build that into the episode. Bangfan would say that this is just more evidence that Shonda really isn't invested in this couple, but I think she is. I read somewhere that she was quoted as saying that both Derek and Burke are parts of her ideal man. She has kind of taken traits of her dream guy and given them to Derek and Burke. Derek is dreamy and romantic and Burke is passionate and gentlemanly. Both are intelligent and outstanding in their field. I think in some ways she has also given Meredith and Cristina, both, pieces of herself. The dark side of Meredith and the way she approaches her life as well as the driven competitive side of Cristina I think are both parts of Shonda. I think in the long run she is going to want both Meredith and Cristina, the two parts of Shonda, to find happiness with their dream guys. I don't think Shonda will ever let us be sure of what is happening with them though along the way. For Burke and Cristina she will put up obstacles and make us sweat it out right up until the wedding. She is going to keep us on pins and needles and that is actually a good thing. You know she likes to surprise us. If everything was lovey dovey you know something would happen at the end to spoil it all. This way if she keeps us guessing now I think we are more apt to actually have a Bang wedding to look forward to by season's end. I honestly don't mind their mind games with each other as long as it is clear they both care, and they do. Burke's question about why in 45 minutes she hadn't told Meredith about the engagement is just an indication of how much it means to him and how unsure he still is about her love for him. If he didn't care it wouldn't matter so much to him. It reminded me of the scene on the stairs in season two when he wants to tell the chief and she doesn't and he asks if there is some other reason that she doesn't want to admit to the relationship at all. I think he can't quite believe his luck and he still has doubts that she loves him. The same with her really. She knows she can only push him so far and then she backs off because she really does love him and she doesn't want to push him away. So this past week when he asked his question and she didn't really have an answer, she retreated. I wish she could have just said that Meredith seemed preoccupied and that it just didn't feel like the right time. But, they have never communicated very well about things close to their heart. That is what makes the moments like her confession that she believed she was right and didn't want him to forgive her and that it didn't matter because she was in it for the long haul, or his I'm Preston Burke and I love you speech so outstanding. Because it isn't typical of them. Both speeches were extraordinary because it wasn't a usual or ordinary thing for either one to say. So as much as I want to see love making, and dancing, and happy ever after. I am just happy that we get so much evidence that they are very much a couple who care so much about each other. In the long run that is what is most important.

Hi marilovesgreys. I agree with your analysis of the situation. I do think whatever happens to Meredith will have a profound effect on Cristina. The writers have built up their friendship even more this season than last. I agree that Burke's spirituality is going to help Cristina through whatever is going to happen to Meredith and that in the end it will bring them closer together. Meredith is clearly not going to die. But I think there will be a scare and when medicine fails and all that is left is prayer, Burke will be the one to help Cristina through it. So much of Burke's character (and I so agree with you that he is hot and sexy)challenges Cristina to reflect and think on her assumptions. Her character continues to grow and evolve as a response to him. I see this as being one of those times. I am looking forward to the next two episodes. It is easier to look forward to them when you aren't constantly afraid that they are going to kill off your favorite character. It is probably hard for the Meredith fans this week, but seriously they would never have her leave the show.

Hey guys, maybe the blow up fight over announcing the engagement is the one we just saw. Or maybe she will be even more angry that so many people know now that she can't tell Meredith right away. Even so, when the fights are about really pretty superficial things, it doesn't worry me. As long as they love each other, I have faith that they will eventually get the hang of being a couple. If they learned anything from the whole hand tremor thing it was that they don't want to lose each other.
