  I thought Meredith looked very big!  Seriously, Ellen looks beautiful and very healthy, but how are they going to hide this obvious pregnancy??  I will prepare to be impressed.

• George SPOILER (8/1/2009)

  I really had a problem with the "George" character.  He did do admirable things, sure, but overall, he was a wet blanket with no soul or gumption.  I especially did not enjoy watching him ruin a marraige - a marraige that was all wrong to begin with, sure, but a marraige none-the-less.

  And, honestly, I couldn't get past the fact that T.R. played a straight character.  After all the behind the scenes drama about TR's orientation, it was impossible to suspend reality and believe he was a heterosexual on the show.  I really believe that the reason why his "marraige" to Callie seemed doomed was not because of Izzy, but because George seemed more likely to be into Derek or any of the other guys!  I guess I'm just a shallow person, but I was totally and completely unable to see George as a straight character, and I suspect many folks had the same problem.  (And I'm fine with gays, really, I just couldn't see THIS character as being straight.)

  Finally, George had too much history with Meredith and Izzie and Callie to have the story go anywhere else with him.  He had run out of options, and unless Shonda wanted him to break up ANOTHER relationship or introduce ANOTHER new character, George was doomed to be the constant reminder of everyone's past indiscretions.

  I hope TR finds meaningful employment in his future.  Somehow, I think his best bet is to put all his G.A. earnings into a solid, safe bank account.  I cannot see him breaking out of his type-cast at this point.  It is too bad he walked away from the best show on television, but I believe Grey's will be better off without him.  Sorry fans!
