Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Gray's Anatomy

Anybody catching this quirky dramedy? What a great ensemble cast! There's nobody I find boring on that show, even the supporting characters. And diversity abounds in the casting. Love it, love it, love it!

I too am a fan.

Agree. Great diversity in the cast. And I love Dr McDreamy Patrick Dempsey.

Even Alex is growing on me.

New season tonight! Will she choose Robin or McDreamy?

At first, I hated this show -- young doctors in lust: where have we seen that before? -- but I've slowly gotten drawn into it.

The episode where the young doctor fell asleep at the wheel and plowed into a car carrying a pregnant woman and her husband and parents was one of the most moving shows I've seen in awhile.

Grey's Anatomy is the Superbowl of shows for females. My g/f is enthralled. My mom and sister are hooked. And at my new house, my two female roomates (and three of their friends) are so hooked, that this was a 'lets stay in, have a [lot] of drinks, eat some food, cry on and off and watch Grey's Anatomy' night.

I just don't get it...but I find it fascinating how everyone is *so* into this show!

Everyone likes a good cry...

here, here...a good cry is always good.

It isn't just for the ladies. The (very macho, literate) men where I work are just as into it as the women in my department.

It's not the concept that's original, it's the fresh actors and their delivery of those lines! It's the first time I've ever seen a show so racially and ethnically diverse and yet race is such a non-issue with casting romantic relationships (e.g. Burke and Yang, George and Callie, Meredith's mom and chief-of-staff guy). And Christina Yang as a Jew - oy vay!

I think if McRobin wants Meridith he's gonna need to use every device in his toolbelt to combat McDreamy. Or better yet call in Batman. The episode featured the (bubonic) Plague but there was nary a castle, dark age, leper, or infected rodent to be found!

I was watching the premiere with a female friend and she was still heartbroken over the loss of Denny. I think the writers totally succeeded in every aspect of drawing you into him and Izzy's relationship before lowering the boom. As shamelessly manipulative as this show is (they contrived a *prom* at the hospital!) it does it well.

Can't wait to see what they do with Izzy now that she's quit -- could there be some "I never filed the paperwork" reprieve (I hope not - her behavior warranted getting booted (if not criminal charges)). I wouldn't mind seeing her take some other function at the hospital (social worker?).

Why does McDreamy ask Meredith to make a choice? He's still the one married! - Unless he's already chosent to leave Addison.

And what will happen to Addison now if Derek leaves her? - a fling with Korev? He does seem to be a ringer for McSteamy in some ways.

Then again, how many interns can be sleeping with their superiors?

Just to clarify, I do think the show is brillant--just commenting on how all the females in my life are so in love with it! I can totally see why so many male fans are into it too.

Oh and a question--is the McSteamy guy going to reappear on the show? He seemed so central during the recap to all the drama...

McRobin is McVet. And McSteamy is returning.

Gray's has a comic book connection too. Allan Heinberg of Young Avengers and Wonder Woman is one of the writers on the show. So expect some comic book references to pop up!

Another Comic Connection: McSteamy is McMultiple Man from X-Men 3. I wanna see McRobin vs. McMultiple Man! Or maybe McRobin + McMultiple Man ?

All these Mc references have me hungry for a Big Mac.

I'm confused: Who is McSteamy? I know Derek is McDreamy, and Robin is McVet ...

The Meredith/Derek romance is what holds the series together, yet it's the arc I like least. Derek is a married man, for gosh sakes! (And Addison is hot, but that's beside the point.) I cannot sympathize with the guy, no matter how charismatic/tortured he is.

(Of course, in the season premiere, they imply that Addison had an affair first, but two wrongs don't make a right.)

McSteamy is McDreamy's former best friend who he caught sleeping with Addison.

Thanks for clearing that up. Has McSteamy ever appeared?

He was in an episode I think mid last season and I think I read somewhere that he'll be coming back this season.

When he came to vist--to take back Addison, McDreamy caught him flirting with Meredith and punched him in the face.

Meredith's choice at the end of the ep certainly wasn't what was expected, but was probably the best choice for the show since they get to drag out (in a good way) the main romantic relationship of the show. Honestly though, I don't think they've done enough with McVet - he's *too* much the good guy! If they make him any more understanding he's going to take himself right out of the competition.

So it looks like they're going to bring Izzy back -- I hope it's not just that easy. I find it hard to believe she'd be let back in given what she did.

George catching Callie with the Chief was pretty funny though!

Liked the music from this ep. I want one of Izzy's muffins, they look pretty good. Didn't expect to see McMultiple Man (McSteamy) so soon, and certainly not that much of him. Must have been working out a lot with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants too

Last ep was almost felt like a crossover with "Heroes" with "Supergirl" being admitted to the hospital. The Hal Jordan message was awesome (being a big GL fan) and the Batman/Robin towel thing was funny.

I have a feeling I'm going to end up disliking Christine even more with Preston being laid up. It's so obvious she's afraid of being stuck with someone who isn't a brilliant surgeon anymore. Rather then being supportive of him, it's like she just wants her "brilliant surgeon boyfriend" back.

Actually not so obvious to me. My take was that she's afraid of getting stuck with someone who wants to be mothered, and we've (she) seen how he interactis with his own, my read was that if he was hankering for a second mom, that he was going to be sorely mistaken because she's not having it.

Cristina's incredibly flawed, brilliant, but flawed, which to me is what makes her so endearing. She also knows she' flawed and at times you can tell she wants to correct it but doesn't know how, and at other times she couldn't give a rat's ass, lol.
