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

I agree with Bubble Wrap Boy. That's what makes Gray's so good. All the characters are flawed in some way but in more humane, character driven flaws that reflect more true life, not like the character of the week in most shows that come in and everything is honky dory by the end.

All the chararters from Christina to Meredith to Derek all know about their flaws and to what exactly what Bubble Wrap Boy said above -sometimes they know but don't know how to fix it and at other times just don't care.

Also Ellen Pompeo (Meredith) played Karen Page in the Daredevil movie - though most of her scenes were cut. I think she only appeared once or twice.

I dont get these romance shows the concept is so dumb.
They have jiggy jig gets busted. He either goes back to his wife or they take off together to some other town.
Thats it!
Thats how the world works you dont keep having moments if you both like each other you get together, None of this Ross Rachael crap where you dont hook up for 10 years even though you both want it.
for frick sake have them run off to some other town and then it can all go springer for them when he hooks up with some new peice of fluff down the road.

Ah, PolarBoy, that's the difference between the real world and TV series. The sexual will-they-won't-they tension drives the show, as it has many shows over the years ("Moonlighting," anyone?).

I'm as stunned as anyone that I actually like "Grey's Anatomy" in spite of its formulaic setup. The characters are well rounded, capable of surprises, and easy to identify with (particularly George, who perpetually doesn't have a clue, and Miranda, whom nobody wants to cross but isn't as tough as she appears), and the dialogue is witty and spot-on. The show also spends a significant amount of time showing the patients' cares and tragedies, yet instilling a ray of hope (as with the disfigured salesman in this week's ep.).

Even when the outcome of a plotline is inevitable, there is something about it that rings true. Meredith's decision between McDreamy and McVet was one such inevitable moment, but what it revealed about each character surprised me.

Plus, I'm also wondering what Izzy's going to do with all that money ...

Maybe she'll buy the bar and serve the docs drinks after work now...

Just not into this like I was the first two seasons. Plus with the cast self-destructing off-camera the show is bound to suffer. Maybe I'll catch the repeats this summer but, for now, CSI (the original) is much better.

I'm a little behind in my episodes, but last week's show seemed extended. I only set my VCR to tape for one hour. It stopped at the point Christina just left the Chief's office, "ratting" out Burke before Burke could and then she was out in the hall sitting on the floor as Dr. Hahn walked by and told her she was lucky to be under Burke's tutelage. Did I miss much after that?

You can check out old episodes on abc.com - I don't remember exactly what happened after that myself. These past two episodes have been really good though - the story with Burke ended up affecting almost all the characters in some way and it's been a lot more meaningful than the whole love triangle thing with Meredith

Indeed. I'm glad Meredith and Derek have "found" each other (for now?). The resolution of their arc enables the show to focus on the other characters to great effect. Cristina's betrayal of Burke and the fallout of that has been one of the high points of the series so far.

I'm surprised nobody's chatting up this show here now that we're a few new episodes into the New Year and especially since stupid Issiah Washington's controversial comments.

Regarding last Thursday, did anyone else's jaw drop when Burke said: "Marry me."

Interesting note about the George proposal. The mother of a once good friend of ours died and our friend had a guy who had been pursuing her for some time. He took her to the funeral and when she came back she was engaged to him! Weeks before she told us she was physically repulsed by him! I still don't believe she's a happy woman, but who am I to say? They're still together and with 3 kids, but grief can do strange things.

This season just hasn't interested me at all. Loved last year. Plus they put it on against CSI. Sorry but that's like expecting me to chose between 24 and Heroes. Oh, wait...

I'm just glad Izzy finally deposited that check. I mean, it was making me nervous that it was just sitting on the fridge wasting interest...
