No You Guys, I’m the Girl From the Bar!
Author: Stacy28 Sep
Want to know what I lovedlovedloved about last night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy? Medical cases! Oodles of them! Remember back in Season Two, when we had fantastic storylines such as The Great Train Wreck and The Quints and Teen Hermaphrodites? Yeah I know, it’s a bit of a stretch for me too, since last season didn’t teach us much about medicine except you can stop a brain from hemorraghing on a ferry using nothing more than a drill from Home Depot, a dirty work shirt and a phone line with two attendings and a chief of surgery.
Having said that, it was FANTASTIC to see the show’s momentum back on the upswing with detached spines and detached arms and detached emotions, but VERY WEIRD to see Alex, Meredith, Cristina and Izzie as residents; as in, honest-to-God surgical doctors who have to teach other people. I loved how each of them channeled their inner Bailey and implemented her management techniques in his or her own unique way. And, Izzie brought a deer back to life! She couldn’t save Denny, but she could save Bambi…and I mean that in a completely non-George sort of way. Nothing can save George at this point.
Other than that, I won’t even address the George/Izzie storyline. You all know I loathe the two of them together, apart, whatever. They’re really sloppy and risky and gee, do you think someone’s going to find out about them soon? Me too. Seriously, I’m not going to address it..except the part about how the show undid 57 minutes of cheering and giggling and clapping with one sentence out of George’s mouth at the end of the show.
In a similar vein, was it or was it not really strange to watch Callie all flustered and screwed-up? I don’t like Flustered Callie. She had no problem ordering around interns and other residents last season before she was Chief Resident…why is she struggling so much now? What happened during George’s 17-day break between his first last day as an intern and his second first day as an intern? Plus, the writers need to quit with the pregnancy/baby talk - completely insane.
What do you all think of Lexie? We’re calling her MiniMer. Besides being fresh-faced and making Meredith look about forty years old (oh wait, she is), I am not terribly crazy about her character or the fact that she’ll probably hook up with George later in the season because, well, that’s what chick interns at Seattle Grace do.

Callie needs to kick everyone’s ass… put them on the same rotation as their interns until they grow up… Speaking of, who was chief resident before Mer’s group got promoted? Burke? Oh that is why everyone is so flanced up.
Lexie is either gonna submarine Mer or Izzie, I think we’re past the point where Cal-orge is feasible, though I hope that the damn writers figure out that NO ONE likes Gizzie.
Course Lexie and McSteamy could double with Mer and McDreamy, then with wondertwin powers rule the universe.
Okay.. help me with the timeline though, their Dad left Mer’s mom when exactly? How old was Mer, and how old is Lex? Is there a glaring inconsistency in the story line or am I missing something?
They didn’t really have a “Chief Resident” character until this season…one would presume, because everyone finally scooted up a rung on the ladder.
Burke was an attending…and everyone hates him because that’s how Shonda wanted all of us to remember Foremost Cardiothoracic Surgeon, the Most Dishonorable Preston Burke.
I believe Mer’s dad left when she was five. I assume Meredith picked up about four advanced degrees before showing up at Seattle Grace given the fact that Ellen Pompeo is two years older than me…so their age difference is about right.
Okay I didn’t realize that Mer is real life was that age.
LOVED the entire show - and I can say that because my dvr cut out right when Izzie was walking to the door so I didn’t have to *hear* George say that one sentence.
Lexi IS Meredith.
jesus, they could have given her a different personality. instead, she makes the same speeches as meredith and befriends george and meets derek in a bar.
Great. Meredith lite.
Mere Beta
So what DID George say to Izzie? My dvr cut out too!!
I see George leaving Callie for Izzie and then winding up with Lexi. She’s younger than him and looks up to him, and it would be the first time a woman saw him as the older, wiser man and I think he would eat that up. I also think that as soon as George leaves Calli, Izzie will have fallen in love with someone else. Then George will look for comfort in his new friend Lexi and…oops…George will officially be the mack-daddy of SGH!
I was so irritated in that the DVR shut off right when Izzie answered the door, so I had to check out summaries online to see what he said. I don’t like them either — it’s like watching incest or something. And the thing of it is, that of all the people that I know that watch this show, NO ONE likes them together, so I’m wondering where the writers are going with this.
I also thought that Callie was behaving really out of character compared to last season. She had her shit together and it seemed odd that she would crumble like that.
Still, it was better than Private Practice:)
HATE Lexie.
The end.
PS The writers have RUINED George in the last year or so. UGH.
PPS LOVED this episode. Like you, I feel like the “old” Grey’s is back.
