All By Myself

That is the episode title of tonight's Grey's Anatomy. Sadly, McWife is at work, I am watching it all by myself, very sad. Because this is the last new episode of Grey's Anatomy until 2009, you get it, LIVE BLOG STYLE!

All times listed are central time, and yes, we have snow in the central plains.

8:00: A montage of shots from Seattle, and, guess what, a horrible narration by McBitchy, about who gets the first solo surgery. My money is on Meredith, we will see. Apparently Lexie can read lips, which I guess is good for her, but, shit, Lexie should be doing so much more. God, she's hot.

I also think it is crappy that Yang can't do it, that sucks. Kerev makes a great Helen Keller joke, Lexie points to a random ass person.

8:03: The Chief announces that Yang got picked by every single attending, and, since her interns were cutting each other, Yang has to pick the winner.

8:04: Yang has to show around the President of the 12 colonies, aka the new doctor from battlestar galactica, but, Izzie is still seeing Denny, and it is the strangest shit, because Karev is trying to kiss on Izzie, and fake Denny is just odd ass shit.

8:06: Sexy Lexie goes up to Sloan, talks about sex, and Sloan freaks out about it. But then invites her into coffee duty. Miranda and Sloan will do the surgery together, I bet Sloan pulls it off. the woman who can't talk, I know her from somewhere, but I cannot imagine where. I will figure it out as this goes on, but it was in a show, and I cannot figure out which one.

8:08: McBitchy explains to her party girl friend, that, on the job, they can't be friends. Guess what? She hates being a sister, and hates being a friend. Want to know what she likes? booze and sex with married men, while being emotionally distant, while, at the same time, thinking grand gestures like creating a house out of candles, and then refusing to move into that house are not, you know, cruel things to do. I fucking hate her.

8:09: Sisters come into the ER, one of them got into an accident, they are 15 and 16 and hate each other. If one dies, I will be sad.

8:11: George is lobbying Yang, and, got to tell you, here is no way he is getting this shit. No Way. Also, we learn Christina spits, poor poor Doctor Journeyman, no one likes a spitter.

8:13; The younger sister says "I hope you die" while they are taking the older one to the CAT scan. Guess what? This is a shitty writing device known as FORESHADOW. The sister either will die, and the 15 year old will blame herself, or she won't die, after a heart to heart. It is Grey's, she will die.

8:14: Yang finds the socially awkward President of the 12 colonies, who is just odd, and grunts and shit. I like her better on Battlestar, a far better show in every way.

8:16: Frak, the speechless girl is apparently a blogger. I can respect that, she probably has a better blog than I do, but, I can talk, and, you know, have something of a life. I am also not a fake character on television.

8:17: Callie and new girl might be flirting. i can't tell with women. I need to find this out. Holly, the older sister of the two girls then begins to crash, and really looks like SHIT. But, McDreamy is there, and, guess what, he'll do her brain surgery, she may live.

Oddly, I have to wonder if this much brain surgery happens from ER visits in a given day. Honestly, McDreamy is constantly slicing into heads, which is fine, but hell, does Seattle have that many brain surgeries?

Little sister screams, as we go to commercial break. Shop at Target.

8:21: McBitchy and my girl Yang have an awkward ass talk, you can tell the Bitch wants this shit, and now, she is trying to talk the younger sister into not feeling guilty about wishing for her older sister to die. Kerev gets a chance to work on the brain, and may have fucked it up. The special effects on this show are great, the brain started to change color, it was weird ass shit.

8:23: Callie and sloan talk about hot interns, and Sloan clearly wants to nail Lexie, hard. I really wish he would do it.

8:25: The girl is brain dead. Apparently, fixed one wound opened up the other, and she is a total goner. The President is insensitive in talking about organ donation, and then, COMMERCIALS!

8:28: Kerev is trying to kiss Yang's ass, and drops the kiss ass routine, and lists what he knows, about that surgery. Yang talks to Dr. Journeyman about it, and he says go with your gut, and makes a really really cute comment to her. Then awkward lesbian stuff. Argh.

8:30: Izzie is having sex with her imaginary Denny, which is just creepy ass odd. i am sorry, until someone else sees this guy, it is fucking bizzare.

8:31: Lexie and Sadie are chatting it up big time, and Sadie tells her Sloan wants her, and, Lexie kind of likes it, and well, I don't know how I like it yet. Then, Miranda and Sloan, work on the new voice.

8:34: The little sister is in denial, and Meredith stands up to Dr. President Rosalyn in a non offensive way. Holly is dead, her little sister is crying, and then, another commercial. Shit.

8:39: Izzie decides to Lobby Yang, so yes, everyone now has. She is talking to Yang about her fake sex with her fake dead fiance, and, yes, she sounds terribly creepy. We still have no clue if the surgery on the voiceless woman worked, but her husband yells at her, and damn, I know I have seen her in other shit before.

8:41: Yang walks to the board, and writes one name on it, and, it is Karev, and Meredith is pissed. Karev goes to find Izzie and gives a really great speech to Izzie, and honestly I feel bad for him for the first time ever, because Izzie is flat out crazy, and he is pouring his heart out to a CRAZY damn woman. She is looking at him like she pitys him, and he asks her to scrub in with him. Then Denny makes a funny about alex.

I really don't know where the storyline is going here. I mean, I understand, give Izzie good material, but she is fucking crazy at this point, and I would love to see her, you know , be in a love triangle with a real boy, rather than this. Frak.

8:49: Back from commercial, and the little sister is still with her brain dead ssiter, and, Meredith, is giving her a really good speech about her sister loving her, I hope she tells lexie that she loves her, because she certainly doesn't act like it....ever.

8:51: McBitchy and McDreamy talk at the board, and the Dreamboat is sick to death about losing the 16 year old, but he does tell McBitchy to talk to Yang.

8:52: lexie and the voiceless woman are talking a bit, and she is happy that it seems to have worked. She can say Hi at least, which was more than Helen Keller (sorry, Karev made one earlier, I feel like I get to make one now).

8:54: Yang and Meredith have it out, and I think Yang may be right here, and then she tells off the group, and, again, she may be right. I mean, Yang did get picked, and right before she breaks down, Journeyman helps out.

8:55: Meredith and Alex have a heart to heart about the surgery, and again, she gives him the pe talk, and izie shows up to scrub in with him, and he calms down right away.

8:56: The Journeyman takes Yang down to the steam room, and she sort of loves the vent a little TOO much. I hate her giggle. It sucks. They kiss.

8:57: Lexie shows up at Sloans place, and walks right in, and starts taking off her clothes, saying "teach me" over and over and over, and sloan goes right after her. Also, I think Lexie might be a little bad. Just a little.

8:59: Meredith voice over, more lesbian awkwardness, flashes of kissing and sex, and we see the older sister get her organs harvested, as Kerev does the first solo surgery, as Izzie sees dead Denny, and Alex makes his first cut.

Then, the show is over, and Lexie and Sloan are totally doing it.

She is Bad.

See you next year.

The Destruction of Grey's

I wonder how smart this show is. I really do. I wonder if it realizes that it has become a crappy parody of itself, and, in that regard, it's "slip in the hospital rankings" is in relation to it's "slip in television ratings." I don't know, and I don't care. This show has gotten away from what it was, and, I think I know part of the problem.

1. Izzie going crazy. I love Izzie, I think she is great, but, I think they should have kicked her bitch ass off the show when she killed Denny (yes folks, she killed the man she loved) but, instead, she got a boat load of cash, started the clinic (which we never see) and got to stay on the show. This is terrible, because, when Denny died, she was a great character, and was emotionally stunning. Hence, her Emmy win. But, with Denny long gone, and nothing for her to do but break up marriages, and go crazy, I can see why she didn't want to be nominated for an Emmy. I like the direction the Izzard is taking, in that, she is showing range again, and I dig her chemistry with a dead guy and Kerev way more than I liked her with George, but still, they need to do more with her. I love Izzie.

2. Meredith not being bitchy. I know, I know, I belabor this point. But this show is at its best when Meredith is completely selfish, unforgiving, drinking a lot, and a whore. Why, because surgeons are selfish focused people who need a release every now and then. They are not happy campers who take in strays like Meredith and McDreamy. They are Yang, they are McSteamy, the are the Journeyman, and I love them for it. I want more McBitchy, and less McNicey.

3. Kerev being nice. He is one of the most complex characters on the show, but, when they have him smile, or be overly nice, it doesn't work. He is a guy who has had a rough life, and letting him be a good surgeon, and a tortured person, is good t.v. and good for Alex. Shit, I hope Izzie kills herself, and Kerev discovers the body, because then, he gets to be tortured more. Case in point here, when he picked up Izzie off of Denny's dead body. AWESOME, he was doing the right thing, and never once smiled. I miss that Kerev.

This show is doing something right, it has got Yang down cold. I love her again, and it is because she is all hot about the Journeyman. That, is awesome shit.

Really, Really awesome.

The Humanity

Man, some sad news to report this week.

First, the Ex-List, has, apparently, been cancelled. I hope this means that Bella Bloome will come back to Seattle Grace and break up Kerev and Izzie, I guess we'll see.

Also, NO MORE Dr. HAHN!

This is even sadder news, because, although I did not like Dr. Hahn and Callie together, I think that Dr. Hahn was a great character, I really did.

Sad all around.

I have been traveling a lot, so, I have not been able to update the blog since last weeks episode, but, not much happened last week, other than Dr. Hahn running around being all pissed that Izzie killed Denny, and, as a result, it looks like she will no longer be working at Seattle Grace.

No real developments between McBitchy and McDreamy, although I am hopeful that she will cheat on him, and that could be good.

The Journeyman is still awesome, and I want him on every week.

Hopefully something goood this week, I probably will not get to posting on it till Sunday or Monday!

Oh, on a personal note, McWife saw the New Kids on the Block last night, so, my sleep was interrupted by "Please don't go girl."

Honestly.

The Narration does Kill me.

Ok, let me tell you, the opening and closing narration is horrible, I just hate her voice, it bothers me.

What did we learn tonight?Meredith plays with toys, and is a selfish child. Meanwhile, Kerev is an ass after Izzie sex, and I do not like Callie and Hahn, not one bit at all. She is Meredith needy, and, Callie is just experimenting, so, she is going to break her heart. I can just tell. But, it's good to know Hahn is gay, and really really needy. I mean, Callie is banging Sloan pretty quickly afterward, maybe she is bi, it just seems awful. By the way, when I say meredith needy, I mean needy in the sense that she is about to cut a girl open, and is way way too focused on the Chief liking her. See, needy.

I like the Journeyman returning, although, the senseless slaughter of pigs, that seemed awful. Good thing they ran that clip, letting us know they were fake, or, at least, fake enough. It was interesting that Izzie was in no way interested, and, I wonder how competitve being a surgeon is, cause, wanting to slaughter pigs, that seems odd. He has a great chemistry with Yang, really really great, andI am glad they are giving her someone strong to flirt with.

The surgeries on this show just dont entertain me. let's be honest, this show is Chicago Hope, with a bitchy lead, and well, the surgeries on that show, were way way more entertaining. I also don't see any growth this year, at all, with this show. Izzie is going nowhere, McBitchy is still a bitch, kerev's a whore, George is awkward, and no way does taking out every organ in a girl ever work.

Ever.


sigh

Best line of the night "I don't reject you George" Who said it? Meredith. It's the best line of the night, because, guess why, she did reject him. HORRIBLY. It was awful. She had sad sex with him, and booted his ass.

The Catch up of the Ex List!

This is the BIG catch up.

Ok, two episodes, one post, we will try.

This begins the morning of Day 12, with Bella on the Beach, going home, getting Robbed, and running into Ronnie the Cop. 353 days till she is single forever. Guess what, in the past, Ronnie was a pot head, and Stella in high school is a LOT prettier than Stella now. I want to know who plays this chick, way way cuter in the past.

Side note, I have seen pictures of McWife in the past, and she was cute, but is way hotter now. Isn't it odd how some of us get better looking, like me and McWife, and others do not. Oh, Ronnie makes a comment about her looking 16 today, NOT true, way cuter in the past.

The same day, Bella goes stalking cop hang outs, and her sister makes a really funny comment about sausage. Then, she sits and stares at her phone for along time, to not call. By this point, I am confident in saying this is the next day, because they are BACK on the beach, and wearing different swim suits. 13 days down, 352 to go! Later that night, the cop calls, and Bella sneaks out to see him, just like old times. They go to dinner, and make out.

The next morning, that is 14 days down, 351 to go, Bella is back at work, wanting to nail Ronnie, I am hopeful she won't sleep with him. Lots of crappy stuff goes on that day, and, that night, they end up in an airplane hanger. She sleeps over, and is sneaking home the next morning, which, guess what? Means we have 15 days down, and 350 to go. (No word on the Sex). But, I am noticting that they are being clever about not disclosing too many days to us. Ronnie pulls his badge out too much, and, Bella doesn't like him abusing power to help her. DUMB.

The next morning, 16 days down, 349 to go, Bella is happy she broke up with the Cop, and so is her dad, she is wearing a yellow tank (important to see if the next ep begins on the same day)

NEW EP!, they are back on the beach, so, they get the benefit of the doubt that its the same day, just evening surf, not morning surf. Anyway, Bella sees Shane, a guy she met in Mexico, who is a surfer dude, and who sucks. In what I am calling the LONGEST day ever, because I get no sense of night at all, Bella runs back into surfer dude, who is not over being stranded in Mexico.

Somehow, all of these bastards never work, go to bars, and never ever ever do anthing responsible. Its awful. They go out all the time, never work. But, as it turns out, the Surfer dude, is all a marketing act, which makes him much much more interesting.

I am calling a next day, because this one has gone on way too long. 17 down, 348 to go!
Bella and surfer dude are at some party together, and he is trying to be somewhat sensitive to her. The next morning, they are out surfing, no word on if the actually had sex, but, they seem to have spent the night together. So, we are now at 18 down, 347 to go.

Shane and Bella surf all day, and for that, she really is getting to know his softer side. I am kind of pulling for this guy, and, if the show doesn't get a full season, I think he should be the one. Anyway, awkwardness happens that day, because Bella is only concered with herself. Anyway, we get to see her friends in bed that night, so, the next morning is 19 down, 346 to go.

That ends it! All caught up!

The Guy That Works Out WAY too much.

God, so, this guy, Jake Turner, has a lot of issues. i will say, he clearly was getting to hit a hot Bella back in grad school, when she had the fun hair, and a clothing taste that I completely admire. Also, in grad school, she apparently liked to go to concerts, and go out and party, and dressed super awesome. I would have liked Bella Bloom in grad school, hell, that skirt she had on killed.

But, overall, Bella is an unlikeable adult, pretty much. I mean, her friends seem cool, which is now the oddest development in television, the fact that you cast a main character, who, all in all, is not that great person, but have fun friends that are clearly more entertaining than she is. (See Grey's Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer, hell, even look back at Joan of Arcadia).

The most entertaning part of this episode was, of course, the googling of exes, which, not only does EVERYONE do, but with the advent of facebook, is even easier now. So, good for the show for having writers that at least are up with the times, now, they just need to make their lead character, more likeable.

The last episode ended with Day 6, with 359 days to go before she ain't getting married, ever.

Because this episode begins in the morning, and, after she had decided to keep high school boy's cat, and knew he was out of town, we will, for argument's sake, say this episode begins on Day 7.

So, on Day 7, she goes to see the race, and have brunch with her friends, misses her sister's odd aerobics class, and, good old Jake creeps on by the flower shop. I cannot get a read on whether they did the mountain bike date on this day, or the next day. But given the mountain bike timing, and the fact that it is still light out, the whole time they are gone (remember, Bella's already had a long day 7) I have to think that Mountain Bike date was on the next morning.

On Day 8, this is Mountain Bike date, and we start by getting a great Brave and the Bold, comic book reference, and Jake is way way way too touchy with Bella. God, it is odd. But, after the bike ride, they go to the beach for the co worker beach date, Bella comes home and catches her sister about ready to bang her fiance, and they make a ridiculous "no sex till marriage" pledge. (Waiting for your wedding day is fine, and commendable, however, when you do it all the time, stopping, is just dumb). The day ends with Jake and Bella agreeing to "get together tomorrow" before work.

On the morning of Day 9, they are kayaking, and Jake is totally into his own shit. Bella goes rock climbing with him mid day, and makes plans for that same night. SERIOUSLY, Bella, don't make same day plans. It is too desperate, and, you JUST reconnected with this guy 2 days ago, when he threw shit at you. Honestly, it is ok to stay at home at night, and not be doing stuff with him all the time. Bella and Jake go to a bar, play trivia, and have sex. She has now had sex with two different guys in the same week, while trying to find her high school boyfriend, whose cat she has. Bella, is a bit easy, and to quote her sister, is a bit of a tramp.

Then, day 10 comes around, and Bella is unsure as to how she going to proceed. The two go and rock climb some more, blah blah blah, he shows up at work, gets one more chance, which I guess is the same night (odd planning). AND internal inconsistency, earlier, Jake said trivia was once a week, now, it is every night. Jake tells of his ex, which is his boss, and Bella freaks..

Bella is outside with all her friends, on the 11th day (no one is working today, it must be a weekend), and, that night, Bella is checking out the list, which, has to mean, that the next episode will start on the morning of day 12, which means 353 more days, until Bella Bloom is forever alone.

I just don't know where they are going.

I am trying to figure out what message this show is trying to send with the flooding analogy. First off, I don't get it. I just don't get what dramatic theme was kicking around the writer's room, when someone said "What if the place flooded, on the second floor, and as a result, someone found pancreatic cancer super early?"

Dumb luck?

Who knows. What we did learn this week was that McBitchy is STILL freaking out about living with McDreamy. And, here is my issue, she went up on the cliff, and did the candles thing, so that Derek would know she was serious, yet, it somehow seems odd to her that Derek wants to JUST live with her, and not everyone else. Sad.

Also, I am not digging the needy Izzie. First off, living with Kerev? The way he has been acting lately, seems to come out of nowhere. I know they are trying to get the season moving fast, but, this seemed very heavy handed and forced, and, I mean, we still don't have a real resolution to George and Izzie. They are no longer together, because it was awkward and strange, but, will they talk about it? Are they just never mentioning it again? What the hell?

Lexie, my favorite sexy intern was, as McSteamy said this week, quite pathetic. I mean, god, just tell George you think his dopey face is awesome, and get over it. George is a huge whore like Meredith, he will bang you.

For those George defenders out there, remember, he's had McBitchy (who hasn't at this point?), he's had Izzie, he's had Callie, and he's had Nurse Olivia. George is a Meredith level whore, and the fact that Lexie, as cute as she is, would even have to try to bed him, who, bizzare.

Finally, the Chief was off this week too. I know he's freaking the fuck out about his hospital dropping (i.e. PLUMETTING) in the ranks, but not even listening to our sage of all things Dr. Bailey, just is dumb.

Dr. Bailey is always right, just LISTEN to her.

Sigh.

Meredith was crazy this week, but not bitchy. That sucks, I want her drunk, bitchy, and sleeping around, that's the Meredith Grey I love.

We LOVE the EX LIST!

God, we have found a show with a lead character who may be as selfish, and whoreish, as McBitchy herself, Meredith Grey.

God, Bella Bloom? Her of being a crazy to Alex on Grey's fame, is the lead here, and, well, she is nutty and fun, so, she could be our new meredith.

"You Need to Marry WITHIN THE YEAR or you'll spend the rest of your life alone"

While I dig vapid selfishness, I don't see this show lasting, why? The above quote.

So, while I will comment on this show, every week, we have to follow the timeline, just for fun.

Day 1: Bella meets the Psychic, so, she has to be MARRIED within a year, and has only 364 days to actually get hitched.

Day 2: Bella goes back to the Psychic, sees the ad for Johnny Freaking Diamont, and begins her hunt, that night, she hears BITCH, a great song.

Day 3: We hear about Bella's horrible mole, and, like Meredith Grey, she freaks out over nothing. (side note, McWife commented that it could cancer, and, sadly, that is completely overlooked, could have been a good educational moment).

Day 4: Johnny and Bella the Whore wake up in bed together, and Johnny begins to go a little nuts. Presumably, the same day (we will give the show the benefit of the doubt here) she has the fight with him when he is trying to leave for rehearsal. We will also assume that the same night, they are in the bath tub together.

Day 5: They wake up, in bed together, at Bella's house, that night, she hears that Revenge is stronger than love, and that she will DIE ALONE.

Day 6: Bella is talking to her sister, at the house, and, there you go, one episode down, and she only has 359 days to convince one of her ex's to marry her, and apparently, some guy from high school is the next big step!

I mean, I love the big fuck you song at the end, and I really want to buy it on itunes, very very badly.

I don't even know you.....so?

Well, with that, the brand new season of the best show on television started, and, while she was a little neurotic throughout the show, Meredith was, sadly, not much of a bitch. Sigh.

First off, I think that the show is making a bold and smart choice by having the focus for the season seemingly be one getting the hospital better again, and making everyone better surgeons. I think such a story arc will be fascinating, as, I feel that it will show more stress, more drama, and lead to more instances of Meredith being a total bitch.

I also liked every one's favorite Chief, Richard, last night, in that he showed not only range as an actor, but was a patient teacher to Callie McBisexual, and placed trust in his doctor's. Great leadership, and great teaching skills, all in all, good guy.

Speaking of good guys, I agree with what Izzie said, that McDreamy is a good guy. I also agree with what Chang said, that Meredith and McDreamy will never make it. She is still fundamentally selfish, and fragile, while McDreamy is a great guy, smart, confident, accomplished, and he is taking her on, essentially, as s project.

Look at her problem committing to moving in together. Is moving together a big deal? Yes, of course it is, when McWife and I moved in together, it was a huge deal. But, honestly, we made the decision and stuck with it, and certainly didn't have wack job discussions with it, going back and forth, with all of our co workers. Hell, if we had, I would hope one of them would have acted like Chang, and said, "You two don't have a chance in hell."

Having said that we had some more good last night. George was not annoying, which is nice. Lexie was a tad bit annoying, but still adorable, so, we forgive her as best we can. Kerev was Kerev. I mean, Meredith did stick her nose in it, and Izzie got burned because of it, but, Kerev does not open up, and, when he did, it hurt him. He's a complex guy, and is great character actor, and, well, I almost lost it when Izzie came home, and he was with some random topless chick.

Nurse Rose was a bit of a wack job last night. First off, she cut McDreamy, which was not good, and ultimately, allowed them a way to get rid of her. However, she exhibited some characteristics of bat shit crazy that she just had never shown before. This proves that all women are bat shit crazy when pushed to a certain extent, and, well, Rose had enough. I will miss her, and she seems to be going the way of Nurse Olivia, and leaving us behind.

However, this blog would not be complete without mention of the JOURNEYMAN, Major Doctor, who showed up, got Chang all hot and bothered, suggested some great doctor stuff, and was a huge ass. He was great, and, while I did love journeyman last year, I was pleased with Kevin McKidd's performance, and I hope that he gets made a series regular.

Long and short of it? The two hours drug a little long last night. I feel like it was a strong start to the season, and, while I am sad to lose Nurse Rose, and her craziness, I still hope that Meredith and her bitchiness stays around.

Candles in a Field.

I have to say, I am sorry it took me so long to get back to this, and so long to post about the Grey's Finale. Life gets busy, the wedding was fun, and I really meant to keep coming back.

The season final of Grey's Anatomy was nothing short of sensational, and, in that regard, it took me a week of retrospect to truly be able to write about it.

I feel like the best performance went to, without question, Kerev. He was a rock, he was soft, he was Kerev, and he was stunning. In the end, when Izzie was going to give him what he wanted, she ended up giving him what he needed, just someone to cry to, not simply for his child or crazy gf, but for his mother, and, Izzie was there. Fantastic.

Next up, Dr. Bailey, she was superb, per usual, and every damn thing she did, especially her many, MANY star wars references were great. Just great.

Yang too was awesome, but, I digress, as there was good plot movement, that must be discussed.

I am glad we are over George and Izzie, I do not like them together, and am glad that Izzie will now have something genuinely complicated with Kerev, and that Sexy Lexie will have to explore what is clearly the huge crush she has on George. GEORGE by the way, may Join Kerev, McDreamy and McSteamy cast member status and bed three girls on the show, in Meredith, Izzie, and now possibly Lexie. That would be nice.

The Dr. Hahn and Callie stuff really snuck up on me, while I suspected Dr. Hahn for quite some time, Callie's apparent woman love caught me off guard, and could be a nice pup to Dr. Hahn's clear butch tendency. I really cannot wait to see that play out.

Finally, it looks as if Nurse Rose and McDreamy is done. That may not be so bad. Meredith, while a bit selfish when it came to putting live viruses into the brains of others, was genuinely missing her McDreamboat, and took affirmative, non bitchy steps to get him. Make no mistake, she is still a raging bitch, and I hate her, but the revelations about her mother were astounding, and she played it perfectly. Her showing up on the lot with all those candles was inspired, and fun to watch.

McDreamy, however, was the real class act, and I am starting to think that he has a clause in his contract that requires he always look like the best guy out there, because, before he could get back with Meredith, he had to leave, talk to Rose, and end it with her, because, it was the right thing to do.

All in all, I know this is less snarky then normal, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. For the summer, expect Big Brother updates, the return of the Mole, POSSIBLE Swington discussions, and, of course, a wait for more Grey's.

Have A bitchin summer everyone.

The Strike is OVER, it's time to LIVE BLOG!

Good evening friends, as some of you know, McFiance and I get married in 9 short days. So, while you all go and try to find good presents for us, I present to you the first Grey's Blog since the strike started, and the last one for at least a few weeks.

When we last left the good people of Grey's, McBitchy was all pissed that McDreamy liked the nurse (I really don't remember her name, let's pray they keep her though, because honestly, I love any women characters that Meredith Grey hates). Speaking of, Sexy Lexie was upset too, but we feel bad for her because she had to watch after Meredith's dad be all drunk and crazy while Meredith was a drunken whore in college.

Alright, here we go:

8:00 p.m: A recap, and, guess what, it sucks ass and is not NEAR as funny as mine was. Not near. Oh, btw, this ep is entitled "Where The Wild Things Are". I think the asnwer to that is Meredith's dorm room in college, I could be wrong.

8:04: Eric Dane and McDreamy are talking about the fact that the Nurse, who apparently has a bit of class, because she doesn't randomly sleep with boys, like, say, McBitchy, and who anticipation is better than sex. (I disagree, but, I like that the Nurse isn't a whore).

8:07: We learn that competition is an orgasm for Izzie, nice.

8:08: A really banged up car, which apparently was attacked by Mountain Cougars shows up, shit, entrails are falling out. And we get the best quote of the night, so far "intestines in the hands"

During the commercial break we learn that will smith has a new movie coming out, which, sadly, is not a big screen adaption of Fresh Prince. Sad, no work for Carlton that isn't Celebrity Fit Club.

8:11: BEARS! It was a damn bear cub and his mother, SHIT. Nasty shit. I can tell you what, I just saw MY brother last week, I am glad no BEARS were involved.

8:12: Izzie has a shit patient, which may be Cheech, I am not sure.

8:13: SEXY LEXIE, who, I love, is hanging out with George, and apparently Izzie and George are still having problems. I wish they would find more for her to do than pine after kerev.

8:15: NEWLYWEDS, awwww nice, although the 10 day thing does seem a bit odd, and he was smooth, "I'll miss you while you're gone". Nice, very very nice. This chick is cute, she should not be so insecure, and yes she does look crazy, and YES that's her skull cut off!

Commercials, Iron Man comes up, man, I think ABC must own stock in Super Hero flicks, someone, look this up for me.

8: 21: Meredith gives Derek some NASTY ass looks, NASTY ass, and McSteamy is apparently Pro Meredith. I don't think this is very real, guys would not do this with each other, not at all. They support current girl more than past girl, but since this show is written by a woman, I will forgive the unguy like acting.

8:23: Cheech is freaking out on Izzie, totally, because she is trying to score points in some odd former intern game that does not involve sleeping with each other, so, in some regards, that's ok, but, I don't get Izzie with Cheech.

8:24: Meredith is STARTING TO FREAK OUT. She is comparing the guy who attacked the bear who married his rebound girl to McDreamy, and she is being bitchy about it. Apparently she doesn't need a reason to talk to Derek even though, clearly, she does.

8:29: The Nurse is quite nice and being very very flirty with Lexie, claims she loves Derek, and Meredith overhears. Lexie tries to be a bit funny with Meredith, who, of course, yells at her to stop stealing things.

8:31: The CHIEF of medicine is endorsing this POINTS game that DOES NOT help patients. I never, EVER, EVER want to be at a learning hospital.

8:33: Cheech is still fucked up, and damn if izzie isn't being a wack job about it, wow, this girl, NUTS, and he is getting a SPINAL TAP, this is nuts, I mean god, if i get an ankle sprain and I get a spinal tap I would be super pissed. Also, I would hope my insurance would cover it.

8:35: Before yet ANOTHER commerical break, meredith figures the bear guy who married his mid life crisis may have a tumor, I may be angry if she is right, I don't know yet.

Recap: A guy marries a woman he knew for 10 days, the two of them go to the woods with his brother, and he decides to act out of character, and touch a bear cub, his brother, gets his guts evicerated. He also starts writing really small, SO McBitchy decides TUMOR, because she is hoping that the Tumor is what is wrong with Derek cause he is diggin on the NURSE. She may be right. Also, Speed Racer looks amazing.

8:40: I like the trashy waitress, I hate Meredith Grey, and I am praying for no tumor.

8:43: Izzie is still trying to find stuff wrong with the ankle guy, and George and her still have no chemistry, and George, I don't know, I am losing him, he isn't that fun any more.

8:44: Brain TUMOR IS CONFIRMED! That really sucks, super sucky.

8:45: The bear brother dies, which is super super sad. His brother, with the tumor, is pretty self loathing about the whole situation.

8:52: After a 7 minute commercial, Meredith tells the trashy waitress that she doesn't know if she is a sympton of a tumor. I MEAN, COME ON. An emotionally distraught woman, comes to a doctor, and asks "does my husband love me, or is this the tumor?" Her response, "I don't know".

8:54: I LOVE THE SPARKLE PAGER, wow, what a great idea, and, shit, I can't wait to see this Bitch abuse this power. WOW, just wow.

8:55: ROSE! We get her name, finally, I forgot it, and it is Nurse Rose. McSteamy also wants some more Manpanion time with McDreamy. Bro's over ho's, bro's over ho's.

9:00: Also, a pretty pretty crappy ending, because, I mean, I kind of think that Lexi and George might hook up, in a roach house. It is very strange, but I don't know, it is very strange. Also, Meredith is quite quite quite freaky around Derek, after she sees him kissing up on Rose.

Off to final wedding planning, see you all in a few weeks!

An Update - Of Sorts

I am sorry.

All 4 of you that read this, I am very sorry.

I have been neglecting my blogging, in a horrible way. The strike is over, Big Brother 9 is almost over (go Ryan!) and sadly, I have not been blogging at all.

We have new BSG, new Office, new scrubs. All of these are amazing things, amazing things that I should be blogging about, but, I am not.

I am not because I am preparing to wed McFiance (14 days, whoa). So, I will try my best to blog between now and then, and, I promise you, that next week, when McBitchy herself, Meredith Grey returns to us, I will be blogging.

Oh yes, I will be blogging.

Eli STONED

Well, as you all know, the writer's strike continues to rear its ugly head, and, because of this, I have very little in new shows to watch, and, besides a winter edition of big brother coming up, and the impending beginning to the final season of Battlestar Galactica, I have nothing to watch.

Then, I got Faith.

I really enjoyed the premiere of Eli Stone, possibly because I've seen its premise before, but, still, I like it. Very much like Joan of Arcadia, Eli gets visions. In Joan, they were much more deliberately God, but here, they are still good, in that they, apparently, will be directing Eli to take cases that need help.

McFiance forwarded me an email about this pilot, prior to its airing about Autism, and its causes, and how this show might be less than forthcoming about those causes. I don't really care about the autism controversy surrounding this episode. Not because I don't care about autism, I do, its tragic and effects far too many children, but because this episode, while light on science, was good on spirit, and I like that.

I wonder if it was deliberately light on science, in that, they just didn't care as much, because it is a show, in its own words, that is about Faith.

George Michael played himself in the vision scenes, and from what I can gather online, will have many, many cameos, which is fun, I think, but could grow old.

It is also interesting that Eli's dad, played in flashbacks by Ed's Tom Cavanagh, which, by the way, is my 6th favorite show of all time, and a show I want on DVD badly, also had visions, and also had the same apparent cause, the as yet to burst aneurysm in Eli's brain. So, the show is set up, Victor Garber is great, as is Cavanagh, and, we know that Eli will be struggling with his visions, and struggling with a blood vessel so deep it can't be operated on, but, so tricky it could kill him at any second.

As we move forward, I have no doubt we will be challenged by what sorts of visions Eli is having, who is behind them, and, how many times we can hear "Faith" and not get annoyed.

All in All, a great pilot, and a good pick me up from the doldrums of the strike.

Next week I will be late in my post, but, what else is new?

Are you a rockstar? Always

Well, the writers strike has been long and incredibly difficult for me. You see, I have a t.v. problem. I have a dvr, I watch or record a good 20 hours of shows a week, and, in the absence of t.v. I have had to spend my time being super romantic to McFiance, and actually doing a lot of wedding planning.

Last night, as I was finding the perfect song to be our "first dance" (which, btw, she loved), I was perusing through my usually empty list of things to be recorded, and there, staring me in the face was "Grey's Anatomy".

Thank God.

Ok, well, to begin, Meredith started out the night classy, and ended it the selfish nut job we know and love. I was impressed with her cooking breakfast for sexy lexie. She was nice, trying to be supportive, and over all, it was a nice sister moment. However, the moment McDreamy turned on the "how about this for OUR house" talk, she went nuts, and the downward spiral went down, down, down.

It is tough to really fault McDreamy for not telling McBitchy about the kiss. First off, she was clear, they could date other people. He, feeling attracted to The Nurse, kissed her. The woman he wanted to be with the whole time comes to him, and says "I don't want you dating other people". So, he gets serious about her, and, does the right thing and tells The Nurse that it has to stay just a kiss. The Nurse, by the way, was totally classy about it.

When McBitchy finds out about it, she thinks all the serious talk was simply because McDreamy wanted to settle down, and not settle down with her, and so she tells him she's out because he just lies to her all the time.

Sigh

This girl has a lot of Daddy issues that she constantly transposes on all men in her life.

Dear Meredith,

Derek's wife had cheated on him. He came to Seattle Grace, and, fell in love with you. He didn't know how to tell you he was married, but, to be fair, he never lied to you about it. When you pushed him away, repeatedly, he found a nurse to like, and, when you told him you wanted him, he dropped her like a bad habit.

He's one of the good guys, get over yourself, and stop trying to kill your sister by feeding her food she's allergic to.

Sincerely,
McSnarky.

In other news on the show, WHOA BAILEY. I love Dr. Bailey, my love for her really knows no bounds, and last night, she is just having the WORST time ever. Her husband needs more home time, which is understandable, her son almost dies, which is scary as all hell, and she gets kicked out of the O.R. DAMN. We love Miranda.

Kerev and Lexie continue to have great chemistry, they'll be hitting it again soon.

George and Izzie continue to have zero chemistry, yet, they are not being broken up.

Chang is a robot, and I love her.

Dr. Hahn was also great last night, and, really, she handled Bailey better than anyone ever.

That's your update, and, from what I can find, this was the last episode filmed before the strike.

Eli Stone is coming in three weeks, I will, most likely, be watching it.
