  • Come on McDreamy...grow up

    "Great"
    By adamactr, Dec 25, 2010 Report Abuse
    Well when McDreamy found Grey with Robin, he was not that happy. Honestly...what gives him the right. He cheats on his wife with her, and then goes back to her. Grey finds herself a super hero (Robin) and he goes nuts. Not happy with that plot and character development. Anyhow, I am happy to see that people are starting to work and play well together. Greys is not really giving me much insentive to stay tunned to the seaoson finale. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the show, but if it is going to be all about the fall out of Grey and McDreamy, I am going to tune out.moreless

  • Very emotional episode.

    "Superb"
    By nikkibaudelaire, Sep 07, 2010 Report Abuse
    This was one of the most emotional episodes of this show. Both the medical stories and the personal storylines of the characters were extremely moving. Initially it seemed like everyone would survive the car crash, but things soon got complicated. Alex really stepped up to the plate, it was nice to see him finally proving himself to Addison. The scene between the father and the intern who caused the crash was just gut-wrenching.
    Derek acted horribly towards Meredith, so it was nice to see her finally putting him in his place. That was a really great monologue. Although it's completely obvious why Derek is acting this way: He's totally in love with her and sooooo jealous!
    And I really love Denny, but no good can come out of that.moreless

    This episode is really moving. It reveals the life of the internts, how hard it is to live under those long hours. They show that is something that happens to all of the inters, they fall asleep in the weirdst places because of their exaushtion. In this episode we also se the relationship of Meredith and Derek deteriorating. She tells him that he doesn't get to judge for how she chooses to repair what he broke down. The episode also revels o bit of the life of Burke and Yang both addicts to surgery. And we hear a bit of the life story of Finnmoreless

  • Hard to watch between Mer and Derek

    By starrysky225, Sep 07, 2010 Report Abuse
    WOW- i cannot believe that for the first time i've been mad at Derek Shepherd! He just said horrible horrible things to Meredith. He had no right to talk to her like that, he can be somewhat upset because it's only human, but he in no way can say all that to her. Like she said, he's the one that left her, he chose addison, she had to move on, it was her choice how she repaired what he broke. Between him punching mark and now his jealousy over this, it's so clear that he just loves Meredith. Addison was right, the only two people who don't see that Derek loves Meredith is Derek and Meredith.moreless

    • Callie: I washed my hands. I went down to the kitchen and washed my hands. I didn't wash them in the bathroom because those girls were staring at me like I was a rodent or something. Like I was in high school having the naked dream only it was actually happening. I didn't even know they were home. I washed my hands. You have to stand up for me. You have to say I washed my hands. George: I'm sorry. Edit
    • Addison: Karev, where are you going? Alex: What? She's in ICU. There's nothing I can do. Addison: You can sit there with her and watch that fetal monitor. Alex: You can't be serious, she's circling the drain. Addison: You know how long a baby can survive inside its dead mother? 4 to 5 minutes! Minutes not seconds Karev. Look at Melanie. Look at her. (Alex looks through the window) Now look around her, see all the doctors and nurses, even her parents? Their soul job is to take care of Melanie. My job is to care for that baby! Now I've got a surgery schedule so when I step foot on that elevator and leave, you are going to be the only person on this entire floor responsible for that baby! Do not let me down Karev. Edit
    • (talking about Jim, Betty, Noah and Melanie) Bailey: It's a hill-billy picnic. Edit
