    9.0
    Like all of season 9, I was waiting for the boom to come down. Another fantabulous cliff hanger that had me walking to n fro in my home at the end with, years of anger and shock. This show could EASILY GO ON FOR ANOTHER 5 seasons without one moment of writer's block!!! It is one of THEE GREATEST SERIES OF ALL TIMES!! It CAN NOT EVER BE DUPLICATED!! Now each episode has kind of lost its excitement knowing this season is its last. I'm disappointed and HORRIFIED at the thought off its ending. The writers are now having writers block because they don't know how to end it with so much more to say and do!!! The Actors are amongst the most a amazingly talented, refined, and true to life actors ever known. Each one is so passionate about their character that each one deserves a star on the wall of FAME and, an Oscar!!

    How can anyone pick a favorite episode?? I'll let you know more of what I think of episodes around season 12 or so. pleas pleas DON'T MAKE US SAT GOOD-BYE!

  • Everyone together to buy a hospital!

    8.0
    This couple of episodes, (and I know about the next one too) are all about saving the hospital. The secondary plot is just cases of not so important patients. That's what it's look like, though. Hunt is desperate to sell Seattle Grace to Pegasus and the rest of the team - with no clue at all - trying to figure something out to buy the hospital. Overall, the episode was enough to entertain my wife and myself.moreless
  • Grey's Anatomy: has it lost it's spark or is it just temporarily?

    7.5
    Has Grey's Anatom lost it's spark or is it just temporarily? I hope it's just temporarily! I love Grey's Anatomy! I really do. But, lately I feel that Grey's Anatomy has lost it's spark. It's only about the plane crash, the changes of the hospital (is it going to be sold?) and Derek, Meredith, Callie, Arizona, Christina talking about their money and now buying the hospital? It's getting boring. Just wrap the storyline and get on with it! The writers need to make drastic changes, more interesting storylines because this is not working for me. It's has to go back like the earlier seasons. Anyway, I hope Christina and Owen will last, will they after she quit Seattle Grace? Owen's face when they all quit. I do look forward to next week episode.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (0)

  • QUOTES (6)

    • Stan: Do you know what you'd like to call yourselves?
      Cristina: How about "The Bitter Pills"?
      Arizona: "Epic Failure"?
      Meredith: "Death Spiral"?
      Derek: "Blind leading the blind, incorporated"?
      Stan: It could be anything. Let's keep thinking.

    • Meredith: (closing voiceover) They say that negotiation is an art form. Yet, when we negotiate, we have a strategy, we use tactics. Strategies and tactics aren't words we use for seeking a compromise. Those are words for going to war.

    • Heather: Some of us are talking about looking elsewhere.
      Cristina: Why?
      Stephanie: Last year, Seattle Grace was the residency match you dreamed of getting. The last few weeks, it feels like automotive trade school.
      Cristina: God. Where is your sense of loyalty? There are people here fighting to make sure this hospital stays open at all. And at the first sign of trouble, you show them your ass?
      Heather: No. No, it's just that--
      Stephanie: I'm sorry. I only have five years to get as good at this as I possibly can. And I want to be excellent. I want to be the best, so I can't waste another minute. I mean, would you have when you were an intern? Honestly?

    • Derek: Well, we have an opportunity right now to do something about it. And maybe we have a responsibility to do that--
      Arizona: Oh, don't try and make me feel selfish. Don't try and make me feel guilty just because you do.
      Derek: Who said I felt guilty?
      Arizona: I think-I think you feel guilty but that's not... it's not
      Derek: No, no, no, no, no. Let's go ahead. Tell me.
      Arizona: Some of us died. And some of us are gonna live with challenges for the rest of their life. And you, you got the money. And then you got your hand back and you got your career back, and I think that you feel guilty. I think you feel guilty about your decision to sue and I-I think that you feel guilty about having all this money. And now I think that you want to be the one that comes in and saves everyone, and you have to be the hero. And it's selfish and it's egomaniacal, and now it's affecting my family. So just stop. Okay? Everything that you've done to make it better has actually made it worse. So please stop.

    • Arizona: (about buying the hospital) I don't think that it's right to spend all of our money.
      Callie: It is an investment.
      Arizona: Of all of our money, Callie. If your parents had ever made you have a summer job you might understand.
      Callie: Oh, come on. That is so unfair.
      Arizona: No, you are ready to bankrupt us.
      Callie: You're ready to let Pegasus Horizons turn us into a bunch of robots.
      Arizona: You are ready to sink $50 million into maintaining a good vibe.
      Meredith: So what's the alternative, we leave?
      Callie: No, I don't want to leave. This hospital is not something that we lucked into. This is something that we made. And Webber hired us, and he set a tone. Hunt sets a tone, and it's something I am proud to be a part of, and it's worth fighting for.

    • Meredith: (opening voiceover) They say there's one sure sign of a successful negotiation. It's that when the parties leave the table. They both feel like they've been screwed. The goal is a compromise, a situation where everybody wins.
