    Okay, I really don't like the idea that Mark has a teenage daughter. If she was a kid, I could deal with it, but for God's sake, she's, like, 7 years younger than Lexie. And plus, she's pregnant. Mark can't be a grandpa, he's was too young! Imagine if you had a grandma who was 25 years older than you. Geez! I hope the girl turns out not to be his daughter. I'm also really mad that we have to wait till January for a new episode, but at least it'll be a crossover. I can't wait to see Addison coming. I hope Izzie returns too.

    Not a horrible episode, but not so amazing either.moreless

    I was anticipating this episode so much. I loved the previous christmas episodes of Grey's but this was just a train wreck. I mean there were multiple things that I did not like. 1. Way too early for a Xmas/new years eppy.

    2. Moved way too fast. Felt totally rushed.

    3. Way too confusing.

    4. Sloan has a daughter? It felt totally rushed and just didn't feel right.

    5. Meredith and Cheif - um what were they doing. completely confused. I just absolutely hated this episode. They rushed it skipping like 2 months and 3 holidays in and it was in my opinion the worst episode of grey's ever. And I am a true true Grey's fanmoreless

    Sorry, but I did not enjoy this episode. Cramming three holidays into one episode, and airing a Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year's episode on November 19 seemed to be disorienting. Sloan's daughter came out of nowhere, and this seems to be a storyline without any antecedent - it just seemed forced and unbelievable. Alex seemed to have been put on the back burner this episode. Couldn't we have seen how he dealt with the holidays with Izzie gone? (Speaking of which, I did not miss Katherine Heigl - give her her walking papers once and for all. Good riddance!) Grey's, for the most part, has been pretty good this season. Let's hope this lousy episode was just a minor bump in what has been a good season, so far.moreless

    Grey's Anatomy has gotten to a good place. After a few minor setbacks and a few cast tweaks, we finally have the show that can be TV's most watched scripted program once again. This group of actors is elite, is talented (barring a few noteworthy exceptions) and is a special group so this is really a good time to be a fan of the show.

    This was a holiday episode, but a rather serious one and for all the hate I have spewed on showrunner Shonda Rhimes over the years, a very well done episode to boot. We have some good storylines progressing toward the future and despite being predictable in nature, should turn out to be good this season.

    But come on, the show's attempts to hide Ellen Pompeo's pregnancy are pathetic. Just write it into the show.moreless

  • Holidays episode..

    It's that time of the year, where episodes revolve around thanksgiving, turkeys, Christmas trees and carols. This episode of Grey's did its usual bit in capturing the excitement and happiness surrounding the holiday season.

    Its thanksgiving time, and Sloan gets a surprise visit from a hot 18 year old who happens to be his daughter. On an opposite note, Bailey's father visits and is shocked to see how much she put her work in front of her family. The docs deals with two medical cases this time, one involves a woman who is waiting for a heart, and the other is about a kid who requires some complex surgery using equipments that needs money and Sloan's effort. Chief's drinking problem continues, and Meredith should step up to help him.

    Good episode.moreless

    • Mark(comes in with Sloan, while Arizona, Callie, and Lexie are preparing their Thanksgiving feast, with Lexie chopping the celery) Hey, everybody... uh, well the results are in, it turns out Sloan was right about her parentage, I am her dad. Uhm heres another thing to be... thankful for, Lexie, Sloan here is gonna move in with us for a little while. (slice sound and we see that Lexie accidentally cut off half of her pinky) Callie: Oh, my God! Arizona: Oh! Lexie: Ouch. Edit
    • William: I tucked you in every night of your childhood. Bailey: Dad... William: I tucked you in, and kissed you good night and I checked under the bed for bad guys. And you went and grew up and got yourself a divorce and didn't bother to tell me. Bailey: Dad, I-- I didn't know how to explain. I didn't want to disappoint you. I didn't want to be judged. William: I'm your father. Can you imagine if Little Tuck grew up and got a divorce and didn't tell you? Bailey (nods, and looks down): Then I'm sorry, Dad. I'm... I'm so sorry. William: I'm never judging you. I'm worrying about you. Your mother and I worry about you. That's all. Edit
    • Cristina: I'm insensitive sometimes. Uhm, but I'm not oblivious. And I don't want you to be with me because you feel like you owe me something. Because you two went through war-- (Owen kisses her hard, and pushes her against the wall) Owen: I want you. I'm with you. I'm with you because I want to be, I'm with you because I love you. Cristina: Are you sure? (they kiss again) Edit
