  • It came down to this: a really unisteresting episode to watch.

    "Terrible"
    By g_anatomy, Oct 31, 2011 Report Abuse
    Really, this season seems to be on a rut.

    1)Wedding contest storyline: it was extremely boring, and I thought that it was the worst storyline ever. It's not appealing at all and it just was something dull.

    2)Izzie and Cristina: I didn't like Izzie in this episode at all. Okay, maybe the last scenes were funny. But the thing is, she's not though enough to even think about Cardio. But even if she was, it's so not like her. Her personality doesn't fit with Cardio, and she should consider another options. So all that competition was just nonsense. Cristina, poor her...I didn't like Erica's attitude at all, since she's really underestimating her and being totally unprofesional.

    3) Callie/Mark: They may have had fun, but from the other side, it's just ridiculous and inmature.

    4)Mer/Der: I liked that Meredith realised some things...but, sadly, she didn't realised all things. She was so close...! But then she's back to being a week girl. Is this ever gonna stop?

    5)Skydiving case: any take is acceptable: it's nonsense for ones and somehow it all makes sense to more deep ones. How come somebody falls from such a high place and is magically without any harm? The answer is really interesting, and has nothing to do with medicine.
    It's all about metaphysics...He didn't die because his love prevented him to do so; he had a chance to say what he felt.

    However it's tacky and even offensive to metaphysics. Maybe romantic, but shallow. Metaphysics takes care of more serious issues (even if it's everywhere and in every act) But at least they showed metaphysics (even if it sucked this time). They'll do so again in 04x11"Lay your hands on me", but with another serious take.
    6)Narration/Episode topic: I totally agree with Meredith. We all think we're though, but not all the time. She reminded us that even if we want to be though, we still are human and that we can feel a lil' week some times.

    Still, it was absolutely boring (even if they tried to make this episode funny). Almost all stories were dull and they didn't make any connection among them (usually they do, and that was that it made so good before). It was absolutely silly and I think this episode is one of the worst so far, ever made in Grey's Anatomy.moreless

    I always enjoy Greys Anatomy, I don't think theres been an episode I didn't like and this still continues. This was a great episode but wasn't the best of the season. I'm glad Meredith is finally talking about the boat drowning thing and I think maybe things could get better for her and Dereck. The whole gentlemans evening thing was funny and I enjoyed watching them predict what the night would involve. I actually think Dr Hahn is a good character which surprised me. Izzie crying at the end was very funny, I do hope Gizzie stay together. Callie, I'm really hoping she gets her own story soon. Cristina and Baily were good characters, as usual. The end was good, "Please tell me you don't live with Meredith Grey!" Merediths face was great, so another great episode!moreless

    The episode starts out with the chief coming out of his new place, which appears to be a trailor on Dr. Shepard's land. The two eat breakfast together and Richard announces that the guys should have a gentleman's evening. Derek and Mark search their brains all day to figure out what this includes, and they ask the opinions of Bailey and Hahn. When Mark asks Bailey what comes to mind when he says gentleman's evening, she replies "tassles. Shiney sequined tassles, and one dollar bills." I thought that was extremely hilarious! When Mark and Derek ask Dr. Hahn what she thinks it means, she asks Them if they are a couple, which i also thought was hilarious. I love Hahn! She definately helps with not missing Addison so much. Hahn has to perform surgery on a blockage in a man's heart but we find out he's allergic to anesthesia, so there really is no possible way to perform the surgery. Yang does some research and tips off Hahn by telling her they could do the surgery while the man is awake and numb him from the neck down. Hahn tells Izzie to assist even though it was Yang's idea. Izzie brought this to Hahn's attention but she didn't seem to care. I wonder what kind of lesson Hahn is trying to teach Yang, or if she just plain doesn't like her. I think she wants Yang to have some kind of compassion for patients, but i'm not sure yet. Anyway, yhe man has a problem with this awake open heart surgery but since he is a bird watcher Izzie comes up with a couple ideas. She posts pictures of a bird the man wanted to scout when he got better called the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, which is a very rare bird. Izzie posts pictures of this bird in the O.R. so the man can look at them and not be so nervous, and she brings in headphones for him to listen to so his mind will not be focused on the bone saw. The man starts freaking out because everyone is watching him, but Izzie saves the day by telling him to imagine what kind of birds everyone would be and to describe them to her. This calmed the man down. On a lighter note, Izzie told George in the on call room where he's been sleeping that she wants to have hot perfect sex tonight. When she mentioned shaving her legs and George said she didn't have to, she said "Hot perfect sex requires shaved legs." I thought that was pretty amusing. So, two women come into the hospital with injuries including a broken nose, a dislocated shoulder and a messed up leg. Apparently they were fighting over a competition where the last person to have their hand on this wedding dress would win a one-hundred thousand dollar wedding. The two women had been holding it for two days before they started duking it out. One girl, Jackie was refusing to have surgery on her shoulder because she would rather continue holding onto the dress, but Lexie convinces her to have the surgery after she manipulates the girl by telling her she'll probably have a hunch back. Callie and Mark plot to torture Derek so they elect him as the proxy that has to hold onto the dress in Jackie's place while she has surgery. Callie's facial expression here was funny as she tried not to laugh. After hearing the other girl's story, George starts to feel bad. When this girl passes out since she's been bleeding all day, George announces that he let go of the dress first because he had to catch her when she was falling, leaving her the winner. Boy Mark really tried to torture him. However, the chief found out and told George he was a good man for not giving in. Hahn basically told the chief that he was segregating by not inviting women to his little get together with the men, which i also thought was funny. I love her! When the guys are all sitting outside Derek's trailor that night, they ask what a gentleman's night is. The chief tells them it's a night without ladies, but Hahn walks up and says "Pretty boys living in the woods, this is very charming...or sad, not sure which." That was hilarious. They guys and Hahn all sit around and play Monopoly, what a gentleman's evening. I'm starting to wonder if there's going to be a thing between the chief and Hahn, but i doubt it. I don't think Richard is her type. Anyway, the team gets a case involving a skydiver that fell twelve-thousand feet without a parachute because it wouldn't open, and he had no injuries except that he needed to have his appendix removed. The team watches the video from the fall which was a little amusing, especially Yang. Meredith asked "What's he doing?" and Yang said "Peeing his pants." I love her! So they learn that this man is in love with his skydiving instructor and that's what he said on the video as he was falling, but she never watched it. Meredith finally told him that the feeling of courage after defying death goes away, so he should tell her what he wants to say to her before it's too late. Although i do love Derek and Meredith, the two of them still sleeping together and not continuing a regular relationship is getting old. Something needs to happen here. During a surgery Derek tells Cristina that Meredith won't let him take care of her. Cristina replies "I'm taking care of her." Cristina and Meredith have a sleepover. Meredith asks what she should do about how she's feeling and Yang says she doesn't know. She's basically in the same boat. Since Ava/Rebecca is nowhere to be found again, Lexie asks Alex what his plans are for the night. He shoots her down as he usually does. He's good at running. Grey wakes up when she hears some noise and catches those two fooling around in her house. She slams the door and is not very happy. Lexie had no idea that Alex lived with Meredith. I can't wait to see how that pans out in the next episode. Izzie and George get ready to have their night and Izzie starts having an emotional breakdown which was quite amusing. She is so weird sometimes! George says it's ok, that they can do it another night. When they lay down to go to sleep George asks "Did you only shave one of your legs?" and Izzie starts crying louder, and George tells her it's ok. That was funny! Callie tells George in this episode that she is letting go. I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode, this one was great as usual.moreless

    Two women are in a competition and whoever lets go of a wedding dress loses the 10 grand, while they both have minor injuries i.e. a broken nose and a shoulder. The woman with the broken shoulder has to let o to have an operatio and Mark, who was previously asked by Callie to make George's life a hell, asks George to be the proxy man and hold the dress until the other woman comes out of surgery. When the second woman is still in surgery the first one collapses and George lets go of the dress to catch her making her the winner.
    A guy falls from 12000 feet and survives because his parachute didn't open. He survived with no broken bones or scars and never lost consious. A patient has to have a heart surgery and because he's allergic to anaisthetics he has to have performed on him an open heart surgey while he's still awake. His only ambition is to go watch a rare kind of bird when he gets better.
    George has his first night with Izzie, with whom they were planning the perfect night but their plans went wrong when they were both exhausted from work.
    Chief Webber is going for a divorce and he's taying in a trailer next to Derek. They were planning on having a gentlemens' night but Chief also brought Erika the new cardiologist.moreless

    I am so happy about Izzie and George but I just get the feeling that they are gonna at some point break them up, which is not fair cause they are so cute together and deserve so much to be happy. I just wonder why George hasn't gotten divorced yet. I am glad that Callie has let go. She really needed to see that it just wasn't right and their marriage was not meant to be. I loved all the medical cases on this episode. The heart one was so exciting! I really like Dr. Hauhn. She is good. I knew Alex and Lexi would end up having sex at some point. He sleeps with everyone. I wonder who the person he is still hung up on is, Ava or Izzie? Meredith needs to get her act together and tell Derek how she feels so they can figure out their relationship cause it's getting annoying.moreless

    • Izzie: George... (he is about to kiss her but she is trying really hard not to cry and starts sobbing) I'm exhausted. Every bone and every muscle in my body aches. And I don't think that I can do this. It's not that I don't want to, because I do. I really, really do. It's just that I just spent 6 and a half hours on my feet in surgery and I can barely hold myself up. And I'm just so tired. And... And this is like a rare bird, George. George, you know. It's the first time since... Since we were together. And it's a once in a lifetime expiernce, and I-- I don't wanna waste it on a night that I'm too exhausted to enjoy it. Because I wanna enjoy our rare bird, George. I need to enjoy our rare bird. And-- (continues to sob) George: Me too. And-- and oh, my hand... It's just killin' me from holding the dress. So, maybe tonight is not the perfect night. Maybe the perfect night is another night. Izzie: Really? George: Yeah. Yeah. (pauses) Do you wanna maybe go to sleep? Izzie: Yeah. (they lay down in bed, spooning up against each other) Thanks. George: Did you only shave one of your legs? Izzie (starts sobbing again): I know. I'm sorry. George: No, it's cool. It's alright. Shh.

    • Lexie: Hey, what are you doing tonight? Alex: As in... Lexie: What are you doing... tonight. Alex: Look, uh, I'm not a nice guy. I don't date. I don't call the next day. I'm not looking for a relationship cause I'm never good at ´em. And honestly I'm kinda hung up on somebody else. So...the only thing you're ever going to get from me is sex... That's it. And that's never usually enough for girls like you. Edit
    • Mark: He doesn't have any secret fetishes does he? He doesn't strike me a fetish kinda guy. Derek: Hey, Richard. You've gotta tell us what this evening's about. You've been obtuse, it's been fun, but we're gettin' a little freaked out now. What's a gentlemen's evening? Richard: It's an evening with no ladies. Just gentlemen. Mark: That's it? Richard: Well, yeah. Erica (walks up): Pretty boys living in the woods. This is very charming. Or sad. I'm not sure which. Mark: What happened to no ladies? Derek: Yeah... Erica: Plans change. Edit
