  • Grey's continues its run of lacklustre episodes

    6.0
    "Fair"
    By sbhwap, Dec 01, 2011 Report Abuse
    So Grey's has not been been able to reach the heights it has scales in previous seasons so far this season but does that change in this ep?
    Sadly the answer is no it does not. Meredith and Derek are still in happy coupleville. The state of Mer and Christina's relationship however, makes the Arctic look warm.They can't even be civil to one another. Sadie takes a break from throwing meaningful glances Carrie's way to remind Mer that she and Sadie were once much closer and that she then pushed her away the same way she pushing Cristina away. Thus the character was given a purpose.Army doctor continues to have as much personality as a dry sponge and his messed up interaction with Cristina lumbers on. Izzie continues in her craziness, though thankfully she's no longer sexing the ghost/vision/illusion (seriously this has to be the worst storyline ever).She does however confide in Alex, which surprise, surprise, he doesn't grasp the gravity of and is actually quite sweet. Personally I think giving him a personality transplant instead of slowly unveiling his softer side is one way Grery's has been a let down this season. George again ceases to serve any purpose. The Chief continues to obsess abot the state of the hospital. Bailey clashes with a new doctor. Really the only high point of the the episode, for me, was the Mark/Callie interaction, which provided the only lighthearted interactions in the ep.moreless

  • A really good episode!! And say goodbye to Erica Hahn.

    8.5
    "Great"
    By chris_friends, Jul 26, 2011 Report Abuse
    Honestly, I really liked this episode. I don't know why people seem to hate it and hate the whole Denny storyline in it. That seems to be my favorite part. I think the last scene with Erica and Callie arguing was A-MAZING. I loved it when Erica says, "You can't kind of think it's okay. You can't kind of side with Izzie.... And you can't kind of be a lesbian."

    That was so powerful in my opinion. I do understand Erica's point of view (only a little bit) but then again what good could possibly come of out reporting Izzie NOW? So that's why I loved Callie in this, when she told Erica, "Yes. I can."

    Also a great scene was in the OR (the second time) when Izzie had to hold Mike's hand and let him cough but then she sees Denny and doesn't know what to do. She's confused and lost and traumatized. Yet, in the face of all that, she helps her patient get through even though she knew that would mean she couldn't see Denny anymore.

    I loved Cristina/Owen here. In the end, where they're in the on-call room and Owen tells her, "I bet you don't even know the patient's name." and how he says that she IS a brilliant surgeon but if she's doing it for the rewards and as a competition, then she shouldn't be doing it at all. And then Cristina says, in the slowest way possible, "The patient's name is Tom." Sweet!!

    Another great installment from Grey's. This is really one of the most amazing seasons ever.moreless

  • Meet Stan the Dummy. Denny comes back.

    9.0
    "Superb"
    By Valentine_76, Mar 20, 2011 Report Abuse
    The Chief introduces the residents and interns to Stan the surgical dummy, whom they can practice procedures on and never kill. O'Malley and Kerev are the first to get to use him, but George is the only one that works on Stan much to the Chief's delight. The interns practices procedures on each other. Izzy is chosen to work with Hahn and her patient Mike, who just happens to be the man that would have gotten the heart that Izzy stole for Denny. While in the room with Mike she sees Denny. Sloan starts flirting with Yang, because Derek asked him to, but unfortanately she doesn't even notice. When Hahn finds out that Izzy stole Mike's heart, she wants her reported but the Chief says it has already been dealt with. Calle tells Hahn to drop it and they get in a fight with Hahn storming off.moreless

  • Izzie seeing Denny actually worked in this episode...everything else flowed too.

    9.5
    "Superb"
    By stewie1423, Aug 26, 2010 Report Abuse
    So this is probably one of two episodes in which Izzie seeing Denny actually works...throughout the episode you could feel for Izzie and what pain that would have been brought back from that time. It was very well done and acted. Liked how it was ever a bit funny with Izzie asking people whether they had ever seen ghosts...Hahn was pretty harsh and Stevens. But I won't dismiss her anger, that was fair if not maybe slightly stupid.

    I hated how she treated Callie at the end...just because Callie was saying the 'wrong' things her eyes means she doesn't know her? How unfair is that, good riddance Erica. I liked the Hunt/Yang conversation about the latter's father...he realised that she wasn't just a cold person. Sloan hitting on Cristina was really funny as was Lexie and the dead bodies, plus George and the medical robot.

    The end was good...Izzie though Denny had gone but then he spoke to you 'Are you sure you're okay?'. Sadly this all gets too soppy and stupid soon...we'll see what opinion I'll have on the 2nd viewing.moreless

  • The best episode so far this season.

    "Perfect"
    By Milaneh, Aug 26, 2010 Report Abuse
    I haven't seen an episode so good in while. I'm starting to think that Denny Douqette related episodes are the most interesting of the show. Not only the whole plot around Hahn's patient, but everything else was brilliant. George and the robot, Lexie and the residents, Bailey and the old couple... Amazing. Sloan flirting with Cristina was hilarious! And Cristina's "I see dead people" is probably my favourite line of the entire show!

    But what really made me write this review is Callie Torres. Her last scene with Erica was her best in the show. I mean, the way she was on Izzie's side after all shows just how much of a good person she is. It was generous and unselfish and her character has just gotten a big plus in my book.moreless

    • Izzie (to Denny): You can't be here. I have to move on. I love you. And I will always love you, but I have to move on. That's why I had that patient today, and that's why I helped save his life today, so that I wouldn't feel guilty anymore. So, I could move on. So, please. You have to go. Edit

So we are responsible to treat them as such, we claim them and treat them with respect. ... Close them up, cover them up, and put them back where they belong. Now! Edit
