    Trauma is my favorite. All my favorite episodes are the ones with all the trauma. The train wreck, the ferry crash, the unexploded ammunition, the fish market accident. Thats when all ther good stuff's there. I think besides the set of episodes with the bomb in a body cavity, this is my favorite episode. I'm also a huge fan of the ones that keep you hanging, not that a lot of them don't, but I love suspense. I mean this episode deals with like everything! Day-before-wedding clammor, exams that will change your careers, trauma, marraige confusion, mixed feelings, lies, jealousy, and tons more stuff. To anyone who hasn't seen it, this is a MUST SEE episode of Grey's Anatomy!!!moreless

    Very good, can't wait for finale! Think adele will survive but she'll lose the baby. Thatcher was a complete ass to meridith, i feel so sorry for her. George is stupid to leave because of Izzie and him. Callie is now annoying! Addison seemed to change back to her boring greys character. Dereck better not cheat, hope meridith gets her feet back on the ground. Christina and borkes wedding spells trouble i think. Finale should be brill!!moreless

    Meredith is having such a hard time. As if having your mum and your surrogate mum die in such short time wasn't enough. Now her stupid father is blaming her for the death of his beloved wife. I could have hit him when he said that she was the only thing he had in life. Hallo!??! There are just your daughters you forgot to mention. Daaah... Idiot...
    Why did Meredith get so hard on the Chief on the other hand? He has really done nothing but support her. It's not his fault that Mummy and Daddy seperated. Well, maybe a little bit, but I still think Mer has been a bit harsh.

    At least she could repeat that test. I was actually worried she'd just fail and then!? Well, of course she couldn't have. It's GREY'S Anatomy and not Cristina's after all :D

    So, how about Burke and Cristina getting hitched? I still have my doubts about whether they'll go through with it or not. But I really hope they are, but I'm guessing there'll probably be a huge emotional cliffhanger.
    It would be actually nice if the cliffhanger didn't involve Meredith and Derek. Watching the promos with him and McBarWhore I was really worried that he might cheat on her just to find a way out of this inner struggle of his. But hopefully, Meredith and her McDreamy will still be on by the end of the season. It would pretty much suck if they were gonna keep us hanging again in the finale...

    Watching Izzie and George is so heartbreaking, I'm really wondering where this might lead. Now that he might not be leaving the programme after all, I'm really wondering when we're gonna see the next elevator kiss. I thought it was so gracious of Izzie to tell George it didn't mean anything. She's been through so much and can't have what she wants - a g a i n !!moreless

    So I really hate how this show gets to me. One minute I am laughing and then I am crying. It's all a bit silly. This episode really got me thinking. When I went through dental school we have national boards that you have to take after your second and forth year that are a bit like the intern exam. You have to get a certain score to move on. Well that scene at the end where Meredith is retaking the test and McDreamy sees the other four interns sitting outside waiting for her. I started crying I didn't (and still don't) have that with anyone. Kinda sad to realize that your life could fall apart and not have anyone that would sit there and be there for youmoreless

    Wonderful Episode!! It is such a switch from last year around this time. The Izzie/George relationship is sweet but heartbreaking. Callie knows deep down and doesn't want to admit it and George is fighting his feelings... Oh the drama! (But has a similar ring to MerAddDer love triangle )

    Meredith fighting through so many issues... (she is becoming more dark and twisty...!) Hopefully her and Derek will pull through... They have come way too far!

    And the parts with them talking to meredith was sweet and almost like the infamous "bathroom" where after a tragic moment they go for comfort.

    I can't wait for next week!moreless
