Grey's finale aftermath: someone is dead
Oh Grey's Anatomy… you and your drama. Whether it's onscreen with ghost sex or brain tumors or off-screen with homophobic comments or whining, there's never a dull moment with the medical drama. But the real fireworks happen when the off-screen and on-screen drama collide.

I liked George. Actually, I likED TR Knight. But I don't like people who complain. So I hope he winds up being happy and successful. But I also hope he gets nicer. ...Continue »
Like I said. I think TR got too big for his pants, as they say. He should grow up. He really did some good work, like the night he slept with Izzie, he was just great. And his obession with Meredith was good, too. I am not sure that the GA people were faithful to his character, but who knows what would have happened. It also makes me wonder what we don't know about what happened with I Washington, because there is more to it than we know. With that said, let's see where TR is two years. Best Wishes.

TR Knight... hmm. Handsome, genuine, and real. Since the beginning of his career, I've seen nothing but the purity in his intentions and performance. He's great in Grey's Anatomy, but even more than that, he's great where it really matters... if life.... ...Continue »
TR Knight is a wonderful person... and someone who makes me feel good about being myself. He is a talent actor, but his talent in the film industry is not where his talent begins or ends. He has a talent for life... and an ability to be pure and beautiful in his simplicity. To me, that's his greatest asset. And because he has a honest approach about himself, and about life, I know that I'll always love him... no matter where his road of destiny takes him. Thanks, "Teddy", for reminding me what it is to be a beautiful man... I'm a better person because you are a part of the world...
