Grey's Anatomy 2012-13

So now Owen is going to grow a beard -- he already has a slight beard, but now it'll be a full beard -- and get drunk in the woods? Can't they come up with anything better for the character than repeating yet another storyline?

Noooooooooooo not drunk

I loved this episode even more than any other episodes in two or three years I love Katherine's spicy acting and it was so hilarious that GA is back to its full-of-sex-hospital drama again

Actually, I interpreted it in a far more positive way. Going just by the expression on his face -- he looked pretty content.

I was very pleased that theydidn't throw Callie and Owen in bed together. They way that bar scene was going I thought for sure that would be what happens next.

Happy Meredith is still freakin' me out though.

[Andora]

Loving this season so far! I even like Owen this time around.

Could still really do without Kepner, but she was pretty hilarious talking to Karev.

I'm trying to decide if the writers have forgotten Preston Burke entirely. I mean Derek's story line is a pretty serious call back to Burke's which is sort of irritating. But the weirdest thing was that, realistically, wouldn't it have come up between Christina and Mer when they were talking about Derek?

[Jimena]

I'm really liking this season. I love April and Avery. And I'm thoroughly enjoying Christina in Minnesota. I love her relationship with the old surgeon. Christina can be a lot of fun but sometimes she's quite intolerable for me. So this is a great development. I don't know how long she'll be at Mayo, but this is the most I've enjoyed her character in years.

[HeatherC]

I am also really enjoying this season of GA especially Cristina's story in MN. Love her and the older doctor! They have such a great dynamic together and her and Meredith's phone calls are pretty hilarious at times too. I really feel like this year is more like the Grey's of old and I'm SO happy about that since the older episodes are such faves of mine. I hope they keep this up all season!

[HeatherC]

Bumping up since there's a new episode tonight. Still love Cristina and Dr. Thomas and I think we may see Meredith break over Lexie's death tonight.

[HeatherC]

And now I'm crying... (((Cristina)))

Although Dr. Thomas dying in the operating was kind of obvious, it was still quite the emotional impact.

This really was the Meredith and Cristina episode. Well done.

Echoing effect in Mer and Christina scenes were bit of annoying, though

[smurfy]

I enjoyed the episode. I felt it moved the show a little forward and Christina is back - for good I hope!
I do like competent Mer!
And Zola is the cutest!!!!

Seriously? I thought that there was something wrong with my earphones.

Predicted the whole Thomas thing, they needed something to happen to get Cristina on a plane. Very obvious ending for me, but glad their patients both survived.

[Andora]

I liked Owen with Zola. Really adorable, and when Cristina came back it was fresh in my mind how much he loves kids.

Not looking forward to next week's episode. Like Callie hasn't had enough, now it's Derek's turn to freak out on her.

[BaileyCatts]

I'm so glad I don't read any of the show threads on the board until I get around to watching the show. Dr. Thomas dropping dead had me ! I was figuring on him getting fired and Christina standing up for him and walking out on the Minnesota hospital to get her back to Seattle.

And am I the only one who thinks its a little odd that they just pass Zola around to strangers all night long and Meredith not knowing where she is? Oh yea. TV .. blah blah.

[Veronika]

See, and I'm glad that I knew the Dr. Thomas was going to die...I prefer to be spoiled for stuff like that.

[l'etoile]

Even spoiled, that scene was as much as shocking as it could be for me. I prepared myself all the way through this episode but it didnot do any cushion working. The writers have their own way of making things so much umexpected and shocking. That is one of many reasons why I can't stop watching this show.

I found it really hard to watch Meridith consistently choose her job over her poor little sick child. It was certainly child neglect.

The Christina part of the show was great though.

The weird echo in the sound was not noticable in my over-the-air signal viewing as it aired, and I was wondering what people were referring to here. And then I re-watched the show on my daughter's downloaded version, and it was loud and irritating. It must have been some effect of the way cable and satellite services compress the signals.

No. Child neglect is leaving your child alone without any one caring for her. That wasn't the case here.

The whole point of the episode was Meredith coming to terms with Lexie's death. Her patient had the same injuries and Mer wanted to save her because she couldn't save Lexie.

It's TV, and it's not even great TV, so you sometimes have to look for the metaphors and stop focusing on the fictional child

I agree. I appreciated that this episode showed an interconnection with the hospital staff that was based on something besides sex. Shonda usually beats us over the head with mommy or career woman stories, but this one seemed valid. The Meredith character does tend to compartmentalize. In this episode she did not. We saw evidence of her grief and feelings of guilt.
