I liked it but not as much as last week's.
I've ragged on the show's dialogue before, but one thing in particular is the scenes in which a character is talking about one thing regarding the hospital or a patient, and then we get a close up of another character to whom that same line of dialogue also applies in his or her personal life.
For instance, this week we got we got Shepard saying to the guy who with the brain surgery that recovery takes time, then a close up of Cristina having a realization about Burke, then her going home with the chicken thing. Then we got the Abigail Breslin "maybe we hurt for a reason" thing, then Alex relaying that to Izzie.
The show does this a lot. And I feel beaten over the head at times.

It worked better in the Burke/Cristina situation, as for izzie, then like makng her storyine as gag inducing sa is humanly possible,s o i tend to tune that out.

Yeah, I saw that on Defamer. It's too bad Washington is an asshole.

Well, they haven't even really had any scenes together so far this season. And it really hasn't been since the first season/beginning of second season that they were rivals. So if it does translate, it means someone isn't doing his job as an actor.

I know! I love a drugged up Meredith -- just like I loved the train ep in season two when she was drunk. She's great that way.

The Denny thing was a little much, but overall it was a good episode.

While I thought the cheque was interesting, now we're going to have to hear all about where the money came from, etc, so we could still have this story going for 1/3 of the season at this rate....

Great episode tonight  One of the best in a while. I'm really liking Addison. And even though I thought I was warming up to Xena, I don't think it's happening.

I got bored for an hour yesterday and watched this last episode online (the one with Meredith on morphine). It was probably the best episode I've seen of the series. And I'm glad that creepy stalkerish chick who was into the naive young guy (George?) strayed, that relationship needed to end.

I just have to say, the terms "Mcdreamy" and "Mcsteamy" have been beaten to death. There comes a time when something has run it's course, and this is definitely one of those times.

TR Knight came out
Personally, George is so asexual that I never even thought about whether Knight is gay or straight, but it's not a shock.

I think the reason why he came out is more important. There has been "speculation" on his sexuality supposedly because Isaiah Washington flipped out on Patrick Dempsey and grabbed him by the neck and shoved him back and said "I won't be your little faggot like (insert name here)." A report that he said that got leaked, and the name was blocked out.. and seeing as Dempsey was the one being yelled at and Alex (forgot the actors name) is married with, like, five kids... he's one of the few people left to be question his sexuality. If it's true about Isaiah Washington saying and doing that... I think it's really crappy and disrespectful and I find it hard to even like his character in the slightest now (although I didn't like Burke much before anyway).

I almost literally can't stand any one character anymore... Addisson barely got by this last episode.
So, I think I'm really gonna try and throw in the towel for this show.
