I just watched it. I didn't really like this storyline...it seemed silly to draw out one storyline for three episodes. I mean, it would suck if the kid died but it's a hospital! It's not like it's the first time something like this has happened. But for once I actually liked the interaction between the characters (lots of communication, no one isn't talking to anyone else, people making up, etc) and didn't really like the story lines. I think the Denny thing was lame because everyone called that from the first time he appeared. It was really obvious that he was there to warn her about something and they dragged it out for toooooo long.

[stargazer]

um, did anyone watch last night's episode? i need someone to talk about it with.

damn, i hope bff watches it soon.

[ketto]

I think the Denny thing is really stupid. It's pointless and annoying and it's getting old. There must be some significant reason he's around but they're drawing it out waaaaaaaay too long now. I still think this show is stupid yet every so often i catch up on episodes online - i'm ashamed.

[stargazer]

so, i've really questioned this season. it has been a total "wtf?" for me. i'm not understanding the whole denny plotline. does anyone have an interpretation as to why he is around? is it like a ghost of relationship pasts for izzy to talk about what is holding her back in her relationships? did i totally pull that one out of my ass?

i am liking the storyline with eric stolz 'cause, well, i really like eric stolz. i'm totally stoked about the epi tonight. and for some strange reason...i find myself intrigued with the christina and pig killer doc relationship.

[sassygrrl]

So, is Denny back on the show b/c they're thinking of taking Izzy off the show?

I liked this episode because it was more about the new crop of interns. I also thought it was interesting competition b/w Mere and Christina about Di and the whole new relationship with Little Grey. Weirdly enough, I liked the voiceovers this show.

Can I say I love mcarmy so much! Yes he has ptsd, but there's something about redheads. What he said on her stoop was very sweet.

[thirtiesgirl]

I think the competition has a little something to do with tensions between the residents, too. But I do kind of think Christina was right, that Merideth should have spoken up a little more to the Chief and not let Christina take a large portion of the blame for not managing her interns. I do think Christina needs to learn to be a better teacher (much as the Chief counseled Hahn a while back with regard to Christina), but I think they both were at fault for letting the interns get out of control.

please tell me that danny is gone! please!

and um, what's the 411 with the riff between meredith and christina? is it the whole competition thing?

Nope, he'll be around.

Christina is jealous of the whole "Deth & Di" relationship. She's very possessive and cannot believe Meredith had a life (a friendship) before she came along.

[stargazer]

[bunnyb]

Just to clarify: when I said that it was a nice dynamic between Christina and the mcscotty I meant that it was a nice dynamic for show, which has a lot of potential, but I agree with mouse that the aggression before the kiss was scary and that he obviously does have ptsd.

I doubt that they'll kill Izzy off; I think that even after all the contract disputes she went through that she's staying on now.

[thirtiesgirl]

As a person who has slight symptoms of Aspergers Syndrome myself, I actually kind of liked that they featured a character with AS, even if they're not going to bring her back. Even though her symptoms were rather obvious and stuck to the typical AS symptoms, I'm glad they showed what it can be like for a person with more severe symptoms. And a woman, no less. Most of the AS characters I've seen represented in the media have been the typical 'nerdy guy' characters, so it was nice to see a successful female surgeon. Aspies aren't all just frustrated physics and engineering geniuses or Bill Gates-in-training computer masterminds.

[mouse]

ooh maybe that means we'll get rid of izzy? haha. the denny thing is fucking ridiculous, though. this past episode was really sub par, and i am already an eyes-rolling fan. oh, and how fucking scary was mr ptsd lunging at yang before he kissed her? i thought he was going to punch her. not cool. oh and the aspie thing just had me rolling my eyes the whole time. just had to jump on the bandwagon, eh?

man, i really hated that episide! ha.

[bunnyb]

I think Izzy has a brain tumour and imagining Denny is one of the symptoms (him saying "I'm here for you" so that she realises medically).

Christina and mcmajormchot interest me; nice dynamic indeed.

Hahn really annoyed me; I found her too cold, although she was contrastingly very warm with Callie and I found it too much of a split personality thing. Bad characterisation.

[sassygrrl]

I don't get the Hahn thing, b/c I thought her character was good.

Denny...yes, it's cheesy. But, he's hawt. He's hotter than Mcdreamy. I like that they added the new college friend. As TG said, it will be a way to her past. I'm hoping that they give Christina and military guy a really neat dynamic to work thru, b/c last season(and parts of this season) she hasn't been used much in the show.

The show has gotten so damn stupid, but I still watch it religiously.

Thanks, but I don't watch tv on my computer screen. I prefer my big screen tv. I'm kinda picky that way.

I have to admit, getting rid of Hahn in seemingly a puff of smoke, without any preamble, was kinda dumb. And yeah, I think you may be right about not knowing where to go with the lesbian thing, faerietales. I'm still in love with the show, though. The new military guy's hot & cold dynamic with Christina is interesting and I hope she finds the strength to tell him what for. I also think the introduction of Merideth's old college friend is kind of interesting. Not that we need another skinny big haired blonde on tv, and this one with an accent, no less. But I find the whole "Death" and "Die" thing interesting, considering that death is such an underlying theme in Merideth's life. It should hopefully be interesting to see how this piece of her past will affect her present.

The Denny thing...yeah, I'm kind of rolling my eyes, too. But this show is nothing if not symbolic, so I'm interested to find out what Denny means for Izzy. Plus, I could spend all day watching Jeffrey Dean Morgan do nothing but read the phone book. That man is just plain HAWT.

[faerietails]

I didn't particularly like Hahn, but I was pissed they kicked her off because they didn't know what to do with a lesbian storyline. That was shitty of them.

I don't even know why I still watch this show. It's gotten really stupid and obnoxious, and yet I watch fairly religiously. But the way they've brought Denny back?! EYEROLL!

[sassygrrl]

So, her leaving was due to the whole Izzy-Denny mess?? I liked that Denny was in flash backs. But, this season is putting me to sleep. I liked Dr. Hahn, and I thought it was awesome they were having an great lesbian couple. I miss the old GA, when it was actually fun to watch.

[stargazer]

well, i wouldn't be surprised if her demeaning behavior towards interns may be the angle they use to explain her leaving the hospital.

[thirtiesgirl]

I'm so pissed off that I slept through most of last week's episode. I was so damn tired after my workday. I tried my best to stay awake, but I just couldn't do it. I made it through the first 15 minutes, and then...zzzzzzzz..... I've been trying to catch a re-run, but haven't seen it yet.

Pardon my evilness, but I actually don't like Dr. Hahn's character and won't mind seeing her go. I can't stand that she's so inhuman in her drive for success and perfection. I mean, Christina's equally as inhuman in those areas, but I can understand her motivation as an intern and now a resident. I don't understand Hahn's. She just comes off as unnecessarily bitchy to me. I was glad to see her get her comeuppance a while back when the Chief told her to be a better teacher.

[erinjane]

I don't regularly watch GA anymore, but I liked that character too. I don't know what the chemistry was like between her and Callie though...maybe I'll watch a couple of eps online tonight.
