That works. The big one, though give the size of my gut I ought to go small (fist bump - EXPLODE)!

Maybe it's just me, and the fact I'm a simpleton. But I can't tell a difference in the show. Maybe it's because I go to movies and shut my brain off, so I don't see plot holes. Maybe I just watch television to watch it.

I barely know you, but I love you for saying this. Why must everything be picked apart so completely? I'm the type, I go in prepared that what I see on my TV, when it comes to sitcoms and hour-long dramas, may not always be realistic. I just sit back and try to enjoy the ride. If I come out on the other side entertained, I'll take the ride again. If not, well, no more of that ride for me. It's easy!

Bring out the Gimpy Scribe.

Think the Gimpy Scribe's sleepin'.

Well, I guess you'll have to go and wake him up now, won't you?

It's not about analysis as much as it's about enjoying a show, admiring the plots and acting that keep you entertained, and making a show a weekly must-see. Granted, this show has built up enough cache that it can afford a story like this one, where what could have been two hours is stretched to three thanks to a little mute bitch on the dock.

As I said, this Meredith arc just seemed forced, like they were consciously TRYING for "event TV!" instead of just letting the story tell itself, as this show does at its best. They sold it as being huge, but the girl bleeding out her stomach was a reminder of an episode that wasn't as hyped, but that was much better. The story of george's dad had me interested the whole way as well, with no hype.

Yes, there were certain moments that were great, absolutely, as I mentioned in a previous post.

The potential longterm benefits of this arc are clear: Izzy has been put in her place, something I've waited for since she played the denny card on George when he tried to apologize (needlessly) for asking her to butt the hell out when his dad was deciding on a heart surgeon. Meredith's mom is out of the picture, as her impact had run its course. And best of all, Denny is out of the picture, hopefully.

This could be like that second-season episode of Alias where they got rid of SD-6: it could close a lot of old plots that had become stale (ENOUGH with Denny), and open up new possibilities.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be hanging out at the Battlestar Galactica/All-Purpose Geek thread? Your kind doesn't belong here.

OK, I finally watched this this afternoon. And I cried. Like a baby. Probably 3-4 times.

So screw all of you, it touched me.

Most of the sentiment I have heard from the ladies I have spoken with is that they cried while saying "I know this is utter cheese, and it shouldn't affect me, but I'm crying anyway!"

I didn't cry but I still think it was a good episode.

Moderator1 · Feb 24, 2007

It made me cry, too, for entirely different reasons.
I read a wrapup on the entertainment wire yesterday that said the "Izzy character has turned into a complete joke." I thought I'd written it my own self.

Doctors must love this show!

I have finally caught up and .... the show is so gone. And I don't think it's coming back.
