Greys is Back!
Was this weeks episode of Greys fabulous
or what? I enjoyed every second even the second time I watched it. Thank you Deborah Cahn who wrote this one. It was all about the character`s this week. No major accidents (except for maybe George and Izzy) just tons of perfect scenes, fine acting and funny lines.
Meredith has obviously recovered from her near death experience with the realization that it`s all about the people which leads to her inviting Alex to live in her house and to take George`s room. Meredith is also dealing with her mother`s death but seems to cope pretty well (how many days has it been?) while George finds out that the hotel room he is living in with Callie costs $2500 the week and that his wife is loaded.
Meredith and her father make some first small steps in each other`s direction when they have dinner at the Grey`s residence. Christina`s former boyfriend the famous Cardiologist Colin Marlow shows up at Seattle Grace which gives Burke some insight on Christina`s past. The result is that Marlow tells Burke about Christina`s point of view on marriage and her aversion against it. She clarifies that she wants Burke happy and that she`s not dating him because of his skills and his reputation.
I loved a lot of small scenes in “Scars and Souvenirs” like Christina and Meredith hiding from figures of their past in the broom closet. Like Alex walking into the bathroom where Izzie`s standing naked. Meredith and her stepmother (forgot her name) at the dinner table. Christina just running into Meredith`s bedroom in the beginning. Meredith and Christina sleeping in one bed in the end. The interns during their lunch break. Perfect Grey moments
Bailey doesn`t have a lot of scenes this week but her new haircut is well-noted. She`s the only one who doesn`t get all caught up in the run for chief. Addison hardly had any scenes either. I liked that they`re not pushing the Alex/Addison thing any harder. Alex who is so hot lately that I seriously hope for him to get back together with Izzie is spending a lot of time with his Jane Doe. I hope they are bringing her husband into the picture pretty soon. We`ve had the storyline “intern gets involved with patient” already and I do not need to see that again so soon. The scene with Izzy and Alex was so cute when he kissed her on the cheek…
During the fight of our married couple which resulted from the fact that Callie kept her family`s fortune a secret Callie accused George of having a thing for his best friend who he had indirectly (over Meredith) told about the money. I was already suspecting the worst then but watching him act on it was just the weirdest thing. Even I would have learned out of the mistake my friend (in this case Meredith) made and not repeat the same mistake again. But then again everyone has to make his own mistakes.
When George leaned in to what we all knew was to kiss Izzie I was like “no no no” But shit happens. Sometimes you do things or you know you`re about to do things that are so wrong and you still let it happen. Liked Elizabeth Chan`s article I have been in this situation. You`re friends, you fight, you try to make up, you make out. Everythings weird after that. I hope they won`t repeat the Meredith/George storyline though.
I was totally with Greg Kirshling this week especially about Katherine Heigl´s brilliant and diverse acting. Regarding the storyline of Derek and his former med. colleague played by Shohreh Aghdashloo (24 4th Season, The Lake House): actually these tumors are called meningiomas. I was once told by a Neurosurgeon that if you have to have a brain tumor it should be one of those.
I`m so glad Greys is back. All my favorite shows going on hiatus caught me by surprise this time. At least Greys is back and 30 Rock has me cracking up in front of the tv every Thursday. It`s like the funniest show on television since Arrested Development.
