My favorite Mistake
Yes, I survived my London trip and I must say it was amazing and way too short which means I will have to go back there soon and take in the whole city. But more to my trip later. I gotta talk about Greys Anatomy first:
This episode was all along excellent. I want to write about George and Izzie first since they were the dominating “couple” tonight. The acting was convincing, the emotions came across and you could totally identify with both characters. To initially let George have a blackout about the night he slept with Izzie was a perfect way to continue this storyline. Izzie is all shocked, confused about the previous night and can’t believe that George has just forgotten all about it. But while Izzie is running through Seattle Grace wondering what to do and acting weird around her friends George’s memory returns in the middle of his lunch with Callie and her rich father. The flash backs catch him by surprise and make him stand up to Callie’s father which makes him win back Callie.
The moment when George and Izzie are in the broom closet is so intense and overwhelming. It is obvious that Izzie is dealing with new feelings for George she didn’t know she had. I’m not so sure about George’s feelings though but he definitely has to deal with the guilt of having cheated on his wife. I give it 2-3 episodes until Callie finds out. The remarkable thing about this show is and I haven’t seen that in another show before: it shows characters that make real mistakes. Mistakes that happen in real life and while you watch them do them you sometimes have to turn away because it is so wrong. But these things happen.
I was totally against this George/Izzie storyline in the beginning but the writers have once again proven that they are able to create greatness over and over again. Jon Lachonis brings it to the point in his article and I couldn’t agree with him more when he says “This is where Grey’s really proves itself; in just about any prime time drama adultery is something that just happens“. I totally feel for Izzie. Who of us hasn’t been there before? You have the perfect friendship with someone and then this happens and at least one of you discovers feelings which change the friendship forever. In most cases the friendship eventually comes to an end. I have been there several times which makes me a strict defender of the theory that man and woman cannot be friends.
The other characters were equally brilliant this week. Mark’s confidence even makes him more sexy which is unbelievable. His reaction to Meredith confronting him about the motive for himto let her scrub in on Jane Doe’s face was so honest and refreshing and when he won the board over and was joking around with them all suited up I was drooling all over the sofa 
Alex has been revealing a whole new very sensitive and sweet side these past episodes and there is so much chemistry between him and Addison. I wonder who will end up with whom. I found a nice recapon this epi here.
Christina seems to be settling for marrying Burke and I guess there was a metaphor there when she had to amputate the patient’s foot. Something about looking into the future. I was probably too tired to process this. Perhaps when I watch this episode the second time.
All in all this episode was one of my favorites. I thought about Gregory Kirshling’s “too many characters” theory and it is probably true. But all the characters are brilliant and I wouldn’t want to kick one of them out. I only see one solution - change the episode time to 84 minutes per week. This way everybody would have enough time to shine.
