About saving Bambi, kidnapping Guitars and living Statues
Good Morning! To all of you who haven’t watched the season premiere of House or Greys Anatomy or Gossip Girl this post might be a little spoilerish. After having watched Greys 3 times, House twice and Gossip Girl like 4 times I am now ready to share my thoughts (or some of them) with you guys.
Greys “A Change is gonna Come“: I think Isaiah Washington and Kate Walsh are missing very much. I think in the case of 
IW we will have to get used to the fact that he won’t be coming back and I’m asking myself whether they will replace him somehow. In my opinion there was always a good balance in Seattle Grace. There was the Cardiologist/Surgeon = Preston Burke and then there was the Neurosurgeon=Derek Shepherd. Now there’s only Derek und Mark - who’s hot - but somehow Burke always gave the whole craziness a certain balance. After having seen the series premiere of Private Practice it might be a little early for Seattle Grace to say farewell to Addison for good. We will have to wait that one out. To the episode: How often did they have to show that severed arm and the shoulder of Nancy - a pregnant car accident victim? I loved the part where the dear jumps up after having received reanimation from Izzy. The scene with Izzy and George in the staircase then again was too much weirdness even for me. Especially when Izzy claims that she is now Bambi and that her mother has been shot and that she is now alone in the woods. Normally I understand metaphors pretty well but even for me this was just a bit too much. I think her mother is still alive btw. But that Bambi remark of hers as well as Lexi’s speech at the newborn station (”Cute Festival”) seem to push George into visiting Izzy at the end of the day - and episode and to confess that he is also in love with her. Totally spoilerfree I can’t wait to see what happens next. I like Lexi’s character (Played by Chyler Leigh). She is as she says herself quite awesome. She brings a fresh wind into the whole lot and I think there is a good friendship evolving between George and her. I think the whole new setup that our interns are now residents and that they now have their own interns to take care of will bring a new dynamic into the show. I appreciated the numerous Miranda Bailey scenes. All in all this season starter was just good old Greys Anatomy like we know and love it.
House “Alone”: No big surpises here either. House is without team and seems to make no effort to find himself a new team and as Wilson wisely recounts this can be explained with House’s fear of abandonment and fear of commitment. “When you hire a team or find yourself a girl-friend you risk that they might leave you”. This says Wilson is what House wants to avoid since he is obviously not over the fact that his team has left him. Although it was funny to see House brainstorm with the Janitor and dressing him up to act like a real doctor infront of the confused relatives of this weeks patient I missed his former team consisting of Chase, Foreman and Cameron. Hopefully they will be back in the next episode although we had to love how Wilson and Cuddy filled in the voids. I loved the whole storyline with the kidnapping of House’s guitar between House and Wilson. Hopefully things will freshen up a little in the next episodes. All is good the way it is but I would appreciate a few new storylines. Judging from the end of this season’s first episode we might not have to wait too long for that to happen.
Gossip Girl: I might be sick in my head or plain stupid but everytime I hear Kristen Bell’s voice narrating I get so sad and happy at the same time. I think even if Gossip Girl was to turn out really really bad I would still watch it only to hear Kristen’s voice. I really miss Veronica Mars and I think out of all the shows that have been cancelled this year VM was the one that least deserved it and that had so much more potential for at least 3 more seasons. Anyway Gossip Girl so far is so much fun to watch. I could even imagine Kristen Bell getting a real part as the person behind Gossip Girl sometime in the future. The part would fit her well. Please anyone living in Manhattan - are there people running around in clothes like Blair and the others did during the brunch? It felt like in Cruel Intentions or in Dangerous Liasons - the movie on which Cruel intentations was based upon. I loved the living statues - do people really have living statues at their parties? Amazing. The one thing I couldn’t quite understand was Dan’s disappointment when he found out that his crush Serena had actually had a sexual life before meeting him. What was he thinking? That Serena was saving herself - for him?Please! The way he left Serena at the Hotel was simply childish. One other character I like is Kelly Rutherford playing Darla van der Woodsen - Serena’s mom. I remembered her from Melrose Place but haven’t seen any show she was in ever since. She seems to have a past with Dan’s father and judging from the witty banter between the two of them they seem to have been more than just friends. Also she seems to be having an affair with Chuck’s father who owns the Palace Hotel she and her daughter are presently living in.
So far so good - just watched an amazing season premiere of Brothers & Sisters and am still processing it. Will watch it again with my friend shortly who can’t wait to watch it either and will therefore wait to report on it. Wouldn’t want to spoil anything so fantastic like the Walkers coming back on our TV screen! Here’s a good summary on”Home Front” for those who can’t wait
So Long!
