Hey to all of you who haven’t watched the greys two-parter yet: you are for once excused from having to read my blog. 
Was last week’s Greys “Crash Into Me (2)” the best episode of this season so far or what?? While the first part was a good average the second part left me stunned and in my opinion it was the best episode of this season so far (I might be repeating myself!). The episode left off right where part one ended. Lexie had her hands full with saving Nick’s (Seth Green) life, his blood splashing all over her and the hospital. This kept her distracted from the fact that Ava or Rebecca had returned and claimed Alex as her boyfriend or whatever they define their relationship. I don’t like the character of Rebecca and the game she’s playing. I think its stupid that she calls herself Eva when she’s around Alex and for all the others she remains Rebecca.
Meredith and the Chief were doing their best to save Ray’s life (Ray was the one who got stuck in the ambulance). I love the scene where Meredith, while stabilizing Ray - tells Hahn to shut up. I love how Hahn reacted. (later more on Hahn) While saving Ray’s life and convincing Jacob’s wife to stay in the hospital and wait for Ray to recover from surgery Meredith had the epiphany that no matter how painful it might be she would rather stay with someone - this someone being Derek - than end up alone.
Derek on the other hand was getting busy with Nurse…. I forgot her name.. “I am an imperfect person” that’s what she described herself. Thanks to 3 semesters computer sciences at Santa Cruz University she was able to restart the Neuronavigational system on the computer in the OR and therefore helped to save a patient’s life. She was rewarded for this with a kiss and very politely thanked Derek afterwards. A few minutes later Meredith chose to inform him about her wish that he was to longer meet with other women and before he was able to respond she hushed him and jumped away.
In my opinion the writers (should they ever write again) could write an entire episode around Dr Erica Hahn, Sloan and perhaps also Callie. Seeing them together in the OR and later in the resident lounge was just perfect. This dialogue which I found on www.tv.com was one of my favorites:
Erica: This is gonna sound bizarre. I realize at this point that this is gonna sound bizarre, but… Any chance you people want to get a drink with me?
Sloan: Why would we want to do that?
Callie: (To Sloan) She’s saying she needs a friend.
Sloan: Okay.Fine.Let’s drink.
Erica: You won’t hit on me?
Sloan: I can’t promise that.
Erica: If I say please?
Callie: (To Erica) He still can’t promise that.
Erica: (After a pause to think) Fine.
And finally there’s Bailey struggling to balance her personal life and her job. George became the messenger when Bailey who was late for a date with her husband asked him to ask her husband to wait so that she could save the life of this nazi guy. Her husband - obviously used to being kept waiting - was less understanding than she’d hoped and after telling George that he was done waiting - left the hospital. George whose friendship with Bailey has grown over the last months had to inform her about this - mid surgery. Memorable was George when he told the nazi guy that would it have been him alone in the OR, the guy would probably be dead by now. I must confess that I’m not the biggest fan of T.R. Knight but his acting in this episode was indeed remarkable.
Oh I forgot Christina. She remained upset that Bailey had pulled her off Hahn’s case and confonted her at the end of the day for using her because of her skin color. I liked her speech although I think it was a little dramatic of Christina. Anyway you just had to love her when she comforted Lexie who had just lost her patient and brought her home to Meredith. When Meredith (who had obviously expected Derek) looked at Lexie suprised Christina just said “She has no one” and the expression on her face was just priceless. And then they all danced including George and Izzie who realized that evening that due to timing and not chemistry (yeah right) they would not make it as a couple - at least for now.
All in all a perfect episode!

I hate it when I don’t get the chance to write my blog. Presently I have no PC at home - a state which I couldn’t have imagined myself living in just a few weeks ago. Weirdly enough after some weeks of getting used to being cut off from the outside world I find it somewhat refreshing. There is so much more to read and to check out when you let the information gather over night and the weekend. I even caught myself turning off my cell phone last Friday after work and didn’t turn it on until Saturday evening. How fun! Anyway, the only time I have left to write my blog is during my office time which is obviously a bad time. So I have to get up earlier and stay in the office later in the evenings which also sucks.
In times of strike I have come to appreciate my shows even more knowing that there most probably won’t be any after January 08. Every episode will at least be watched twice. Sometimes I wait a week (!!!!) to view an episode. In order to distract myself from thoughts about the devastatingly nonexistant TV program in 2008 I decided to rewatch all seasons of Sex and The City which totally didn’t help since it only took me about one week and now I’m back to where I started. I must say though that SATC is the only show that I can watch over and over again. It simply doesn’t get boring. Then I had the glorious idea to play a game like Monopoly or something but evidently other people still have a computer and therefore were less in the mood to play games with me. Then I became sick so all of a sudden I had even more time on my hands. I couldn’t even go running. I know I know - why don’t I get myself a back-up hobby - something like knitting or reading or picking fights? Well I do read - at this time Hillary Clinton’s Biography and I started “Anybody Out There” by Marian Keyes. I usually love the books written by her and tend to devour them within days but this one sort of disappointed me. The book starts off really strong but after 100 pages or so the reader (the smart reader anyway) at least suspects what has happened. I went on to the last page to check whether I was right (I never ever do that normally) and I was! So why read the rest of that book when Hillary’s life is way more entertaining.
Oh, I just read this about the WGA being confident that a deal will be closed soon. I say give the writers what they want and what they’re entitled to and let’s end this strike as soon as possible!!
And before I forget it I must mention that “Womens Murder Club” on ABC is just perfect. It reminds me of the time when I was 13 and used to watch Columbo religiously every Tuesday night (with pizza) It’s the same feeling except maybe that in WMC the main characters who are solving the crimes are hot women who are also members of a cool club which makes this show even better. I will kill should it not get a second season (perhaps they (ABC) have already announced something that I’m not aware of due to the shortcoming of the world wide web in my life). WMC also gave me the opportunity to see actress Laura Harris as someone else other than Marie Warner - the cold-hearted terrorist who was willing to kill her whole family. I hadn’t seen her in any of the shows like “CSI” or “Dead like me” etc. and was first confused and then eventually glad to see her in her present role. It surprises me how some acters will always or for a long time be associated with a strong character they played during their career and how a majority of viewers will find it hard to look at them neutrally when they play a new role. I guess that can be pretty tough and challenging for the actors. For example I will always think of Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer and I will always think of “BOB” when I see Ray Wise somewhere on screen. I think a lot of people will always see Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw. Am I right or what?
Amongst other shows that should be mentioned because they are so brilliant is definitely Gossip Girl. I saw the Thanksgiving episode yesterday (yes, I know I’m behind!) and it was just so entertaining. Nothing we haven’t seen before but there was a plot, wonderful actors and somehow it had a Beverly Hills 90210 meets The O.C. in Manhattan vibe but in a good way. And I totally agree with Perez when he calls Chase Crawford a.k.a. Nate Archibald ”so so hot!!!” I just paid Perez a visit. There is so much happening out there…
Also in an effort to get you guys to watch one of the best shows on TV I will constantly emphasize how spectacular Friday Night Lights is. If this show gets cancelled I will again kill someone. If Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler don’t get an Emmy for their performances I might also kill someone. I’m not a violent person (I might give that impression) I’m just referring to Landry who has killed someone and has chosen to tell the police in last weeks episode. Hopefully not too late. He chose to do so although they were probably never going to find out. Yes yes the conscience can be a very powerful thing.
Okay will stop writing now. Bye y’all!
