Grey's Anatomy

So, is she gonna be the next actress to leave the show? Or is she bound by contract to stay at least six seasons?

Well, this just sucks. :angry:

Can you say total failure of imagination?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 10 Nov 08 :: 23:28

Interesting...

I don't want Burke back.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 11 Nov 08 :: 00:06

Nope. I don't think anyone does. It's just weird that Mr. Homophobe would stick up for the actress playing the gay character who's been ousted.

TeeJay · 11 Nov 08 :: 00:48

Yeah, well, it kinda figures that he'd stick with the underdogs who got fired. You know, like him.

justme · 11 Nov 08 :: 00:56

It's not weird. He's an ass. He's always been an ass. These kinds of things happen all the time. Characters are written into corners by the storyline or for some reason don't strike a chord with viewers. Why doesn't he have a kind word for the 5-10 people David E. Kelley fires every season off of "Boston Legal"? It's only "Grey's Anatomy" characters that rouse him to speech? Wonder why? This is just another example of this jackass's inability to shut his pie hole. I only hope that he made his statement from the bench at the bus depot where he's been living for the past two years.

That said, I hated to see what they did to Brooke Smith, too. And so abruptly. Why not ease Callie and Hahn out of that storyline? They really didn't have Hahn interact with any of the other characters. And whattaya wanna bet that we never hear about her reporting Izzy to UNOS? It seems like instead of writing these days, they just heave stuff against the wall and see what sticks.:fedup:

TheCentralScrutinizer · 11 Nov 08 :: 02:25

Yeah, you're pretty much right about that. I think maybe entertainment (tabloid) reporters were more than happy to call up IW and ask what he thought, hoping to stir up some stink. And he was more than happy to oblige so he could get his name back in the press.

Personally, I enjoyed Callie & Hahn together. I was particularly impressed that they let Callie express those "specific" doubts that she ended up talking to Bailey about a couple of weeks ago. Never seen that in one of these storylines before. I think Disney/ABC got cold feet and told Rhimes to shut that storyline down. Kind of like the pressure that was put on Barbara Hall & Co to alter JoA in the second season. I would've had no issue with them ending the relationship if they felt the Callie/Hahn thing just wasn't working out. But firing Brooke was extreme. She could've stayed on and caused all kinds of trouble for Izzy. And maybe then KH wouldn't be so bored with her role. But of course they'll continue to defy what we know would happen to Izzy in the real world if practically everyone in the hospital knew what she did. Because you know, Heigl's a movie star now and they wouldn't want to lose her if they could help it.

Never in all my TV-watching days have I ever found a show so consistently irritating and yet I still wanna watch it for some reason. It confounds me.

justme · 11 Nov 08 :: 03:48

Yeah, I did too. But Callie was never serious, never stopped seeing McSteamy. And you're right: I'm sure Mickey Mouse wussed out. But with all the whiny cast members and their very public nervous breakdowns, etc. I kind of understand Disney trying to be proactive before the wheels start flying off the wagon again.

And they still do a lot of things right: I approve of the man they found for Christina! Major Hunt already appreciates her more than Burke ever did. She's his "single malt scotch". I sure hope they don't drop the ball on that storyline.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 11 Nov 08 :: 04:53

Perzactly. I just wish they'd do right by Callie. Or mess with her, or whatever. I just really like her and want her to have a storyline that keeps her in the forefront. And OMG! I love Kevin McKidd. You're so right. WHAT A MAN! Did you watch Rome? Or Journeyman? I adored the former and tried to like the latter. This role in GA is far better than his last gig. And it's fun to see Cristina all discombobulated.

domesticelefant · 11 Nov 08 :: 18:13

I finally started watching Season 5. Oh God, I will never stay away from any spoilers. I almost thought they really killed Derek!

TeeJay · 14 Nov 08 :: 23:29

Okay, Izzie and Denny--WTF???? What is he? Who is he? I don't want her macking with a ghost! Especially not now that Alex is starting to be a decent person.

The Hahn "departure" was really ungraceful. Poor Callie. The scene in the OR was heartbreaking.

Not sure whether I like the new girl. And.... Deth??? Talk about a bad connotation.

-TeeJay

TheCentralScrutinizer · 15 Nov 08 :: 00:11

So far, I hate the new girl. She's the kind of person I always wanna slap. Yeah, my heart broke for Callie. But I think McSteamy has really developed feelings for her. I'm not sure I like the idea of them actually getting together, but it was sweet to see him and Cristina being so supportive.

I guess it's probably a good thing you didn't see the preview for next week if you don't want Izzy macking with a ghost...

Big ups to the casting director for hiring one of my absolute favorite Indian actors, August Schellenberg for the role of the "haunted heart" patient. I love his voice. He's amazing.

TeeJay · 15 Nov 08 :: 01:03

Uh oh, I think I'm gonna hate the Izzie storyline this season...

Yep, sure looks like McSteamy has feelings for Callie. (And I thought the Little Sloan and Little Grey was kinda funny.) Not sure I wanna see McSteamy with Callie either.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 05 Dec 08 :: 04:10

Seems like a funny ep tonight rather than a gut-wrenching one. Cool.

magicalturkey · 05 Dec 08 :: 04:34

I haven't seen this show in a while but I gotta say... I'm not a fan of Dr. Dixon.

justme · 09 Dec 08 :: 23:33

Yeah, I guess they're trying to show that Asperger's syndrome isn't as funny as they made it look on Boston Legal, but good Lord they ought to keep her well away from the patients' families!

Here's the latest rumor du jour at "Grey's". Will this show ever be as dramatic as it is behind the scenes?:rolleyes:

magicalturkey · 09 Dec 08 :: 23:48

Oohhh. Like I said, I haven't watched the show lately and I didn't realize there was something wrong with Dr. Dixon... other than she was a bitch.

So now George and Izzie are gonna be gone?! Well, I guess if something happens to Izzie, they could write in that George was too depressed to continue working there. As long as Sandra Oh doesn't start hating her job, I'll probably still watch it.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 09 Dec 08 :: 23:52

Has anyone ever seen the autistic cow lady? That's who Dixon reminds me of, so I actually like her.

This is her: http://www.templegrandin.com/

And who didn't see Heigl's departure coming? I really do think they're punishing her with the stupid ghostie Denny storyline.

TeeJay · 10 Dec 08 :: 00:18

I hate the Ghost!Denny storyline. It's ridiculous. And it doesn't fit the show at all. I'd hate to see George leaving, though. Although I have to admit it's been a while since he's had a good storyline on the show. I don't mind Dr. Dixon. Sure, she's weird, but at least she's not being rude on purpose.

Oh, and is it just me or does Sadie also remind you a little of Judith?

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 10 Dec 08 :: 20:25

Why is everybody leaving? That totally ruins my favorite show on screen! :crying:
Tina, how many new episodes do you have? I need some new GA stuff. I don't know why, but Numb3rs is the only stuff I have left so far and I currently can't deal with it for whatever reason.

TeeJay · 10 Dec 08 :: 20:43

I have GA until 4x10. The earliest I can send it to you is next Monday.

-TeeJay

domesticelefant · 10 Dec 08 :: 20:59

Okay, that's great. I think I have it until 4x04, but I have to check. I'll email you later. No rush.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 16 Jan 09 :: 04:31

Can I just say how much I adore Ms. Tyne Daly?

magicalturkey · 16 Jan 09 :: 04:42

Lexi's face when she was talking to her was priceless.
