Surprisingly, I'm enjoying how they're dealing with George/Izzie this season. I hated it last year and there's still a big part of me that despises what they did to what was one a wonderful platonic relationship. However, since I've accepted it's happened, I think they're handling it well.

I was frustrated with Callie at the beginning of the ep, when she told George she forgave him because she deserves so much more than what he gave her. But by the end of the episode I think she figured that out for herself, so I'm with her. I really wish they would give her more of a bond with some other character on the show. I want some happiness for her.

I also thought Alex's reaction was great and perfectly in-character.

Agreed with all of this. I don't watch GA regularly and missed most of last year, but I've been catching bits of the last few episodes (and all of this week's). I shipped George and Izzie from the beginning though. (Alex's reaction was really sweet, and I liked them together too.)

You know, that's funny because I watched the first couple of episodes when they first aired and thought George and Izzie should hook up. But then when I started watching it regularly during the second season, I realized I preferred them as friends.

And I liked Alex and Izzie, together, too. Too bad they never went anywhere real with them.

I'm still a bit in the "Why did they mess up the one FRIENDSHIP on the show and it came out of nooooowhere!" point of view, but I'm getting used to it.

I agree with you, I think they are doing a decent job of handling it as well. I also agree that Callie should have SOME friends. She's completely alone while everyone else has someone to talk to. I can't believe that she wouldn't have a single friend, somewhere.

I loved when she took a bite out of the dead girl's boyfriend because he was an ASS and barely registered guilt or anything over her death. I knew it was inappropriate as hell, but still loved it.

I was surprised at Alex when it was happening and then a moment later went, "Yep, that's how Alex would be." I forgot who Alex was after being used to all these other characters. Alex has been in the back of all the story lines, even when he had the Eva plot, I felt like we learned very little about him as a person. His history and why he's such an asshole. I can make assumptions, but I wish they'd reveal more as they've done with the rest of the cast. We've met their parents or family and we know nothing about Alex's family.

I know, this is an unpopular opinion, but I hated Eva. I didn't think she was a very good actress at all. I can't believe she got a Golden Globe. UGH! And now, I'm all mad because they are bringing her back. Double UGH!

Um. I melted when Derek was all, "I want to marry you...have babies with you...all that other wonderful stuff blah." Which made me all, "Pick me! Love me! Choose me!" But alas...tv show! Then Meredith tried to run away and I'm getting real tired of this Mer/Der thing. Can't they pretend to be happy for just a MOMENT. Please?

um... oh! Keep that damn Lexie away from Derek. They have too much chemistry with the little interaction they have, if they honestly make something out of them I'm going to just...just...I don't know! But it'll be BAD.

I kind of hated Adele in this episode, but I knew where she was coming from. I also was like,"Richard! You're chief of staff! Stand up for yourself!" Then I realized that he felt so horrid about his niece that he probably felt he had to right to stand up for himself. He did the right thing though. Who, when faced with their 3rd round of cancer, 12 doctors, 7 experimental drugs, all the other stuff, and around a 2% chance of surviving goes, "Oh. That's me! I'm right on top of that, let's conquer it!" No, she's tired and she wants to live the little remainder of her life not barfing on chemo and being so weak she can't do anything.

Wow, this kind of turned into a whole THING. And I couldn't stop saying little quotes and stuff. EEK! LOL

That's right! You didn't like Ava either! And I also didn't like that one because that was another friendship that I didn't see anything romantic in. I've been trying to resign myself to it because I know she's coming back, possibly for quite a few episodes, and I DO want Alex to be happy!

Didn't they say at one time that Alex's father abused his mother and that Alex fought back once and his dad took off, never to be seen again? That's all I remember hearing about his backstory.

And I loved Callie's speech to the boyfriend, too, because my heart just broke for her. George has never treated her right. I've seen a lot of people suggestion that something happen with her and McSteamy and I could go for that. (He's another character I want to know more about it.)

And I'm SO sick of Derek/Meredith angst. I know they're going to be together eventually, so this drama is just so annoying. I think Shonda said nothing would happen between Lexie and Derek, but it sounds like they're bringing in another love interest for him. *sigh* (And, much to my surprise, I've found myself liking Lexie.)

I kind of hated Adele, too. For the reason you said, and, also, she's been sick since she was 14--they should've been somewhat more accepting! (Plus, they used a different actress for the niece, which really took me out of the moment.)

And, see, write a long comment, and you get a long one in return. :)
