That was the start of a series of truly abominable episodes I could barely watch. As Chief of surgery, that kind of behaviour is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that Derek put Adele on the trial when one of the patients quit was stupid too, considering he himself said there was a waiting list of hundreds of patients fulfilling the criteria for participation, unlike Adele. Oh well, I get that it's a TV drama, but jeez, we who are watching are not morons. The most ridiculous was when Christina-- who claims to be a thorough professional when it comes to medicine, not caring about colleagues and so on-- punched Alex for telling on Meredith. Let's not even get to how (royally) Mer was treated, because I could rant on viciously about that for days.

Meredith was the most unbearable resident in SeattleGraceMercyDeath, IMO. After Meredith screwed up Derek's trial in that asinine way, I was really irritated when Owen said that she was the most 'adored' and Alex appeared to assume the role of a punching bag (literally, in Christina's case.) She never really stood out as a powerful character on the show except maybe the first couple of seasons. Addison was, indeed, a better character whose absence was definitely felt after she left.

Oh great! But when I posted the URL without embedding too, it didn't show up...where am I going wrong?

Agreed! That episode with the death row inmate was powerful and skilfully acted. One of the best episodes. The Izzie-Christina dynamism around the time Izzie told her of the diagnosis was clever and superbly handled by 2 brilliant actors! IMO Denny was one of the worst characters and he ruined those episodes for me. Izzie should have stayed on, but her cutting the LVAD wire was terrible writing and made me despise her after that.

Derek is gone??? NO !!!! I haven't watched the entire seasons 10 and 11 so I don't know exactly...but every one of my favourites are gone. Derek, Bailey and Alex were the last ones left....and now I hear this???

Grey's Anatomy was the first TV series I started watching so I'm always drawn back to the previous seasons which were good. Now it's just a sloppy drama and with Yang gone, it's terrible. I never liked Meredith and I think Pompeo is a bad actress...but that didn't matter because the others carried it off well. I never liked the intern-attending romance plotlines but they were interesting nonetheless. Izzie was one of the best characters on the show but later the writing got so bad that she became whiny and unbearable. Introducing Denny was the worst thing and he was a pathetic bore...Izzie cutting the LVAD wire and whining about it later was just plain terrible. The Izzie-George romance was almost unwatchable and Shonda should've never done that. The unreasonable cutting out of Burke and George were some of the worst moments on the show. The characters that I used to love, like Lexie, Mark, Teddy, George, Burke, Yang are all gone and now Callie, Arizona, Meredith have been reduced to nagging bores. Not to mention appalling plotlines, Jackson's horrible acting and Bailey, who was my favourite character and now is as whiny as the rest of them.

Here are Kathryn, Marko Germar and Phillip in a video I found: https://youtu.be/7Cxxue060A4

Ha! Yes, It's definitely So You Think You Can Contemporary Dance. Which means she will probably not be back (which is sad) but at least she showcased her remarkable skills in Step Up 5! Another one I'd have loved to see in the Top 20 was Mary Poppins.

Not sure why the video isn't showing up as embedded here. Anyway, no subs that I could find. ETA: This kind of thing drives me nuts, so I played around with it and got this - I hope it's the video you wanted. I think your problem was with the "embed" feature, which we don't need here. PM me if you want to discuss further - Bella https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1IsVttxM6U

Yes, Tanisha was eliminated way too early. Valerie was way below par with some of the other contestants in her routines...the only numbers I liked were her tapping dance with Zack (which is her genre anyway) and her pirate number with Ricky. It seemed the choreographers toned down their choreography just to make her look good. Obvious partiality, like in most seasons. Also in season 10, Jenna conquered all styles well, even though she was a ballroom dancer, and she was prematurely eliminated. The judges do have their favourites and probably don't like to criticize them when they need to.

The odds were pretty damn thin, apparently, because it seems Twitch is back as a mentor. TBH, I've seen enough of Twitch already. They should have brought some of the other past contestants to add a freshness to the show. Wouldn't hurt to see Alex Wong, Marko Germar, Joshua Allen, Ivan Koumaev, Jenna, Kayla, Heidi, Ellenore Scott back, would it?

Exactly. How is Jason even a judge on a dance show?! Is he even a heavily cross-trained dancer with years of experience...he and his music are just plain repulsive. And Paula will definitely be going gaga over the dancers' costumes more than critiquing the dance itself. Nigel, as much as I dislike his obvious manipulations on the show, will probably be the saving grace. With Mary gone, ballroom judging will probably be hopeless. You're damn right. The amount of repetitive contemporary numbers on the show, plus the mixing of contemporary with just about everything else, is exasperating. And the 'you're my favourite dancer' thing is just annoying. 'Auntie Scream' was THE only judge whose critiques could be depended upon, IMO. Will miss her terribly.

With Marko, Kathryn, Jasmine.

Marko Germar from season 8 an Emilio from 11 were there too.

Agreed. Allison isn't the best dancer ever that everyone's so gaga about her.
