    I cant really blame her for being upset that Lea might have given her bad advice on her sons treatment because Shaun is her boyfriend

     

    I can't fault her either. Someone going through that with their child would be upset and that would boil over into everything going on during that time. However, it was odd how she was fine with a random woman who is an IT Director's medical advice/opinion before she knew she was Shaun's girlfriend.

    Claire was wrong to get upset with him in the surgery. Andrews, their boss, was even more wrong to coolly challenge Claire with his NRA card.

    All of them were wrong for having the discussion then and not focusing on the child who was about to die. I find Andrews most at fault. He is the high ranking, seasoned professional. He should have immediately put a stop to the chatter but instead fed into it with his NRA comments.

    I don't know if this is completely accurate, but both Futon Critic and SpoilerTV are saying the finale is on May 26, a week later than originally announced

    I think it's because next week is preempted because the President is speaking Wednesday night. 

  3. After the very beginning of the show where Bailey had Meredith jump through hoops for an episode relationships with coworkers wasn't an issue (that I can recall) until Alex & Jo. It's been forever but I recall them faking a breakup and having to sign forms with HR. It never mattered for anyone else. At this point in the show it's happened so much that it's barely a blip for me. 

    When Meredith was in between life & death in S3 she returned remembering. She told people she spoke to Denny. She knew her mother was dead. IIRC, there was a talk with Denny where she even learned things about people she didn't know. IMO, it was portrayed as a near death experience. Because of that I took this to be the same. In both she chatted with various dead people then returned after talking to them.

    Derek called his sister Amelia instead of Amy.

    Yes, I noticed that too. I found the conversation about Amelia annoying. Meredith saying kids get stronger after struggling when losing a parent and Derek saying "or they're Amelia" and they both laugh. Glad they got a chuckle from a 5 year old watching her father die then having addiction issues later in life. At least Meredith did say she's doing better now. Good thing seeing how Amelia has been one of the people who has been helping care for her kids for years now.

    The scenes with Zola were very good, the best of the episode for me.

    I enjoyed seeing the departed characters but I'm glad the beach is (hopefully) done. I hope they do a bit of a time jump to move the vaccinated COVID world. I appreciate they wanted to show the struggles but the show is a pit of depression most of the time. Other shows have shown the impact of COVID but moved to other stories instead of drowning in it week after week.

    Did anyone understand why Naima had a giant wad of money in her purse?  I'm pretty sure she controls the finances in that house so if she was moving money to a new account for her and the kids, why wouldn't she just do that electronically?  Why would you ever have that much cash in your purse?

    I guess because it's possible for electronic accounts to be tracked. I took it as her wanting the cash if she felt unsafe enough to want to leave with the kids without warning. 

    Agree with above that Stella is being shown as too perfect. She can't keep that up for too long. Wouldn't be shocked if Clay came home in the finale and she's gone or something.

    Lexie touched her, so she could still die.

    When Meredith died/hung out in the afterlife way back in season 3 she touched a lot of dead people (and her dead dog) and popped back. Of course there's no way to know if the dead surgical floor and the dead beach work the same so time will tell, lol.

    I wish there was a moment with Mark and Derek too but so many dead, so little time. Meredith and Lexie falls flat for me because Meredith never appeared close to her and barely said a word when she died. But I did enjoy seeing both Mark and Lexie.

    I’m serious asking this question, would an alcoholic have an easier or more difficult time spotting another alcoholic.  On one hand, they know the signs.  On the other, some people can drink heavily and just stop for some reason without any addiction.  It’s completely possible Link has been drinking heavily but still can just stop.  

    I think Amelia's reaction was because the bottle was hidden. Alcoholics/addicts often hide their addiction & I think that is what set her off. At the end when they talked she said "no more secrets". I don't think she really has an issue with Link having a drink or going off to play his guitar & have one. It's that she felt like he was keeping it a secret. I was glad to see them actually have a conversation and move past it. Often on Grey's no one talks to each other.

    What gets me though is that all along, and still this season - even the most recent episode - Meredith says her happy place is the hospital.  If they end the season with her dying or getting better and quitting, or anything other than her back doing a ground breaking surgery, it won't be an "end" for the character, IMO.  

    I didn't mean her leaving forever. I meant leaving having recovered fully from COVID surrounded by her family & hospital family. Would be a contrast to how she started, walking in alone. Of course there could be 17 more seasons LOL.

    Ending with this season would be depressingly awful.  Not that the show is that great anymore, but it still deserves better.

    Agree. But I could also see them ending - leave Meredith on the beach and cycle through as many dead characters as they can, give everyone else tidbits to wrap them up and end with Meredith leaving the hospital surrounded by her family. It's dead beach going on so long that makes me think that.

  9. Wasn't a fan. I agree with many of the posts already made about how much better it could have been done so that Alex wasn't shredded in the process. I loved Alex & Izzie way back when & I loved Alex & Jo these past few years. Now I want Jo to rip up the letter, sell the shares & live it up without an ounce of mourning or guilt.

    Quote

    Now they can really complicate thing, make Jo pregnant and have her keep it a secret from Alex.

    Well its Grey's & Owen seems to father the majority of the children so I think its more likely Jo will sleep with Owen. She's reeling from being dumped via a letter & Teddy just cheated on Owen. Presto! Another kid for Owen. (I just made myself a bit sick from typing that - I am joking).

    I am proud of how Vanessa handled herself “I wouldn’t like myself very much if I agreed to that.” - GOOD FOR YOU GIRL. Emilio, damn man, so you want all the benefits of being exclusive (like sex without condoms), but want to be able to dump Vanessa when something better comes along without guilt. Vanessa deserves better. (I know she’s still a cast member and they will likely get back together sometime but Emilio has a lot of making up to do for that sentence)

     

    I think Vanessa is going to be the Kirsten of this series. If you didn't watch the original Kirsten was the nanny. She was initially either engaged or married, I can't remember. Bailey had a crush on her but she & Charlie hit it off. My memories are fuzzy & I don't remember how long it was until she and Charlie got together. 

    I had extremely low expectations going in. I like the show quite a bit so far. I'm in for the season.

  11. The Page Six claims offer an explanation but it still seems odd; the lack of well wishes, etc.  They could have had Alex's mom need him and have him off screen until the finale or til next season. Its not like they give him major storyline anyway.

    If he needed help I am glad he is getting it, regardless of the issue.

    The article stating that "there is a lot going on with Grey's Anatomy behind the scenes right now" made me laugh. What else is new! 

    Haha that was my immediate thought as well. Its been just about every season.

  12. Popping back to say I wish Justin nothing but the best. Unless he did something completely heinous (& I struggle to believe that) there is no reason not to give him some kind of decent exit. Pure guess -  He came back early from his visit & Alex is the driver of the car that drove the bar & they'll kill him off. It would be so Grey's.

    Wait do you know who the first actor was?  I know the show is a toddler in TV series years but I still can’t see anyone but David as Jason.

    ‘Course, while I never watched “Angel”, “Bones” is one of my favorite shows of ALL TIME so like someone else said, my residual love for David is strong.  Even if he loves all things Philly.

    I get the sad stories but both my brothers where in the military and both came out and had very successful careers. So Military life is not all doom, gloom, and action.


    I agree, that is the case in real life. The show mainly focuses on the portions of their lives that immediately surround (& during) the missions. IMO we don't see the stretches of time when life is more normal for them. IMO, I don't think its much different than a medical show having surgeons perform ground breaking surgeries every week, lawyers in court arguing huge cases every week, etc. All the drama is heightened. I also don't think the show started all military and nothing with their lives - we saw Jason struggling personally after Nate died in episode 1. JMO.

    Yeah that's basically info from the sides so there are still surprises to be had.

    Are the sides the only reason why its being said that he doesn't appear after episode 8? I haven't read them for Jane but if the sides are like other shows its very possible for Michael to be on the show & not in the sides.

    Maybe my family was freakish, but do people really do zero planning for 18 years and then decide to go to a private fine arts school in a different state and take on $200k-$300k in loans so they can maybemake $30-40k when they graduate?

    I'm not convinced Emma thought about going to school in NYC prior to Alana dying. I think part of her wanting to get away is tied to her being afraid Jason is going to die too. She lost her mom unexpectedly & her dad has a job where he is always in danger.  IMO, at least part of it is that she wants distance.

    I don't think Jason will sell the house. I think seeing a problem and looking for the way to blow right through it is consistent with Jason.I hope Emma stays. I think there could be decent story going forward. Jason dealing with his kids after leaving most of it to Alana gives him some personal conflict that isn't another romance on the show. Emma being 18 & having opinions that differ from her father give a family dynamic that is different than Ray's with small children.

    Unforgivably, and ridiculously, Blackburn never said anything to the team he knew was waiting to hear annnything about Clay.  He waits until he's taken to the airbase and is in the air before he comes out of the surgical area?  Absurdly outrageous

    Especially after all the talk about the brotherhood throughout the episode. 5 hearts beating as 1- well until 1 is injured then you can stand in hall & you'll see him when you get back to the states.  At a minimum there should have been a scene with them watching Clay be wheeled out after Blackburn told them he was leaving.

    Quote

    Wondering if Clay ever changed his emergency contact info or will we see Stella getting a call and having to decide whether to go to Clay's side or break ties completely


    I think we'll see his father, mainly because the actress who plays Stella went to another show didn't she?

    It's Kevin's house and he is the one who wanted to help Nicky. Maybe he's staying with Kevin and sitting by Rebecca's bedside, presumably in her last stage of life isn't surprising at all.

    I agree with you, I think Nicky is staying with Kevin and that's why he is there. Perhaps he & Rebecca bonded & he's sitting with her while Kevin went out to get the food.

    I don't think Kate is dead. I think she & Toby have split and Kate is bringing Jack. If Kevin bought the house after they split that would explain why Toby never saw it. We also don't know how long Kevin has had the house. He could have bought it a month ago for all we know.

    A few nitpicks but overall I liked the finale.

    My question is this:  Did others think that the first couple of episodes of Season 2 were a bit off, but stuck with it and found that it got better?  Or, if I wasn't into it then, will I probably not be into it now because the entire season is more of the same as the first couple of episodes?

    I've watched the whole way through. I found season 2 a bit off the rails but it got better towards the end of the season. And, season 3 was good.

    Smash Williams is the assistant priest! I don't think I've seen Gaius Charles in anything aside from a guest spot on SVU since Friday Night Lights ended

    He went to theology college after FNL and didn't act for awhile. He was on Grey's Anatomy for a couple of seasons afterwards. Its great to see him here. I'm interested to see how it all plays out.

    I'm really enjoying this show. I never expected to like it and now I look forward to it every week.
