I recently watched some old episodes of TNG and a couple things stood out. 1) Manny was the best developed character and she was a really great friend to her classmates and Darcy. 2) Paige's shorthand lingo gets really bad in her later seasons and its gets even more grating when Alex develops it too. 3) They really should have fleshed out Marco's character arc in college and made him suffer depression. It would have made sense after the gambling and gay prostitution epiosdes. Plus it would have been interesting to see how Ellie and Paige would of have dealt with it since Marco was pretty much always there for them.

I think season 1 & 2 hold up really well. In retrospect, the season 3 finale minues Marissa being killed could of served as a series finale and I would of been happy with it. Even when I watch it now the first 45 minutes has a series finale tone to it not a season finale tone.

I feel like the drop of quality for me happened when they made George repeat his intern year. He was never my favorite character, but the way TR potrayed him was unwatachble. His acting was so bad in season 4 I was happy when they started phasing him out in season 5. Of course his acting improved in the second half of season 5. Another thing, rewatching the show they really have ruined Arizona's character the last couple of seasons. In season 5 and 6 she is so likeable and dare I say professional? The Callie/Arizona/Mark might of been the second drop in quality for me after making George repeating his intern year.

I have also been rewatching Grey's. I forgot how much of an ass Alex was to Izzie in the early seasons. I personally like Alex more than Izzie, but I have no idea why I was such a fan of the couple first time I watched. Going through each season a couple of weeks at a time its hard to see Izzie declare 3 different men "the love of her life." I feel like Alex and Izzie were together based on physcial appearences.

It was alright I sort of wished Burke had showed up to Grey-Sloan and interacted with the rest of the cast. I did laugh at the tell Meredith I say hi, but than it got annoying. When Webber found out Cristina was in Zurich I totally thought he knew Burke was there and that's why he got so angry.

I'm really tired of the board telling Jackson what to do. Do any of these people realize they would be at other jobs right now if they it were not owned by the foundation? Seriously, Jackson should tell the Avery Foundation to either fire some of the board members or take there money out.

Question: Did Catherine Avery say in the episode with April's post-nuptial agreement that the Avery's own mutiple hostpitals? If so, maybe that is why it was not a conflcit interest.

At first I thought it was a call back to season 6 when Callie wanted to talk about having children in the future and said we need to talk. Arizona then asked if she was sleeping with Mark. I really wish they would give Callie/Arizona a break. I feel like if one of them does get pregnant and anything goes wrong with the pregnancy it will break both of them. I thought this episode was out of character for Jackson. I do not remember him ever bringing up his money before. I am talking about not eating leftover food and not doing his laundry. I mean if he was so rich why was he living with Meredith? Also, wasnt the reason Alex/April/Jackson moved in together was so they could afford the bigger apartment in season 8?

I watched seasons 1-9 of Degrassi TNG. I would say in the earlier seaons they casted actors and actress who looked their age. The actors who played Emma, Spinner Liberty and JT and even Drake did not look like model like at first. They looked like ordinary teens who were going though their awkward phase. I think when they casted the guy who played Peter is when they started casting actors for there looks.

I graduated college in May and majority of my friends have the DVDs. My sister who is still in high school watches the re-runs all the time.

I really hope this whole Callie/Jo mentor relationship is not some set up for Arizona or Jo to find out about Alex's interest to go into the private practice through Callie by one of them mentioning it to her. I thought the scene of Callie telling Arizona about her girl crush might be my favorite Callie scene of the season. I do help if Alex does leave the hospital he talks to Arizona about it before he does it because of what happened with the whole Hopkins situation.

I recently re-watched Seasons 1-6. I use to love Alex and Izzie together before she left him. During my re-watch after the whole cheating with Olivia I do not see how either of them are each others "soulmate". Izzie pretty much falls in love with Denny & George. The only thing i've come up with is the fact Alex and Izzie are both physically attractive. I dont think we ever really go to see them devlop as a couple. I like Alex so much better with Jo because we got to see why he likes Jo. I dont think we ever really go to see that with Izzie and vice versa.
