I would like to know what happened to this show. Alicia Florrick has gone from a good person, whose husband was unfaithful to her, and who began rebuilding her life.... to a hate-filled conniving arrogant woman who sleeps with every male that shows an interest in her (while still pretending to be married, and yelling at her husband for doing the same thing). I don 't know what was going on in JMs' personal life this season, but she's looked like she was recovering from a severe physical illness. All the other co-stars appear to have filmed all their lines for the entire season in one week, while JM is in almost every scene. I would guess each week a different one came in and filmed most of their scenes while the rest slept in. This was a much better show when it seemed more of an ensemble cast. I don't care about Alicia's 3rd try at starting a firm or who she starts it with. I've almost forgotten the other lawyers, paralegals, secretaries, etc. I really miss Elizabeth, Robin and other of the fringe characters. Hopefully I will remember to not watch this show next season.

Absolution I am aware that the advertising pays for the air time of their commercials. My point is that they need to gear the commercials -and the shows they air on- towards the people with money to spend. Which isn't 18 to 49 year olds.

This was a really good show. It should have been on in a different time slot. Putting it on against Persons of Interest, and Chicago Fire did it no favors. As to the Demographic... maybe it wasn't a favorite of those under 40. However, given the last several years, TPTB should rethink their target audience. Millenials and Generation X don't have the buying power they used to. It's the not yet retired Baby Boomers that have the money, and it's the baby boomers who are spending the money to take care of their boomerang children these days. Targeting us with a few shows might be a good idea. It's one that CBS has practiced for a while now.

They wanted to tell Amelia AFTER Meredith arrived at the Grey-Sloan hospital and told her friends, but they had to wait until she finished surgery. However, we have no idea how long that was after Meredith had the machines turned off. Meredith had hours to tell Amelia while Derek was still on life-support. Thanks for the corrections on Zola's condition. I was obviously wrong.

Meredith had better figure out what a family Is. She has 3 children, who have a right to know Their fathers' family. Otherwise, she is just repeating Ellis's mistakes. Amelia was not just living with them, she was providing child care some of the time. This was her brother, she was right there, and deserved to say goodbye. she and Derek's family deserved to know Meredith was pregnant, and to see the kids during this difficult year. The kids deserved to see their aunt. Also Zola deserved to be around her doctors -she is HIV positive?

This maybe the worst episode of Greys anatomy I have ever seen. And is Derek's extended family ever going to get to see those kids?

I don't think it's that. I think that he thinks of his niece as a daughter. He doesn't want to pass her around like a toy to share. He's not going to just toss her to the side so that he can replace her with his 'own' family. He considers the girl his first child. Jaclyn doesn't get the difference between a 'niece' and a niece (or even unrelated child) that you have raised. As someone else said, its as if he is a widower with a child. He doesn't want to be the non-custodial parent. I think his Mom has legal custody, but she is over 70. She depends on Ryan to do a lot of the parenting, the chauffeuring, etc. The producers needed to match him with someone from the local area, where they could live within 15 minutes or so from both sets of families. Because that is what Ryan obviously wants. This conflict wouldn't be happening if Jaclyn was the one with the niece. No one would be expecting her to move an hour away so she could start her 'own' family.

The producers should have never matched people who lived this far apart. Nor should they have expected Ryan to go from living on site with his orphaned Niece to a hour away. He considers that girl his child. In a choice between my child and a stranger - child wins every time.

Just now watching, Meredith has been at this hospital for hours ... And she can't be bothered to call Amelia or any other member of Derek's family so that They can say goodbye before she pulls the plug?

I think Katherine also had a mental illness. They described her as having 'all highs and lows' once she hit puberty. Her parents had her kids because they didn't want them to grow up in a drug infested home. It seemed that Chad wouldn't leave nor ask her to leave, so therefore the parents decided the kids should leave. It was hinted at the pre-intervention that Chad and Katherine had something similar to a co-dependency going on.

Two totally unlikable people. I do sense a difference in the production crew this season - they don't allow these people to get by with as much- such as reporting Katherine to her parents. I don't hold out hope that Mindie will stay clean. I think she has mental issues.

Oh, poor CNN, so torn.... do they cover the protests or the new royal baby? How about they cover the thousands of people dead in Nepal, or any of the other thousands of important stories in the world. We do not need 24 hour coverage of Baltimore. We need SOME coverage of Baltimore and other protests... but it's not the only important news that is affecting peoples' lives. We don't need more than 5 words an hour about the new royal baby (especially here in the US). Maybe I AM old and white, but I consider 'thug' to mean someone that participates in terrorizing (in the traditional sense, not the terrorist sense) individuals by looting, burning cars and structures, by preventing firefighters from putting said fires out, by injuring over a 100 police officers, or by any of the methods that criminals use to intimidate victims before they actually commit a crime against them. I could care less about their race. I realize labels are controversial.... but thug is a much quicker, less wordy way to say all the stuff I just typed when I defined the word. I totally get the points people are making about the poverty and lack of opportunities in the neighborhood, but that doesn't give anyone a pass on doing what they did Monday night. When those events happen, the perpetrators shift from being poverty stricken unemployed individuals into criminals. For what it's worth, I welcome charges against the officers - although I wonder if all six can be found guilty of anything besides unlawful arrest if the actual event happened in the van in the presence of only one of them and after the other 5s' involvement ceased.

Terra and Joe by themselves are actually adults with love for their baby. But. The previews for next week bring them back to jerks. Christy doesn't start any more/ less drama than they do.

Regarding epilepsy (or seizure disorder). diagnosis and prognosis. Our son had an unexplained seizure at 6, had an abnormal EEG, normal MRI, was on medicine for 2years. weaned off, and declared no more at risk than anyone else. At 15, he had another. This time, a seizure disorder diagnosis was given (because it was the second seizure in his lifetime), again, abnormal EEG, normal MRI, medicine. 4 years later, they were discussing weaning off the medicine. He went off to college, forgot his meds, and had a seizure, this cycle was repeated over the next 3 years. Note to others: a sudden stoppage of medicine for even a couple days can result in seizures (yes, plural). A repeat of the MRI was done, just to see if better technology showed anything, it did not. He is left with taking medicine the rest of his life, and risking seizures if/when he forgets to take it - or when he gets any of several risk factors (lack of sleep, illness, stress, alcohol, and so forth). Can he drive? Not right now, his last seizure was less than 6 months ago. Will he drive then? Unknown, his license was cancelled as he is thought to have had a seizure while driving - so who knows when he will get it back. Can he work? I'm proud to say he has a bachelors degree and just got a fantastic job, and the company knew about his condition when they hired him. It helps that he got the job in a big metropolitan area and can take the bus to work. Are there a lot of people worse off? Yes, he's had a total of 8 seizures in his lifetime. There are lots of people who have more than that in an afternoon. Josie appears to be closer to my son's status - but I think she has other disabilities.

This has become one of those shows that you've grown to hate but you want to say you watched it till the end. Please let the end come soon.

People with seizure disorders can drive, if they have been seizure free for a period of time (which varies by state), and a doctor agrees their seizures are under control. If a seizure then happens outside of a vehicle, they are to refrain from driving for that period of time. If the seizure happens while they are driving, their license can be cancelled. Presumably, they can get it back once the required period of time has passed with no more seizures and the doctor agrees. Josie had a seizure, Jana says she has had 3 or 4, James has seen it often enough to recognize what it is. As a parent of an epileptic, I can tell you a seizure disorder diagnosis is 2 or more seizures in your lifetime. Period. Regardless of what Michelle wants to call it. Can Josie go for years between seizures, unmedicated. Sure, and she can also start having seizures more often. Jana was on the fire department.... she should have been able to get thru the actual seizure better, and the dispatcher didn't do her job either... Josie on her back at the sink, where she could roll off the counter. As for Michelle and Jim Bob.... it doesn't matter where they were. Josie(regardless of what Jana said), was breathing, and was not dying. She was most likely seizure free by the time she got to the hospital, and was just sleepy afterwards. She would have been fine by the time they got there even if it was a few hours later that day. They knew that....because they know she has a seizure disorder. Parents of epileptics have a right to leave their house.

This father is very selfish. It's obvious he left all those years ago because he didnt want to be a Dad...and still doesn't. He read the letter, but didnt mean it. Yes, he threw money at her - but that was so no one would look askance at Him, not because he loves her.

I think Terra was probably not allowed to carry Penny yet even though she can pick her up out of the bassinet. I don't know why Joe didnt put the baby in a carrier and then help Terra.

I am surprisingly liking Terra and Joe in this version of the show. They are actually normal people instead of foul mouthed smug jerks.

I agree that Daniel wanted to take care of his Dad - but I don't agree that it should have been done. He was a 18-20 year old. That responsibility should not have been expected of him, and I think, contributed to his downfall afterwards. I hold to my opinion that Daniels step-dad is Not a nice guy. I think Mom said what she said about step-dad not being involved because he was not a good step-dad. I wish my Mom had stepped between us and our stepdad - who made our childhood miserable. I am now in my 50s, with adult children, and I am very well aware our childhood didn't have to be the way it was. No one stepped up for us, and I am glad Daniels Mom stood up to stepDad.

Alisha's Mom has a borderline mental illness, obviously has been in treatment for it.... and is still unable to acknowledge her worst sins regarding Alisha. What she feels guilty about is 'discussing our infidelities with the children'. Not one apology for involving her daughter in prostitution and exotic dancing, and most likely, drugs. Since Alisha learned about the real drugs from one of the exotic dancers. Daniel's episode: His stepfather is obviously a control freak. Obsessing about a teenager playing with their younger siblings when the siblings were 11. Daniel should not have been expected to be his father's sole caregiver at 18. Also, his Dad's marker said he was born in 1943. Daniel is 27, so his Dad was 70-ish when he died. I hope the Mom left Daniels' step-Dad, she had obviously had enough of his behavior towards Daniel - that was why she left the pre-intervention. Usually the show offers treatment for the significant other, but not for Sarah? Was that because she either had other issues (psych ward), or had the financial resources to get to rehab if she wanted? Zachary (brother-in-law) had more feelings for Daniel (even though conflicted) than the step-Dad did.

Brad didnt seem all that unhappy with his life - he seemed to get by without resorting to crime (other than illegal drug use). He didnt care about his daughter - she cared about him. He didnt care about his siblings or Mom except for what they could do for him. I think Jeff had it right - Whitney was and had been into it just like Zach. I hope Zach can stay sober - he may have to distance himself and his son from her. Not expecting Theresa to stay sober or survive - cirrhosis of the liver and all.

He was also the interventionist for the guy that refused to fly - so they drove and the addict ran off during a stop

I don't like the Skype stuff - it all seems forced and fake. Can the show not afford the visit to the facility? They have always done public flights, haven't they? Usually they give them stuff to keep them calm. Never seen them allowing the addict to have drugs once they get in the van.

Still wondering why the reunion show hostess is so busy calling Christy out that she loses control of the show to Terra, Tonya, and Joe. All 3 wretched people. How about calling them out instead. Not sure if Matt and Briana were still engaged during the cheating. But Christy was right about the drinking - now that the DUI came up.
