The whiny little bitch that fucked up his own career and is now looking for someone else to pay for it. Asshole.

Fantastic
Isaiah Washington just figured out a way to make me like him even less. Fantastic. The notorious homophobe and all around douche-bag is now suing Grey's Anatomy. That's right, suing. Why? No, it's not about that incident with T.R Knight, or him getting fired. He's suing because Grey's Anatomy featured his image in a newspaper clipping on last week's episode. Yeah, Grey's Anatomy portrayed the character of Dr. Preston Burke (who they own) in a newspaper clipping announcing that the character (who they own) had won a prestigious award. And now, Isaiah is suing. Sorry, but I really don't think he has a case, considering he signed his life over to them when he decided to be a part of the show and be the character that they made up. Personally, I think he's looking for any excuse to get the money that he should have gotten from the show, you know, had he not completely fucked it up by gay bashing his co-star. Too bad.

Another Poll For My Lovely Readers
Recently, Katherine Heigl has once again taken up her fight to get out of her contract with ABC to leave the show that made her famous, Grey's Anatomy. This is only the third time I have heard about Katherine trying to ditch the show for a glamorous movie career. She first threatened to leave the show over a salary dispute when the show was relatively new. Then she wanted to leave the show for her budding movie career, even though she referred to one of the movies that sky-rocketed her to fame as sexist, and was an alternative option for the lead role in another one after the director's first choice bowed out. Katherine Heigl is pretty much an all around spoiled little brat who, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to leave the show that brought her fame and recognition. Katherine has been acting in two-bit movies and unknown roles since 1992. Now that she's finally famous, she's all too eager to shit all over the show that got her there. So what do you think about Katherine leaving Grey's? Is the show better off without her or is the loss of Isobel Stevens going to be disastrous for the show? Share your thoughts in a poll!
By Far The Best Episode I Have Seen In a While
Well done, Grey's Anatomy. You are finally back on top again. You know what you're doing and I love it. You've been giving a few lackluster episodes for the past couple weeks, but this past week, you have renewed my faith in the beacon of awesomeness that is and always will be Grey's Anatomy.
Now, the episode kicks off with a ghostly reminder of a past character; Dr. Preston Burke. He has won some kind of super special, hard to actually attain, surgical award. Now, being the good friends they all are, Mer, Izzie and George do their best to shield Cristina from discovering the news that has been posted on the Bulletin Board. However, once she sees it, she is immediately overcome with a mixture of hurt and jealousy. She barely pays attention while Dr. Hahn explains a super rare case of a patient in need of a heart transplant, who just happens to be in a plastic bubble to shield her from infection in the weeks before her transplant. Dr. Hahn notices Cristina's absolute lack of interest and asks if she would rather be in the morgue today. Cristina, to everyone's surprise, agrees to go to the morgue, where she... get this... SINGS. Like a Virgin by Madonna, to be exact.
Izzie's continues to serve absolutely no purpose this episode. She is the only one who knows that Ava isn't actually pregnant with Alex's baby, and yet, she doesn't tell him because it would be entirely unethical to reveal her patient's test results to someone who is not her patient... even if it is Alex. And even if Alex is getting ready to throw his whole life away on a lie.
Meredith's therapy is going fairly well, until her therapist explains to her that the sentence "He's with Rose" [he being McDreamy] should bother her. Because everyone, apparently even her therapist, knows that Meredith should be with McDreamy, not Rose. However, Meredith is hell bent on being totally okay with McDreamy and Rose as a couple, despite her incredible need for McDreamy getting in the way of her working functionally with him. They are now on their fifth clinical trial tumor patient, who just happens to be a gay soldier. None of their trial cases have survived and McDreamy believes it is because they haven't saturated the tumor enough with the virus. And so, they plan to inject the virus in two places of the tumor, however, they have to inject the tumor at exactly the same time... to be completely in sync. And there is this incredible moment during the procedure where Meredith is injecting the tumor with the virus too quickly and McDreamy tells her to look at him and they eventually sync up completely just with their unspoken connection. Ah, it was fantastic.
But, the part that actually made me cry was the love story the two gay soldiers. It was so tragic and beautiful. Since they are both in the Army, it is impossible for them to be openly in love. Don't ask, Don't tell policy and all that. Not to mention the soldier-with-the-brain-tumor's homophobic father. Anyways, the father catches the two of them making out and banishes his son's boyfriend from the room. But he doesn't leave, he just waits downstairs. The soldier with the brain tumor has an opportunity to talk to him before he goes into surgery, but he refuses the offer because he thinks he is protecting his lover by not outing him with the Sergeant right there. (i'm not entirely sure why he is present there, but whatever). Unfortunately, the soldier dies in surgery and there is this heart wrenching moment when his father allows his boyfriend in for one last time to say goodbye. And he bends and kisses him so tenderly that it just broke my heart.
Adelle, the chief's wife, is apparently the nurse's union representative. The nurses are on strike because McSteamy is such a man whore and has slept with pretty much every nurse in the hospital. And so, to avoid a lawsuit, Adelle suggests that every employee in the hospital record every sexual relationship they have had with any other Seattle Grace Employee. Hilarity, of course, ensues. First, the Chief enlists George to be "intern to the Chief", an entirely fictional position, but a great way to convince his wife that he isn't as busy at the hospital anymore and that he may be changing for the better. Basically, he uses George to try to win back his wife. George's mission, as the Chief's intern, is to go around collecting all the sex forms from all the employees. Rose awkwardly tries to explain to George that she doesn't need a form, because well, she's not sleeping with McDreamy, but she quickly changes her mind when McSteamy reams her out for using sex as a weapon and a way to keep McDreamy interested. She then hunts George down to ask for a form, and then sets off to find McDreamy so they can go home for the night together. But, burn of all burns, McDreamy wants to stay at the hospital with Meredith for "the patient". The Chief singles Bailey out as the only one to not fill out the form because he assumes since she's a single mother that she is never going to get laid ever and that the very idea that she could be sleeping with someone else in the hospital is funny. She, obviously, goes on one of her Bailey tirades and rips the chief a new one. Alex, forgets to put Lexie's name down on his form, which immediately enrages Lexie. Not exactly an unreasonable reaction, since no one really wants to think that they are forgettable in bed.
Callie and McSteamy are still doing the horizontal tango, but after being called out for being a man-whore, he wants something more with Callie; someone to talk to. Callie is having no part of it, as she only really wants his body, and not to hear him speak. Hahn is pissed that Callie is blowing her off, but surprise of all surprises, it's not because she wants in Callie's pants, it's because she doesn't have friends and got used to Callie's camaraderie. Crazy, I know.
This episode was crazy good. This is the first episode since the second season to actually make me tear up. I commend the writers for doing such an amazing job this week. And even the previews for next week look awesome. Ah, the Grey's I always knew and loved is slowly returning to us. And thank the TV Lord above for that.

Patrick Dempsey on Ellen
Patrick Dempsey was on Ellen this past week and in case you missed it, of course, your friendly neighborhood blogger has it for you. Honestly, I could never get enough of Patrick... not even if I tried, so I can only hope you appreciate him as much as I do. I can only assume you do since most of you (over half) decided you would want McDreamy operating on you in surgery in a recent poll.
So here it is, the clip of Patrick Dempsey on Ellen.
So here it is, the clip of Patrick Dempsey on Ellen.
I have no idea what to caption this with because 1) it's kind of self explanatory and 2) if you don't know who Patrick Dempsey is, I just do not know what to do with you.

Hope
The theme for this week's Grey's Anatomy was hope. You know, kind of like the feeling you felt as day by day went by without a recap of the last episode. But fear not loyal readers, finals are slowly coming to a close and with it, more free time to devote to Grey's.
Let's begin with Addison. She returned to Seattle Grace this week with a new and improved L.A outlook on life. Which she expressed through hugs. Hugs for Meredith (who stole her husband) and hugs for Alex (who she slept with and experienced much awkwardness with). She even had a Ghandi quote or two for Izzie. I understand the surgical purpose she served this week, but what other purpose did she serve really? To remind everyone of all the awful stuff that has happened? Perhaps the most awkward moment was when she proudly declared what a happy couple Mer and Der made when she first saw them in the hospital. Yeah, that was a fun moment for all involved. In addition, she stirred up all the feelings Bailey has been trying to hide about her husband moving out of the house. And finally, she pointed out to Callie that she and Erica were acting as if they were a couple. And Callie, being thoroughly weirded out by this decided to act all crazy and go sleep with McSteamy at the end of the episode to... i don't know, prove she was straight or something. Hahn, obviously, looked on with growing jealousy. The practical reasons for Addison being there was a baby who's heart was developing outside of it's body. And, though I was sure this 'visit' was going to be the segue to reincorporating Addison into the show, she ultimately refused the Chief's offer to let her return.
Now onto Meredith and Derek. They are working together on a clinical trial to cure Brother A's (from last week) tumor, which is gradually getting worse. Before they go into surgery, Brother A is completely blind and trying to hook up his wife with hot, single doctors. Mer and Der are completely professional the entire time, though Derek reminds Meredith not to get her hopes up about this experimental surgery. And although he is obviously referring to the actual surgery, I can't be sure he wasn't figuratively referring to their relationship.
May I point out that there was almost no reference or screen time to Derek and McSlutty nurse at all except for a moment when Addison asked who McDreamy was banging now, and McSlutty happened to be standing right next to her. Awkward moment #5 for Addison.
Ava (or Rebecca, if you rather) returned to get a pregnancy test. Oh, and guess who she thinks the father is?! That's right, our very own Karev. Turns out, she's not really pregnant after all, though neither of them know that, and Karev spends the day getting emotional over babies and the prospect of being a daddy. Though, of course, he's not half as sensitive to Ava about it.
Cristina continually tries to steal the sparkle pager awarded to Meredith in the last episode, so that she could get in on Hahn's surgeries. Hahn is still being a cold hard bitch to Cristina, and flat out refuses to teach her, praise her or congratulate her. Hell, she barely maintains courtesy. Cristina demands to know why and Hahn is once again condescending, but she later admits to Addison that Cristina reminds her of herself at that age. Why that's a bad thing, I have no idea.
Izzie tries too hard to fit in with George and his intern friends. But obviously, the interns don't really want to hang out with their boss. Again, Izzie feels inadequate. And reckons that feeling of inadequacy by finally acting like a boss while her interns watch. She essentially tells a patient to shut it so she can explain all her options. By the way, the patient is an HIV patient who happens to get pregnant. Expecting that there is no way she could have this baby without passing it to the baby, she assumes her only option is abortion. Since Izzie is too nice, the first time she explains the alternate options, she doesn't really get the point across that there is a 98% chance that the baby will be born completely healthy with the right prenatal care. I don't know about you guys, but I think Izzie is starting to lose her usefulness. Yes, she was always the surgeon with the best bedside manner, but now she doesn't even do that right. She is constantly second guessing herself, feeling inadequate to the residents, but out of place with the interns. She really should just stop trying to fit in and be the Izzie that I know and love. Go fall in love with another patient, sweetie. Please.
Really, that's it. It was a boring episode. And even though I was actually pretty busy for the past couple of days, this episode was so boring that I sort of dreaded having to write a review for it.

The lovers and "leave her"s
Wednesday, April 30, 2008
When you think Disney, you obviously think... Grey's?
Disney has decided to release the blu-ray disc of Grey's Anatomy, starting with the complete fourth season, to be released September 9, 2008. They're starting with the fourth, and (i'm guessing) working their way back. All I know is they plan to release all seasons, starting with the fourth. And just in case you aren't a fan of blu-ray, the run-of-the-mill DVD of Grey's Anatomy fourth season is being released the same day.
September 9th, 2008. Mark your calendars!
Awww, my favorite couple.
Awww, my favorite couple.
Spoiler Alert
Now that our beloved show is back on TV, the internet is practically flooded with spoilers about the upcoming episodes. The newest spoiler to hit the internet involves two of our favorite doctors, Callie and McSteamy. Yes, it has been done before. Sure, they've already done the nasty, but the latest rumors are that Callie and McSteamy are going to take their naughty extra-curricular activities and make it legit by becoming an actual couple. This latest bit of information has many implications.
Callie and Hahn are probably not going to be a couple.
unless, of course, Grey's Anatomy takes it to a level they've only flirted with in certain character's fantasies: the threesome. However, how all three of them can carry on a real relationship with each other is kind of beyond me. You see, this isn't Hedda Gabler, and triangular relationships are just not done these days, as far as I'm aware. (I'm sorry for that literary reference. I just took my Lit Final...)
The writers might be gearing up to have Callie and Hahn fight over McSteamy.
and wouldn't that just be the craziest plot line. I don't really see Hahn lowering herself enough to get involved in a chick fight over a piece of man candy. And really, let's be honest, McSteamy does not need anyone to boost his ego. He clearly already thinks pretty highly of himself.
The Hahn-McSteamy hints that the writers have been dropping will probably cease
and thank the holy lord for that. That relationship is like the stuff of my nightmares. Hahn is scary. Like, really scary. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be surprised if she had a dungeon in her basement specifically for torturing kiss ass interns and the men she views as below her. Think chains and leather. Ew.
