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

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.

The GLAAD Media Awards Were on Saturday
The GLAAD media awards (that is, gay and lesbian alliance against defamation) were held on Saturday and guess who was a speaker? That's right, our very own T.R Knight, also known as Doctor George O'Malley. T.R spoke about Lawrence King and Sammie Williams Jr., who were murdered for their sexual preference. T.R also shed light on a Sally Kern, Oklahoma State Representative, who has been quoted as saying that the 'homosexual agenda' is responsible for destroying our nation and has compared gay and lesbian men and women to terrorists.
In addition, T.R Knight observed the annual day of Silence on April 25th, 2008. The day is in honor of those gay and lesbian men and women who have been silenced over the years by oppression and hate crimes. The point is to vow to stay silent all day to emphasize just how loud their forced silence is. Though I did not participate this year, I was active in the day of silence every year in high school. Way to go, T.R Knight. It is a wonderful thing you are doing, bringing attention to the silent oppressed. The fight is not over until those like Sally Kern realize the extent of their ignorance.

Isn't he just such a cutie?
The Surgical Poll Results Are In
Last week, I asked you via poll which surgeon you would trust to cut you open. And it seems our dearly beloved interns turned residents just do not have your vote of confidence. The highest ranking surgeons were well established in the surgical world of Grey's Anatomy compared to the relative newcomers. Dr. Shepherd (McDreamy) and Dr. Hahn were the highest ranking surgeons, with McDreamy beating the pack easily. The results are as follows.
Out of thirteen votes, 7 (54%) decided they would like McDreamy to be there savior. And I certainly don't blame you. I would easily place myself in McDreamy's capable hands. And you can take that any way you want to.
2 of you (15%) chose the next best, Dr. Hahn. And I really don't know what you guys were thinking. Hahn might be capable, and extremely good at her job, but have you been paying attention to how she treats the family? Goodness! No bedside manner to be found anywhere.
With one vote each (8%), the new residents filled out the rest of the votes, with notable exceptions. George and Izzie got no votes. I blame it on this whole 007 business. And Izzie, well, she just spent the last episode putting a patient through excruciating and unnecessary procedures all in the name of winning a surgical contest. Serves her right.
The three that did get a vote were Meredith (of course. I mean, she is the namesake of the show), Cristina (another shocker...) and Alex. Yes, some people want Alex Karev to do surgery on them. And well, why not? He has been referred to as the underdog by more than one person as far as I can tell.
Bailey also got a vote. But the other residents that received no vote at all, quite surprisingly, were the Chief, Callie and McSteamy.
Thanks for voting you guys. You have no idea how exciting it is to slowly watch participation in my polls go up.

A really cool picture of our winner, complete with carefully placed advertising.

Hypothetical Hospital Stays
Alright, let's say you are seriously injured. I mean, really sick. Let's just say you're surgery sick. And through no fault of your own and with a little bit of luck and maybe some magic, you end up at Seattle Grace Hospital. Who would you want to operate on you? And I don't mean that kind of operate, you pervert. I mean seriously slice you open and tool around with your insides. Who would you pick to be your surgeon?
If someone's missing from the list, you can post a comment to share your opinion. And if you wanted to make things really fun, post a comment telling us what you think you would need surgery for!
Sorry, Fridays make me a little giddy...

Who Let the Dogs Out?
Finally! The much anticipated return of Grey's Anatomy. I celebrated Thursday, April 24th as if it were a national holiday. I canceled plans, I amassed all the necessary food assortments (that being junk-food and soda) and sat my butt on the couch a full half hour before the show started. I didn't want to miss a thing. And I have to say, even knowing a good deal of what was supposed to happen during this show, I was still surprised. Grey's Anatomy never disappoints.
Anyways, the show begins with the usual Meredith voice-over. This one is about how we're not much more than animals... blah de blah de blah. I really do hate those Meredith voice-overs. Apparently, it has been five weeks since in TV land since the faith healer and baby Tuck's unfortunate tangle with the bookcase. The residents are living in the hospital due to a surgery contest with a point system (you see, living in their own homes might result in them missing out on an awesome surgery worth lots of points). The resident with the most points gets some kind of fancy prize. Meredith is in therapy, which obviously made me almost giddy. But she's not there for McDreamy, oh no. The fact that he is all lovey dovey with Nurse McSlutty has nothing to do with it. Although, I must say this, McDreamy seems more indifferent to this relationship than Nurse McSlutty, who proudly proclaims to Lexie at the nurse's station that she loves him. Yeah, ok... A bit over the top, don't you think?
Callie and Dr. Hahn are like BFF now. I must say though, that there are some pretty strong lesbian undertones going on in their friendship. Maybe they're just close, but I don't know. I sense something juicy.
McSteamy just doesn't know what to do with himself now that Dr. Hahn and Callie are off doing their thing and completely ignoring him. And on top of that, he's a little jealous of McDreamy's new relationship with Nurse McSlutty, who he doesn't like at all. He was under the impression that after the Addison/Meredith triangular cluster[bleep] of love, that McDreamy and he were going to hang out and be single men together. And now he's lonely. I have two things to say about this plot-line. One, McSteamy is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. Because he looks out for his buddy and he doesn't like Rose. Now, if he out-right hated her for no good reason, well, I might not feel the same. However, he just doesn't feel right about her and wasn't shy about vocalizing this to McDreamy. My hero! And two, McDreamy certainly does move from one relationship to the next, doesn't he? And I'm not talking about ending one relationship only to start a new one. That considerate, albeit disjointed way of dating just isn't for him. He'd like to sail from one relationship right into the next without all that being-single-for-five-minutes business. Think about it, he was still technically married when he started that stuff with Meredith. And he was still with Meredith [technically] when he tongue wrestled Nurse McSlutty. Damn boy, take a minute to breathe between women. Good god!
Moving on, there is still a little bit of unexpected tension between George and Izzie now that the Gizzie affair is over. And thank God for that (the end of the relationship, not the tension). Several different times Izzie makes some passive aggressive comments about her instincts being all wrong (what with her deciding to sleep with a married man and all) and George is now living in one of the grossest apartments I have ever seen, with Lexie. Lexie and Meredith have this almost sisterly bond over Lexie's sticky fingers, but as soon as Lexie tries to get personal, Meredith becomes all business and distant. I have faith that they'll work it out eventually. Not that I expect them to giggle over boys while braiding each other's hair or anything, but I hope one day, they will be able to communicate in a sisterly way.
I suppose it's time to actually talk about the patients. I mean, this is a medical drama, after all. The meat of the medicine is directed at this one group of campers who have been attacked by a bear. Two brothers and a wife. To make this a little easier to understand, since I have no idea what their names were, I'll name the brothers Brother A and Brother B. Ok now, Brother A is married to the girl there. He married this chick after 10 days of knowing her. She's a middle-class waitress, and I guess he's supposed to be loaded or something. Brother B is just there to be a wicked cool patient. We don't really know anything about his personal life. Anyways, Brother A, Brother B and wife decide to go out into the wilderness to camp. Brother A decides it would be a good idea to reach out and touch a baby cub, which prompts Mama Bear to come and tear the everloving crap out of everybody. Brother A has a hole in his hand, meaning you can actually see through it. Wife is missing part of her head, meaning her skull flap is just kind of hanging out on the side of her head. And Brother B's intestines are on the outside of his body rather than on the inside. And what's really weird is, Brother A drove all of them to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance. The other patient is just an old man with an ankle injury.
Now, keep in mind there is a surgical contest going on. So not only are the residents trying to pick the grossest cases, but they are also trying for a point system. The points I caught were 1 point per stitch (Brother B needs about a hundred of them) and 80 points for solving a medical mystery (Izzie thinks ankle man probably has a serious disease no one will catch because they're all focused on the ankle). Cristina is ahead in points when the patients roll up. She picks Brother B because all those stitches will seal the game for her. However, Bailey (who is officiating the contest) decides Alex and Cristina will share him. Alex has a chance to catch up to Cristina if he can do more stitches than her, which seems likely since she has to leave every hour to give Dr. Hahn an update about Brother B. Meredith gets Brother A, who seems to be a pretty straight forward case. However, as she learns more about his erratic behavior (like touching a baby cub when he knew better, marrying a woman he only knew for 10 days and driving everyone to the hospital rather than wait for an ambulance), she starts to suspect that Brother A has a tumor that is affecting his judgment. And guess what, if she's right, she's solved a medical mystery and she wins. Izzie spends her day trying to find some kind of life threatening disease in the man with the ankle injury. She orders tons of unnecessary and rather painful tests (including a spinal tap) and leads this man to believe he's dying from some unheard of disease all so she can solve a medical mystery and win the contest. Turns out, the guy only has the flu. He's appropriately unhappy about this.
Brother B dies because, well, his insides became his outsides and not many people can handle that kind of stress to the body. Brother A actually does have a tumor, which can't be operated on, and wife just gets her head sewn up and everything is fine. Meredith wins the surgical contest because of Brother A's tumor, although she doesn't seem very excited about it. Her prize is a red and white striped sparkly pager. A magic pager it seems, because it gives her the power to decide which surgeries she wants in on. Basically, this pager gives her the power to take someone else's patient if she wants it. Oh, and obviously, she'll be the first resident paged. The other residents are obviously unhappy about this, but I'm sure they'll all get over it.
All in all, this was a really good episode. Gross, bloody and appropriately sentimental what with all the freeze frame shots of McDreamy and Nurse McSlutty engaging in PDA right in front of Meredith. Meredith is handling this break-up with McDreamy much more maturely than she did the others. When Izzie and Cristina try to console her, as best friends are likely to do after a breakup, by calling her mean and awful, Meredith tells them to stop. Because Nurse McSlutty isn't an awful person (I beg to differ) and she has accepted that she and McDreamy are over. She's in therapy to deal with her many many issues and she even brings herself to consult him about a possible treatment for Brother A's tumor, even though it is painfully obvious that she would rather talk to anyone else. I'm pretty proud of my little Meredith. Being all adult and mature and actually trying to get healthier. I could just pinch her little cheek.
Essentially, I loved it. I loved all of it. And it was nice to have a quick Grey's fix after such a long withdrawal period. All is right with the world. Grey's Anatomy, we welcome you back with open arms.

Will The New Episode of Grey's Anatomy Live up to the Hype? - The Results
So the results of yet another fantastic poll created by yours truly are in. Awhile ago I asked you guys if you believed that the new Grey's Anatomy episode will live up to the hype, or if the writer's strike has ruined television for all of eternity. And you all answered with a resounding yes, Grey's Anatomy is going to rock. In fact, there was no other alternative according to you, as 100% of the responses were in support of the new episode, and everyone's favorite show, returning to the air as soon as humanly possible.
And the countdown has begun. Grey's Anatomy will return in:
6 Days!

Depressing Thought It May Be
It is time to look ahead to the end of season 4. This will air on May 22nd and surprise! will last 2 hours. From 9 until 11, everybody's favorite show will say goodbye to yet another season in style. I'm not sure what the season finale would be about, what will happen or who is getting kicked off this season (I'm kidding! Totally kidding, Grey's Gods. Let us lose no more characters). But the basic point of this post is that season 4 is, in total, 17 hours long. So, despite the writer's strike, season 4 actually will turn out to be fairly decent, length wise. And the return of Grey's Anatomy will be about a month long before it leaves again for the summer. I'm not sure how the re-runs of the season will sustain us throughout the summer. Hopefully, I'll have a life on Thursday nights this summer and it won't really affect me. Now, I realize I'm rambling. So, in case this made absolutely no sense whatsoever, I shall sum up.
I hope you enjoyed this little newsy tidbit.
- Grey's Anatomy is returning April 24th, but it over for the summer on May 22nd
- The season finale will last 2 hours. Yay!
- In total, season 4 or Grey's Anatomy will be 17 hours long. Meh.
I hope you enjoyed this little newsy tidbit.
A somewhat morbid looking picture of the Grey's Cast
The Big Day Is Almost Here
The new episode of Grey's Anatomy waits for us just around the corner. Most of us are nearly giddy with excitement. I know, for my part, I've been spending the last couple weeks brushing up on Grey's Anatomy Season 3. And here, brushing up means laying in bed for hours on end watching episode after episode while my roommate rolls her eyes at my intense lameness. Don't worry, Grey's hasn't become such an obsession that it's messing with my schoolwork... well, not yet anyways.
Anyways, since it's been a pretty slow couple of weeks news-wise, I've started to wonder whether the time lost will make a difference to Grey's Anatomy fans. Did the writer's strike turn you off television completely? Do you think Shonda Rhimes has had enough time to write a truly fantastic 'welcome back viewers' episode yet? Or, is your faith in Grey's Anatomy and all it's dark and twisty characters so strong that you do not doubt for a minute that the triumphant return of Grey's Anatomy to television will be enough to inspire ticker-tape parades and eventually lead to statues of all the residents that stand 30 feet tall in the heart of Hollywood? I want to know what you think. So, of course, I made another poll. Yippee! I've been starting to miss those little suckers, you know?

6 Weeks Later: The Spoiler Edition
Heads Up Everyone! There are spoilers afoot!
More spoilers are being released, and though they are not really all the juicy or interesting... or really "news", I will do my civic duty and post them here. Well, you've been warned. If you keep reading and you don't want to know what's happening next, it won't be my fault.
And I think that's pretty much the gist of it. Tune in April 24th to catch all the action as that will be the premiere of the new episode!

- Callie and Hahn will be rooming together. I have no idea what happened to the whole Cristina/Callie roommates idea. Maybe I missed something?
- Lexie and George will be living together as roommates as well and apparently their new digs aren't that great. This is probably a result of Izzie and George finally realizing months after everyone else did that they are icky as a couple.
- The residents, minus Meredith, will be competing in a surgical contest. I have no idea what that means or even what the ethical logistics are. But I do know that Bailey (of all people!) will be judging the contest. WHAT?!
- McDreamy is dating McSlutty Nurse. Gross.
And I think that's pretty much the gist of it. Tune in April 24th to catch all the action as that will be the premiere of the new episode!

Ellen Pompeo IS Alive
Now, since Grey's Anatomy has gone off the air, Ellen Pompeo has been laying low. In fact, there's been almost no news about her. She searched for an apartment and wore a questionable outfit, which has since been determined 'Hot' by our readers here at the Seattle Grace Gossip Center. However, tonight on the Late Show with David Letterman, Ellen Pompeo will make a little visit. If you're having Meredith withdrawals, be sure to tune into CBS tonight. Maybe she'll even drop a couple juicy tidbits about upcoming plot lines.
Damn, Ellen, you look down right appealing!
McDreamy Smells Nice
Patrick Dempsey, the doctor that flutters young hearts everywhere each Thursday night, is coming out with his own cologne. In cooperation with Avon, McDreamy plans to release his scent sometime in November, with a mass release to come sometime in 2009. Though there is no word yet on what the scent will, well, smell like, Patrick and his wife have been involved every step of the way. In fact, Jillian (Dempsey's wife) has been working with Avon for nearly two years.
How much luck do you think I'll have convincing my boyfriend to smell like McDreamy on a regular basis?

How very GQ of you, Patrick.
I Did NOT See This Coming!
We all breathed a collective sigh of relief when the Gizzie Affair started to look like it wasn't going to survive. However, we very nearly escaped a real life imitation of Gizzie! Ah, the horror! When the show first started filming, the ever ballsy Katherine Heigl had her eye on T.R. For the first couple of weeks, she flirted aggressively and was baffled when the invitation was not returned. Katherine said, "When we were filming the pilot I was single and so was he and I kind of had my eye on him. I was getting nowhere and I was super-confused. I was like, ‘Hello? Do I have something hanging out of my nose? Why aren’t you paying any attention to me?' Needless to say, it quickly became a friendship once he told me."
I really have to say, I absolutely did not see this coming. I feel blindsided for crying out loud. Is nothing sacred and pure? Must everything be tainted by lust?

Nice face, Katherine.
Accidental Friendship
Hallmark is the equivalent of Lifetime. This is fact. And now that I know, my favorite resident Miranda Bailey is set to star in her own Hallmark Channel original movie, Accidental Friendship, well I've decided to start stocking up on chocolate and tissues now. The movie is about a woman who finds unexpected friendship in a female police officer. Not much else is known about the film, except that it is set to air on television at the end of the year. I absolutely cannot wait.

Helpful Additions
Anne Dawes, writer of Grey's Anatomy: An Unauthorized View From the Other Side, recently reminded me that I'm missing a few hook-ups on my chart. Some I had completely forgotten about. Now, that's got to tell you that this woman knows her stuff. So go buy her book. Seriously.
Anyways, here is the updated chart, with help from Anne Dawes. I've decided to make it a completely different color to keep it consistent.
Just as a reference, in case you (like I) forgot some of these people:
Mrs. Seabury: The sheltered woman who came in for surgery to treat her cancer, but decided last minute to cancel the surgery. She decided to live the rest of her life doing all the things she never did; like shop-lift, eat a lot of sugar and apparently, have sex with Karev in the bathroom of Joe's bar.
Steve: Meredith's one-night stand who ended up coming to the hospital the next day due to prolonged erection that just would not go away. As a result, Derek (McDreamy) had to be called in to treat what they believed to be a neurological condition.
Colin Marlowe: The hot-shot doctor Cristina slept with while in grad-school. Burke admires him and looks up to him as a mentor-type guy, but has a little problem with his idol having slept with (and continually pursuing) his girlfriend.
Hank: the hockey player that Izzie was dating long before the Alex/Denny/George thing happened. He's the one she tried to avoid by throwing a huge party at Meredith's house, which she didn't even end up attending seeing as she had a chance to do brain surgery right before she was about to leave for the night.
That should about cover it. If you don't know who Joe is, you clearly don't watch the show and I'm not about to explain to you that Joe (and his bar) are central to the existence of the show. If you are confused about who Thatcher Grey is, just go away now. Really. As an extension of that, Susan Grey is critical to some pretty serious plot lines. So once again, if you don't know her, well, I'm not going to explain it to you.
Thanks, Anne, for all your lovely contributions.
