Meredith really is awesome -- if somewhat annoying -- when you get her away from McDreamy. Bailey is awesome, Addison rocks the casbah, Cristina's competitiveness is funny and adorable and a little scary, Izzie and Denny continue to be both inappropriate and adorable, Alex is a dick (not wrong, but utterly a dick. Telling the truth does not necessitate being an asshole), McDreamy was not as bad as usual, Chris O'Donnell was pretty but lord, Meredith, stick with *celibacy*. You're more entertaining that way.

Laurie Metcalf made me cry. Thatcher is an asshole and also George remains the best person ever for that description of Meredith. I'm sort of confused by why Callie is homeless but that is secondary to HOW MUCH I LOVE HER.

Seriously. George stops her world! And she's all disgusted with Meredith *and* Izzie because they don't see George! And Izzie's all jealous! And then, seriously, the kiss between George and Callie was at the same time one of the most adorable and inexplicably hottest kisses ever.

To sum up: Grey's Anatomy continues to win.

I agree with every word of this.

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by how much I like Meredith when she's not pining over Derek. Yeah, she's annoying, but almost all of them are annoying in some way or another. I thought George's description of Meredith fit her to a "T", and I liked that he was able to do that even though he's still obviously very mad at her.

McDreamy's non-annoying quotient increases exponentially, for me anyway, when he's dealing with anyone who's not Meredith or Addison. I loved that sequence with him, Bailey and Andrew full-stop.

I'm worried for Izzie. I hope her inappropriate closeness with Denny doesn't cause too much trouble for her, but it definitely looks like things are coming to a head next week. Izzie's jealousy of Callie was so fabulous and I loved the way Callie called both her and Meredith out on not really seeing George (even if Meredith, naturally, wasn't paying attention).

Right on about Alex. His sentiment -- that the Metcalfe character needed to tell her daughter the truth -- wasn't wrong, but Alex is one of those people who uses Being a Truth Teller as an excuse to be an asshole. He thinks that "being honest" somehow gives him carte blanche to treat people however he wants while he's doing so, and that just makes me want to punch him in the face. Truth really isn't mutually exclusive to civility.

Thatcher is a jerk. "Ellis broke him" is not an excuse for him to make no effort to reach out to Meredith, to not tell her there was this *whole other person* to whom she had a connection, etc. I mean, sure, yes, Ellis didn't let him in when Meredith was a kid, but what about all the years Meredith's been on her own, been an adult? Yeah, I think Meredith handled it all quite well given the circumstances and the fact that she would have been within her rights to pitch a fit about it.

I was going along great until they put the chick in the basement. Sorry, I've got plausibility issues!

Also as a knitter I was really irritated.

Other than that, OMG I LOVE GEORGE.

Whoa. I just can't get past the idea of Patrick Dempsey and Chris O'Donnell in the same show. It's like a teenage (ish ;)) flashback of hotness.

*coughs*

I um, may not entirely hate McDreamy, no.

*g* It takes all kinds. I can hate on McDreamy enough for five people :)

*g* Yes, the basement living was kind of WTF and I thought -- wrongly, it seems -- that the ep took more than one day. But maybe Izzie's just like, a super knitter or something. Or maybe it was her day off! and she was just spending it with Denny!

And George is the best.

The problem with Meredith/McDreamy) is that it reduces Meredith's character to her romance plotline, which I find both tedious and frustrating. None of the other women (okay, except Addison, and it irks me with her too) have that situation where everything gets dropped in favor of the romance. For Cristina and Izzie there are almost always professional concerns to balance the romance and Bailey is so awesome that it doesn't even come up for her.

I'm all but it's Patrick most of the time. :-D
