STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

I know a lot of people are disappointed w/this show lately, but I loved it.  I think we all knew that Meredith wouldn't die.  I expected her to live, and expected that her mom would be the one to die.  I really liked her afterlife experience w/Denny...I think it made her realize some things about her life. 

I totally cried when Christina came into the room and told them all to try again.  Derek made me cry again too - Patrick Dempsey's acting has been superb the last two episodes.

Oh and I really liked that George finally stood up to Izzy.  She may be right about Callie, but he's right about her lying and being his friend.  She actually annoyed me in this episode.  Anyhow, I guess I wasn't disappointed because I expected what happened to happen and I was ok w/that.

I was disappointed too. I thought the whole "caught in limbo" thing with the guy who died in the bomb episode and the girl who was impaled was really corny, especially when the girl started bleeding out and everything got all melodramatic. I thought towards the beginning Ellen Pompeo's acting was really cheesy as well when she was in that limbo state. It got better towards the end, but I was having trouble watching in the beginning. During the part where Meredith woke up and found Derek standing at her door, I had to laugh though... I would think that after someone you love comes back from being dead for 3 hours you have more to say than "Hey." LOL.

My favorite part of the show was definitely when Izzie stopped in the hall and closed her eyes as she felt Denny there with her. When he said "Izzie...", I lost it and started bawling. It was so good to see them together again! I always cry when it comes to Izzie and Denny.

I feel like Grey's has wasted at least two episodes with this crappy storyline. And I also felt the whole heaven/afterlife/limbo, whatever scense were corny.

The only parts I liked were when Christina stood at the foot of Meredith's bed and said, "Try again!" in a voice that didn't even sound like her, it was so emotion-filled. And the part with Addison and Mark...I thought, Oh, poor Alex! But it will be interesting to see what happens with Addison and Mark. I think there's definitely unfinished business there.

The part at the end, with Izzie and Denny, almost made this ep worthwhile. Almost. That was heartbreaking. And Patrick Dempsey looked super-hot - I love to see him out of his scrubs. He has such a boyish charm!

The Izzie and Denny thing at the end made the whole episode worth while and not a waste of my time. I wouldn't have cared if Merideth died either. Izzy should be the main character on the show! Katherine Heigel has more star power anyways.

Yeah, Meredith is not my favorite either, but I'd have been disappointed if she died.  I liked the episode overall, and had not predicted Meredith's mom would be the one to die, although it made complete sense.

I agree, I'd have more to say besides "hey" after my significant other came back from the dead!  Patrick Dempsey was really great.

I also heard there might be a spinoff for Addison.  It would be sad to see her go. Apparently they're shooting a two-part episode that centers around her, and that's what would serve as the pilot.  Taye Diggs is supposed to be in it.

I didn't want to open this thread until I watched the episode, which I just finished. I didn't like the episode, and I'm relieved that we're out of this crazy storyline and I hope things will go back to "normal." I couldn't stand the thing about her being in limbo. I wanted to just turn it off once that whole thing started, but I stuck it out. It was way to corny and ridiculous.

I always feel so bad for Addison when she sees Derek and Meredith together. When she said, "he never looked at me like that," I almost lost it! But what was up with Derek just saying "hey?" if someone I loved that much just essentially came back from the dead, I'd be hovering over him and when he woke up I'd probably strangle him with a hug. I wouldn't just lean against the door 10 feet away and give a half-smile and a "hey." I mean, I get more excited when I haven't seen my BF in two days!

I wonder if something will happen between Derek and the pregnant lady, though? I think something will... but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part.

I also was kind of just hoping that Meredith would die, even though I knew she wouldn't.

and lastly: I'm glad George stood up to Izzy and told her that her comments were mean and especially out of place at that time. IMO Izzy is being a real bitch about all of this. Callie is George's WIFE.
