Simply golden.
Still has what I love about the show.
Wonder how they'll work Izzy back in. Definitly plenty of things still going on.
But um plague? Just out of the blue, oh hi here's some plague? Course, that's normal on GA.
Watched this (live) over CSI. :o :D
Discuss.

The "horrible virus/plague" thing was way too hokey.
Other than that, it was okay, and I like how they filled in some of the backstory.

My power went out before the end of the show. What happened after Derek and George walked in and Callie hugged George, saying she had been so worried?

Excellent excellent episode - what a way to start the season. Interesting balance between the 4 interns sticking together over the Denny LVAD thing and the 4 student girls sticking together about the baby.
Poor Dr. Bailey.... of course, this will probably be her Emmy nomination episode. The scene with the guy from The Practice was great. I'm not sure the backstory was necessary, but it did provide perspective (Yang and Burke especially). I guess it does prove, however, that George doesn't learn from mistakes - his or McDreamy's.
Can't wait for next week.

I duno why but I find myself attracted to callie.
good episode. hoping the plague thing pans out to more than just a gimmick to get derrek and omalley hanging.

Callie told him she loved him very, very much. Derek looked disappointed McPuppyDog eyes at George for not repeating it.
Derek walks into the kitchen, where Meredith is cleaning dishes. She asks him "What does this mean", and Derek gives her a standard GA angst speech; she has a choice to make, he doesn't want to rush her, he's in love with her (twinkly teeth smile inserted here) ... he re-emphasizes that she needs to take her time to decide, because when he had a decision to make, he chose wrong. Good night, walk out, Meredith looks ... Meredithy.

Isn't Bubonic Plague treatable with antibiotics? Why all the scary quarantine stuff?

Wondered the same thing... Do people still get the plague? Can't it be treated? Were all those people in the ER plague victims? Was it ever actually decided that it was the plague? It seemed awfully quick for the suit to walk in at the end and say thanks but the outbreak has been contained... :confused:
I liked the ep overall, but the whole plague thing seemed contrived and really unnecessary.

I'm so happy that my show is back!!! WOOHOOO!!! I only wish I could watch a marathon of new episodes. I started crying again tonight for Izzy and remembered that I'd done the same at the end of last season. She really turned in a top-notch performance with this storyline.
A little disappointed to see 2 guys waiting in the wings for Meredith. She needs some alone time (and not "knitting"). I don't want Chris O'Donell to leave anytime soon, so hope she waits a while or picks him...which would lead to his being hurt, so maybe not. I don't know, I just know that I love, love, love this show and am so glad that they reran that bomb episode on an odd night that I was already watching that station so I could become addicted.
Honestly, I was disappointed. It dragged in places and was way too overdramatic (even for Gray's). There wasn't as much snappy dialogue, or humor, and instead there was extra melodramatic music and long pauses.
I thought the Bailey-plague guy scenes were especially bad. Her whole part was really out of character -- usually she's so tough and take-control, but instead of whipping the guy into shape she got all weepy and religious. Just really didn't work for me. And why on earth didn't George and Shepherd treat the patient with plague? They already had been exposed. Instead of helping the guy, they are just sitting around bored quarantined in the next room over while Bailey is whining that nobody can help him b/c of the quarantine? Plus, as someone posted, the plague is really treatable with antiboitics so the whole thing made very little sense.

I'm not sure if I could have easily got into this episode if I hadn't watched the recap episode that was shown first. It was pretty well done since it focused on the emotional arcs a little more than the story arcs.
So I'm saying this season premiere was as good as the series premiere, especially the way they interwove the drama of last season's finale', or at least it's aftermath, with the continuation of the character's back stories. Great episode, and it looks like it will be able to avoid a sophomore slump.
Isn't Bubonic Plague treatable with antibiotics? Why all the scary quarantine stuff?Yes, it's treatable, but if it's in someone's lungs, it's extremely contagious. Quarantine is the correct protocol. It only takes a minute on-line to learn that.

And last season's finale episode was entitled "Losing my Religion." Everything felt as it should to me.
There was nothing unrealistic about how the quarantine was handled. Just because someone was exposed briefly doesn't mean they should be exposed more.

Two things I didn't get....the guy in the white suit outside the plague guy's room - was he just a guard or part of medical staff...shouldn't he have been able to go in and help calm plague guy? And, when you give birth there is a fair amount of bleeding afterwards - shouldn't one of these four girls been having a heavier than normal period? I wouldn't have thought a vaginal exam would have been necessary......
And I was waiting for McDreamy to start the "pick me...pick me...pick me" speech....

It was good, but I hated the Denny story line and personally I think it ranks up there as one of the most stupid story arcs ever on TV, so this episode being a continuation of that was bound to not be one of my favorites. I mean, Izzy asking Yang how she would feel if she never saw Burke again? They have an actual relationship! Izzy and Denny probably spent 5 hours togehter before she tried to kill him. If that is how she acts she is crazy and needs to be committed.
I am not sure how they will get her into teh story line, maybe as an orderly as that is probably the only job she can ever get in medicine now.

I agree that having the breakout was a somewhat contrived plot device.
However, when medical people say "The" plague, they are almost certainly talking about Bubonic Plague, the detection of which still triggers a quarantine. (See balboa dave's post above.)

I had to fight my tivo to watch this. It recorded the clip show, but not the new episode. Then I told it to record it when I discovered this about 10 minutes in, and about 40 minutes in it stopped recording! Thankfully I had caught up by then and just watched it live.
The plauge seemed a bit contrived. And they really were bringing out the "dark and twisty" in everyone in the last episode. It was good, but not a great episode. But I tend to think that season premiere's tend not to be as great since they have to spend some time working on catching everyone up on what happened.
And Callie (aka The lady of the lake) is crazy! She admitted it! I just have this whole psycho-stalkery feel about her character. If George breaks up with her (which seems inevitable), I expect we'll see that.

She may be crazy, but I still like her. At times she seems to be the most believable character on the show (at least to me.)
I loved Christina crying at the end when she went to visit Burke. Maybe she does have a shred of humanity.
I did like McDreamy's speech to Meredith about making right/wrong choices and that he admits he made the wrong choice. However, I am not interested in another season long saga of will she end up with him or won't she. :rolleyes:

Good night, walk out, Meredith looks ... Meredithy.I also think that at the very end, the head guy's wife wants to know whether he is going to retire, and he says that he needs time to think it over, since she just brought it up today.

It was a rather weak episode for all of the reasons mentioned above. The crap with Dr. Bailey getting all weird was just stupid. She's the ONE character on the show that keeps it together.
There was just too much thrown into this episide. I kept waiting for the kitchen sink to be thrown into the frame.

The whole "locking a patient in a room without any medical attention' was STUPID, it just made no sense whatsoever. If they're going to quarantine someone, they'll send doctors in wearing the bunny suits to care for the guy, and they'll have a decontamination area coming out of the quarantine zone. They won't just lock a guy in a room and watch him until he dies.
If there's one thing I liked about the episode, it was the flashbacks to scenes before the series began. The mixer was mentioned in the first episode (George mentioned remembering what Merideth was wearing at the mixer) but I don't think we've seen it yet. Correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not a active viewer of the show.
I think what annoyed me most was that 90-95% of the scenes shown in the promos for this episode weren't even from this episode at all, and in fact ruined one of the plot elements. (Addison ending up with Merideth's missing underwear - I think there was supposed to be some 'mystery' there, like "is she going to be mature about it, what is she going to do with them, will she return them, etc" but the promos pretty much revealed what's happening there.) I hate when the promo people think they have to embellish an episode by showing scenes from other episodes - it's bait and switch, if you ask me.

Question: Why wasn't Derreck at the mixer? (Not storyline "why" 'cuz that's obvious, but why wouldn't he have been there to meet everyone too?) I guess he could have been too busy working...or maybe he hadn't quite finished his move to Seattle yet?
I thought that the flu/plague thing made sense for quarantine. They didn't start it right away, but were talking about how bad it was and how many people were really sick. What surprised me was that only the guy and the 2 docs seemed to be in quarantine...what about all those other patients? Where were they?
I also think we'll see a return to the old Miranda, but after what she just went through, I believed her character in this one.
My hubby hated the "flashbacks", but I kinda liked them 'cuz they were all scenes that we hadn't seen before (with maybe the exception of one of them, but I can't remember which one it was...I think it was Meredith's, in the bar with Dereck). Very strange to see Addison that way (in her flashback).
I loved the Denny storyline. ;0)

I agree. It seemed so out of character for her. I wonder if they had to edit some of her scenes out, because I didn't get the reason she would be behaving like that.

We jumped over to ABC during the middle of the music video/promo. Dunno but it had a lot of spoilers in there imho.

No idea really. Maybe he hadn't officially started at Seattle Grace yet and hadn't gotten the e-mail about the mixer? :D

My favorite quote of the show was from Yang to Meredith about doing the McNasty with McDreamy at the prom...."was McDreamy acting all McGuilty..." or something like that.

Doesn't he say to Meredith in the bar that he's starting tomorrow also?
And what a horndog Burke is ... Christina was on the "pay no mind" list while he's drooling over the other hottie, but he was certainly the aggressor when their relationship started later on.
(And yes, Rich is correct that I forgot the scene between the Chief and his wife. She's awesome, by the way :D)

I thought her scene with Omar was the one weak part of an otherwise strong episode. It was too long and awkward and deliberately maudlin. That said, I think Bailey's "getting all weird" was entirely believable. She has shown on several occasions that her "nazi" image is both who she is and a total facade. She wasn't breaking down here because of Omar, she was doing it because of Denny, whose death she feels was preventable and should have been prevented by her. She feels like she failed him and, in a way, failed Izzy as well.

"Whipping the guy into shape"? Omar's potentially got the plague; he's locked in a hospital room; and most importantly, his wife just died and died alone, he feels responsible, and he can't even get to her. And Bailey was supposed to, what, yell at him?

I'm not a big fan of the Denny storyline either, but they spent way more time than 5 hours together. They made mention for a couple episodes how Izzie was spending all of her working time up with him, and even staying with him after her shift was over on some days. Now, obviously it's not like they were together for months and months, but it was more than just a few hours.

Hmm. I though Derek was looking disappointed because when Callie said she loved George he just kissed her; leading her to believe the he loved her, rather than explaining the whole "I think I can love you soon" thing that he and Derek were talking about.
In other words, that Derek was disappointed in George for misleading Callie, not disappointed the George couldn't say "I love you" back.

I think the "Eugene" and Bailey scenes sold so poorly because Bailey couldn't sell it- it looked to me as if she was struggling to pull it off and didn't quite get there. Normally she is a great actress but I just didn't buy this from her.
I love the Denny storyline- and I think whether they were together five hours or five years you can still form a bond. Sometimes magic does happen just that fast- I had a 30 day relationship that ended in a death and it took me years to get past it. Feeling cheated out of a life you never even had can be far more difficult to come to terms with than one you did have ending too soon.
I also didn't buy Christines tears in the end- that rang false to me as well. Not the character, but the actress. Maybe production was rushed and they just couldn't give these people the time they needed to get it right.

I think that has more to do with the fact that her behavior is so out of character for Bailey that it came off as totally out of place. I thought she sold it well, but it was hard to swallow due to her history.
By the way, if anyone missed the premiere last night ... it will be repeated tonight. (8e/7c)

From some of the comments made in the episode, I have a suspicion they're going to pull a fast one and basically claim that she didn't kill him, he was going to die anyways, and get her back in. I can't quote the lines, but there was one point the chief was asking about the autopsy records that made me suspect that.
It'll be cheap and a cop-out if they do this, but that's my bet.

I can't believe they dragged Denny into this season. I was really hoping that they were going to jump a month into the future or something and just leave Denny in season 2. This was not a terribly interesting episode. The scenes/situations with "Omar" were beyond reason.

I really hope Callie is in for the long haul. I think she adds a lot to the show. I loved her rant to Finn in the kitchen, and her leaving the room "for no obvious reason".
I enjoyed the show, as always. I found the end with Christina and Burke touching. Yes, it's out of character for her... that was the point.
I've never thought of Meredith as being terribly attractive, but she really looked great in a lot of scenes. Maybe they changed their hair/makeup staff. I thought Christina looked heavier.

My beef: At the end of the mixer, Karev leaves with Olivia! What?!?! She is a nurse, they wouldn't be at a mixer for new medical interns.
Also, Addision made a point of saying that Derek didn't say anything when he caught her in bed with Mark, that he just left. Well, that obvisouly was not the case if we are to believe the flashback.

If you're having an illicit affair, how stupid do you have to be to put your lover's panties anywhere on your person where they could possibly be found. And she even asked where they were as they were leaving, so wouldn't you remember stuffing them in your pocket then? And this guy's a brain surgeon?

In related news:
Grey's Anatomy beat CSI in the first head-to-head matchup of new episodes on Thursday nights. Grey's scored 25.4 million viewers and CSI 22.6 million. Gray's also won the demographic groups most sought by advertisers. It was Grey's third-biggest audience ever, while CSI's numbers were down 22% from its season premiere last year.
I don't think either network is going to blink and move either show to a different timeslot. I wonder if this will give a slight boost to the purchase of DVRs. :)

I liked this ep better than most. My wife likes them all.
Miranda - unconvincing and out of character, even with Denny's death hanging over her.
Izzy - Beautiful, as usual, but not a very good actress. Her crying last season when Denny died was probably supposed to be her emmy moment, but she didn't pull it off. She doesn't do despondent much better. Surely, after an attempted murder, she'll be back, however illogically.
But the reason I liked this ep was that the characters weren't anywhere near as whiny and selfish as usual. On the bathroom floor, none of the characters sat and babbled about themselves. Seems like normally they would.
Burke, slip that selfish parody-of-a-driven-Asian-surgeon some rat poison. There is nothing even remotely convincing me that you would be interested in her. She will never be there for you.
The more I think about it, each character is more whiny and selfish and uncaring than the next. Their friendships are shallow and not deepened even by the grueling process of internship. Even the most compassionate guys, the Chief and George, are not really friends to anyone.
That's it. I'm deleting my SP. If my wife ever lets me touch the remote. :)

Last season I would have said this was my very fave show. But watching the premier this week sucked. I thought it would never end. Maybe because I work in a hospital, I am not very tolerant of the silly, stupid, unbelievable story lines. But then I guess that is why I watch TV - to escape the reality. I'm giving it one more week to shape up before I delete it from the SP. :down:

Seriously?! I must be watching a different show, 'cuz while I don't think she's that beautiful (there's something kinda odd about her looks), I really thought she pulled off the heartbreak and despondent thing. I cried along with her, while trying desperately not to, but I was completely sucked in by her performance. :o

Finally got a chance to watch this over the weekend (never should have gotten my wife hooked on this one - now she makes me wait to watch it with her. :))
For those of you upset that The Plague was "too much" and contrived - have you ever watched this show before? Because if so, I fail to see how The Plague is any more contrived than an unexploded artillery shell inside someone's abdomen, or two people impaled on the same pole, or any one of the other extremely far-fetched plot devices that GA has employed in its relatively short lifetime. It's about the drama and the angst, not the medical realism, people.
I, too, liked Callie's little speech to Finn about the high school - it does recast the characters in a certain light.
No one has really touched on the Addy/Derek flashback. Man, that was painful and intense. It was startling to see Addison so out of control emotionally, but I still found it entirely believable because the writers (and Kate Walsh) have done such a good job of developing and evolving that character in her relatively short on-screen time. Speaking of Addison, anyone else see some sparks starting to develop between her and Alex?
I didn't have a problem with Bailey's facade crumpling either. She went through *a lot* last season, and since this one picked up right after last season ended, it's still fresh to her (though maybe not to us). And I really, really, really like Steve Young (Omar, aka Eugene from "The Practice") as an actor. That man is intense.

Great episode, and it looks like it will be able to avoid a sophomore slump.
Technically, GA is in its third year, although I suppose that since Season 1 was only 9 eps, the show is now more like a second-semester sophomore. :)

Since S1 was only 9, and S2 was 27... we are technically on Season 5 now. ;)

And I was waiting for McDreamy to start the "pick me...pick me...pick me" speech....
I was too!!!!
I loved the scene with Callie cooking in the kitchen and Finn walking in. I just wanted him to bend her over the counter and . . . uh, never mind, that's MY fantasy. :o
Typical Meredit will pick McDreamy over Finn. I'll take your leftovers hon.

I did not really care about the Izzy/Denny Storyline I am curious as to what will happen when they see those panties under the lost and found sign on the board.

If I were Meredith, I'd just act like they weren't mine. 'Course, her roomies have probably seen her prancing around the house in them already, so maybe they'd already know.

Yeah I would act like they were not mine...but she made the mistake of telling people she lost her panties at the prom.....Im like what are you doing????

I don't think hanging up Meredith's panties is really a way to embarass her, more of a way to let her and McDreamy know she knows.

I duno why but I find myself attracted to callie.
Just taking a while shot here. Maybe because she's seriously tasty looking?
She makes Ellen ( I need a sammich ) Pompeo look for a war refugee. The only other one on the show who compares favorably is Izzie.

I think I like her because she is cute and not thin as a toothpick. And I think she has some tattoos under those clothes too Id bet.
I see she's got a part in a john corbett project, and has been in quite a few tv shows and movies.
And shes from Mexico, rrooowwrr!

I love that she's not another anorexic-looking actress. It makes her more "real" and relate-able.

And she's cute too which helps. That smile of hers gets me everytime. :)
I hope she is going to be around for a while. But Im guessing she will be history soon. :/

You might remember Bailey just had a baby and almost lost her husband. And last season's finale episode was entitled "Losing my Religion." Everything felt as it should to me.
the thing is that we remember the tough strong bailey.. not 4 months later . .the one we got last night. but other than that.. it wasnt the best episode by any means.. the thing they were hyping the most.. merideth's decision wasnt even resolved.. at least with GG lorelie told luke .. but anyways .. the back storries were the most interesting .. esp adison and mcdreamy kickin her out . that was tough and i felt bad for both of them during that scene .. i really feel for addison now..
merideth pick fin ! he was right.. mcdreamy is bad for her ...
i think the show suffered from its own sucess.. next week looks better esp with merideth's panties hanging on the bulletin board haha

I hate to nitpick, but --
His character on The Practice was "Eugene Young".
The actor's name is Steve Harris (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092492/).
Maybe your brain got the two names mixed up because Steve is an ex-football player. :D
Totally agree, though, Steve Harris is a fine actor.

I was wondering how I was able to catch Grey's Anatomy last week. I checked my tivos last nite and they were recording Celebrity Duets (shut up!) and CSI. I then checked the To Do list and it showed GA scheduled to record tonite. :up: Yeay!
