Grey's Anatomy 4/2/2006 (S02E22) "The Name of the Game"
What was that line Dr. Webber used? "Back to bare essentials?" or something like that -- just realized the connection with what Christina did to get George out of the apartment. 
Alex is right. The truth was the right way to handle it; maybe he could've found another gentler way, but it seemed his alone-time to discuss the subject with her was pretty limited.
I really don't see how anyone could set up house in a hospital and not be discovered pretty quickly; especially if it was possible to hear a ringing phone where Callie was from where George had retreated to.
It also appears George might've made the connection to what traumatized Meredith and led to her having sex with George, eventually ending in that disasterous moment. Now he just has to process it a bit.
Bummer - we have to wait 4 weeks for a new episode.

I don't know about the setting up house thing... from what I've seen of hospitals, they frequently have lots of disused or underused corners that you could probably hide away in and no one would notice. At least this was a bit more believable than on ER, the ending from last week that seemed to depict

Damn. I was hoping Dr. Callie wasn't going to turn out to be a nutcase, but it certainly looks like they're heading in that direction. Of course, any woman who considers George to be her "McDreamy" has got some kinks upstairs.
So Meredith has two half-sisters and a half-brother and Mare Winningham as a stepmother. Let's hope they don't disappear after this episode. From what I hear, Chris O'Donnell definitely will be around as the veterinarian for a few episodes. |

Uh-oh. George is my McDreamy! What does that say about me?! 
I enjoyed this episode quite a bit. And Doug, it was "back to the basics" that the Chief told Christina.

Probably one of the better episodes I've seen.
I don't think she was weird for having living space in a hospital. If that's all she needs.. shrug.

Personally, I gotta say when Christina was talking about getting George out of the apartment and Meredith responded 'Well you could sleep with him, and than cry during the middle of it....' I laughed so hard. It was just so blunt and awful but at the same time funny. 
I liked that Dr. Callie said that George was more to her than what he is to Izzie, Meredith and Christina. |

I seriously dislike Dr. Callie.
I'll be glad when she's gone.

Yeah, me too...he looks like he needs a bath. The nursing staff around there is really slacking off in the patient hygiene department.

If denny can take alex out with him then I would gladly see him killed off. I also like seeing george with callie much better than Merideth. It is kind of cool the nice guy finds a woman who appreciates him for who he is.

Now that you mention it, that was very funny. But without a laugh track I didn't think to laugh.

You do realize he's talking about a fictional character, and this wouldn't require the death of the real-live flesh and blood actor, don't you?

Really? Nah, I thought he was real.
Of course I realize its fictional. I still think its a pretty harsh way of putting it. So shush.

I like Callie... she's good for George. And, just 'cause she lives in the hospital doesn't necessarily mean she's a complete nutcase
I was glad to see that George took the initiative!

Maybe I'm just hormonal, but when Laurie Metcalf was giving her daughter advice, I cried great big gobby tears... I ended up pausing the tv and just crying for a few minutes.
My own mother died 10 years ago - I was older than that girl, but still I remember some of the same advice my mom gave me growing up and how much I miss that advice now.

I just lost my dad a few months ago, and that scene hit me kinda hard, too. Good acting.

My sister died a little over a month ago, leaving behind 3 kids right about the same age, and what Alex did to make sure that mother spoke to her daughter about it was absolutely right on the best thing to do.

In real life it would be the best thing to do. In the context of the TV show, a student ignoring the instructions of a teacher or an employee ignoring the order of a boss is not the right thing to do.

Well, in the context of THIS show, they showed it as being absolutely the right thing to do...

Ths episode was a great example of why this show is so good. I laughed out loud several times, I cried, the actors were all really good, and the characters stayed true to themselves.
The guest actors are almost always fantastic, not just stunt casting. Laurie Metcalf was wonderful, and I want to see more of Mare Winningham and Meredith's father. Mare's "roar" was priceless.
And I love Dr. Carrie.
And want to climb into Denny's bed with him.

Laurie Metcalf had me in tears - she is really a terrific actress.
I just love this show!

Absolutely.
I find posters in the West Wing threads, here and on other boards, don't always appreciate the difference between what works and what's the right thing to do in the context of a TV show has little or no relationship to what works or is the right thing to do in real life.

When someone says "I'm not crazy" twice in the span of 10 seconds.....I'm thinking, "Have sex with her and then run the hell away!"
Ooooh also- When Laurie Metcalf was talking about her sister, did she call her Aunt Rose?
