Season 7 Main Cast - Ellen Pompeo -- Meredith Grey Sandra Oh -- Cristina Yang (Hunt) Justin Chambers -- Alex Karev Chandra Wilson -- Miranda Bailey James Pickens, Jr -- Richard Webber Sara Ramirez -- Callie Torres Eric Dane -- Mark Sloan Chyler Leigh -- Lexie Grey Kevin McKidd -- Owen Hunt Jessica Capshaw -- Arizona Robbins Kim Raver -- Teddy Altman Sarah Drew -- April Kepner Jesse Williams -- Jackson Avery and Patrick Dempsey -- Derek Shepherd Drew and Williams now regulars (Raver in and Heigl out happened in the middle of last season...). - Good opening. Good structure to advance time and then fill in some gaps. I especially liked: - Lexie calling out Alex at the end. - Bailey's break-up scene. - Cristina's monologue. |

Great opening. I loved Lexie at the end, Lexie in general, to be exact. Good Cristina / Mer stuff and I'm happy Mer left Derek there at the end. I won't even comment on Bailey as she never disappoints me and always delviers top notch scenes. |

I've finally caught up with you or anyoen who's still watching :) I like this season a lot, it reminds me of the first seasons. I like that after the terrifying finale, they are still dealing with the consequences. The wedding seemed rushed, but Cristina and Owen do seem happy and that they love each other. Kudos to Shonda for making April likeable as I adore the actress and I want her to stay. OT: Jessica C looks amazing, will miss Arizona when she goes on maternity leave. |

#6, 'These Arms of Mine', the pseudo-doc episode -- very good show. But what a terribly sad ending for Mary (Mandy Moore)... -- http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/10/29/greys-anatomy-spoiler-alex-izzie/? I'm okay with Shonda not killing Izzie off-screen NOW... but maybe next year... I wouldn't MIND seeing Heigl again, but I don't think the show needs it. In hindsight, of course, Izzie dying on the same night George did, in the Season 5 finale, would have made the most sense. |

I'm two behind. Which NEVER used to happen with this show. I'm guess I'm just not as into it this season. I don't care for Owen and Christina AT ALL anymore.....don't like what they're doing with her character since the shooting. I can't stand the Kim Raver character and still am not all that gung ho on April or Jackson. Meredith and Derek are a little boring.....I'm sick of seeing Arizona and Callie constantly sucking face. Geez.....why am I watching this show at all anymore??? :'( |

What a sad eppy, but nice. I think Cristina's troubles are realistic because she was the one operating on Derek with a gun to her head. So sorry about Mary, it's just sad. But nicely written. poor Miranda. It reminds me of the favourite patient of hers from second season. Jeremiah? Who never told his parents he was in the hospital and who died during the operation. |

Anoher great eppy. Too many changes for me, though. I really like this season so much. Hubby is catching up, so I rewatched first four with him again and I love how they deal with the aftermath and everything going on there. This whole season is quite sad but whne I think about the old eppys, GA used to be sad a lot. |

Shelle I didn't know you were married. :wub: I'm not a fan of this season. I guess I miss the 'old days' of Greys with George and Izzy. It's no longer one of my must see shows. My hubby also dropped watching it so that kind of sucks. |

Gate--I'm thinking of dropping it, too. I'm three behind and almost have to make myself watch it. And even when I do, I'm anxious for it to be over. That's not good! :( |

Gate, I'm sure I mentioned hubby before somewhere here. Usually when I succeed and force my shows on him :) Anyway, I love this season very much, it reminds me the first seasons, especially because of the cases and the chemistry and dynamic among the doctors. I miss Izzy a lot, I loved her, but the S1-S3 Izzy, not the one sleeping with married George. I never loved george, I often hated him, but I often liked him, too. So I don't miss him that much. I truly enjoy every eppy and I think the last one was the best so far. Both last two eppys were amazing. I still think there are too many characters and we don't need that many characters there, but it somehow works and I like all of them. April turned out to be a great addition with a better writing for her, I really hated when she was pining after Derek. Sarah Drew deserves much more. I'd suggest you all not to skip the show now, it's really getting better. BTW hubby thinks this season is awesome, he stopped watching during the horror of Denny the ghost, but came back last season, I think. |

Thoughts on #8 (haven't seen #9, the most recent, yet): Cristina and Callie were a lot of fun together at the mall. I love Peter MacNicol, even when he's playing an asshole. Alex/April scene... so sad. Sarah Drew and Chyler Leigh are two of my biggest crushes right now (and Caterina Scorsone on PP, too). The worst scripting on Grey's is always in those fucking Meredith voiceovers. They are terrible. |

I love her voice, she could be reading the yellow pages in every eppy and I would listen to her anyway :) But I get why people don't like them, I don't mind. I loved the new eppy, but I love EVERY eppy this year, what a nice change comparin to the fourth and fifth seasons when I had to force myself to watch. 709 - in no particular order :) - loved the scenes in the car, so funny, like their lunches or when they hang out at their spot in the hall (or wherever the gurneys are) - I've really enjoyed the premsie as they were there by themselves and it had the feeling of the first seasons - not too happy about Mark and Callie - poor Avery - Miranda was brilliant, especially when she sobered up - I always lvoe Meredith with Alex, they are great friends and they always get each other, great touch with them remembering the first day, i keep thinking about it, too, especially when we have scenes with Lexie and Avery or April only - LOVE Derek, the whole MerDer relationship is just great now, I truly enjoy it and am happy with them not being the front and center but having these cute scenes at the beginning or at the end, I think the drama will come with the baby anyway, so why can't we enjoy some calm waters for a change Do we know when Arizona is coming back? |

I don't know when we'll see Arizona BACK (in Seattle), but she should have some sort of presence soon (in the next one, even), via phone or whatever, because I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Capshaw was only gonna be out for two episodes (and this was the second, so...). I liked seeing our people (Bailey and Teddy, especially) drunk, and Cristina bartending, and that exchange between Derek and Joe ("You could fire her for drinking on the job" "I did that two hours ago. Could you take her home?") Yeah, good between Mer and Alex, with the 'Chief said only two of us would make it' and their simultaneously saying that they thought it would be 'Cristina and me'. This was a good one, but I agree - they've all been pretty good this year... |

Loved the new eppy, it was really sad, but nicely done. Not liking Arizona Callie's SL, but I haven't since the Africa news. The whole airport break up was weird, not enough time before and I just hope it was because of the pregnancy and not the real story. I'm glad they've finally addressed Meredith's coping with the aftermath. Everyone was concerned about Cristina and Derek, but she has suffered the same, not that we can measure it. Alex was amazing in the OR and out of it, too. Nice talk with Avery and nice touch with Avery going to the shooter's Mum. I was expecting Cristina to turn out in one of the vans, but I was still surprised when I actually saw her there. |

It's too quiet here :) I think the newest eppy was really great plotwise, I liked the different format. Also, I may be one of the few, but I have always liked Meredith. I may hate what she does, but I still like her and root for her a lot. An eppy with her in charge of the ER is a good eppy for me. The plot with the Dad was very sad. The whole eppy, I was curious whether the Dad or the boy would get in trouble, well, the Dad lost :( What bugged me a bit was Mer touching the patients and the family, it looked too forced and the whole time I was expecting an outbreak of epidemy. The elevator scene - super cute. I simply adore happy MerDer together. I like the new OBGYN doc, but I don't like the cliche with her and Karev - they ahte each other vehemently at first and then it changes in the next eppy. I'd have preferred fot them to be neutral at first, this was again too forced. Not a fan of Teddy's SL with the hubby, but I loved his "As your husband, I think we could do better." Great delivery. |

Bit too much Meredith for me in this one, but yeah, it's good to alter the format every once in a while. Happy to see Josh Randall (Mike from 'Ed') as Teddy's date. Nice to see Adele; it's been awhile. Big 'yuck' to the probable Alzheimer's... hope Richard's argument (well-reasoned, "It's like when you're buying a car, and everywhere you look...") is correct, but... definitely smacked more of denial... what an incredibly sad thought, the TWO great loves of his life having the same disease... Unfair. Cruel. Yeah, the Karev/Lucy romance has begun predictably, that's true. (BTW, that actress, Rachael Taylor, is in the prospective Charlie's Angels reboot with Minka Kelly). Bailey sex in the on-call room - funny. The knife extraction scene was very funny. I'm for Avery 'stealing' Lexie from Mark... |

I liked the last episode format too. Funny with the knife. Very believable and very stupid. I also groaned when Adele had symptoms of Alzheimer and Richard went into denial but my dad has been in denial about my mom for a LONG time and it took him just this year to realize that she's not going to get better. I love Teddy's husband. She's a lucky girl. Baily getting some was hilarious. Go Baily. This season has been kind of a snooze fest. IMO since George and Izzy have been gone the show isn't as good. |

The knife was both funny and scary. I loved the moment when the docs were discussing how to proceed and we could see how the friend was removing it, given the outcome, it was really funny. I've been loving this season as fr me, the snooze fest was before George and Izzy leaving. I loved Izzy and I was her biggest supporter from the beginning, except they've destroyed her character when she had the affair with George. I was never a fan of George. I don't think their departure made the series better, it just got better. I love where it is now. SO Mer cannot take the fertility drugs, will they be heading for an adoption? I'm glad they are working a bit with Peter MacNichol's character, he's amazing and I think his character should be a part of the gang, if possible, not the enemy. Not sure about Lexie and Avery. I just cannot see her working things out with Mark. It's like he's living their life without her, in a way. Being a Dad, grandadm the whole pregnancy. Very sorry for |Richard and Adele, I jsut hope it's not Alzheimer's, but "just" a tumor Derek could operate and she would be OK. On the other hand, very happy to see Loretta back on the canvas, she should visit more often. Curious about Owen and Cristina's future as children could be a dealbreaker. |

I haven't seen this week's yet. I'm loving this season so far. I liked George, I liked Izzie. I don't agree Izzie was destroyed in having an affair with George. I do feel the show is 'better' now that it FEELS like everybody in the cast WANTS to be there... because it HAD been feeling that... even TRYING to ignore tabloid stories and rumors and shit, and solely focus on the STORY and the CHARACTERS, you COULD see the tension on-screen. It did interfere. I liked the original cast and their chemistry, but the writing is far better in recent seasons than it was in the beginning (I know everybody hates the first season of Private Practice, but I think my coming in three years late to Grey's and marathoning to catch up gives me some objectivity - I swear to you that PP1, despite its flaws, was a superior show to GA1). Here, I like the new cast additions, their characters, and how they've been incorporated into the canvas. They're doing good soap. (And it's a BIG cast - 14 regulars...) - I love Peter MacNicol (discussing all the Kelley shows in the Harry's Law thread... his John Cage on Ally McBeal is probably tied for my Most Favorite Kelley character, with Alan Shore...), and I wouldn't mind him sticking around for awhile, but it's probably hard to see him come around and not be such a jerk or antagonist to 'our people'... |

I love GA1 and GA2 the best, I've seen the first seaon like ten times already and I could watch it all oer and over. GA1 and now are very different, but I love them both. I didn't love GA in between. The fourth season and part of the fifth were the worst for me. Not everything and not all the lines, but I wasn't enjoying the show as much as I do now. If there's ever an archive for these season, you'd find me complaining a lot :) Funny, hubby stopped watching during the first half of the fourth season and came back with the beginning of S6, basically skipping the worse years :) BTW When I started watching GA, it was in October or November of the third season, I was home alone and was watching S1 and S2 for two days in a row, almost with no sleep. I remember, my best friend was coming for a girls night IN and when she did, I forced her to watch the finale of S2 and all eppys of S3 that were out to that day, like 5 of them. SHe hasn't finihed watching the first season herself and had to catch up later. Dax, I agree with the tension you describe. To me, it felt lik ethe characters lack the connection they had before, they felt more close in S1 than later. |

I thought the first season was just kinda 'eh'. I probably wouldn't have continued if I didn't know it'd soon get a lot better... I did love Cristina right away (and Heigl, 'cuz she's hot). Grey's at its best - Izzie and the Denny mess, everything going on around that time (the prom episode)... Grey's at its worst - Izzie and Ghost Denny... Comparing ER to Grey's... I prefer ER because it's more 'serious' than 'silly' (unfortunately, for awhile, ER tried to be more like Grey's to capitalize on its success...). Grey's has transitioned from 'original cast' to 'a few originals plus a bunch of newbies' in much the same way ER did (on-screen-wise... off-screen, with a lot more drama, of course). Now it's a question of what will happen if Pompeo decides not to go past Season 8 (which is when Anthony Edwards left ER, too). Weird semi-coincidence... the Season 6 finale of Grey's ('Sanctuary'/'Death and All His Friends') shows on epguides as the series' 126th episode (though I'd argue fewer - I like to count two-hour episodes as one if they aired that way, like 2.26-27, 3.22-23, 4.16-17, 5.1-2, 5.23-24, 6.1-2, but whatever), which is the SAME place (#126, 6.14, 'All in the Family') where ER had Carter stabbed and Lucy killed, an event which brought our 'classic' and 'new' characters together in a way they hadn't been before (ala Jackson and April being 'part of the family' now, more so, post-shooting). |

"Grey's at its best - Izzie and the Denny mess, everything going on around that time (the prom episode)... Grey's at its worst - Izzie and Ghost Denny..." I so agree! Interesing number this 126, don't even remind me the eppy. Still one of my worst TV experience, killing off Lucy was so cruel. I've never mourned a character as much as I did with Lucy. I don't want GA without Mer, for me, she's the glue there. I'm OK with her missing an eppy every now and then, but I don't want her gone. Yes, ER was more serious and I consider it a different kind of hospital drama. But I haven't seen the last five or more seasons. I watched the series finale though, liked it. I did see many eppys in between but not all of them and I lack the continuity, too. |

>> I've never mourned a character as much as I did with Lucy. Really? I like Kellie Martin fine, but I didn't think there were many fans of Lucy... the biggest impression she really made on the show WAS in her death (though I loved the Lucy/Romano dynamic). Such a fantastic episode. (Liza Weil - Paris on GG - was Sobricki's sister, a fun 'Hey!' discovery...). >> I don't want GA without Mer, for me, she's the glue there. I'm OK with her missing an eppy every now and then, but I don't want her gone. I wouldn't mind her going. She's the lead, but I think there's a fine ensemble show without her. I wouldn't mind her staying (it's up to Pompeo), but I think I'd be bummed (and very, very surprised) if Shonda and/or ABC decided to dump a Meredith-less show. I like Pompeo (I think... don't know if I've seen her in anything else... [imdb... - 1 of Friends, three movies - Catch Me If You Can, Daredevil, Old School - well, I don't remember her]). I hate Meredith. Good actress. Very annoying character... >> But I haven't seen the last five or more seasons. I watched the series finale though, liked it. The later seasons had good and bad stuff... cast was good, stories were kinda 'tired' (they HAD done everything, it seemed, so they had to repeat a lot...). I love Maura Tierney - her stuff was always of interest to me... the finale was good (if maybe not as 'special' as one would have hoped... still, I give them points that the entire original cast WAS in the final season, at least...). They are different shows, different tones. But Grey's-doing-ER (the big, more 'serious' episodes) usually comes off better than when ER aped Grey's (they were always good at comic relief touches and characters, but they eventually went a little too far with the cutesy stuff). |

I thought Paris was his wife. Anyway, ER was the first thing I saw KM in. Yes, that impact. EP on Friends is the girl from Ross and CHandler's past, they amde a pact at Uni not to go out with her as the band and friendship were more important, but Chandler secretly made out with her. It's one of the flashbacks eppy, Chandler and Ross go to the eunion and EP is there and tells Ross :) Flashback included, very cute. In Catch me if you can, she's the fiancee of DiCaprio's character, if I remember correctly. As you, I know her from GA and I think she's a really good actress. I agree, Mer can be annoying, but she's a very good doctor and she became a great friend and mentor. ER finale, I was sort of expecting more. Thumbs up for Doug and Carol, or was it the eppy before the finale? I think GA is great at doing more serious episodes - the bomb eppy, the S6 finale and much more. |

Oops, yes. Wife. You're right. Doug and Carol return - four from the end. Finale. I DID like their approach, making it kind of a reprise of the pilot, but I don't know, yeah, somehow wanted MORE. I should re-watch EP's Friends 'one of these days'. Seeing Perry and LeBlanc in new things has kinda been making me nostalgic for Friends... |
