And that's the end of Thursday ...

[apocalypsos]

EIGHT DAYS?! What, is that eight million dollars magical? Does it come with happy little woodland sprites who are all too happy to wave their magic wands and make an entire building appear? I would suspend disbelief about the sudden appearance of the clinic if Izzie hadn't spent the entire episode acting like a ginormous tool. Perhaps McSteamy's tolerability this week and Alex's rapid movement away from dickishness are due to some sort of shedding of a layer of skin that is attaching itself to Izzie like leeches. That's the only explanation I can think of for her bitchy treatment of Callie.

Seriously, I DO NOT GET IT. Why is it that the women in this hospital feel the need to treat Callie like the devil incarnate while McSteamy, who is universally acknowledged to be a festering dicksmack, gets off relatively scot-free considering his level of idiocy? Don't move in, Callie! The next thing you know, you'll wake up in a full nelson with Izzie pressing your face into the floor while Nurse Olivia comes at you with a camera and a pair of clippers.

I just ... GRRRR. What bothers me most about these women and how they treat Callie is that it reflects badly on how they think of George. Izzie can be his best friend and be there for him when his dad dies and support him at every turn, but the fact that she seems incapable of showing the least bit of common respect and decency to his wife is ridiculous.

And I'm not including Meredith in that, because she was nice to George and her comments about it being a good- or Meredith-level thing seemed more about the marriage than they were about Callie. And I'm not including Christina because I highly doubt Christina gives a damn. And I'm barely including Nurse Olivia because it's not like she said that shit to Callie's face.

So, just Izzie then. Damn it.

What the hell happened to the Izzie I liked, man? *headdesk*

Speaking of people I used to like and now can barely stand, I would have been squealing happily about the Burke and Christina engagement and thinking that they were adorable last season. Now all I can feel is vague queasiness.

On the other hand, Ellen Pompeo did an amazing job this episode. I've never been much of a Meredith fan (well, unless she's stoned), but dealing with that woman explains a LOT. Is it bad that I'm grateful she's all Alzheimered up again? She's troublesome when she's sick, but when she's lucid she's a stone bitch.

Addison sleeping with Mark ... oh. Not that I blame her, and I'm not mad or anything because as somebody pointed out on the TWoP boards (yes, I went to the TWoP boards ... kill me) at least if she's having sex with Mark she's having ethical inappropriate sex rather than the unethical inappropriate sex she'd be having with Alex. (Which I really, REALLY want her to have eventually. Don't get me wrong.) I'm not sure why, but I feel sorry for Mark, though. I mean, he's a dicksmack (my new favorite word ... yay!). He fucks over everybody. He deserves to get a taste of his own medicine eventually. And yet, with the pulling her out of the OR, and the petting of her hair when she was having oxygen later, and seeming to give more of a shit about her going into the OR than her own ex-husband did, I do feel a wee bit sorry for him. He's awfully touchy about her for someone whose cock is apparently a universal cure-all.

Wow, I didn't expect to talk that much. Or should I say, bitch that much? Heh. :)

pretty much ditto to your thoughts. Ellen did an amazing job in her scenes with her mother, especially when she was crying.

Izzie... *sighs* I love her, so it pains me to see her act like a tool. It's the whole Denny storyline that's the problem.

I <3 Callie and I don't understand the hate... I so felt for her when she was talking to Addison and said the line about the hungry bear that sees the cute intern.

Maybe Mark waved his magic dick and created the clinic.
Agreed that Mark is an asshole, but he is [in his own twisted way] in love with Addison. And the way Addison kept staring at Alex *snerk*

I loved how happy Christina and Burke were, but they have ISSUES.

I 100% agree with everything you said. I just don't get the Callie hate. The only thing I can figure is that they picture George as, instead of a man, some kind of pet and don't like it that he isn't totally dependent on them.

What, exactly, is there to hate about Callie? I ask you! What is there? Is she too awesome? Is that it?

I flove Callie and Addison as total BFFs. I want to hang out with them and live vicariously through Addison's sex with Alex. Which she must, must have for the sake of my fantasies.

And seriously? Eight days? The only thing I can think is that there was some abandoned building that was fixed up in eight days.

I'm just not even going to think about bitch!Izzie. The Izzie that's on my version of Grey's is nice and snarky but still nice, especially to her best friend's wife.

Man. I hate hating Isaiah Washington because I really love this Burke/Christina stuff.

EXACTLY. What is with these women? I mean, someone else said that he is their male friend and as their male friend, they're protective. No, this is not protective, this is mean. "Protective" is when you laugh with them and wrap an arm around their shoulders and say, "If you upset him, I kill you." And then you go back to being nice to them. THAT'S IT.

And what gets me is that a week after the man lost his father, when his emotions are still undoubtedly in upheaval, and when he's still riding high on the "Vegas bubble", Izzie's treating his wife like a dirty slut. I just ... just ... ARGH.

In news that makes me happy, YES. Addison and Callie are so freaking adorable together, and I love that as soon as Addison found out about the wedding she gave her a great big hug and told her her ring was beautiful. (And it was, Callie! Don't listen to Izzie!)

I'll second the hating the IW hate. Damn, Christina looked so damn giddy and all I wanted to do was reach through the TV screen, shake her and tell her to run in the opposite direction.

Lines of deliciousness. Brilliant.

I can't believe Izzie's still treating Callie like a dirty interloper. Come on, they've been dating for months now. Is Izzie that traumatized by seeing Callie topless that one time? Did Callie drop Izzie on her head when she was a baby?

I didn't see the ring. Did they show the ring? I can't remember what it looks like. And fuck you, Izzie, tiny diamonds are lovely.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You know Christina's ring? Think the opposite of that. There was more band than diamond -- it was little more than a chip.

I mean, very, very pretty, and the smile on Callie's face when she showed it off made it even more so, but it was a good show of the contrast between what an intern can buy you and what a cardiothoracic surgeon can buy you.

(Me, personally? I want a VERY small sapphire chip. I'm not a big fan of jewelry anyway, especially when it's terribly expensive like that.)
