Okay, I dearly love Grey's Anatomy. I really do. It's so well written and it's pretty much my second love, only rivaled by my first love of Supernatural. But tonight's episode, I was actually able to watch it at the original airing time, but only because Supernatural is on re-runs.
Anyway, these past...three weeks have been a three parter episode thing on Grey's. Now, I'm all for cliffhangers, but the two in a row done killed me dead. It all started with pretty much the starting of an episode, and a disaster happens and the chief tells the inters that they need to go out into the field. They get there...and the sight that meets them is a hug ferry boat that crashed into the dock and there is a lot of carnage and just people dying and fires....
The first thing that's said when they all get it is "Sweet mother of god." Courtesy of Izzy.
So the interns all split up, everyone goes their separate ways and they each find patients to look at. Now, Meridith finds this little girl that's basically catatonic, and so Meridith takes the little girl around with her, and they find a guy near the edge of the dock who needs help, so Meridith starts to help him and he ends up bucking and throwing her off the edge of the dock and into the water below.
Now understand this:
In the episode before this, Meridith's mom is lucid. For those who don't know, Meridith's mom has Alzheimer's. Anyway, she became lucid and basically told Meridith that she'd raised her to be more than ordinary, but then she just ended up being ordinary, even after five years. So in the current episode, Meridith just kinda sticks her head under the bathtub and wants to stay there, but Derek pulls her up.
Now she's in the water, and she fought for a little...but then just gave up. And Bam. First episode ends.
Next episode starts up next week, I'm totally bouncing off the walls for this one. Now, Izzy has her defining moment in this one that just makes me all happy inside. She helps a guy that's trapped under a car, and his buddies are there and so she tries to keep her cool as she helps this guy. Well, she ends up helping him and the chief takes her off probation. And I did a dance at that.
While this is going on, Derek finds the catatonic girl, and he knows she was with Meridith, so he asks her where she is. Well, the little girl doesn't answer, but he leads her to the edge of the dock and points. Derek jumps in and pulls Meridith out, and they take her to the hospital where they begin working on her and it pretty much seems like a hopeless case. And they finally kick Derek out because of his emotional attachment. This episode ends with Meridith waking up, seeing Bomb squad guy...and Denny. Yes, Denny. So she's looking between the two and she finally goes "Am I dead?" Denny nods "Damn right you are."
Now we come to tonight's.
It starts with Meridith watching Bomb Squad Guy and Denny basically arguing with each other. Then Bomb Squad Guy leaves so Denny starts talking to her. Trying to get her to see that she needs to go back. Then they start going to different parts of the hospital and there's some really emotional stuff that happens between the two of them. Pretty much shattered my heart.
There's one part near the end where Denny and Meridith are sitting across from each other and Denny suddenly closes his eyes, and he gets this huge smile on his face. Meridith asks what he's doing, and he tells her that sometimes him and Izzy are in the exact same spot at the exact same time, and it's almost like he's holding her, and he can almost hear her voice. Then he tells her that that's all Meridith will get if she stays. Just moments. Short moments. And she wouldn't want that. Then he tells her that her friends are barely breathing from what's happened to them before they met Meridith, and that if she died, they'd basically all snap.
Now while she's talking to Denny, the doctors are working as hard as they can to get her back, and nothing they've done is working. Finally, they get this idea to warm her up and begin trying it. They almost declare her dead when she suddenly comes back. In the other life, she told them that she didn't want just moments with them. She wanted to go back and be with them, but it was almost too late. Then she sees her mom in there, and her mom tells her that Meridith had always been anything but ordinary. And then...she dies and Meridith comes back.
The whole emotional thing that happened in the scenes with Meridith and Denny...they were just too awesome. I love JDM's acting. He's way awesome. And that whole episode was just a roller coaster ride from the very beginning. Then the end...Izzy felt Denny and Denny felt Izzy. It was *cries* Ohh boy. I loved the entire three-part thing. The emotions that those actors and writers put into the show, it's just amazing. It's no secret why I love this show.
And...now Ima end my rant...Ta ta :P
