[nostalgia] grey's anatomy | "I'm getting old and I need something to rely on..."
Before we begin tonight's installment of Grey's Anatomy: The Great, Long-awaited Re-watch, I was listening to The Wombats today and I decided 'Sex and Questions Marks' was clearly written with this show in mind, and I don't mean that on a within verse level, though it probably works for that, too, but no, more a Show/waltzmatildah kind way...
When all I really needed was sex and question marks,
life was euphoric when we didn't know much.
And now I'm a ghost and you've lost your spark.
What happened oh, what happened to us?
What happened oh, what happened to us?
To us...
Oh, what happened to us?
To us...
On that note, episode two: 'The First Cut is the Deepest'.
And we open with the 'previouslies' which feature George repeating his plaintive "We'll survive this, right?" to Meredith and waltzmatildah is already cued to GUARD HER POOR, POOR HEARRRRTTTT FROM INEVITABLE ANNIHILATION. The PTSD trigger ratio is hiiiiigh with this one...
MY SWEET BEBE IZZIE IN ALL HER GLORIOUSLY IMPULSIVE NAIVETE. OHHHH! I loved everything about Izzie's storyline in this episode. From her brush off of the guy who recognises her from her modelling days, to her calling Cristina to translate (and Cristina's take down of her White Girl Assumptions in the very same scene), to her treating the Chinese mother and then her daughter in the car park, to Katherine Heigl looking like a goddess while standing in the rain, and then back to Izzie's excitement when Meredith said she and George could move into the house.
LOOK AT THESE BABIES!!

More Cristina truth-bombs...
Cristina: "I need a drink, a man, or a massage. Or a drunken massage by a man. What's wrong with you?"
George: "Lost five patients on the code team today. I feel like the angel of death."
C: "George, 95% of all code patients can't be revived. Most of them are seriously dead before you even get there."
G: "What?! Why didn't you tell me that when I was going on and on about how great it was going to be?"
C: "Because. You're George, and I'm Cristina."
THE ELEVATOR MADE ITS OFFICIAL ENTRANCE AS AN INANIMATE CHARACTER!! In much the same way Meredith's Mum's house and the tunnels did in the pilot. I love all the inanimate characters and their significance to this show. SO MANY TO COME. The trailer. Joe's. Really Old Guy's room. Alex's Black Wife-beater of Hotness. GIVE IT TO MEEEEE.
Favourite scene:

Meredith's faaaaaace!!! The four of them HAPPY! And ALIVE! And relatively free of intense psychological trauma. BRIGHT, NOT SO SHINY BABIES OF MY FOREVER HEART.
The end.
