I rarely think babies are cute when they are just born.....but maybe that's just me.
-I LOVED Arizona's reaction to when Callie tried to give reason to Arizona's lack of desire for kids. It showed a pretty hardcore side of Arizona that for once wasn't all bubbly smiles and perkiness. I liked it a lot...I pretty much loved Arizona throughout the entire episode..from the beginning sarcasm about not being able to go to Spain, to the ending emotional kiss during Callie's breakdown
Random Thoughts... -IDK what Jessica Capshaw or Arizona was looking at...but it totally looked like she was taking a sneak peekers at Callie's lovely cleavage when she came into that lounge room.
-Mark being angry made me giggle....but that's probably due to Eric Dane's lack of acting skills....I'm sure he's not THAT bad of an actor, but in comparison to the rest of the GA cast, he falls flat to me.
-My imaginary future child will for sure have Juicy Couture onesies..lol
this episode was epic. the ending was so intense and you could really feel just how they loved eachother. arizona was angry and hurt but she comforted callie anyway because she loves her so much. callie was trying to give up her dream to be with arizona. the whole scene was intense. the touching, the kissing, everything. we got so much of them in this episode.
the part that was really hard to watch was the one where arizona was like i thought i liked you in my life i hope im not wrong. or something like that. that felt like an ultimatum. it was like she was making callie choose.
Meg Marinis’ debut episode was impressive and I hope she’ll be back to write more. From a C/A viewpoint I thought job # 1 on her to do list was *dirtyify* AZ and we definitely saw a side heretofore hidden. The ep progressed and her iron will, raised-in-a-military-family take charge was displayed again and again - contrasted almost tantalizing with birth and smushy baby time and the loving persistence of Callie, both of which might have given her pause, but didn’t seem to. Arizona’s harshness appeared to escalate from the first moments of their arguing to her lash of “I like my life…..hope I wasn’t wrong” and I admit to an audible gasp and a verbal “Don’t say that!” when I first watched. Anger, trust, frustration - given the finale resolution it was difficult to predict at this point if Arizona is being totally open or is masking her issues. Yet, with perspective it is sensible, because the people we love the most are so often the same people we hurt the most - they are at the core of our greatest fears and insecurities and bear our

I'm a little in love with Meg Marinis. I hope she gets assigned a couple eps in the new season. She even made me semi-interested in Jackson and the "big hook" line and Meredith in the elevator felt old school Grey's--fun and snarky with moments of character insight. And Bailey was awesome this ep. And, wow, did she give us intense C/A that felt honest of both characters.
According to your algebraic formula, we get lots of Mark screen time a la emoting in Derek's office because he can't convey the meaning of a scene without emotionless yelling and throwing things while we get little 30 second snippets of C/A because Capshaw and Ramirez are just too damn amazing for their own good? An example being, according to the podcast, the cut scene from this ep of Callie calling Arizona the baby whisperer. I'm terrible at math but that looks valid to me. :)
"According to your algebraic formula, we get lots of Mark screen time" ......... " we get little 30 second snippets of C/A because Capshaw and Ramirez are just too damn amazing for their own good?

And at least one and more likely two missing scenes from the 2nd hour of the finale? Callie singing, for sure......they were clipping along at nicely spaced intervals in the 1st hour then 2nd hour - the dynamite magic smiles and heard from no more until the last moments in the parking lot.
No math scholar here either, but it sure seems that way. :-(
Authorities please correct me if this is not accurate....I believe Maranis read and vetted the comments on the writer's blog for a couple of years, so I suspect she has some unique insights into characters and the depths of scrutiny many of us apply to them. Hope she is back for more.
You're right, the arguments were well written. I think Meg proved that she really gets the characters. Her game was on. SHE is allowed to write Arizona; some other writers, not so much....
Now that I think about it, I'd agree that this is their most intimate scene to date. Before this, I probably would have said Arizona in the lounge consoling Callie after things didn't go well with her father. I think this scene topped that, (but it's going to lose it's place next week. BREAKUP ALERT!)

I actually felt it when Arizona said "I hope I'm not wrong"...I think we were supposed to. Round 3, Arizona!
