This wasn’t a fantastic episode for me but it was ok. A few highlights:
- Didn’t like the way Bailey acted through the episode but I guess a lot of us have been there. Or I have. I could relate to her speech at the end.
- I liked the Mer/Der hand holding.
- I liked Lexie’s speech to Meredith at the end. Mer was out of line with her comment.
- Glad it looks like Gizzie has ended.
- I liked the girl in the OR with McDreamy. I thought it might have been Lexie at the time. I like her comment though that she had been in 38 surgeries with him and he had just noticed her. I’ve felt like that a lot. Invisible to people. More so as a teenager than now.
- Christina was hilarious not-running to the surgery.
- And I loved her answer to Mer’s question about not skipping any class. "No, never, not once." Something like that. I never did skip a class in school or college either.
- I liked Callie’s explanation to the girl about her demotion. I have never aspired to be a manager just because I like to program so much and don’t want to manage people programming.
- I liked the overall theme of the show about how you never really grow up. Definitely could relate to the theme although I think the show itself could have been better. It seems to me the writing this year has been less intent on moving the stories forward. Like Chief acting like a wife just to make it funny and Bailey’s speech to McDreamy seemed less about the fact that they would actually have that conversation than the writers just wanting to work in that conversation. I don’t know, maybe I’m way off base.
