Grey's - OMG...Seriously?

[ilovepooh]

Um, Grey's Anatomy...

If they kill her off, they'll have to change the title to 'Grey's Anatomy lives on in another body because she was an organ donor'...it just doesn't have the same ring...

So is anyone else wondering more about this little girl than anything else?

I was wondering what that was all about too. I also mentioned in the other thread that I thought it was strange that so many important doctors weren't doing surgeries on the hundreds of injured patients....??? I know she is one of them, but I thought there would be more confusion going on at the end. Did anyone else wonder the same thing?

The pregnant ladies face reminds me of Mer's step mom.

I'm a big spoilerfix.com nut, and this was taken directly from the spoilerfix.com site, from the spoiler for this week. Highlight between the asterisks if you want to be "spoiled"....

**02/13 - What I can tell you is that (1) there is a death this week, (2) there is another death next week, and (3) one of those deaths will stick. Source: Kristin on E!Online
Sources say Meredith is the one who dies but will be revived and that her mother will be the permanent death. [mking624's note: Kristen has been wrong in the past, but more often than not, she's right]**

I think it is a play on words though....the medical book...versus Mer's body which was getting around quite a bit their for a while.

Yes, I agree. It's a play on words... It comes from the Gray's Antatomy books (Sort of the Britanica of Antomy books) but it's spelled with an "e" because of the character Meredith Grey... I don't think of (MHO) her as the main character I think it's more of an ensemble show. I do believe in the first season it was more centered around her though. I was simply bringing up the Antomy book because it was mentioned in reference to the title on one of the entertainment shows earlier in the week.

Like I said before I do not think they would kill her off though....I think it would have been promoted differently then it has been. JMO I will certainly be sitting wide eyed in front of the tv next Thursday night though!

Really? I couldn't even tell what her face looked like, it was so swollen. The makeup department definitely made that look realistic!

I thought it was sweet how Carev told Addison he would notice if she went missing

Yes, definitely. To take that many surgeons out of the main area to wait in a hallway was not the smartest decision. Alex described it well when he and George were in the morgue (sp?). When George asked him 'don't you care that all these people are dead?' and he responded with 'not when I'm at work'. Work separate from personal...you can feel badly afterward but at that point it was only the job. That connected somehow in my brain to the second sentence but it's gone now.

I said the exact same thing to my husband!!!

 

[DISUNC]

If she isn't dead, they will do the old "hypothermia preserved her brain function" thing - which can happen if you are seven years old. I don't know that it works all that often for adults...

Thats what they did to me!!!!!

He is totally soft when it comes to Addison!

 

[freckles and boo]

Thats what they did to me!!!!!

Now, you see, there is a precedent! Of course she will live. I hope.

Wait a minute, forget about Meredith, what about the BORE HOLES?? Can you just imagine the neurosurgeons all over the country just CRINGING with this episode!!! That was nasty.

Great episode and we are newbies to this show. Its addicting for sure.

Haha, my mom was sitting there on the couch covering her ears with a blanket going 'it's just a wall, she just drilling a hole in the wall...'. I am personally fine with that kind of stuff. Her, not so much.

I can't believe 3 pages later people are still debating Grey & Gray. It's not like it's a mere coincidence that Meredith's name is Grey - sounding like the book. As much as we are attached to these characters like they are real, we have to remember: They wrote it that way.

Ellen Pompeo was on Oprah a while back saying it was first called Grey's Anatomy after her - the voice over at the beginning of the show is because it's from HER point of view. Then they decided to change it to some lame, generic title, but at the last minute changed it back - because it IS through Meredith's eyes.

I thought that too when Bailey sent Burke out to keep looking for that kid. He's a surgeon, but then his skills aren't needed with that many injured people. Karev too, for that matter - going around taking pics of everyone. Shouldn't nurses or admin people have been dispatched to do those jobs?

I wish i had not watched it....I feel the little girl is a weird link and remeber earlier mer was in the bathtub..Some how it is all related in a strange way...And ya no they didnt say nothing about her mom or her surgery this week ..Something is gonna happen big next week ...

 

[KristinBelle]

I'm sure next week she'll be fine. I was more shocked at how Izzie talked to George, seriously what the heck was that about? She acts like Callie is an axe murderer or something, chickie's gone over the edge.

The little girl is a metaphor for Meredeth. She's lost without her mom, and she won't speak up. I wonder how the little girl being reunited with her mom, and the mom apologizing for being "lost" (Mer's mom is "lost" in her own way), will tie in with Meredeth's/Mer's Mom storyline?

Also, am I the only one who yelled at the TV "I DO NOT NEED TO SEE HOLES BEING DRILLED INTO A SKULL!"? I've watched a ton of surgeries over the years, both on video in anatomy classes, and in person at vet offices, medical stuff never bothers me, but drill going into skull squicked me out!

From the Grey's Writers blog, since Shonda says everything better than me:

"Ferry boats are a metaphor for Meredith, you know.

What I was interested in was Meredith and how she was doing after being hurt by her mother. And the devastation of the ferry boat was the best way to physicalize Meredith’s pain.

The little girl? She’s also a metaphor for Mer. A motherless lost girl who can’t speak for herself and disappears? Okay, that’s too obvious. But you all know Meredith’s been doing a dance with death for some time. Y’all know that if you’ve been watching. She’s dark, our girl. She’s dark and twisty. And I worry about her.

Now, I’m really worried about her because she’s in the water and I want to be clear with you: I don’t put people in the water for no reason. Meredith’s got issues, she’s got serious Mommy issues and she’s broken and she’s in the water.

I killed Denny. I blew up Dylan.

I’m not entirely playing by the rules of TV here."

(This is her post about last week's episode. Look, she totally foreshadowed the Denny/Dylan thing!)

It's definitely not something doctor's would normally be doing but it's a show. They needed him to do that for the sake of the storyline. I guess in trying to show how all the intern's are being affected by what has happened, they needed a way for Alex to interact with the victim's families. We see him trying to located the husband/family of the pregnant Jane Doe and in turn, he has to deliver the bad news to the man who's wife (also pregnant) was killed. It's a way to make it more personal for the sake of the show. Grey's Anatomy may be a medical drama but if people just wanted to see the medical side they would be watching Discovery Health or something. It's all about the characters and the human side of things for shows like this.
