I don't think it's a fantasy, judging from the previews next week. But at the end, I actually blurted out "meredith is such a dirty, rotten slut" oops don't know where that came from! But you know she's just using poor George and I feel bad for him, he's so in love w/her. I actually thought maybe Meredith would get it on w/McSteamy! He was hot!

And Addison totally should have went to the bar to meet up w/McSteamy - she needs to move on.

I loved last night's episode except for like the last two minutes. I wanted to scream at Meredith when George was talking to her. She should have just given him a hug, not taken off HIS FREAKING CLOTHES!!! That sucks because there's no way she feels the same about him as he does about her.

I definitely want Addison to leave McDreamy and go with McSteamy. God, they're both so freaking hot!

Meredith's getting on my nerves a bit. She's alright most of the time, but she seems so whiney and pissy so often too that there's not much to like.

And c'mon but does there have to be so many commercials???

laken1 · Hermes

Yep, all I could think is that she is just SOOO selfish & needy - she doesn't mean it & he loves her - she's going to break his heart. I was hoping Addison would hook up with McSteamy...someone surely needs to..

BTW - how VERY funny was christina & burke dancing? I was rolling laughing at that.

They still really haven't talked about the whole bomb thing though. I thought that was odd.

And the whole izzy thing is cracking me up - she released the beast!!!!!

I actually thought it was really cute how McSteamy told Addison he was in love with her and was there to take her back home with him. She should have gone with him, she knows her marriage is just a sham.

And Meredith--oh man, what a bitch! She is going to break George's heart, the poor guy.

Deuce · Dooney & Bourke

I want McSteamy for Christmas, or any other holiday. He is HOT!!

I cannot believe the George thing either. I think that as soon as Meridith and George get together as a couple then McDreamy will break up with the wife and be ready for a relationship with Meritdith, and new drama will ensue.

I missed this ep, but like on Ally McBeal, the title character (Meredith) is my least fave. She's whiny and self-absorbed like, oh, Ally McBeal!

DC, you are right to compare the two. This show is a lot like Ally McBeal. And I feel the same about Meredith, she's an annoying character, very much so since late in the first season in my opinion! I swear I do like this show, but also...I don't like McDreamy (even though I adore Patrick Dempsey) or George's character either!

she is so missing a father figure and is just like her mother.

i thought it was funny she called her a mother a "filty whore" and she's... very "loving". i don't agree with chicks calling other chicks dirty names.

i hated the ending but i get it now after i read a blog from the writers. george looks just daddy grey so it'd make sense that she went for george that night after seeing her father.

And despite all this life experience? I was, for a very, very long time, WILDLY OPPOSED to Meredith and George hooking up. Like, shouting matches in the writer’s room opposed. Like, storming down the hall to my office and eating vast quantities of Trader Joe’s dark chocolate opposed. I was afraid people wouldn’t forgive Meredith. I wanted very much for Meredith to be healthier than she is. Because now, at 34, I’ve had several years of therapy and it’s hard for me to conceive of making the kinds of decisions that Meredith makes. But Meredith isn’t me now – she’s more like me then. Which, as I mentioned, makes for better television. And even knowing all of that, I was still opposed. Until Shonda had the flash of inspiration that the Mer/George hook-up should come on the heels of Meredith going to see her father. It was like the clouds parted. And suddenly, I completely got it. And I completely forgave Meredith. Here’s why:

My Dad died five years ago today (2/21/01). It sucked ass in a way I find it difficult to describe. The whole month of February sucks for me and on 2/21 every year, it’s hard for me to get out of bed. The loss of a parent is a pain you can only fully understand when you lose a parent. And Meredith has pretty much lost her mom to alzheimers. And here’s what I think about her Dad: I think that for 20 years, Meredith has, somewhere in the deepest part of her psyche, held on to the fantasy that her dad is out there, just waiting to love her. I think she thinks that when she finally makes the effort to know him, he will open his arms, and open his heart and apologize for leaving and just love her like crazy. The news of Ellis’ affair was the opportunity Meredith had needed to finally forgive him enough to approach him. She gathered what had to be a HUGE amount of courage to knock on his door…

And then the fantasy died.

Because Thatcher didn’t throw open his arms. He didn’t apologize. He didn’t invite her in. He didn’t have the right words, he didn’t have the right anything. And to Meredith, that had to feel like a death.

And then she went to a bar and drank.

And then Mark made her hope again, if only briefly, that she could have the man she loves back.

And then she went home and stared out her window in a state that I can only imagine was tremendous pain and loss and grief.

And then George came in. And poor George DID NOT KNOW ANY OF THIS. He was not there to take advantage of her when she was in a vulnerable state. All he knew was that he had spent the entire day working up his courage to finally, finally make her hear him.
And, unwittingly, he said the world’s most perfect things.

He said he would never leave her (like her father did). He said he would never hurt her (like Derek did). He said he would never stop loving her.

And he was safe and familiar and so incredibly kind. And she wanted that kindness in her life very badly. She wanted to be a healthy woman who would choose the nice guy who loved her and stop chasing the sexy, unavailable guys who didn’t (or couldn’t). And even though she had high hopes in the moment that she crossed that line, I’m guessing, that it didn’t go very well in the long run.

Thanks exsupahero! That makes me feel better about them hooking up. (Yes, I've been upset about it.

) Poor George.
