When I heard Meredith say "She-Shephard" in the elevator, my first thought was, "Did the writers get that from TVGasm??" Good job McGasmic!

Some of the finest recapping around. Great work m_ruv.

The fact that Meredith seems happy and finally maybe moving on is already a good sign and the hair was really nice this episode,so that made me love this episode.And yes,m_ruv! you should be given credit with that She-Shepard quote!

Top drawer recap!

I fell off my futon when Meredith said "She-Shepherd" too! That WAS the first time, wasn't it?

Ruprecht. BINGO! Perfect casting!

I'm not gonna hate on you for the Denny question. Just that I'd be all over him like a cheap suit, catheter and all. It's a chick thing. Hot, sensitive, captive audience. You know once he's mobile there will be too much competition.

The Izzie/Christina confrontation was some of the best TV I've seen in a long time. That shit was awesome. I also have to give props to asshole Alex for telling George how it is - someone had to!

I looooove me some Denny. The name's a smidge dorky but it's all part of his appeal. He's super sexy.

good show, good show i say!

i dont know why, but i really do like she-shepard. shes an amusing, quirky character. as for denny FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST KILL THE SOB RIGHT NOW. NO ONE CARES. all he does is draw out the weak, pathetic excuse for a story line that currently entangles izze. bring her trailer park daughter back, or have her get shot so she can share a room with denny. DO ANYTHING, this story line is rapidly turning into the marissa cooper/ryan atwood story line of the OC.

sidenote: the only time i touched damn warner bentleys nose, i got a c- on my calc exam. ass.

the only time i touched damn warner bentleys nose,

The only time I touched Warner Bentley's nose was when I saw a tour group around and didn't want to make the tour guide look dumb after telling everybody we touched his nose for good luck.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ALEX??? I mean, I understand he is jealous and everything, but why is he really trying to hurt Denny? Its not like hes just trying to cock block, he actually wants this guy to DIE!!! Does he honestly think that by acting the way he is that Izzie will love him? BEcause the way Im seeing it and the way they are laying on the "Alex is an asshole" Id agree with Izzie that even if denny dies, he way more of a man than ALex will ever be!!!

JERK!

Oh yes and even as big of an ass as Alex is, he was spot on when it came to George. He really didnt need a kick in the ass! Thumbs up!!

I meant he really DID need a kick in the ass, whoops

I had to pause it and brag to my wife that She-shepard was from tvgasm. Not totally sure why I was bragging, but probably mainly so that she knew that I was "in the know".

I thought they overdid the Alex as and a-hole thing. No need to take it as far as they did.

Sweet Dirty Rotten Scoundrels reference..."Ruprecht, do you want the genital cuff?"

I thought the stalker chick looked like Melina (insert unpronouncible Greek last name here)from Providence.

Awesome recap m_ruv. The recaps and the show itself keep getting better. This show has totally avoided the sophomore slump. By the way, what college is this statute at?

God this show SUCKS!!!

first thing i thought too when the "she-shepard" was said. . .i thought of YOU! you're in the "know", gasmic-dude! lol

yeah, the best had to be izzy threatening christina. . .hilarious!

When I heard her start talking about Warner Bentley's nose (which I happily rubbed whenever I passed- good thing I graduated in time before the pinkeye breakout) I knew it would be a great ep for the Dartmouth folk. AND THEN SHE SHEP WAS MENTIONED! I just about died of joy. And when I thought there were no new heights, Izzy pulled out that kick your ass line and I knew, I knew, my favorite character ever in the history of TV was solidified as IZZIE WILLY NILLY. what a night.

I agree with you, m-ruv. I don't think Denny's all that, but the ladies love him. He is a gentleman and we have Alex to compare him to.

index-Meredith's hair looked way better too.

Question? I thought that Denny couldn't leave the hospital if he had the gizmo put in his chest... Then how come he came to SGH via ambulance?

Too bad this Sunday is a rerun:(

Awesome recap, KICK ASS episode! I gasped when Meredith said 'She-Shepherd'. Anyways, I loved this episode. I can't recall anything I didn't like. I don't care that Alex was mean to George because, yes George was getting just ridiculous and too childish. Can't wait for next week's new episode.

Great recap!

index(#3)-i noticed Mere's hair too-I think they are trying to pump her up to bring her crashing back down with the whole PTSD that was hinted at on the website.

They had to make Alex an ass again, he was starting to become likable. Once they make the resident asshole a good guy it's boring. And yeah, George did need the ass-chew.

"Clay Aiken rear-ended." Awesome.

Am *I* the only one not allowed to use a cell phone in a hospital?

Is George's head really that big??

damn_gina - good point. and awesome screen name.

This was a great episode! Props to you m_ruv for getting to hear your "she-Shepard" on the show. I noticed it too and thought of you. :)

AvaMarie- Denny didn't come to the hospital by ambulance. He's been there since the last surgery, He can't leave until he gets a new heart now. I like the storyline between him and Izzie. They're cute together, and you know she's too sweet to be with an asshole like Alex (even if she can kick some Asian ass)!

Thanks for the comments everybody.

#20 - George's head is GIGANTIC: http://www.tvgasm.com/images/greysanatomy/season2/greys2-19-06m.jpg

Also, #16 - I'm pretty sure Denny didn't arrive with the ambulances, but rather the interns were paged because his condition was worsening. It just all happened at once, right after Cristina said it was a quiet day.

Congrats on the "She-Shepherd" I was shocked when I heard it. At the very least you should get writing credits. Maybe soon they will have an episode on Meredith's poor bedside manner because of her inablilty to show emotion through her botoxed face.

I like Denny because his weak ineffectual heart won't stop beating and it really pisses alex off.

I hope you've been lifting weights Alex because that head is HUGE.

-hilarious m_ruv! i caught the she-shepherd thing too. we tv-gasmers are so cool and in the know ;-)

m-ruv

im clearly really stuck on this for some reason ... the picture that you show is TR Knights head compared to Ellen Pompeo's head...could it be that her head is just really really small?! she is a tiny lady ... but alas i will watch the rerun this sunday and check it out for myslef and report back my thoughts ...

D-Hoffs, yeah that could be. But any objective measurements aside, for the purposes of this column his head is OFFICIALLY HUGE.

When I saw Meredith take a sip of cocoa and then toss it, my first thought was 'drink the cocoa, you scrawny bitch!'

Of course she was probably thinking 'took sip of cocoa... must spend hour on treadmill.'

She has been looking nicer though, I'm detecting more facial expressions.

As for Denny, he has pretty eyes.

Great recap m_ruv

m ruv

got it, i will try and move on.

oh how i CAN'T stand George, hate him, he's awful, like a turd that just won't flush. i wish he'd go away.

Alex is acting like a jealous w'man---one whose b'frnd gets stolen---how often do men really act like that & go thru all that trouble? unlikely.

& Izzie kicking Cris' ass? about as likely as Jesus showing up to referree the match.

Thanks everyone for clearing up the Denny/no ambulance/pager thing. My friend reminded me of that after I posted... oops:)

Tv-- #18
What do you mean about Meredith and PTSD? Because of the bomb? Where did you see that at on the website???

Last season I barely paid attention to this show. Desperate Housewives WAS so good that this show seemed bland and pointless in comparison. It's a good thing that Grey's Anatomy stepped it up this season because I would definitely be bored on Sunday nights before heading to the club lol

This epi was definitely DOPE...the Cristina/Izzy exchange was hot...classic

**I starting yelling when I heard Meredith say "She-Shepard"...I say you sue lol**

m_ruv I truly love your recaps but as one of your many black fans, let me advise you: don't wear out the 'flava' quotient playa! I know who George looks like with the new haircut. It is Linda Hunt of some movies I was too high to remember the names of in the 80s-90s. Something action-packed though- I think I remember her as a robot/warrior and in a flick with Arnold S.

v59—ha point taken. I'll make the recaps officially flavaless for at least two weeks, I promise! It's still bothering me who George looks like—I don't really know Linda Hunt well. He didn't look as ladylike this week so maybe they're remasculinizing him.

Great recap! Photo captions especially fabulous. Izzy has slowly become my favorite - if you haven't yet, you have to hear Heigl on the DVD commentary, she's a complete spaz / riot - and this week sealed it. And I'm in the minority, I know, but for some reason George's foolish antics were so bizarre that I was rolling. Possibly my comedic maturity needs work. Or maybe I was just glad for a break from the hang-dog, lost puppy silliness...

why are you no longer recapping greys? i look forward to them each week....

Nope it's coming it's coming! I'm just waiting for screencaps from J-Unit/B-Side. (I live in the dark ages and don't have a TiVo.)
