Funny that you use the "rub the lotion on the skin" caption. The actress who played Dr. Hahn was the same one who played the senator's kidnapped daughter in the Silence of the Lambs.

As for the FIRST HALF of the ridiculously long season finale, it's taking a hell of a lot of liberties. I know this is supposed to be a dramedy and whatnot but the stuff that happened last night rocketed into The Implausibility Zone.

oh. my. dear. God!! I couldn't believe what i was seeing when this episode aired last night! i am so glad that they aren't making us wait until next week for the conclusion. Seriously, when did Izzie get get so crazy that she needs to be locked up?? Now she's (probably) killed Denny, and her career is gone. crazy ejit.

I agree with you msado, the suspension of disbelief is getting pretty tough to do. Who is the medical advisor on this show? Why would a person sign DNR papers yet be a candidate for a heart transplant that used every bit of technology and "heroics" that modern medicine can provide? HELLOooo, we're going to cut out your old icky diseased heart and run your blood through machines and use a ventilator to keep the rest of your body alive--how the hell are we supposed to re-start your new heart unless we RESUSCITATE YOU! (OK, breathing hard, must.stop ranting.).

On the other hand the idea of a quick hand-job between CPR cycles had me laughing hysterically (it'll be hard to go to a code blue and not think about that).

Izzie's histrionics had me hovering over the MUTE button as I yelled, "Couldn't you just unplug the thing instead of cutting the tubing?" **insert eye rolling emoticon here***

Will I be watching tonight? You betcha!

You are freakin hilarious!! Love it!

And we all knew Izzie was gonna go crazy-it was just a matter of time. But she went fuckin nuts!!

And you always come up with the best captions for the pictures!!

Oh Msado,

I am SOOO mad that you pointed that out first. I knew that I recognized her last night and just realized who she was looking at the screen-cap. Now I can't get "American Girl" out of my head. Way to steal my thunder. : )

"Actually wait, that was Under the Tuscan Sun." Ahhh, perfect m-ruv.

"Cristina says THANKS with a classic shit-eating grin." Favorite part of the whole episode!

I also liked that wimpy dude not only ducked behind his gal, but shoved her INTO the line of fire. High comedy in the midst of all the madness.

Why do I buy into the overly sentimental crap between crazy in love Izzie and Denny, but not the plausibility of the Mer/Fin/McDreamy love triangle? I wish I knew, but maybe it's just b/c I'm a softie.

i think the writers wrote this episode with the sole purpose of getting me to HATE every characters on the show. im hoping with every tingling in my body that all this is a set up to get rid of lizzy, FOREVER.

The love child of Halle Berry & Natalie Portman is Sidney Poiter's daughter actually..

I liked this episode, and I am with zoobabe about buying into the Izzie/Denny relationship. I guess I'm a sucker.

I am SO glad that Izzie is gone (just hoping that it sticks). I thought the most implausible thing was that she was not fired on the spot, as it was obvious that it was her. And it was absurd to think that George, Meredith AND CRISTINA (?!?) would all risk their entire medical careers to help out that nutcase. I can't imagine in the real world that all four of them wouldn't have been fired!

M_ruv, in last night's episode, Meredith actually started laughing when she was with Finn, and it was incredibly freaky. I thought of you, and fully expect the pic posted, haha. It looked like the lovechild of Skeletor and Teri Hatcher (or maybe just Teri Hatcher) having a giggle.

And UGH, another McDreamy/Mer "cliffhanger." Those two are really getting on my nerves. I really liked when Callie called Meredith out on her being so dopey about Derek when people around her were dying from gun shot wounds. Crazy.

All in all, I loved these eps!

All this nuttiness right after ABC went to all the trouble last week to show how everything was completely researched to ensure credibility...NOT!

m_ruv- i've never actually agreed with you about izzie. i always thought she was just kind of emotional. until sunday night. and literally, i sat there on my bed screaming "tvgasm is right! this girl is certifiable!" congrats for spotting that before the rest of the world. you are my new hero.

sweetjane- i wholeheartedy agree. All season long ive thought izzie was a fun, zany character. last night I just wanted her to go away forever.

Did anyone else feel like they were watching the last half hour of mystic river last night? by the end of the show i hated every character. i've never seen a season finale do so much damage to my affection for a show.

GA loves to have Veronica Mars actors guest star....how could you miss Vincent VanLowe aka the loud mouth manager of the restaurant...(and look for Jackie in part 2 of the finale....)

#16 - never seen Veronica Mars. Really, the only two shows I watch religiously are Grey's Anatomy and Lost.

I totally want to talk about last night's show but don't want to blow it for anyone who had to record it. One thing I can say though-I want George's curls back! And I have also liked the Izzie/Denny storyline, but at what point wouldn't someone in Denny's spot just say hold up, I liked the freaky sex talk from you woman but you want to do what??? He goes from signing DNR orders to allowing a crazy woman to kill him in order to save him. Oh yes, I forget, they're crazy...in love! Yuck, I know, sorry but right now that crap makes my eyes roll-heck, I'd have cut my finace's LVAD line...then walked away!! Not really, just a bit bitter.

Grey's sure was a good kick-off to all the other finales coming up this week. Can't wait until summer reruns so I can have my life back during the week.

You know, I'm all for suspending disbelief, but they expelled it and made it return its varsity jacket. No prison terms? No firings? Nothing?

I used to love this show...until the season finale. First of all, who needs a 3 hrs, 2-part, season finale? Second, Izzie is whacked...for some guy who looks like her father or something. Third, why oh why are they trying to put McDreamy and Meredith back together??? Does she have NO dignity leftover??? Did he not choose the wife over her??? ARGH!

jumped the shark big time

alex is now the best character. most real, most believable.

mcdreamy? mcvet? mcLOSERS!!!!

cant wait for the season 3 meredith pregnancy scare. yawn

Seriously ER is starting to look like Shakespeare compared to this.

#16- thanks for pointing out the other VM cameo. I thought that was him, but he just looked so much younger on this show I wasn't sure.

#16 and #22 - Let's not forget the girlfriend/fiancee of the coward. She was also on VM a bit in the first season as a teacher.

#23 --- i THOUGHT she looked familiar!!

Gotta defend my ER-I think that show has gotten a lot better the last couple of seasons. (#21)

My only complaint about the whole Mere-Addison-Derek-Finn-Sloan love pentagon: they are hitting us over the head way too hard with the similarity between that & the chief's affair with Crazy Grey. Ok, we get it, it's history repeating itself. But what a way for Mere to get out of the line of fire when the Chief was interrogating everyone, what a great thing to hold over his head. I can see it now..."Mere, you left a scalpel in that patient's colon! Oh, never mind..."

Ok, one other complaint-where's McSteamy? Please bring him back since you killed off Kyle Chandler!!

#25 - Isn't it actually a Mere-Addison-Derek-Finn-Sloan-George affair? That would make it a sexagon which seems much more fitting. (ok, so maybe hexagon is the more commonly used term for 6 sided things but this sounds better).

and that "sexagon" includes syphillis, a rashy vajayjay, and a dog...how kinky!

Ahh, trickydick & zoobab you are both so right! A sexagon with sides of vd & bestiality, coming right up!

Oops, missed the "e" zoobabe!

m_ruv - I can't believe you've never seen Veronica Mars! And you call yourself a tv buff? Pitiful.

The only redeeming thing about the finale was that they used Snow Patrol's song "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking". I could see all of the "twists" coming from a mile away. I think this show definitely jumped the shark.

#30....Snow Patrol is in Monday's too. Chasing Cars is the last song of the episode...loves it!!!

it's okay m_ruv...there are many people who haven't seen VM....but I highly recommend watching season one over the summer!!

so....in episode 2 when weber talks to he-shepard about how he had the affair 25 years ago, etc....does that mean that meredith is 30(since she was 5 when her parents split?)

that seems believable with her appearance compared to some of the other interns.

OK, seriously, Pres. Bush's bullshit nothing attempt to get some popularity going seriously f***ed up my DVR, so all I got was 13 minutes of the 2 hour finale.

PLEASE hurry with your recap so I can find out what the hell happened? I hope that damned Denny finally kicks the bucket. This lame attempt at drama is worse than watching paint dry.

#30 & #31 - I was so thrilled that they used Snow Patrol on both nights! Amazing band, and very appropriate song choices for the closing.
