oh m_ruv, your screencaps spleen me!

wherever would we be without those!?!

Is the mom of 20,000 children the niece from Uncle Buck??

The worst part of the entire episode was what you called right off the bat - having to see Georges nipple. For a split second I thought it was hers and we were being subjected to ABC porn. His haircut was just a little uglier than said nipple.

I get the whole "Karev is an asshole" thing, but what was with the moral judgement all of a sudden? He's not even Catholic. I thought maybe I missed something explaining why he was being like that, but I guess not.

thanking people for sex is an off shoot of "Thank you"..used frequently in daytime Soap Operas and the likes of 90210 by extremely insencere and condescending females characters, usually with a sideways tilt of the head.

OK, m_ruv... you were so on your game with this recap. " Bailey's horseshitdar is on full alert"... classic. Seriously, I kept losing my place because i was laughing so hard that I was shaking. Thanks for the lift!

OH, and they're going a little over the top with the whole, Alex is an asshole thing. Yes, we get it, he's a prick. Subtlety is clearly not their forte...

And yes, i do believe that was the bratty niece from Uncle Buck...aka Rowena from Mr Holland's Opus.

SheShepard has evolved from most reviled character to most likeable. And way more attractive than Meredith.

m_ruv, I just got the title. Heh heh. Recap was much better than the actual episode.

Anyone know who played the seizure lawyer? Wasn't Hope Davis, was it?

Finn Dandridge really is the most ridiculous name. It's like the name a nine-year-old girl makes up for her imaginary future husband. But the writers made up for it with that yeast cream line. That one really came out of nowhere.

m-ruv...you've outdone yourself this week. That link was the best thing that happened to me all day. And the "buffet table of Catholicism"? And the captions? But, dude, can we cut my girl Izzie some slack? You know you loved that scene where she's trying to talk to her superior with a mouthful of powdered donut.

"Next week looks like it could be good, since apparently He-Shepherd calls Meredith a "whore." " - My thoughts exactly.

Nips don't lie. That is just great. I'll be laughing about that one all day. Great recap m_ruv!!

#8 - HA that thing about nine-year-olds naming their imaginary husbands is fantastic. That made me laugh out loud. And yes I love Izzie but WHAT IS WITH THE CRAZY MANIACAL LAUGHING.

It took me a while, but I think the seizure woman is the bitchy receptionist/sister from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, one of the greatest movies of all time.

m_ruv- the narrator on the clips shows is joe, the bartender from their bar across the street from the hospital. he makes appearances every once and a while. and actually had surgery at the hospital. remember, no insurance? they had to raise money for him?

m_ruv-- Thank you once again for completely brightening up my morning at work! I've been looking forward to this re-cap all week (as sad as that is)

Does anyone else think that the plot of Dr. She-Shepherd and Alex working together/bickering like crazy is going to turn into some type of weird sexual tension? I'm starting to see it already... We already know that She-Shepherd tends to stray towards the assholes..

#12, wow that was Joe? I didn't realize—I missed the first couple minutes of the clip show so didn't hear the narrator's introduction. I like his character but thought the voiceover was really grating.

At the vet's, the horse is born. Just as Meredith and Finn are "celebrating the moment," Tom Cruise whizzes by on a combination snowmobile/motorcycle/road-luge, snatches the horse placenta from the stable floor, and rides off cackling maniacally into the night.

bwaaaaaaaaahahahah!!!

but seriously, what WAS the deal with all the characters thanking each other for sex? especially she-shephard? like, HELLO, that's your husband so regular lovin's supposed to come with the deal.

isn't the lawyer patient is from chicago hope?
i think this was the funniest recap i've read, i laughed out loud so many times..."samual jackson would kill for this hat" made me spit out my coffee.
thanks m_ruv!

Yes, the lawyer patient used to be on Chicago Hope. The woman w/20k kids is Jean Louisa Kelly & she plays the wife on "Yes, Dear", but she's not the same girl who played in Uncle Buck (although they look similar). (Her sister is Kimberly Williams who plays on that sitcom with Jim Belushi ("According to Jim") and who's married to Brad(?) Paisley, the country singer.

Definitely agreed on the coolness of She-Sheps. I've always really liked her.

How about what Ellen Pompeo said a couple of months ago...that one of the interns is leaving after this season (but not her). The obvious candidate is Alex, but I'm wondering (or maybe just wishful thinking) after this episode that maybe it's Izzie for messing around with the patient.

Also agreed that that storyline (along with Izzie in general) is getting tired. Time to send her back to the mothership, indeed!

m_ruv, many great moments in ths recap, the wait was so worth it, but THIS 1 by far, really made me bust out laughing:

'In particular he wants to get rid of the catheter that's stuck right up Little Denny, since he'd love to be able to use Little Denny for other functions, like muddling mojitos or spreading mayo on sandwiches.'

HA!!!! tears, i'm tellin ya, pure tears of merriment!! i, 2, am gettin sick of stupid Denny, could care less if he lives or dies, so long as he's off the show already!!

re) nxt wk, He-Shep/Meredith 'whore-calling' incident----ugh, pls don't go there, it is so annoying how the stupid girl slept w/ 1 He-Shep, thn the broken penis guy & all of a sudden she's a whore?? c'on, i knew girls in college who drank more than they weighed & ended up doing the entire football team throughout the course of the year!

Actually, most people probably remember the neuro patient from the teenybopper gem, "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead." She was Carolyn, the seahag sister of Christina Applegate's love interest.

Clearly, I watch WAY too much TV>

wow tati, and WHAT SCHOOL WAS THAT?

sheshep rocks and has indeed turned into one of the best parts of the show alongside dr caille torres and dr miranda bailey.

i'm going to choose "all of the above"...catholic mom was in uncle buck, mr. hollands opus, and yes dear. and i immediately pegged the lawyer as christina applegate's arch nemesis in dont tell mom the babysitter's dead. what's with every show i watch employing all of these actors that are just famous enough that people recognize them, but random enough that we waste the whole damn episode trying to figure out what they've been in? it's really distracting.

for me, the worst thing about grey's anatomy taking a few weeks off is no m_ruv hilariousness. excellent recap!

p.s. now "dishes are done, dude!" is going to repeat itself in my head the next 10 times i do dishes

ALex would be seriously rep[rimanded for how he is acting with She-Shep. She is his Superior, why the hell is he getting away with talking like that to her? I loved how she told him he woudl be with her for awhile and how pissed he was. He thought being such a jerk was going to get him thrown off of the "vagina" cases, but it did just the opposite.

Where does He-Shep get of being angry or judgemental with Meredith? Hes married remember...She can do whatever the hell she wants to without having to justify it to him. He cant have his cake and eat it too. If he wants Meredith he needs to leave his wife...period. Otherwise stop acting like a baby!!!

emaciated ribs are hot

Oh and all of you who watch this show need to start watching Veronica Mars!! Rent Season 1 and then rent Season 2 when it comes out (or watch the reruns this summer) before you watch Season 3 when it starts next year. SERIOUSLY one of the best shows on TV! If TVGASM loves it, it has to be good!!!

Very fuuny recap m_ruv! I missed thsi episode, so I was waiting for you to catch me up. I'd love to be the kind of whore Meredith is, since she mostly gives it up to hot doctors!

btw- I think I came up with "McVet" first in one of my comments- or was it McVetty? :)

Love, love LOVE this recap m_ruv!
Seriously. Denny's death is taking longer than Cher's farewell tour. Since Izzie and Denny 'believe in life after love' they can go off to the mothership together.

I can't figure out why you guys don't like Denny! He's sexy and sweet and adorable!!!!!!!!!! I never liked Izzie before, but with Denny, she's lovable. The she-Shep was not one of my favs when she first came on, but she's won me over. The only thing i don't like is GEORGE'S HAIRCUT. Love the recaps. They make my week!!!!

Good thing we didn't see Meredith unclothed - she's scary skinny. I think the "vaginas" won't be happy that She-Shepard is siccing Alex on them. Glad I'm not a patient of hers.

The other place that you guys may remember the seizure lady is from recent guest spots on Boston Legal (Paul's drug addict daughter).

BTW, this recap was AWESOME. I particularly loved the Tom Cruise bit, especially considering all of the stupid promotional things he's doing lately for MI3.

that was the niece on Uncle Buck. Jean Louisa Kelly. good call.

Awesome recap! Very funny.

I'm with ya on Addison. They cannot let her leave. She brings so much to the show. She's the reason I watch, after McSteamy and McDreamy.

Oh, and I saw a preview for this weeks episode coming up, and they use your name again. She-Shepherd.

What's up with McSteamy? Is he ever coming back? He added a nice tension and the writers have failed to capitalize on that. Plus, he's hot, hot, hot!

Hey, you'd better have some hefty "she-Shep" royalties coming your way for tonights show, m-ruv...
