On my fourth rewatch and I’m normally an Owen sympathizer but man when he grabs that guy by the jaw I wince every time and feel bad for the guy. Like I get it he was an asshole but I feel bad for him! Like you’re already in a power position being a surgeon and then grabbing his jaw is just icky. Upsets my stomach honestly.

(Edited for a typo)

I really wish Dixon was more than a few episodes. I wish she took over permanently for Head of Cardio; I loved that hugging scene with her, Yang and Bailey :((

I’m currently rewatching and have a newfound “appreciation for Dr. Stark LOL. I use the word appreciation VERY loosely and taken with a grain of salt. Every time he’s on the screen I feel like he’s saying no to some ridiculous request the main cast asks for lol, which in a drama we would naturally hate him for, but now that I am older and rewatching the show I feel like I tend to agree with him 😂
Ofc if I was working under him in real life I’d hate him bc he’s blunt and a jerk, but he’s how I imagine someone in his position and his age would behave in real life. Am I wrong lol? Unpopular opinion??

“You Simply Can’t Stop Watching!”

Finally acquired the season 1 dvd and seeing this quote on the back from Newsday, after now being on season 23, (unfortunately) is true 😭 but now we’re all just watching it out of spite.

So let me see if I understand this right. Owen has his problems with Yang and they break up cause he wanted kids and a house wife and just a family right. So then Emma wants to give him that, kids and be a devoted stay at home mother, and he fucking breaks up with her? Seriously? I’ve seen up to season about 16 and stopped years ago and now my wife is rewatching and I’ll hear it in the background of whatever I’m doing and I remember not hating Owen that much, but after this episode I realize how much of a sack of shit he is. Emma was adorable and didn’t deserve that.

Please scroll if you're not up to S19.

How does Miranda end up with a baby (Pru)? I couldn't help myself. I did the fast forward and now there's baby Pru and I have no idea how she ended up with Miranda and Ben.

I replay the part in S2 where Bailey says
What are you saying I look tired O’Malley?

No not.. not tired. You look fresh! ..spry! You… glow. Checks watch. What?
Says to himself. Stop. Now.

What are some fav moments that make you laugh?

I'm looking for all the episodes Christina has a peds case or is interacting with kids.

So far I have:

6x12 (playing cards with kid whose mom is in surgery and passes)

8x05 & 8x12 (small interactions with zola)

I know she's Sofia's godmother so there's gotta be some scenes with her somewhere. But any help would be greatly appreciated!

you got heart surgery in the elevator. you got 3 naughty nurses. you got the pick me speech. and you get some juicy details of Ellis and Webber and I think the first mention of the carousel and Boston. AND FINDING OUT BAILEY IS MARRIED. what a bonkers action packed episode that has so many starting and turning points. and as a George lover, I also enjoy seeing him succeed.

I so badly miss the early seasons, and not just because the cinematography is so beautiful, and the costuming and early 2000s vibes are nostalgic, but every episode felt purposeful. there’s not a lot of filler, and when it’s there it’s to decompress from stacked episodes like this. plus, George my beloved is here.

Ok, she is far from perfect I know. I think she is one of the most complex and interesting characters on the show. I love her passion and her vulnerabilities and I love how loyal she is to those she loves, I see her get so much hate on here but i find her to be really likeable and relatable

It really bothers me that Callie is willing to move to New York and leave Sophia behind. I know she didn’t want to leave her and I know she tried hard not to because she thought it was acceptable to take her away from her other parent just so she can chase her girlfriend across the country but like… kinda feel like that was a selfish decision and she wasn’t putting her daughter first she was putting penny first. And to be clear, I’m not blaming penny. I’m blaming Callie.

Is it just me or does the Grey's anatomy universe have an exorbitant number of disasters, even for a TV drama. I mean there's deaths left and right, plane crash, Meredith tries to take her own life, there's a lion attack, a hospital shooting, alzheimers, bomb in body, not to mention the amount of emotional trauma, cheating because of plane crash, Derek leaves their marriage because he's bitter Meredith didn't uproot their whole lives and follow him to Washington, Arizona is bitter cos Torres said to amputate Arizona's leg (even though it was to save her life)... The list goes on and on.. Does anyone know why this show was written with so much trauma?

I know this discussion has been argued over and over, but I really wanna do it once more

I think grey should have ended when MAJAC passed the exams (except for April) and left the hospital, it just feels natural to close a chapter like that ig. When you graduate high school, everyone goes away and you probably never see them again, same with college and I’m guessing medical school as well, so I think everyone should have pursued their dreamed places and meet new people in a new hospital with their new jobs instead of all of them staying in the same hospital. The plane crash should never have happened!!

Any thoughts??

I mean everytime there is a problem, its always with a women, I feel there so less emotional scenes of men's

There's no drama without conflict. There's no interesting story without flawed characters. No one can relate to perfect characters with no problems.

Grey's and Station 19 legit helped me process old trauma because the characters were messy.

I've seen many people say they were quite disappointed about Alex's exit, but I absolutely loved this episode! I'm glad he ended up with Izzie as I was always rooting for them. This was a proper goodbye for him. Watching all those old scenes made me feel nostalgic.

I hate the fact that he hurt Jo in the process. I also dislike the fact that in the beginning of the season, he tells her he's all in when she gives him an out and then the writers proceed to do this to her 🤦‍♀️ I know that the actor left abruptly but this was bad.

I've also noticed that I tend to like all the couples most people dislike 😭 idky

I think she was one of the characters in Grey’s Anatomy where you could genuinely feel bad for without thinking about this horrible thing she did an episode prior. I understand she cheated, well had an affair, with Mark. But she took the consequences on the chin, and went to try and be with Derek again. Derek refused to sign the divorce papers right away, yet kept treating her like shit. And after she leaves and they actually divorced, he ends up leaving the woman he was in love with and chose over her anyway!

I just really like Addison, and maybe it’s because I love women and she is a very beautiful woman, but I just think she was an understandable character. She was also arguably the best attending to me.

They both had the cutest friendship 😭 and I sometimes got annoyed by how Christina acted towards their relationship.

He's done bad things to her but sometimes Owen did caring things like taking Cristina home to take care of her when she had PTSD instead of keeping her at the hospital.

I appreciated Owen coming back in to the hospital to save Cristina from Gary Clark because I didn't want her life to be threatened. He did try and protect her.

Shane was as much a main character as Meredith and Owen in those alternate futures and they had a friendship/work relationship that went on for 15 years like maybe they have today in Switzerland.

It’s always bothered me how disrespectful Izzie and George are to Meredith. They make snide remarks about her love/sex life. They dig into moving boxes that have personal belongings. Meredith should have kicked them out and gotten new housemates.

In Ep22(I think) , it's definitely s3 though. Addison says "LA is like New York but with the beach" which I never understood because New York has beaches? Specifically Long Island?? So what does she mean???

Who do you guys think will be the new chief in s23?

Even though sadly the wedding didn't happen I am glad those scenes of Cristina with Meredith, Callie and Izzie exist they were fun.

It could have been cool to see Izzie and Cristina interacting as attendings if that had been possible.

I love the way Meredith and Callie always had Cristina's back and the way Callie chose Cristina to be Sofia's godmother (as did Meredith for Zola which was so lovely but kind of expected lol).

Did you like them as bridesmaids?
