I have a feeling that George+Torrez=Misery. As in the movie, not the emotion. She's getting creepier every episode.

aw, you think? i kinda like her. not sure what that says about me and my weirdo tendencies. it IS extremely weird that she lives in the hospital, though.

The problem is that a happy George goes against the entire rhythym of the show. On the other hand, as soon as they get around to seriously wrecking Meredith (secret sister at Haaaahvard med? That's twisting the knife for ya) they have to give her hope in the form of this vet guy.

George can't be happy for long, Meredith can't break down for long. The writers have been operating with those limits for the length of the show.

well, true. but i don't think it's restrained to those two characters. nobody can really be happy for long or it'd be pretty boring. hence we'll probably soon see christina/burke problems, and a dead denny, i'm guessing.

To a certain extent, that's true, but Meredith and George have opposite default positions (but not mutually exclusive time-wise), whereas Alex, Izzy and Christina have a lot more leeway to spend more time on either side of the fence.

what about mcdreamy and addison, do you think? i'm pretty sure the cliffhanger of the season will have to do with dr mcvet and mcdreamy...but where does that leave addison? i really hope she doesn't leave the show. i love her. and i love mcsteamy. they'll probably end up together back in nyc, but that would be sad.

Oh I'm so glad to hear Chris O'Donnell is getting some work. I think his little role in "Kinsey" has put him back on the map, at long last, after 1999's "The Bachelor" effectively put him on the C-list. He's like the nicest guy ever, is married to a school teacher and has four kids and doesn't live in L.A. The one time I met him I remember thinking he's too nice for Hollywood, and maybe that has hurt his career a little bit, but he should definitely be getting more work, he is both talented and v. attractive.

Josh/Donna: they didn't show the sexing, but from what I can tell nobody broke down in tears in the middle. Also, there was lots of awkwardness afterwards. Also, I hate it when shows know they're getting cancelled so they finally get the sexual tension characters together, just because they know they don't have to worry about the audience losing interest. If the characters haven't gotten together to this point for good reasons (i.e. more than deus ex machina plot purposes), why would they suddenly get together now? Granted, it works a little better here since they're working together a) after spending a while apart and b) in a different capacity; but still. It's like when Jeremy and Natalie got back together at the end of Sports Night (to keep it in the Sorkin family), just because there were only a few episodes left before The End.

Also, Grey's Anatomy is pretty silly. But it was also pretty sad last night. And it was awesome when Denny asked to see one boob.

Also, The Office is absolutely hilarious. I would be glad to call it the second funniest thing on television, if Arrested Development hadn't imploded. Sadness.

Meredith better get him naked for me quicklike. I can usually count on her so she'd better not let me down now.

whoa, that josh and donna? i thought you were talking about Lost or another show i'd never seen. although, i guess it would be more shocking if the west wing actually still had plots that didn't seem so contrived.

and my girlfriend's started watching gray's anatomy, and i agree with jake. it's silly, but a lot of the one-episode characters generate some genuine sadness -- kind of like Titanic or something. i just can't believe that TV-land was able to recycle ER and make it with younger, even more attractive people and we all fell for it.

YAY The Office. It used to be uncool to admit you liked the US version, now it's ok. I'm so happy.
