This show continues to just get stronger and more entertaining. A clear winner.

Plus they were in a middle of a crisis with the train wreck, I would imagine most of the doctors would have to pitch in where necessary and do things they would not normally do.
As fas as her doing the C-section instead of the woman's regular doctor, it was probably because she wasn't planning to go into labor then, or was at a different hospital. When I had my son, I labored naturally but ended up needing a C-section because we couldn't turn my son after 4 hours of pushing (he was posterior). Anyway, my doctor (or the on-call doctor from my doctor's OB/GYN practice) was already in surgery with someone else, so they had the resident OB/GYN doctor at the hospital start my surgery. But the other doctor came in and finished and sewed me up.

Izzie is invited to become a protege of Mrs. McDreamy in her pediactric specialty.
why then would she take an interest in a general surgery intern as she did at the end of the episode?
......................................................................Maybe her interest isn't entirely professional.

My wife points out all this type of stuff on this show, ER and even the CSI's when they get into the medical stuff. Keeps it interesting, knowing they are actually doing the right thing despite being fictional shows.

I cried so much during this episode, absolutely awesome. A few months back when Boston Legal didn't return, I called foul. Now, it's by far the best show on TV for me - I love other shows, but this draws me in every week.
I'm glad the Meredith/Dr. Shephard relationship is over, there wasn't much that they could do with that angle, but I'm looking forward with how they develop Meredith as all her character was doing was fixating on him. Let's see what they do with their lead character now.
Still don't like Mr. Lack of Mojo, he's just annoying, but all the other characters have grown on me. I'm loving this show.

This show continues to find that warm spot of humanity for me.
Loved Mr. Griswold's reaction to his wife's heart catching on fire, and subsequently George and Burke's reaction to Mr. Griswold's reaction.
The subtle bit of hands missing one another for the Shepards in marriage counselling was eye-raising and produced a guffaw from me. And what the hell is Gordon Dean doing in Seattle? (Alias rim shot).
After hearing Alex talking about that first kiss to the girl with the bag, and then having Alex go for it with Izzie was a dynamite moment given just enough build-up for its payoff.
That pregnant man case was scary as hell in some respects. Izzie and Christina have no shame at all with all those ticket sales. Meredith tearing all of them a new orifice (while still in romantic shock) was great.

Glad to see Alex back w/ his swagger - much more fun character when he has his mojo.

all the scenes with alex and his patient were good. and i loved the end, how he delivered that "good night" line to izzy after the kiss.
kudos to Burke for manning up and doing what he felt was right. Even if Christina gets pissed about it, it really was the best thing.

This show has consistantly been more entertaining, funny, and (for a soap) realistic than the Housewives. New season of Grey's: New season of DH: sad to say but It's just not getting any better, and for the most part has been either dull or completely ridiculous. I've seen Teri Hatcher cry on screen enough to last ten lifetimes. About all I really look forward to anymore is Gabby and Carlos and their funny arguments. Maybe it'll get better...next week looks pretty good.
But back to Grey's... I would've had a hard time not bursting out laughing at that man and his whole "why won't she die?!!!" rant. And his wife's heart going up in flames So wrong that I laughed at that part. Nice first kiss for the Izzie-Alex relationship, but I have a feeling they'll be breaking up and making up a lot in the future. Same with Meredith and McDreamy. And probably Christina and Burke too. Luckily the show has kept me interested enough to accept a few cliched romantic subplots.

Who played Mr. & Mrs. Griswold? They both looked familiar to me, but I could not place them.
Nice use of the Annie song in the middle of the ep. My husband put that song on a mix he made for me eons ago, but I guess it now it has been released stateside.

Reni Santoni played Mr Griswold. He's been in lots of movies and TV shows, but I recognize him as Poppy (the couch-wetting, no hand washing, pro-life chef) from Seinfeld, and as NBC executive John Agolia from The Late Shift.

good ep. The usual corniness, relationship tension, and crazy patients.

Loved it. I'm ready for them to abandon the mirroring plotlines of patients and Merideth's relationship woes. It was cute the first time, now it it redundant.
Glad to see them add another layer to Alex's character. He seems less one-dimensional now. Which makes the bad-boy & hot chick relationship more palatable and less cliched.

i thought it was the surgical drapes that caught fire. anything catching fire in the OR is bad news -- burnt patient, explosive anesthetics, oxygen rich environment.

I am definitely enjoying this season of Grey's more than Desperate Housewives. Kudos to the writers and actors on Grey's. I hope season one comes out on DVD soon because I did not watch the complete season one when it aired.
