Mark is a Manwhore with a very limited emotional dinner plate so his type is better for this kind of "revolving point". Look, I realize I'm the only one here who cares more about Callie than Izzy. I get that. Perhaps Callie shoulda been written more like Mark, or been played by another actrees. Maybe then it would matter more to others.

The lack of chemistry and awkwardness of the relationship isn't about choice of actress or like-ability, but direction and writing. You are not supposed to like Callie too much otherwise George becomes the villain. Making George an anti-hero is not in the best interest of the show.
Callie will find out and be crushed. They will divorce. ... it is inevitable. It's a trainwreck waiting to happen. Everyone can see the train but Callie.

I thought that fact that Dr. Bailey said it would be a career mistake for George to go to Mercy West, and then Callie totally happy for the idea proved that Callie was more into protecting herself then really caring for her husband.
Like other people said though they have no chemistry when they are on screen together. So it is more of when they will break up not if for me,

ok episode. The climber story could be interesting.
I take it bringing in Chyler Leigh is so they can create new drama between Derrick and Meredith after they wrap up the the Izzy and O'Malley's story.
The Addison stuff was over the top.

I agree that the Chemistry is weird. I think A LOT of the bad-chemistry is on George's head and it was there Pre-Cheating with Izzy and it got WORSE due to his guilt and confusion over cheating with Izzy. I don't get her thing for George either. I think Callie can do waaaay better than George.
The whole getting horny and married after his dad died was/is a recipe for disaster which fits the other poster's idea that Callie is nothing more than a "revolving point" for the whole Izzy/George crapfest.
I do stand my theory that people don't care because of the actress playing Callie. I'll bet if George was married to a girl who more "Izzy-like" then people would be more sympathetic. To me both Izzy and Callie are gorgeous women and both can do way better then fricken George. I mean come on...George? Anyway, I think it's the Milquetoasty confused cheater George who's the real frog in this triangle.

Did Bailey say it to Callie? Does that mean George still can't benefit? Bailey isn't alway right doncha know. Anyway, Callie is just stickin' by her man and supporting what he seems to want to do.

Good episode. Meredith's dad is an ass. I was feeling sorry for him back when Meredith's mom was alive but now I have no sympathy for him.
It'll be interesting to see how all these storylines affect Burke & Christine's wedding.

Well, I think the Burke thing was coming given the onset realities.
Not sure if George is coming back, but if so, he may just drop out of sight given the 2 women who love him, but he's sort in a weird quandry. Izzie sucks, though.
Felt bad for Bailey.
Addison is definitely out of SGH due to Private Practice given the green light for the fall.
Meredith and Derek really do need to go their separate ways, plus Lexie Gray will provide some more temptation for Derek.
Maybe Meredith and Yang will turn into a lesbian couple.
Alec might have pushed away a good thing, then again, maybe not.

T.R. Knight reportedly WILL be back for Season 4. That surprised me. I heard he was leaving too. And the way things were going in tonight's finale, what exactly would be his role next year? Repeating as an intern? Regardless, I hope they nip this Izzie thing in the bud soon. It's making him almost intolerable.

You gotta hand it to the writers on this show. The only remaining characters I could tolerate this season were Derek, George, and Addison. One was given nothing to do and then sent off to her own series. The other two were forced to act totally out of character and treat their respective girlfriend/wife like crap. Well done.

Dammit. I went to see Shrek The Third tonight & set my vcr to run till 10:02 not realizing it was an extended episode. I haven't watched it yet but when I do tomorrow I'll be about 13 minutes short. Of course this would be the first time in a couple months that they're not rerunning the episode on Friday night. Damn Damn Damn.
