Holy Cannoli, that Wellness center had some emotionally damaged people with nary a hint of fun and frivolity. I pronounce the spin-off DOA.

Ava keeps digging into Alex's psyche as to why he continues to push away relationships.

George is such a dope these days, and Izzie ain't helping things.

Burke and Yang might actually be all right in the end.

Sad to see the hiccups lead to Meredith's stepmom's demise.

It was very clever of them to hold off the slapping until they got close to the end. I sure didn't expect a man to do it. That's not as fun.

Not really impressed with Addison's friends either.

Addison's Big Adventure was a strained affair. As for Grey's Anatomy, I'm almost done with it, like I want to see Izzy and George kissing...

Worst of all? This free fall made me miss Ally Sheedy on CSI, not cool..

I don't know. I think Addison's Friends will grow on you guys if you give them a chance. Frankly they're just as annoying and fucked up as any one of the folks in Seattle so it's not really that big a jump. I say that because for the 1st 45 minutes of this 2 hour lovefest I found them annoying too. But by the time the 3 guys were in the yard talking about his stripped 911 I started liking them.

This is the most boring episode ever. I am still not done watching it and looking at the clock. It is surprising since I like so many of these actors. it is just so blah.

This show around the wellness clinic reminds of me of that quickly cancelled "Inconceivable" show from last year. Not good.

I already miss Kellerman on Prison Break.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

I think the Grey's Anatomy stuff was actually good (all 20 minutes worth), but the Montgomery's Dried-up Anatomy stuff just completely ruined it. I hope they re-edit the episode for the DVD because I will otherwise never want to watch that shit again.

I wish they'd just bring Eyes back. They could have Taye Diggs replace the guy who played Harlan's best bud and Francie could replace that woman who played the mole. Julian could take over for that guy that's on Ugly Betty and Amy Brenneman can play the first murder victim. They could even bring Kate Walsh back as Harlan's ex-wife!

It was 10:10 and I was all, "I have to sit through 50 more minutes of this?!"

The low point for me was when Addison was sitting on the steps crying to Tim Daly about how dried up she was.

I dont like the therapist character at all.

Tim Daly is hot. To bad he never gets to stay on a show long enough for me to really get a good drool going.

Her and her friend were the only characters I did like. At least they had some potential. The rest of the episode was just horrible.

Now that I got that out of the way.

What is up with the teeth whitening ... everyones teeth was whiter than a lab coat ... well cept for Eva. It was really distracting and unnatural.

Ava's teeth are fake.

Addison's show is just missing Paula Marshall, she'd be the kiss of death.

Nope. I had given up on Grey's a long time ago, but found myself watching these episodes and found myself laughing out loud several times.

Come on Diggs' female patient expanding upon how its been 18 months without any "companionship" from her husband and how she handles the tension. "Have her try swimming its easier on the knees."

"What time do you have?"... "If you didnt like that show, there is another in an hour and its wet."

And the 911 scene to me was very funny. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND DOES THAT TO A CAR!

Oh and before I forget, Amy Brenneman is PHAT!

I hope Kate Walsh has it in her contract she can come back to GA after this show flops.

Such a huge mistake to take one of the better characters off of GA. On her own, there was none of the other drama or tension with these new characters and her charachter no longer seemed interesting.

I guess these people never learned anything from "Flo" or "JackEe".

I officially cut the cord before last night - removing the program from my recording lineup. I had only passively watched the episodes since the one where Meredith was 'dead.'

Well, I think because they brought her in for hiccups, and Merideth told him they were going to do the scope, which evidently pierced her esophogus, and lead to septic and eventually killed her. (She hiccuped the whole time they were scoping her, which I think lead to her being pierced) All along Merideth kept telling him she would be fine. I mean, he slapped her out of grief I am sure, it came out of no where, but that is what I think it was.

He somehow blames Merideth for his wife's death. It was wrong and misdirected, but he lashed out at her.

What exactly caused the wife's death? Was it complications from the surgery to correct the hiccups or were the hiccups the sign of something more serious?

I think he blamed Merideth for saying that the surgery was no big deal, she would be ok, etc. He said to her "She trusted you!"

Thanks for explaining that. I was having a hard time paying attention at that point since I found the spin-off scenes so tedious to get through. (That was the longest 2 hours since an Apprentice finale.)

They way they did the spinoff scenes were soooo annoying. They would only have like a 2 minute scene and then they were back and forth. It was horrible. And I found the California crew commraderie very forced.

One of the problems for me, among many, is that it's like there are too many well-known actors. It's like, "Here's Tim Daly. Taye Diggs is his best friend. Amy Brenneman works there, too." I didn't feel that these people were really connected at all.

It's obviously a show set up to have a shitload of famous guest stars. An LA "wellness center?" Seriously...
