you and me both.

i really liked the scene with Burke and the new resident. her character was annoying up until that point.

Okay, I hated the idea of getting hooked on this show, but I finally am. Great episode. I still say Meredith is whiny as shit and they need to have her character move along and grow a backbone.

LOVED the Bailey replacement (Cynthia something?). Somehow knew there was something else underneath that bubbly bimbo exterior. Have a feeling she's going to turn out quite interesting. Her attack on Burke was priceless when you could see Burke's eyes going, "oh shit. i screwed up".

Not usually one to complain about reality in medical shows, but no hospital I know of would let a fourth year resident run a surgery without supervision from an attending. Talk about your setup for a lawsuit.

I agree George's final line must've been ad-libbed. It was perfect. Even without the sex, think about it - in bed between two gorgeous women AND a PSP. Awesome.

This episode was better then the last two but only by a little bit. It's almost like this show lost an edge after the holiday break.

HATED the Bailey replacement.

The Izzy child story line was a cheap gimmick to pull out I feel.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop having Meredith and Shepard awkward (are they still interested in each other) moments. They make me wretch.
Enough of that already.

Since when did they decide to make Christina a retard? She was walking around like rainman this episode.

And this Merideth/Shepard thing is getting OLD. Let it die already... sheesh!

The scene at the bar was great.

Christina's apology, as someone else noted, was like the Fonzie apology.

All he was missing was a pastrami on rye with mustard.

I hope this show does not suffer the fate of becoming too showy, ridiculous, and over-the-top as ER. Necrotizing fasciitis this week and . I'm getting a bad feeling about all this......

They should have had the PSP answer in a robotic voice "I do".

Or the dog bark at the right moment after George makes his request.

Kind of hard when the dog is @ McDreamy's.

The flesh-eating disease wasn't that over-the-top (although it was a little), but I got a bad feeling from the preview as well. It made it seem like an episode of ER was coming up, as opposed to the show we've come to know and love. But as far as your spoilered part,

How long should we pad our recordings for the After SuperBowl show?

The dog found his way back!

About 2 hours.

Can you tell I don't watch football?

I should probably try and watch the game since it's being played here.

I set my DVR to record GA, the local news that comes and after it, and the show after that.
Better safe than sorry, especially with ABC --remember how they screwed up the big post-SB Alias a few years ago.

"It's the End of the World"


With guest star

Pad your recordings for Super Bowl run-over!

Pad by at least 2 hours.

The game's over now, so expect the episode to start on the East Coast in ~2.5 hours.

das

Wow, only a half hour pad would have been needed. Suprising.

Was loving George's dream there...

This is the first episode that I've ever watched of this show. Is there anything I should know to make anything make more sense?
