Grey's Anatomy

Last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy was much better than the season premiere. I'm totally over the love triangle of Meredith-McDreamy-McVet. Besides, since Chris O'Donnell will only be around for a couple of more episodes, it's already written who her ultimate choice will be. I did admire Meredith's stance to "date" before choosing one guy over the other. Let that be a lesson to all women. Men have no problem "dating" more than one woman at a time. I think we should give it a try, too! Diahann Carroll looks for worse for the wear than her days of playing another "you're not good enough for my child" mother on A Different World. I think Cristina has finally met her match. I don't want Burke's mom to run her off, because I like them as a couple, but this could be the challenge their relationship needs to see if it's going to survive (and if Burke, who seems to be a mama's boy, will stand up to her and choose Cristina). I love how Callie is being integrated into the group. Big ups to her for claiming the panties to save Meredith. Meredith certainly didn't deserve it, but Callie is a loyal person, so she took the L on her behalf. Plus, now that she's been kicked out of her hospital "apartment," looks like she's moving into Meredith's house with the rest of the gang. My favorite scene of the episode:
Alex: So you and O'Malley? How did that happen?
Callie: You a surgeon? How'd that happen?
Callie gets the best material to work with. Plus, cellulite was the guest-star of the night on ABC. First on Ugly Betty then, Callie showing her stuff here. I love it. Yes, that's what real women look like, thank you very much.
I really wanted one of Izzie's muffins - they looked delicious. I'm glad to see she's finally working through her pain. Hopefully by next week she'll be back on her feet and back at the hospital. I shed real, hot tears when Bailey came over to the house and said she accepted partial blame for what happened to Denny because she became "soft" after having her baby. A classic moment in Grey's Anatomy history. "Enough muffins."
Finally, Derek and Addison are done (fingers crossed). When McSteamy stepped out of the (literally!) steamy bathroom (BARELY wearing a towel - thank you Shonda Rhimes!), my mouth fell open. Go 'head and get your groove back Addie. For a moment there, I felt that McDreamy was going to offer his wife a chance for reconciliation, but McSteamy sealed the deal. "I feel much better now." I certainly did after watching the show.

A few works on Six Degrees: It's becoming a bit of a stretch connecting these six people. As much as I had hoped last week to see more of Damian brother, he's annoying. Love, love, love Zoe Saldana, but what's her purpose here? How can a nanny just decide on her own that her charge isn't going to school today? I'm most curious about the connection between the photographer and the grieving widow - wasn't that a picture of her he had? How do they connect? We need more of Jay Hernandez - he's definitely the bright spot here. It's so painfully obvious that Whitney's guy is a dud. I want to reach through the screen, shake her by the shoulders and tell her, "he's just not that into you." I know that when that relationship goes belly-up, she's going to run right into the arms of her rogue photographer. This show has promise, but it's becoming too obvious and two-dimensional. I'll keep watching and hope for better.
