astralisLast night's Grey's Anatomy:
That was not an episode. That was a sucky thing of suckiness.
Merrin Dungey was good. David Anders was boring; unfortunately for him I think all his future roles will be compared to Sark and probably come up short.
Burke has now equalled - or maybe even exceeded - Derek's level of horrendousness, what with the chauvinistic crap about how he knows what's best for Cristina. He can go pee in the Amazon with Derek.
I knew Susan's death was coming and I spent the whole episode dreading it. There was no point to it; it was just horrible with no good reason.
Even Addie couldn't redeem the episode. She seemed... off. I loved, loved, loved her confronting all the potential parents after Lisa's surgery, but other than that she just wasn't quite right. Still stunningly beautiful, of course, but not quite the Addison she has been. My guess would be that they're tweaking the character for the spinoff; Kate is supposed to be a brilliant comic actress and they seem to be aiming to write Addison to her strengths, which is good on the one hand but on the other - Addie isn't really a comedic character. The only comic scene she's had, as far as I can recall, is the poison oak one. There's been funny lines ("God wants you to be an adulterer?") but not a lot of actual comedy and I'm not really sure that that's who Addison is.
At least Bailey is still awesome.
