This show makes me an emotional train wreck. Seriously.
I've known that Izzie and George were going to hook up since the first season. It was bound to happen and I'm glad it finally did, and as much as I love Sara Ramirez, I'm ready for Callie to just be gone. (She does give a really fantastic bitchy glare, though.) Since the Demise of Denny, I think Izzie deserves something good to happen in the love department, and George definitely qualifies.
Speaking of George, that scene between him and Bailey was probably the most perfect in the entire show. T.R. Knight is just fantastic.
Derek needs to stop being a weenie and cut Meredith a break. In the span of one year, she's had to deal with the love of her life lying to her, then leaving her for his wife (I mean come on, who does that?), a near death experience, her mother's death, her surrogate mother's death, and her father being a complete ass about the whole thing. Who wouldn't be a little broken up after all that? He's being an insensitive d*ck.
I fell off my couch when I found out that the girl from the bar is Meredith's half-sister. WHAT A TWIST! (Robot Chicken refrence? Anyone? ...Bueller?)
As for the whole chief debacle, it's just another example of Derek's weenie-ness. HOWEVER, I still think Bailey's the best man for the job. As a resident, she's more qualified than any of the attendings. We shall see.
I hope McSteamy doesn't leave, but I'm betting he will.
As for Alex, I'm hoping the whole Ava/Rebecca/Jeff deal will make him more personable. I think my favorite line in the episode was when he sat next to Addison at the church and she said, "Look at me...LOOK at me. You suck." Perfection.
Addison's spinnoff is going to crash and burn. Taye Diggs is a sitcom's death sentence. (I'm not saying I won't watch it, but still...)
I knew Burke & Christina wouldn't get married. When he said the vows in the OR, it was cemented in my mind. I just didn't think he would be the one to balk. Sandra Oh was absolutely impeccable in the last scene. The woman can do no wrong.
All in all, I'm a little wary of next season. I mean, how many times can different characters hook up/almost die/loose a parent/get married? Here's to hoping it continues to stay as good as it began.
I can't talk now. I gotta go get my wallet out of the toaster.
