Knight) told Callie (Sara Ramirez) that he slept with Izzie. Tonight's Grey's Anatomy picks up right after George's confession to Callie. She simply says that she forgives him. He made a mistake, but they took vows, so she forgives him........cont’d http://www.buddytv.com/articles/greys-anat...swer=345#poll86 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ZAP2IT 'Grey's Anatomy:' She's an intern - October 18, 2007 Full disclosure: Despite being a die-hard during the first three seasons of Grey's Anatomy, I have not been a fan this year. But I'm coming around. It feels as though the bad dream of focusing so fully on George and Izzie may be coming to an end -- or at least leveling off to a tolerable place. So it may be premature, but with hope (and all due respect to President Clinton's first inaugural address), I posit that there is nothing wrong with Shonda Rhimes that cannot be cured by what is right with Shonda Rhimes.........................cont’d http://blog.zap2it.com/ithappenedlastnight...-anatomy-s.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TV SQUAD Grey's Anatomy: The Heart of the Matter - Posted Oct 18th 2007 (S04E04) You killed him. With your penmanship. --Izzie Stevens Jonathan is traveling to a wedding tonight, so I am filling in for him. I have to admit something: I stopped watching Grey's Anatomy in earnest toward the beginning of Season Three. Oh, I know what's happening. It's sort of hard to live in this country and not know what's going on on Grey's Anatomy. I wasn't surprised to discover that nothing much has changed. Oh, except that the writing is worse. Honestly, I don't know how the actors got through a read-through of this script without rioting in the writers' room, let alone saying the lines on national television in front of witnesses. The show started well enough, with a very calm Callie telling a shocked (and, dare I say, disappointed?)........cont’d http://www.tvsquad.com/2007/10/18/greys-an...-of-the-matter/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EW.COM EW - TV Watch - ''Grey's Anatomy'': Twelve O'Clock High - Oct 19, 2007 After Callie learns about George's adultery, she and Izzie square off in the cafeteria at lunchtime; plus, McDreamy bonds with Lexie, then tells Meredith what he really wants - Thank goodness for the grown-ups on this show — and for their showing up in force for the first time this season. Which is to say: Mad props to Callie O'Malley and Alex Karev, with always-honorable (and I don't mean that in a runner-up sorta way) mention to Dr. Bailey and Chief Webber. (If Addison were still around, I suspect she'd be on that short list, too, but, alas, she up and moved to California and started acting like a 14-year-old.)............cont’d http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20153204,00.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MSNBC Find out who popped the question on Grey’s - Oct 18th 2007 An indecent proposal? In case you missed it, McDreamy’s long-winded speech at the end of the night sounded a little like a marriage proposal, didn’t it? After previously having invited Meredith on a weekend trip — 48 hours of uninterrupted sex — he took back the offer. He told her he didn’t want 48 uninterrupted hours. “I want to marry you,” he said. He told her he wants to have kids with her, settle down and grow old with her. “I want a lifetime,” he said, as she braced herself and fought what he called “the urge to run the opposite direction.” .....cont’d http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14484204/?pg=2...ysAnatomy_CHART ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TV GUIDE Forgive and Forget - Episode Recap: "The Heart of the Matter" October 18, 2007 "I forgive you." Did I hear that right? Callie, calmly telling George that he made a mistake and that because of their vows, she was willing to forgive him for sleeping with Izzie? Thank god she changed her mind by the end of the episode, because I'm not sure I could have forgiven Callie for letting Gizzie off the hook so easily! Not after everything we've been through in this whole messy love triangle! Though something tells me we won't have anything resembling closure here for quite some time.........cont’d http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TV...orget/800025071 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FANGASM Grey's Anatomy: Let the Truth Sting and The Heart of the Matter - Posted October 25, 2007 by Cheryl Wow, you go away on vacation and you miss two of the best episodes of Grey's Anatomy so far! This is going to be a short post-op for both episodes. Let the Truth Sting: Boy, does it ever. When are these doctors going to learn no one keeps secrets at Seattle Grace? Christina discovers Meredith hasn't broken up with Derek, and uses it to her advantage to get surgeries from Meredith. I just love their friendship! Meredith finally figures it out, though, and outs Christina for using her failure to marry Burke to take advantage of Meredith's sympathetic side. Fun! Hey! Really Old Guy comes out of his coma! And, then he dies. Bummer. His interaction with Izzie was terrific, and apparently he could hear all the secrets of last year's interns. Alex outs George in the elevator as he blurts out to the interns George is a repeater. With that, George no longer has the respect of his doe-eyed colleagues. As for the other happenings, as much as Meredith wants to avoid her sister Lexie, she can't. There's quite a bit of tension between the sisters Grey, which results in Lexie storming down to the Clinic for refuge, and telling a fib to Dr. Bailey to stay down there. I felt a ping of pain for Lexie, as she really didn't get any information from stupid Thatcher on how her mother actually died. I just hope she's not looking for a mother figure in Meredith! Although Meredith is dark and twisty she is also sympathetic, and walks Lexie through her mother's medical file, stating clearly that in each case, there was a one percent, maybe two percent chance of any of the complications that happened to Susan actually happening. So, while George is down, he might as well go all the way down. At the end of the episode, he finally catches up with Callie at their hotel room, and she looks him straight in the eye, "Just tell me." And, he does: "I slept with Izzie." Hell of an ending that kept me wanting more. Thank goodness I was able to watch the full episodes back to back on ABC.com! The Heart of the Matter: Finally, the writers gave some meaty dialog to Callie and to Alex. Callie is obviously saddened by George's admission, but she says she forgives him, because they made a commitment. This prompts George to act like a five year old and run through the hospital in search of Izzie to give her warning he's told Callie. Izzie's being Izzie, and is so self-absorbed in being a teacher, she doesn't realize Callie is behind her. Callie tells Izzie she knows everything and wants to talk to her, at noon, in the cafeteria. This prompts Izzie to act like a five year old and think that Callie is going to kick her ass at the hospital. When the time comes, Izzie's fists-up response to Callie approaching her further humiliates Callie. Callie, meanwhile starts to fall apart, to the point where she provokes and almost begs a patient's boyfriend to punch her so she can feel something. Bailey is genuinely concerned about Callie's stability, and warns her if she continues to say she's okay and acts to the contrary she could lose her career. Callie and Izzie finally talk, with Izzie trying to apologize. And Callie, the true class-act she is, let's Izzie have it, without fists, and tells her she betrayed a fellow woman, and that she stole something from her, like a petty little thief. Bam. Izzie confesses to Alex she slept with George, and Alex walks away from her disgusted. Because it's O'Malley. Because it's a married man. Because it wasn't him post-Denny. I really hope they keep Edward Hermann (Norman, the World's Oldest Intern) on the show for more episodes, because he's all sorts of awesome. I really liked the interaction with Meredith. Speaking of Meredith, Derek asks her to spend 48 hours of uninterrupted time with him in Wine Country. She gets upset because he's making friends with "the other Grey." He tells her he can tell the other Grey what he can't tell her. Meredith retorts and tells him he can tell her anything. And then, Derek grows a set, and tells her point-blank what's in his heart: he wants to marry her; he wants children with her; he wants to grow old with her; he wants to live to be 102 and die in her arms. Wow. Meredith, take the man back. Take. The. Man. Back! I was annoyed with Derek in season three, and I am so happy where his character is right now. It just gives me the warm and fuzzies! But, he also warned her - and gave her a realistic, non-mopey warning - he can wait for her, but he's not sure what will happen if a girl comes along who will be willing to give him what he wants. At the end, Izzie's crying on her bed, and Alex is kind enough to hand her a box of tissues. Callie doesn't forgive George, and walks away to leave him in the rain. What do you think? Should Callie and George stay together? Do you think Izzie and George will continue their relationship? Will Meredith, Derek and Lexie all co-exist peacefully? Will Norman continue to use seriously in his dialogue? http://www.fangasm.com/01television/greys-...atter000480.php ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LA TIMES 'Grey's Anatomy': What's going on with these women? - October 19, 2007 I don't know what condition of post-feminism we are currently living under (post-post-post perhaps), but after last night's "Grey's Anatomy," I think everyone should scramble through their boxed-up college paperbacks and find their copies of "The Golden Notebook" because we need to get back to basics, people. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/
