Denny's still around, Bailey has to babysit a Cylon heart surgeon and a man haunted by his own heart, and the McCrew has to save a human pretzel's life while Callie builds him a new skeleton and deals with Erica Hahn suddenly leaving. With Hahn "just gone", the Chief is on the hunt for a new Attending Cardiothroacic Surgeon and he's tasked Bailey with wooing one of tonight's guest stars - President Laura Roslin from Battlestar Galactica - into joining the staff. Continuing the BSG references, the guest surgeon seems more like a Cylon, obsessing over rules and regulations and things being just a certain way to the exclusion of everything and everyone else around her. Because I have a cousin with Asperger's Syndrome, I recognized the symptoms fairly early, but I think we were really supposed to spend the episode wondering what was up with her, so I'm sorry for spoiling that surprise. ......cont’d http://www.cinemablend.com/television/TV-Recap-Grey-s-Anatomy-These-Ties-That-Bind-13410.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- EW.COM ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: Matters of the Heart – Nov 14, 2008 Grey's Anatomy is oftentimes oddly on point — even when it's not. Which is to say that it can sometimes hit at something surprisingly of the moment, given that it's shot weeks ahead of time, even when it's not the greatest episode of all time. This episode, for instance, introducing two new characters just after the unceremonious departure of Brooke Smith's wonderfully prickly Erica Hahn, made Grey's seem like an entirely new show. A discombobulatingly new show that seemed to reflect how a lot of us feel as the crap economy forces massive layoffs and troubling new times that are just disorienting enough to make us feel a little crazy. Honestly, at this point, what isn't new and changing and totally different from how it was a year ago?

But where Grey's Anatomy is concerned, Izzie shouldn't have sent Alex to burn Denny's sweater to rid her of her dead lover's ghost — a J. Crew exorcism? She should have sent him out to burn the script.

Well that didn't take long. Thirty seconds into the episode and Shonda Rhimes made it very clear how she feels about Brooke Smith's departure from the show. Even though I didn't like the whole Callie/Hahn romance and even though I thought Hahn's exit actually made a bit of sense (it was written well), I still don't see why it was necessary to fire Smith. There had to have been a better way to fix the story without removing her. Regardless, no sense in whining. She's gone and Seattle Grace Hospital now has two new faces for everyone to gossip about..........there’s more http://www.tvsquad.com/2008/11/14/greys-anatomy-these-ties-that-bind/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- USA TODAY ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ZAP2IT ‘Grey’s Anatomy’: I love you, I always have. Ditto. – Nov 14, 2008 I'm guest-blogging for two shows tonight and one of them is Grey's Anatomy. I'll be honest... I was head-over-heels for this show when it first started. The writing was strong, the acting was great and the storylines were interesting. It lost me a little with the we-have-no-chemistry-whatsoever-couple of George and Izzie happened. But Mary McDonnell is guest-starring now and she rules the school, so let's see what is happening tonight at Seattle Grace...

I'm not typically one for "jump the shark" moments, but I'm pretty sure that when characters start seeing dead people and the show then tries to convince viewers that the visions are real, there's blood in the water. Now, I hope this isn't too spoilery -- and it shouldn't be because, as far as I've seen, nothing has been confirmed -- but there was talk after Katherine Heigl popped off about the writers not giving her Emmy-worthy material that they would give Izzie a brain tumor this season. As anyone who watches "Grey's" or "House" knows, a brain tumor can cause hallucinations. So, when Denny says, "I'm here for you, Izzie," does that mean she's got a first-class ticket to, ummm, wherever Denny is?

That was better than the 10.3/15 for "Grey's Anatomy," but the ABC medical soap won the hour in the 18-49 demographic. NBC was third with "The Office" (4.9/7) and "30 Rock"(4.5/7). FOX's "Kitchen Nightmares" beat the 2.5/4 for The CW's "Supernatural." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by oncetherewasaway, Nov 21 2008, 11:38 AM.
