owlbeer | 'I didn't like teenage girls even when I was a teenage girl'

Disclaimer: I was totally spoiled for both big happenings in this ep. It probably coloured my perceptions.

The Good:

- I liked the continued insight we got into the Chief.
- Alex, though he totally had a personality transplant for this ep.
- Bailey. Of course. Speaking teenage girl! Awesome.
- Cristina. Oh, honey. She rocked that interview scene and the thing I was most wishing for in this ep was for her to go back and talk to Burke. And she did! Yay.
- In fact, all the inrterview scenes were pretty damn cool.
- The scene with Doc dying.
- Finding out what everyone was like in high-school. Addison was a band-geek? Hilarious. And Meredith was a punk!
- Oh Denny, I admit. You got to me in the end.
- Izzy in the dress and the curled up and ... yeah. Oh, honey. You're crazy but I really feel for you.

The Bad:

- The staaaring. I mean the dancing one I'll let them away with, but at the end as well? Enough already! We get it!
- The prolonged and soft-focused sex scene. I don't so much object to it happening, but I didn't like that it seemed to go on and on and was shot like it was. I was expecting something a little sharper and dirtier.
- The ending on Meredith's stare. It bugged me for some reason,

The Indifferent:

- The whole George/Callie storyline.
- The cliffhanger? Was that a cliffhanger? I suppose it was.

Meredith/McDreamy didn't really bother me too much. I knew it was coming and to be honest, I kind of liked that Callie almost walked in on them because that makes things interesting for next season. To be honest, it doesn't bother me if they get back together. I do feel for Addison though (a lot) and ... yeah, okay, I've forgotten the name of the vet, but him too.

There are a lot of things in that Good column and I did like a lot about the ep, but I'm left feeling vageuly dissatisfied and I'm not sure why.

For various reasons, I've spent a lot of my day feeling 14 years old. It's been a weird day. Certainly not a bad day, and in some ways even a very good day, but it's just left me going huh.

Edit: Forgot to add that the Dresden Dolls are giving a concert here on September 13! I am very keen to go but I don't know if possibly going by myself is something I want to do. I have a friend I can possibly drag along and I said I'd lend her my CD to see if they'd be her type of thing. I don't know though. They can be a slightly acquired taste. To be honest, I'm just thinking 'screw it' and I'll go anyway. I've kicked myself too many times over the opportunities I've had to go see cool bands. But anyway, yay Dresden Dolls! That was the point of this edit and now look how long it is.
