Grey's Anatomy Season 5--Something I just read...

Yea, who knows how the whole thing will play out, but I'm sure it will be interesting no matter what! LOL Oh yea, and luckily they actually did save that last girl they operated on, and the tumor was shrinking! So if it's that kind of tumor, if there really is a tumor, it would be cool to see them save her!

Yea, she was withdrew her spot in the emmy's or whatever award it was, I can't remember, and she said something like she didn't want to have someone else not get it if she does because she didn't think she was given great material last season. But I really hope it blows over, I mean, this definitely isn't as bad as what Isaiah Washington said, so hopefully people maybe tell her off and drop it.

I also don't think they should kill her off! And I love all the characters, sometimes it's hard to decide, but Izzie is just so nice, and even though she made the mistake she made, I still like her character, it made her even more interesting, because I think she still really needs to deal with losing Denny.

if they don't kill her off, maybe they will have her resolve her feelings with denny. like she'll get really sick and have some out of body experiance or something. kind of like meredith did when she almost died.

ooh.. yea, that would be really cool! I just feel that towards the end they really tied it up nicely, with Bailey giving her the clinic--so things were really starting to look like they were turning around for her. But I do think she probably still has her feelings for Denny, and I'm sure if it was real life, those would never leave completely. But I do think she needs a way to resolve her feelings so she can move on and have a healthy relationship with someone else. So I definitely hope that they do go that route, like make her think she is dying, but then let her overcome it. Because really, she seems to be a fighter at heart--she came from a low income background, overcame her pregnancy and actually faced it head on and made the responsible decision and then went on to work her way through college and Med school to become a doctor. So I think that so far she has had to be the strongest as far as overcoming obstacles, sure, Meredith has her family issues--and I can definitely sympathize with her there, but her mom was a surgeon, so it was pretty easy for her to get where she is, she just needs to work on her trust issues. Although, Alex, I am waiting to hear more about his past, because it sounds like he may have faced a lot of bad stuff as well.

Oh good, yea.. I don't take much stock in rumors. I have one site that I usually go by for spoilers, and that one hasn't said anything in regards to this, so I'm not going to believe it till I see it. LOL
Yep, I had just mentioned about the Isaiah Washington situation in my comment above, before I read yours. You are right, what he did was much worse! It's true, people always want to stir up drama.
I won't truly believe anything until I see it on tv, if I did then there would be less excitement to actually see what's to come!

Although... I was psyched to hear that the season premier is gonna be 2 hours long! So I'm happy about that!

I hadn't heard that yet about the premiere being two hours long! Awesome! Maybe they're making up for time lost from the writer's strike. And I think that had something to do with the material for Izzie. It had to be hard to really get something going with such a short season. I think they just used her emotional side to beat her down a bit. True she's not as aggressive as the others and she does tend to get emotionally involved a lot but when she gets down to it, she does shine through. Hopefully she'll have a stronger story line this season and continue to grow.

yea, the strike messed up a lot! but I am glad that at the very end it did seem like she was starting to really turn things around, and then Bailey giving her the clinic.. that really was great, because I think Izzie will be a good surgeon, but I also think that she is great with patient care, and that is an important quality, I mean, someone like Cristina is weaker in that area, and patient care and emotions are not as easy to learn as technique. So I really think a balance is needed. It's like Izzie needs to give some of her compassion to Cristina and the other way around. LOL Then I think they would both be even stronger doctors, because they would have the right amount of emotionality and rigidity.

Yea, I am so psyched that it's 2 hours! I read the blog on abc.com that Shonda writes in, and her blog about the finale she was saying that right after that she was going into the writers and pitching the finale scene from the season 5 ending! She said that is how she does it. So I think that is so interesting that they know how they want it to end, and the rest is just about getting there and being dramatic and just all around amazing! So I think that's probably how season 4 got so chopped up, because they had to take a detour to get to the place that they wanted to get to on time!

I meant to respond to this the other day but saved it because it turned into a crazy week. Sorry I'm just getting to it now!

I agree with you. I know some people would LOVE to have someone like Izzie who has great bedside manners rather than someone like Christina. And I do think it would be nice if they trade off a bit. LOL...it's always nice to see Christina when that compassion finally shines through. The same goes for Izzie. I'm always cheering her on when she gets tough.

I think Bailey is the combination of the two. She always comes out as tough and mean but we've so many times how caring she can be. You know that inside that tough shell is a heart of gold.

That's interesting about Shonda's blog! I can understand that because when ever I had to write something, I had some idea in my head what I wanted and what direction to go in. Should be interesting to see how they fill in the gaps!

Yea, I just heard it.. but with mixed opinions. So I don't know what to think. Someone said maybe they are trying to mess with her head and make her not know her future, like if she was living or dying. So who knows, I am definitely hoping that is the case, because I think she is a great addition as far as personalities go, she has more heart than some of the others, except maybe George, he is pretty compassionate as well. So I really couldn't imagine what it would be like without Izzie. I'm just biding my time till September 25th.. Then we will all start to get an idea of what's going on! Well, also, I know of a pretty good site that gets pretty accurate spoilers, so when that site says something about this then I will really start to believe it.

LOL Oh wow! You are behind huh? haha I have all 4 seasons on my i-pod, but I still watch the re-runs on tv sometimes. LOL During the tv season I would have my i-pod plugged into my tv and watched it till Thursday night. Usually got through every episode in time for the new one. haha But I haven't been doing that lately, I think I'm worried I will be bummed out because I have to wait for September to see any new ones! LOL So probably about a week or so before the premier I'll start watching my collection so I'm ready for the new season!

for some reason i thought i wouldnt like it so i never watched it till it came on lifetime

OMG I was the same way! I tend to be like that when something is popular, a lot of shows I like now I didn't watch till they were on reruns! My friend actually recommended that I watch it, when I was talking about medical shows I watched.. like for a while I was watching Strong Medicine on Lifetime and I've seen House a few times.. but I never remember to catch it! LOL But anyway, so I started seeing the commercials for Grey's Anatomy coming on lifetime and it really caught my interest! So right after I saw the first episode on lifetime I went on i-tunes and bought all the seasons! I guess that was during season 3, it was winter break.. so the show was on hiatus or whatever so basically once I got all the episodes downloaded I had a marathon where I watched every episode and then I started watching it on tv when it came back with new episodes. So last season was my first time watching it from the beginning, so it bothered me even more so when it was cut short from the strike! LOL

i loved strong medicine!! and that show is how i found out about fibromyalgia and got diagnoised so i will always love it for that other wise who knows where i would be.. i never liked house and the first couple of seasons of er i liked but kept forgetting about it.. i love discovery health channel and all those health shows.. along with medical blogs and sites.. my mom was a medical junkie too and went to school to be a nurse but never made it

I hope they don't kill her off either, things really started to come together for her at the end of the season! So I really hope to see that continue, even if she suffers some set backs, since set backs are normal and interesting! I don't know, I'm still holding on to the hope that she will continue the show at least one more season, and maybe make movies like she did with the other movies she made while being on Grey's! I actually haven't seen 27 Dresses, it looked good, but I don't go to the movies often.. the last movie I saw in the theatre was Material Girls with Hilary and Hayley Duff! LOL My dad was a good sport, he even went with me to see it! aww.. so sorry to hear that you missed a lot. Re-runs air on lifetime I think on Sunday nights, and also, when the new season starts, you can watch the nights episode for free on abc.com on Friday!:) So that's a good option for the new season if you can't catch it!

WOO HOO, and since I'm on the computer all the time anyway that's a great idea. Now I won't miss them.

Yea, I really don't think anyone really knows what went down, except for those directly linked to it, like Shonda and Katherine and probably the other writers. And personally what she said didn't bother me, I really think everything she says is blown out of proportion. I think she did a good thing taking herself out of the running, I mean, if she knew it wasn't her best work on the show so far it wouldn't have been right to take the reward from people who did better. I mean, I think she is a great actress, and I think she did good last season.. but it definitely wasn't up to the level of the other seasons. So I believe that maybe some of the hype about the rumors of them killing her off are just being misread. Maybe there will be a twist, but I can't imagine that they would do it to "get even" for what she said.. that is so 2nd grade! They are adults, you'd think they could work things out, and I'm sure they have.. like you said.

I definitely don't take too much stock in what the media says about things. Most the time they are nothing but trouble-makers trying to start a fight!

just let me comment first in your last statement..

i definitely agree with you 100%, most of the time, yes!!! not just looking for trouble, they know people will buy this kind of stuff and this boils down to just what they called, "this is just business, you know!!" business my a$$.!!, you know what i'm sayin'? all the time they keep on promoting a what you called transparent reporting.. (another BS) sorry just can't resist things like that..

anyway, (back to regular programming) i even didn't noticed it that izzie had a limited or light role in the recently concluded season. perhaps it better that we don't put so much attention in that though in the previous season, she did have great part and acting. (with denny) but at the back of my mind, i was thinking as well that considering that this is a series of events, so there would be time for each character to have big or bigger role in a certain season or episode. she already have her own share during denny's episodes. most of it there revolves around her, but off course except for mer-der and that's pretty obvious.

i am thinking and inclined more for a twist to come, maybe in the middle on the season but again, that would depend on the flow when the season starts.
