The cold and the snowish mixture (it’s not quite snow; it’s more like icier slush) and the strange Presidents’ Day tv commercials haven’t really made me in the mood for the Year of the Pig.
Argh – missed Thursday’s episode of “Grey’s Anatomy” and ABC opted NOT to re-run it on Friday night (instead, choosing to rerun the Super Bowl 2006 episode of Grey’s Anatomy – wherein Bomb Squad Guy kicked the bucket, among other things). Following up on the episode reviews on-line, it sounded like a major cool episode – at the least, the return of Bomb Squad Guy, and Denny the Sick Guy – since Meredith is – clinically, anyway – dead and paying a visit to the afterlife. Not sure what it may mean (I mean, how would it be “Grey’s Anatomy” if Grey isn’t on the show?) – but it just sounded cool. Bomb Squad Guy – played by the always watchable Kyle Chandler – ooh…
Plus, there’s a scene Cristina, who had wavered in telling Meredith about her engagement, had to tell her fiance, Burke, that she is upset about having not gotten to tell Meredith about the engagement – because Meredith’s her “person.” Can’t believe I missed that, of all things – there may be fans out there who dislike Meredith’s wishy-washy-ness or Cristina’s bitchiness, but their bond as best friends has been something I’ve always liked. Meredith had been there for Cristina, volunteering to be Cristina’s “person” (in the episode where Cristina needed someone to be with her as she decided what to do for her surprise pregnancy) – so it’s only fair that Cristina be there for Meredith. Unclear if Burke gets that about Meredith and Cristina (does he have friends? He kind of tried to befriend McDreamy, but I don’t think they’ve made it to the level of friends yet).
The passing of the Co-Inventor of the tv remote control. Considering how much I use the tv remote control, I’ll salute this guy.
