How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

What I want to know is how the Presidential address is going to FRELL my tv viewing: Prison Break and HIMYM both have season finales tonight.

I know that the Oprah thing that was going to be on before the GA finale has been switched to next week -- but what about PB??

Punishingly Intricate

GA: I was really hoping that when Izzie was having her freak out and started leaning in close to Denny that he'd slap her. I know he doesn't have much strength but still... maybe it would have helped.

And I know it's a soap opera and they aren't supposed to act like real people but in addition to Izzie's madness Christina really pissed me off. There are people with serious gunshot wounds that need a doctor and you're having a hissy fit because your boyfriend didn't take you with him to get the heart.

I understand her wanting to do the cool surgeries but that just was unreal and I understand he was punishing her but still...Gunshot people! Right there!

Only Addison and Bailey were acting right at all. Good on Addison for calling Derek & Meredith on their bullshit. Even if it's going to wreck her life.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

GA: How can Denny help but think, "Izzy, you're a psycho" and break it off? Seriously. Crazy people.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

lisah, about Christina:

I brushed off her tantrum about the heart because I saw it more as Burke remaining angry with her than about the actual trip. Technically, he probably should have brought another intern because she's already had the experience. But, I am trying to figure out why he is so ticked at her still. He's forgiven a lot worse, IMO.

Trudy -- what. you. said. Also, George - I was hoping that he would tackle her or something to prevent her from cutting that line. But I can understand why he couldn't believe that somebody would do that.

le N,

YES! I so don't get why Burke is pissed at her either. I mean, she just fell asleep, right? It's not like she chose to fall asleep? And it's not like she sighed and said, "Is that the best you can do?" or something. In conclusion, I want to slap them both.

Honestly, I think the show may be too upsetting for me to be able to enjoy much anymore.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Luckily, we're about to have the summer off, lisah! PS: I still love your tagline.

The mailman just buzzed me -- which is a miracle by itself, because I was convinced they just don't try to deliver anything except the pink card -- and I was all excited, because I thought it would be my dress from eBay! But no, it was my mug from public radio. Better than a kick in the head, but still.

Burke might be so pissed because she's so friggin self-righteous about it and he's a sensitive boy. She's all "hey, we're surgeons, we're tired, we're bad ass" and hasn't even attempted, "honey, I'm so sorry, you're a wonderful lover blahdeblah blah"

Trudy -- very true. Also GA: I missed this but apparently the Vinnie Van Lowe-actor's character was named Echolls! (This was mentioned on TWOP.)

sumi: I know I heard on my Fox affiliate that they'd be pushing their shows back by 20 min, but showing them in their entirety. I'm EST, so Prison Break will start at 8:20. My CBS affiliate doesn't seem to be showing the speech.
