I supposed the shot of him face down in the waves doesn't absolutely confirm that he's dead, so he might show up again later today. That transition from we have the bombs, everything is okay, to now the Chinese are the bad guys and Jack's a rogue agent seemed very un-24-like, so some retconning down the road is okay with me.

And I would be a little interested in the conflict between George's loyalty to his friend and his commitment to his wife if they hadn't gone and had the sex - now it's just clearly Calli is right and George and Izzie need to be smacked.
t, you have a good point here. It might have been a bit interesting as a conflict between Callie and his friends without the sex, but it really is just ick now. And Izzy's negative response to Callie is a lot less complex as a result.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Izzie's tiresome. And I would be a little interested in the conflict between George's loyalty to his friend and his commitment to his wife if they hadn't gone and had the sex - now it's just clearly Calli is right and George and Izzie need to be smacked.
This, exactly. I could sympathize with George before the sex.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The George/Izzie sex may have been the last straw for me. I'm recording GA tonight, but I'm not sure my love for Christina and Bailey will overcome my desire to beat everyone else blue.
Except Callie. Although the sudden reveal that she's stinking rich gave me whiplash. I hate it when things come totally out of left field like that. If she's rich, why was she ever living in the basement of the hospital?

she was never living there for the money, she was living there for the convenience.
I was going to let GA go, but the "Door River" prop has given me unreasonable love.

I gave up on GA when I realized that all they're going to do for the run of the show is pair off cast members and then have them break up. What got me interested in the show in the first place was watching the characters learn how to be doctors.

Eh, there's too much I like about GA to drop it for a B line. Also, spinoff! Filled with super-hot women!
What episode of Criminal Minds was on Wednesday? It was a repeat, that much I know.

This bothered me too. I mean, first Denny, now Calli. I know doctors tend to be well off, but I thought it was usually earned wealth that didn't show up until they'd been practicing for a while. On the other hand, it didn't bother me at all when whatshisname on Bones turned out to be rich, so I'm not sure why this bugs me.

Well, at least that made her living in the hotel make sense. And, in a way, the living in the basement - being all romantic and rejecting her family's money and the luxury it buys.
Does Ugly Betty go in here or in Comedy?

I suppose it could go either way, -t, but I would guess here since the examples for comedy were all sitcoms. However, I haven't been in Comedy, so I'm not sure.
I kind of like this setup. I may be getting to be too attached to our little Wilbur here.
