Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Thrive to spite them

I kind of liked the ambiguity of Christina's breakdown, maybe she wasn't sure what she meant either.

Given that GA-time is much like Lost-time - Izzy's declaration of love for George is even worse. I mean, it was probably what -- six months ago that she risked her career and Bailey's career to get Denny a heart? Probably less than 4 months ago that she was so distraught about his death that she let that check for 8 million dollars just sit on the fridge forever.

And it also makes Derek's lack of understanding for Mere who has w/in a very short period of time lost her mother and her stepmother and had her father repudiate her. Mere totally should be allowed to be messed up about that.

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

I think it was less than 6 months ago. All three seasons are 1 year.

Wait! From zap2it:

CBS cast Australian Alex O'Loughlin ("The Shield") as its vampire P.I. in "Moonlight" and Englishman Jack Davenport ("Coupling") in the midseason show "Swingtown."

(Bold is mine.)

Oh, I did some crazy math and I think that season 3 began five months ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sandra Oh is so awesome, she makes me forgive a lot of Shonda Rimes's bullshit.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

All three seasons are 1 year.

Does that work with Bailey's pregnancy? I never really thought about it being one year, but I guess it would have to be.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

There were too many depressing season finales this year. I just watched the finale of Ugly Betty, and it was almost too painful to watch.

Numb3rs: I can't believe that Colby is a traitor! And the Diane Farr character - it sounds like she might not be back either.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Caught up on a bunch of TV last night. Damn, Lady Heather rocks. I love her dynamic with Grissom, and I really wish they'd gone down that road. But I loved Catherine talking to Sara about Grissom's past loves being beautiful, intense, and seriously difficult. With the implication that maybe Grissom's attraction to Sara is more about her being the most messed up of all than anything else. Of course, I could be reading a lot into that.

GA: I'm really disappointed in how they handled Burke and Cristina. Meredith didn't just need that - the show needed it. But OTOH - when Burke was walking back down the aisle, I kept expecting Cristina to walk out, and was thinking "this is the first time in a long time - maybe ever - he's met her halfway." (And even there, it would have been inadvertently.) So while I think it was the wrong choice for the show, it may not have been wrong for Cristina. And damn, did Sandra Oh sell the hell out of it.

A year ago, if you'd told me the two main couples would break up, I'd have expected my sympathy to be with Derek and Burke. Things do change. What a couple of fuckheads, Derek especially. I can't wait for that shit from last week to explode all over him.

Loved the Chief and Adele though. That was some amazing work, and a beautiful way to wrap up a story line that looked like it could have gone soap opera like the rest.

Also kind of loved Callie subtly sticking it to Izzy in the church.

Bailey, ouch. I thought it was odd she wasn't at the wedding, but didn't pick up on why. Unlike George, who I knew was lying about having passed.

On Bailey, though - much as I love her, and much as she's their boss, not their mom...she's got five interns and only one has arguably not gone completely off the rails over the course of the year. I don't know that I'd say she failed them, but neither did she cover herself in glory there. I wish we'd seen signs of Callie having interns of her own (she must, right?) and even off-hand references to whether or not they're as fucked up a bunch as Bailey's.
