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

You want Cable Drama, down the hall.

Sorry. I misread.

Yeah, I don't get why they're pushing the idiotic Izzy/George crap.

And it would have been excellent if Christina had said, "Checkmate" to herself when whathisface left.

Meanwhile, Addison dancing with the Chief was the best scene in the show.

sumi, I completely agree. Also, the Izzy/George stuff is a complete turnoff to me. Yesterday afternoon, I looked at what Tivo was taping that evening and I realized I would have preferred to watch CSI in "real" time because I actually feel a little sick when I think about George/Izzy.

I hate the Izzy/George stuff on GA.

Does anyone here watch Crossing Jordan? This week's episode was so creepy.

Wasn't it? And I felt like there wasn't much to say about it because - true to life, right? Except where they got him back at the end.

The end really was too easy. The rest of the episode terrified me because it was so real.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I was talking to a co-worker about GA and why people like Bailey. We decided that it's largely because she's so down-to-earth, no quibbles, no wavering, not much in the way of emotional baggage. She knows what she wants, she knows what's important, and she's working on that.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I think the thing about GA and the Izzie/George thing is that they're exploring it so they can drop it entirely. Like, whoops, that didn't work out, lets move on. Similar thing to Izzie and Alex, really. I mean, I wish they hadn't gone there at all, but I confess I'm not surprised.

also, she doesn't play politics or favorites, and she admits when she's wrong. She took a lot of responsiblity for the Denny situation, because if she had been on her game, she would have realized what was going on and stepped in.

I don't know, V, that felt a little contrived. She had a baby--it wasn't her game that was off. It was that the game had changed. Her priorities had changed, and they should have. It was a tragic thing, but it wasn't her fault. I understand why she took responsibility, but I think it was pretty heavy handed, and placing the onus of Denny's death on her was disappointing for me.
