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.

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.

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.

I concur. I thought it was bullshit, actually. I think it was evidence of poor characterization.

I don't think even Bailey went there until the whole Burke/Christina thing started making her question herself, though. (A circumstance for which I will never forgive them. Nevah!) So it wasn't as out of left field as it might have been otherwise, but still not convincing.

I dont' think that she blamed herself for his death, but the situation with Izzy cutting the LVAD

You know, I'm getting fed up with Izzie. The whole Denny thing, being nasty to Callie, then having sex with George - she's starting to make Meredith look reasonable. At least Mer mainly messes up her own life more than other people's.
