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.

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.
Jericho: I like the Jake/Hawkins show. And the Schuyler/Dale show - though what the hell is the mayor thinking, telling her she can't control the mine because her parents are alive somewhere, who exactly is supposed to protect their interests more than their daughter, minor or not? It's not like anyone has stepped in to help her, besides Dale. I klike the way they've set it up so that Schuyler and Dale have a big interest in mauntaining the sanctity of private property while the government, such as it is, inches towards socialism. That could get interesting.
The Hawkins' family drama seems like it could get cleared up by telling most of the truth - refugee girl that dad knew in St. Louis turned out to be crazy and threatened everyone, daughter shot her, dad panicked and buried the body, shouldn't've done that of course, but te killing was self-defense and he just wanted to protect his daughter. It fits what Sam saw, and it's deperate times, people would understand.
If they kill of Heather, well, I can probably walk away. She's by far my favorite character.
Gail is getting on my nerves.
That casting spoiler, that was for 24? Okay, I'll keep watching. Even if Mr. Grdenko apparently died under the boardwalk and no one went looking for him calling out "Is anyone alive in here" - was that too much to ask?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

That did seem very odd - that nobody in the government (ours or Russian) has noticed that the guy they'd spent the better part of the day and a huge amount of resources chasing apparently vanished without a trace.

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.

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.

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.

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