Thank you for the Asperger's comment and her portrayal of it. It IS over-the-top and that interpretation of the disorder does not help those that have it that's for sure.

I am so SICK of DENNY!!!!!! Being sick of him is making me sick of Crazy Izzy! I want to like Izzy! I want Denny to be gone! He was great when he was on the show, but as Ghost Denny, he's kind of creepy and annoying, always saying stuff to Izzy making her want to react when she can't. Since Izzy can touch him and everything, this is obviously something in her head, so I can only foresee a few possible outcomes here.

#1 - Izzy gives a long, drawn-out speech to Denny about how she is over him and in love with Alex and now that she is comfortable in her life again, he can leave. This won't happen because she already did that, and the damn dead guy was still there!

#2 - Izzy wakes up one day and Denny is gone. Not realistic at all in the realm of mental illness, but hey, this is Grey's so who knows whats possible? I mean, Izzy did save a deer's life after doing nothing at all that would possibly save the deer, and probably would have killed it.

#3 - Izzy finally decides she wants to just end it all so she can be with Denny forever, so she comes to work wearing a bomb under her scrubs and during a inpromptu meeting of all the doctors in the hospital, detonates it. Show ends, good bye, have a nice life. This probably won't happen, because if it does, the ghost of the bomb squad guy would appear, fight off crazy ghost Denny, and carry the bomb (with Izzy still attached perhaps?) out of the building.

Hope you all enjoyed this glimpse into the future (in my head).

I really thought Denny would disappear right after Alex told Izzy that he loved her. Nope. Dammit. By far the worst, most insipid, pointless, insulting, and moronic storyline on any TV show I've ever seen. It's beyond shark jumping. It's more than a non sequiter, it's already harmed the show beyond repair. Denny coming back from the dead is to Grey's Anatomy what George W. Bush has been to the United States - destructive beyond repair.

If this is how they're going about firing Katherine Heigl, she should sue the network and/or Shonda Rhimes for ruining her professional reputation ... it's sabotage.

And yes, there are always this many commercials - every 3-4 minutes - during Grey's Anatomy. The hour long showtime is 40% commercials. It's ridiculous, it's why I tivo it. I can't bear to watch it live.

I'd love to see Callie become (remain?) lesbian again with the new intern Sadie or whatever her name is just to piss off the religious nuts who got Brook Smith fired. But we know that won't happen. At least they're still making some reference to her homsexual stint... good for them. Take that, jesus fundies.

One more thing... Jeffrey Dean Morgan (I think that's his name), the actor who plays Denny also play's Mary Louise-Parker's dead husband Judah on Weeds. Talk about being typecast. Anyway, the last season of Weeds was sub-par, to say the least. Hopefully Nancy Botwin won't be seeing any ghost-Judah on Weeds next season due to to some "he must return as a ghost in at least X number of episodes within the next Y seasons of the show" clause in Jeffrey Dean Morgan's TV contracts. It certainly sucks to only play characters who quickly die, but he should try to find better parts, not insist on ruining the shows on which his character dies, if this is what's going on here. We'll see.

I like the Denny/Izzie storyline. I do. Wether it is because of JDM, or the fact that Izzie is going crazy (Can't stand KH)... but I am enjoying it.

Did anyone else love the ending? Maybe because Kanye's song was playing in the background and I love that song, but I just thought it was SO good. The boiler room thing was really different and cool too. Just everything.ha.

I too thought Denny would go away once Alex finally told Izzie he loved her. I now really have no idea where she is going with this storyline.

I am sorry but the whole Kallie/Hahn and now irritating Sadie just seems too forced. I just don't buy the whole thing and to top that off, Kallie and Sloan are just so good together. I would have no problem if it seemed like it was real....ie, Kevin & Scotty on Brothers & Sisters. This just does not work.

And I am not liking the whole Little Grey w/Sloan either. Hopefully it will only last long enough to force George (unless he is the actor being fired that Michael Ausiello is talking about) to realize that Little Grey is for him.

Dr. McArmy went a long way to convince me that he may finally be the man for Christina. I had held out hope that Burke would comeback but after last night, I think I can see those 2 together.

I'm pretty close to being done with this show, but they're holding me on by a thread. But this Dead Denny thing is really stupid, and I wish they'd kill it... literally.

I'm still unsure how I feel about the whole Dead Denny thing, I love Jeffery Dean Morgan but they're getting to the point, or possibly they've past it, where they need to let us in on the joke. They need to let the audience know why he's there, tumor, crazy doctor, or actual ghost, even if the characters don't figure it out for a few more episodes, they need to clue us in.

One good thing that the whole story line seemed to bring back was the George/Izzy friendship, you know the awesome one they ruined when they forced the two together. I mean by now we all know that the characters of this show are completely self involved but really, no one except for George has noticed that there's something wrong with Izzy? And everytime he mentions it, everyone just blows him off. Alex claims to love Izzy but he can't figure out that she's crazy?

I like that George is the only one who notices except when the truth comes out and they all realize there is something wrong with Izzy I have this awful feeling that there's going to be a whole hour long show about how each character feels bad that they didn't see it thereby making it about them and not Izzy.

I've noticed the commercial thing with a few other shows. What's happening is that they are taking more, shorter breaks, some are only one or two commercials long. It's seriously annoying if you want to get up and do something during the break and suddenly the show's back on.

I am truly upset of the inaccurate portrayal of laryngeal cancer and the resulting laryngectomy - if the patient was truly a laryngectomy she would have been breathing out of a stoma - a hole - in her throat. You also cannot just build someone a new larynx! How unfortunate that Grey's did not take the opportunity to truly educate the public. If you would like more information about laryngeal cancer and/or laryngectomys please visit: http://www.asha.org/public/speech/disorders/LaryngealCancer.htm

I'm over Denny. If they wanted him on the show, they shouldn't have killed him off. This isn't Six Feet Under--the talking dead guy doesn't work. When George notices that Izzy is off after ignoring her for so long, you'd think others would. Not to mention that I think a resident that isn't showing up for her rounds and her work would merit punishment and not a shrug.

But I'm nitpicking the little things on a show that uses a hospital and medical drama as a backdrop for its soapy characters.

I mentioned in other posts that Sloan and Lexie are the only thing that keeps me interested in terms of relationships. I hate Christina becoming holier than thou. The writers have turned her into the bitch now that Hahn is gone--which sucks because I love Sandra Oh but this transformation doesn't work for her. If it was going to happen, it should have been post-Burke and not now.

I like Sadie. Her comment that the program is broken was just what I was thinking. The Chief is incompetent and other than Bailey, and McDoctors, no one seems to understand their jobs.

a couple of errant thoughts
1) I like Hunt for Cristina a lot; she laughs with him, which is something she doesn't do; they are patient with each other's 'stuff'
2) I think Denny is unimaginative; Shonda Rimes said he was not coming back after the Meredith drowning episodes; she actually said Denny is gone during an official podcast - so much for that
3) I liked Mark Sloan's development - he did the wild thing with Lexie but he was conflicted and aware of that promise to Derek
4) why is sexuality always linear in our society? Maybe Callie is bisexual? maybe she's experimenting? Maybe the Sadie chick is one of those folks that's hot to both genders? lots of other possibilities - why does sexuality always have to be simple and linear in America?
