I'm positive and I like their brief scene on the promo but I'm scared about the finale cliffhanger.

Nastyness · 05-14-2007, 01:32 AM

You know I would agree with this statements the Derek was wrong if not for the fact that that Meredith went to him and told him not to give up on her because she was going to be more open and let him in. With the breathing comment he let her know he needed her to be more proactive in the relationship. But whem the incident occured with her father he was there for her and she pushed him away with him trying to be there for her. I would agree it was wrong for him to say something about the woman in the bar to her and that she should be worried after everything she went through if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to support her by going to the funeral and she shut him out, ignored him and told him nothing about what happened with the test. But then the next day she's going to act like nothing happened and talk about I'm horny and need a booty call so come over. So he's supposed to just jump and be like ok? Repeat after me -Bad Trailer Sex Again. No what he did in the promo is absolutely correct. If this was at the beginning when it was just sex between them that would have possibly been ok because it was just sex. But now there are emotions involved and she is wrong. She was taking it lightly and he let her know it wasn't going to fly. The relationship has problems and he wants her to face them with him. He wants her to fight for them as he is. Sex is a fix all for her and it can't fix this problem this time. Don't get me wrong I want them together more than anything.

I dont think anyone says that one person is fully wrong in the situation. Its just gonna be that people who have previous greviences with meredith will blame her more and people who have previous greviences with derek will blame him more of find him more at fault. I mean obviously not everyone likes meredith and not everyone likes derek! Or they may just feel something for one side more than the other? I dunno, lol!

Im not gonna get into the whole 'who's fault or whose more fault it it'. I think it's each others fault they both have issues that lead to the mess that is now, lol. It takes two to tango as someone on the previous episode said!!

She defiantly isn't smiling in that little clip but she sorta does near the end....im still excited, well im looking forward to what happens!

i'm excited after seeing these caps - they're obvioulsy after the whole ' i met a woman in a bar' scene because they're dressed for the wedding instead of the hospital and i guess the wedding will happen towards the end of the episode?!

and i'm pretty much convinced this season's cliff hanger isn't MerDer related because its kinda been that for the last two seasons and whilst this show is about meredith i think we'll get more of an overall cast cliffhanger instead of related to one specific couple!? just a thought!

Both have issues, Meredith more than Derek, but their problem is the communication. They should talk. Sometimes sex helps but it isn't the solution.

About the promo I hope the shot won't be in GA.
Sometimes promos are confused.

No the shooting was for Ugly Betty!

I love the McDreamy smile, they better not just be trying to pull me in by showing him being McDreamy and then everything turns to crap on the show, lol!!

But i liked the little bit we got shown, its obviously after the whole preious convo!

Sometimes promos aren't believable.

I'm glad to see McDreamy smile but I think we will see some other things after that scene.
I don't think ABC showed the cliff on the promo but I don't know.

Hmm, I must admit the smile is a good sign at least. I am determined to stay optimistic, I must, my poor soul can't take a long, tortured "break"!

princess fiona · 05-14-2007, 08:51 AM

yay! they seems OK anyways..... thanks for the caps...... :0

Thanks for the new thread! I'm getting anxious for Thursday. The promo made me a little more optimistic so I hope things will turn out ok for them.

Despite the promo and because of the promo, I am wary of the next episode. I'm worried they will leave us hanging on a negative note for Mer/Der.
