Reminders:
This is a general episode discussion thread so everyone is welcome to post in it.

We would just like to request that we respect each other's opinions and ships and
keep criticisms constructive. Thank you.

Grey's Anatomy Board Rules:
~ For the same reason, we are requesting everyone to please do not discuss 'opposing fanbases' in the threads, whether they're in or elsewhere. We all love the show so let us keep our discussions to the show and its characters.

~ Criticisms about the show and its characters are welcome in the threads as long as they're kept constructive. No character-bashing, please, especially in the episode threads. Constructive criticisms are different from bashing. We should learn to distinguish between the two. Be mindful of other posters who may like the character we're talking about. Let's keep in mind that we may have a right to post our thoughts but other people do too. If we want people to respect our opinions, let us learn to respect others too.

~ Do not call a ship and/or character by a negative association label. Since season two and on these words have been used in a character/ship bashing manner: MurDer, Bobble Head(Denny), Gizzard, Gizziegate, Grizzie, Izzme, Callous, and etc. These names are considered to be character and/or ship bashing which is something we do not tolerate on this board. So from now call the ships and/or characters by their names, and not names give to them by negative association.

~ No actor or writer-bashing, please. This is a rule. We are all welcome to criticize the characters and the stories but making negative personal comments about the actors, the creator or the writers are unacceptable. Unless we know these people personally, we have no right to talk negatively about their personal lives, even in a speculative way. Let's keep our comments to the fiction part of the show, shall we?

~ Shipper wars are also not allowed at or at this site. We believe there is no competition between the ships each show so there's no need to bash each other's ships. We like that people are so passionate about their ships and we appreciate the time and effort that you spend posting about them. We'd like to keep it that way.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask Wala or Mai.

There is a second sneak peek. It plays at the home of Amelia and Owen and it crackles clearly between Nathan and Meredith. Meredith advises Nathan from Maggie a date to have. From because she is not in love with him. Why should she be otherwise Nathan say that Maggie will ask him on a date and he no to say?! :D :P And I have a feeling that both then kiss and Maggie caught then. :goof:

OP updated. Happy Grey's Day! :D

I feel like some of the actors and actresses weren't even trying in this episode. It's almost as if they've given up on the show, even though there's 22 episodes left in the season.

Meredith and Alex pissed me off until close to the very end of the episode. Meredith more than Alex; at least he acknowledges the errors of his ways and handles that like a grown adult. Though the taking responsibility bit is coming too late, but still... better later than never! Meredith is the mother of three children, what the hell is her behavior and opinion supposed to show Zola, Bailey, and Ellie? But yeah, I'm sure Shonda has totally forgotten they exist. :rolleyes:

~~oh, right, her and Rigg's bodily fluids are in the back seat, where they supposedly sit on rides to and from the hospital!~~

actors giving up on a show thats in its 13th season? WHAT. crazy.

:lol:

Sometimes Meredith is incredibly ugly in spirit. People make fun of April or Jo for being annoying or whatever, but they have never displayed the ugliness in spirit that Meredith demonstrated tonight towards her own sister. Isn't she supposed to be a mother of three?

I understand it's hard to ship someone with no chemistry between each other and being pretty much the only one who is doing so, but your angriness is a little bit concerning. Try to be more polite to people.

OT: Meredith is evil.

I wouldn't say it was fanatic, like she said, the people at the hospital don't have much room to judge.

That's true. I wonder if she would feel different if she found out the whole story, like I know Alex would.

Meredith is an awful person for a very very very long time. But it's not really out of nowhere considering things she experienced in her life.
But, writers always comeout with "She is a stronkk white female!!!111" type of stuff after all catastrophes, so her bitchiness is indeed very strange. Though, I still don't understand "she is a mother" type of comments. The fact she is a mother doesn't mean she can't express her own feelings and be who she wants to be.

When I say that I refer to the fact that you''d think she would have evolved and become a better human being, rather than expressing the same petty behaviours you see in teenagers. Mature conversations with Maggie would have avoided the situation where she goes behind her back because she is jealous about Maggie getting close to Nathan. Why would it come to a silly triangle among three doctors?

Meredith and Alex are increasingly creepy as friends. Shonda tries way too hard to show that they are the only originals left and therefore they have each other's backs.

Another point is that Alex could not even take a few moments to point out that he got rejected by Jo. Instead, they made a point of demonstrating to us that Maggie and Meredith are hung up on Nathan through the conversations he had with them.

Meredith has had Alex's back since season 2, so I don't know why it's creepy now.

I was a little bummed we didn't get the trial's results. It looks like they'll drag the stroyline out. I'm glad for Jo standing up to Alex about what he said.
I think Bailey was a bit too harsh with Alex. When Izzie screwed up with the LVAD, she went to her house to get her back. And everyone else on that hospital has screwed up big time a bunch of times. But goodness forgive Alex screws up.

Jackson was very sweet with April.
