Just so we can say we called it.

Two words:

Natural.
Disaster.



[Why has this not occurred yet on Grey's? Jill, K Fig and I have discussed, and basically Grey's has run out of shit for their little dramatic 3-episode story arcs. Natural disaster is next. Earthquake probably. Volcano if they want to go for awesomeness.]

Lions and Surgeons and Bears...Oh, my!

I don't know when Grey's Anatomy went off the air. I haven't counted the days or weeks; I don't know how many "potential episodes" could have aired in the time the show was gone. Honestly, I'm not sure I even missed it. Outside motivation to air my frustrations on various blogs, the show doesn't really serve much of a purpose. But still, I faithfully tuned in after the hiatus, to see what the writers had cooked up in ABC's triumphant return of TV.

And, despite all that time off - the best they could come up with is a ripoff of The Wizard of Oz?

Meredith longs to escape "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," but the closest she can get to a song-filled soliloquy is a therapy session. Meanwhile, Rose (the Wicked Witch of the Pacific Northwest) cackles about how much she loves Derek and remains a roadblock to Meredith's fantasy.

Yang, Karev, and Stevens all go running around the hospital like the Munchkins down the Yellow Brick Road because, because, because, because, because they all want to win the Points Competition, which is of course monitored by Bailey-the-Good-Witch-of-the-East, deliverer of sparkly prizes.

Despite all his knowledge about brains, McDreamy remains the Scarecrow - unable to sort out his thoughts about Meredith and Rose and searching for someone to just tell him what to think. Hahn, as the Tin (Wo)man, clearly is heartless in the way she ignores Cristina, even when visiting in her own home. And George, rounding out the trio, wishes to be "King of the Forest" because even though he failed his intern exam, he clearly has enough common sense and courage to do a lot better than all the idiots they have running around performing tests on people.

The bear-attacked-trio swoop in as unexpectedly as the flying monkeys, throwing Seattle Grace into uproar with their see-through wounds and unexpected injuries. (Further evidence that the Grey's writers watched too much Wizard: the rebound-girl-wife was played by the same actress whose character was obsessed with the Oz books in the movie Girl, Interrupted. Coincidence? I think not).

And through it all, the Chief remains the elusive Wizard, who somehow has all the knowledge about brains (neurosurgery), hearts (cardiac surgery), and courage (to not give up even when you lose the sparkly-pager competition), yet still can't manage to get his own life all in order.

When Meredith finally gathers the sense to click her heels together and talk to the therapist (because, really, she had the power all along but she had to realize it for herself), viewers can only hope that she has a Dorothy-esque realization that her life is pretty good - despite the number of times she has tried to throw it away. (Little does she realize there's Lexie, eager to "nest" a la Auntie Em, and provide a stable home for someone. If only the two sisters could get together, maybe they could really help each other out).

So, what will it be next week, oh dear television writers? A little Showboat on a Seattle ferryboat? Or maybe Monty Python - I already heard mention of a "Holy Grail." Oh, I suppose that could also be The Da Vinci Code.

Jaws might be the most appropriate -that way they could work "jumping the shark" into the storyline, instead of just doing it metaphorically each week.

THE RETURN OF THE BLOG [excla].

YES!!
Grey's returns!!

Ewwww.......roaches!
And Meredith is in therapy for not sleeping....um shouldn't this be Justin Chambers?
And there goes Izzy.
Awww, Tucker is kind of adorable.

"What did you do to your hair?"
I love you George. Don't injure your foot.

Oh Alex, I have missed your hawtness.
"And the......anyway?!?!"
Okay Hahn and Callie are totally lesbians together.


I am pretty sure Alex got hotter since the last episode.
[And crazier...]

And a bear?!?!!? lmfao.
"Intestines in the hands!!!!"

Oh, this is going to be amazing.

HOLY SHIT YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THAT DUDE'S HAND!!!

This fainting man looks vaguely familiar.

This dude with the exposed guts really reminds me of the Taun-Taun Han Solo slices open to keep warm in 'The Empire Strikes Back.'

Also, [side note] are there really apartments as shitty as George's and Lexie's in Seattle?!?
Because that seems a lot more Detroit to me.

Note, just as McSteamy said "Wow that bear clawed you really good" a scroll came along the bottom of the screen advertising the local 11 o'clock news with the headline "Woman mauled by angry dog."
Amazing.

Okay, so Lexie stealing shit is awesome. That is a very Detroit way to decorate your Detroit apartment. Props.

Callie just owned Cristina. Awesome. And PS I forgot they were roommates.

"I got married in the spur of the moment. And I don't have a brain tumor."
"That you know of."
Word to that Meredith.

.....and commercial for McDreamy's new movie. This will not measure up to 'Enchanted.'
Also, McDreamy has been in this episode for like 4 seconds.

Speak of the devil....there he is.

"I love him."
There is a possibility Rose is insane.

"Did you just yell at the Chief?"

"From time to time I like to go to the zoo."
Quality line Chief.

"You touched a cub man. What the hell?"

"Just because you got attacked by a bear doesn't mean you can't talk smack about my wife."

George just said something about seahorses. And it did not make sense.

Score!!

This dude totally has a brain tumor. You can deny it trashy waitress, but its totally true.

"My instincts have been very bad lately...they told me to have sex with a married man."
"Ow."

Alex emo moment.
Yes!
Not sleeping becomes you Justin Chambers. You def. got hotter.

And Taun-Taun man dies.
Tear.
This guy is super creepy. Laughing and crying. Saying he deserves to die. Wtf.

Seattle at night looks pretty.
Maybe I will go visit the Millers and take a side trip up there.

"FLUIDS AND FREAKIN' REST?!!?"

What is with the sparkly electronics on ABC tonight?!

"I thought it was just going to be you and me?"
"Having sex?"
McDreamy and McSteamy just need to have their illicit affair and get it over with.

$120,000 worth of unnecessary tests?!?!?!!
IZZIE you could have paid for my Masters degree like 20 times with that money. Gah.

Callie and Hahn are totally lesbians.
Like, seriously.

BOB POSTER!!!
I love you George. Have I said that yet today?

Seriously dude, I can afford a better apartment than this. And you're fucking doctors.
Lame.

Please note college students will soon be volunteering themselves as guinea pigs in Meredith's study so they can afford to live is shitty apartments like George and Lexie's.

TIME FOR LOST!!!

[Rebecca/Ava is pregnant!! And Addison is back!!! Yesss.....I have waited for this day!!]
