Absolutely, GA got so many typical things wrong. Doctors would not be looking for patients, the admitting department and business office people would.

Doctors are doctors....they would not be taking pictures of victims, they would be working on them, and following up on their care. They would be so darn busy with important stuff, that paperwork would not be it.

Disappointed in this one, but still enjoyed the show.

Glad Izzie is back!!!!!!!!

Holy Moly!! I loved the episode last night!!

I come here (to the message board), and I almost like the episode less after reading all of your comments!! I guess I didn't read into the episode that much.

ETA: BYOFFER - you really made some good points. I actually went back and re-read what you wrote and you are so right. I hardly caught any of that!

I thought George's comment to Bailey, in regards to the woman looking for her son, was great - "if my lie just saved her life, I'm fine with that".

I thought it was awesome how Karev came up with a way to identify patients and give people the answers they needed. I TOTALLY have a new found crush on Karev. I always liked him, but now I REALLY REALLY like him.

I did NOT like that little girl who wouldn't talk. Creepy.

I thought it was an awesome show last night. In a strange way, I wish they would kill off Merideth.

Yes, that was good!!!!

GRRRRRRR!

I know I said this show had jumped the shark weeks ago and vowed I wouldn't watch again. But, stupidly, I watched last night after being sucked in by the promos that I'd be watching something profound.

Well, I'm back out and for good this time for sure. Everything you enumerated there, ByO, is why. This show is hereby my nominee for "Stupidest Show on TV." And, considering that it has now replaced I Love New York for that honor, that's saying something.

I can't believe people watch this in prime time or that Sandra Oh hasn't just quit in protest of the stupidity. I don't expect much from a daytime soap in the way of a semblance of reality, but I do expect a bit more from a prime time show that does not bill itself as fantasy, science fiction, or prime time soap. The lack of any semblance of even a trace of reality has become ludicrous.

And, with that, I bow out of the thread so I don't make all the fans here hate me.

The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone. — Henrik Ibsen
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. - Henry David Thoreau

Yup, I'm with you on almost all points. My DH keeps screaming for "Yang's Anatomy" and I keep saying..nah..there is no way they will let Meridith die...they'll just emotionally manipulate us to make us cry for this "very special episode".

I am glad Izzy is back..but it really pisses me off that she keeps dissing Callie.

And yes, the doctors just running around the looking for children and people instead of savings lives...bizarre.

It does remind me of when I watch a movie and start complaining about how stupid or unrealistic it is and my DH always has to lean over and say "suspend reality" with his knowing wink...

So, yeah, I still am watching it and enjoy it, but I really hate when they do these "very special episodes" as I feel like i am supposed to be watching an after-school special!

I can't say that all of what you said did not bug me at all. Plus you forgot Miss Perky Doc just sitting in the clinic offering hugs during a time when all hands should be on deck. Plus having the Chief and McSteaming not doing something so they can walk Izzy threw drilling holes. When does Callie who is a Ortho surgeon do spinal surgery with no one else there?

Hey...you have 100's hurt and dieing.....so like you I was WTF....but they did not go for the total chaos like ER does but I knew they were going over board with a 3 parter and kind of expected it.

They just went threw a big death with Gorges dad...they did not need to go here so soon and I think the writers/producers are trying to top the last episode and if they keep it up they'll lose out why they are on top like Lost did.

Why did they not open up Meridith and warm her from the inside like I've seen done on other shows (ER - who did everything by the book in the beginning). I know cold water can save drowning people but the other problem I had is that Meridith was not knocked that far from the pier and did not bump her head so why not swim to the spot that Derek walked up with her. She did not have heavy clothes on on tennis shoes so that should have been easy even in cold water like that.

Yes, I cried but like you the more I thought about it the more disappointed I was with the episode but it was neat to see Denny and Bomb guy but then I went DOH!

One of the biggest things that all show need to do is keep it real unless its scifi...espeical war moves.

I guess we'll have to wait 2 weeks for the show to get back on track I hope.

I agree with Byoffer and others. Last night's episode was totally unrealistic in so many ways. I thought it was awful. The thing that was bugging me most was the way they drew the whole Meredith thing out. And I know that they are not going to have her die, and that will be absolutely ridiculous. She drowned. She was in the water, for what? At least 20 minutes. And they tried to revive her for like what? Another 20 minutes. SHE.IS.DEAD. And if they find some miracle way to bring her back to life, I think I'm done with this show. Totally awful. Grrrr.

Sigs by Bob! Fear and chemistry keep everyone happy!
I hated that little girl who wouldn't talk, or tell anyone that Meredith fell in the water. I wanted to punt her in the water and then maybe she'd start talking. Or at least screaming. Ugh.
