And now, may I present...

alphasarah & baronessmartha's take on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, in convenient list form:

1. George is an idiot for not physically preventing Izzy from cutting the LVAD wires.
   
2. Cristina and Izzy are emotionally retarded. Burke would be far better off sleeping with McDreamy. BM suggests that she could then sleep with Addison. I suggest that Cristina and Addison should hook up. Burke is far too good for Cristina; Denny is far too good for Izzy.
   
3. A flatline is a flatline is a flatline. If there are paddles, you were dead.
   
4. Is Addison a neonatologist, a perinatologist, or a regular OB/Gyn? She can be the last 2 at the same time, but not all 3 at once.
   
5. There are only 2 nurses in Seattle Grace Hospital: Olivia and that chick that Alex slept with.
   
6. Meredith has a big thing to hang over the chief's head. Go, Meredith.
   
7. Preston makes Cristina be an adult. Go, Preston!
   
8. George is suddenly NOT emotionally retarded. Go, George!
   
9. uhoh.... McDreamy is looking at her again. Poor Finn. We like Finn (even if he makes us think of Batman movies). (subpoint: love the music during the sex scene. Very sultry.)
   
10. Why didn't anybody come running when Denny died for like the eleventybillionth time this episode? Is Seattle Grace so low-tech that they don't have monitors at the nurse's station?
    
11. Callie is in "the family" now. And so is Alex. We are impressed that Alex was miraculously NOT an enormous asshole.
    
12. You can draw out some interesting parallels between Meredith and Derek and Meredith's mom and the chief.

I think #12 was one of the obvious points of the episode. :)

The other points? Yes.

the flaw with the parallels is the fact that, well, who is the person that Meredith is cheating on with Derek? Or ... here's a twisted thought.

Ellis:Richard::Derek:Meredith. In that equation, though, does Doc (the dog) = Meredith?

Just because Meredith isn't married to Finn, doesn't mean it ain't cheatin'.

But I agree, the Ellis:Richard::Derek:Meredith equation works best. But Meredith has the choice between safe and between soul-searing passion, too.

'Course, I think that's a false dichotomy, and that in real life you go for the wonderful sweet guy who isn't married already, but y'know. I'm just speakin' from hard-won experience here. :)

sure, Meredith cheated on Finn with Derek... but she's not with Derek in addition to a stable, long-term relationshp. When they first hooked up, she was single. She's with Finn with all of the history between her & Derek.

Hence the second equation.

There's another nurse (re: #5) -- the one Cristina pissed off that time and spent the whole day cleaning up puke. Remember??

oooh, you're right. So we're up to THREE WHOLE NURSES in a major teaching hospital.
