Well season 4 is on its way, and “A Change Is Gonna Come” has graced our TV screens for the first time. What did you guys think of the first episode?
I really liked the pacing and the humor. I loved seeing the interns making others’ lives hell. Felt bad for poor George, though. It must be so awkward no longer being an equal. Lexi needs to work on her timing. People are dying and she decides that’s a good time to tell Meredith that she’s her sister? Hope those wasted seconds didn’t impact the sick person’s life much.
Did anyone find the character dynamic weird now that Burke and Addison are gone? I was okay with their absense, actually.
Anyway, discuss away. What did you like or not like about the episode? Did it change or reinforce your expectations about season 4? I’m rather hopeful about the season myself. It reminded me of season 1 a bit, which is never a bad thing.
For those who says that Grey’s anatomy wasn’t good, that it wasn’t the Grey’s anatomy they all used to love. Please. It was the first episode! I would have hated it if they just switched from the drama of the third season to light and funny as the fourth season is suppose to be. Let the writers close the issues of the third season and after it will be as it was…well that’s what Shonda said anyway. Keep faith people!
Callie needs a g/f; like Christina is to Mer. She had Addison to confide in, but she’s gone. I liked the premier and will continue to watch. I don’t like the Izzie/George story. It’s a train-wreck in the making.
I agree that Callie needs a good friend.
In regards to the comments about this being the first episode and giving Grey’s a chance, I think that is what everyone who is complaining about it is doing. We are giving it a chance, because last season was so disappointing. For me, the show started going downhill with the episode where Meredith almost died. It was just a cheap ratings gimmick and I expect more from GA. They have five episodes to turn the Titanic around and then I have to jump ship. There are just too many good shows on TV to waste time hoping that GA will get its magic back.
And am I supposed to believe the same Shonda that said the Addison episode wasn’t a pilot and that Burke was an important member of the GA cast and wouldn’t be going anywhere?
I have just watched the first episode of season 4 and then gone through a load of these comments…i agree with most of them..lol..i really did enjoy having a new episode to watch and bits of it really did make me laugh…but there are alot of characters and it was alot to take in…so much so that nobody really got much of a say if that makes sense…i really hope Meredith and Derek stay together even thought they are officially not and i think they are making lexie too much like meredith…but then this is only the first episode..i cant wait for episode 2….x
I absolutely love Grey’s Antamoy, so there’s no way I can say that I did not enjoy the first episode of the new season!!! I’m still shocked that Burke and Addison are not going on the show anymore. I really didn’t like Izzie’s interns! And I really loved how Bailey was acting in this episode. She deserved the Chief Resident position.
Anyway, I was looking up clips of past Grey’s Anatomy’s and I found a video of Chandra Wilson (aka Bailey) helping out with the Habitat for Humanity. She’s got a big heart. Has anyone seen it?
i haven’t watched it yet coz season 4 will only be shown by end october here but reading all the quotes, comments and everything makes me super excited to watch it already! i love grey’s anatomy! plus i’m so looking forward to mer/der!(so better not split them up or else grey’s will be no more…) and cristina and bailey of course! miss everyone at grey’s already!
I thought it was just me, but during a commercial break I phoned a friend and asked her what she thought…..and you can guess, we cracked up….the deer….the choppy storyline…the incomplete sentences…the bitterness that all of the characters had for the entire show….the deer….the on and off again and on and off again relationship of Der and Mer…the deer….the patient eating the cotton…George’s behavior for the ENTIRE show…the deer….the writing….the acting…the deer (he really did the best job looking just like a deer)….I think there is a need for a good sitcom but I never thought it would be this show. Let’s see we could call it, “My Deer Anatomy”. I will watch this week, it could not be any worse, or could it?
I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! The show was slow and stupid. They gave the intern group to Cali. I loved her last season now I don’t like her. They need to do something with Bailey I can’t believe that they took that from under her, still lover her. I just hate the show. Last seasno was just too darn good for it to come back like this. I hate the new people. George need to find his self and stop playing with Cali. This story line is just not good at all. This show may not last too much longer going at this rate. I was expecting so much more and I was let down! I am going to see what happens on Thursday and if it’s the same then that’s it for me. I will look at the prior episodes on DVD. I wish that they would have left the cast alone. And if they were going to let Washington go then why did they leave Christina at the alter. That was not cool. Get it together. I hate they show! What’s the point of Merideth sister. I don’t understand.
I was not anticipating the show as much this year as I was last year. I hope Shonda can win back the extra 5 million of her fan base. I was very glad that Burke was gone since Isaiah always seemed to be the weakest link as an actor. I used to fast forward his parts and felt bad about missing Sandra Oh’s contribution sometimes. I refuse to watch Bionic Woman simply because they hired the Isaiah Ass. This season of Grey’s should do well if they lighten the tone up and maximize the Derek/Mark/Callie time onscreen.
What a sorry story line when you have Cali playing down her power. She was miscast as the Senior Resident anyway, but to see her lose so much of her confidence left me irritated. Also, trying to play George as the one in control is a laugh. C’mon Cali – get rid of the little twerp and get your groove back!
Losing both Addison and Preston was mistake enough, but this first show wasn’t even good until the last 3 minutes! Too many people – and having each of the residents have a group of interns is incredibly hard to follow.
Karev seemed to be interested in OB/GYN or was it just interested in Addison? Regardless, having George be the delivery doc also was irritating – better to cast Karev.
AND – I truly miss Burke and Addison! They added some very good “glue” to the previous season(s)
I’m not convinced. All the lead up to the first show and it turned into a maze of confusion and I’m not easily confused!
Disappointed. Most of the dialogue was flat and lifeless. The deer segment was totally unbelievable. The bright moment for me was “Joey” who had me convinced he would swallow anything within reach. Too bad they didn’t let him keep all the coins they “pulled out of his stomach.” In real life I’m sure he’d sue to recover that. Hope they bring back “Joey” later after he’s seen a therapist and overcome Pica (is that a real syndrome?)
