Six Days was sad, but good!

So reality has set in for Derek and Meredith....snoring, beard stubble, bad breath.

I'm so glad Addison and Alex finally kissed. The two people I disliked for so many shows are now two of my favorite. Addison has really seemed to change Alex into a feeling, caring person. I predict a relationship which will get really serious and then have some major crash and burn...like a pregnancy that Alex doesn't want and Addison does want....kind of the reversal of her past situation. I'm also surprised that she confided her abortion secret to Callie - maybe sometimes its easier to confess a deep and dark secret to someone you AREN't that close to?

I love that Meredith is trying to find a piece of herself in her father. She wants so bad to not feel anything for him and is a little afraid, but ultimately, she does want to connect. My dad and I are so much alike...mean, hot tempered, dramatic, creative and we always find a way to argue with one another...how bad I don't want to see myself in him, and really it is a mirror-image!! It kills me.

We keep getting glimpses of Bailey's softer side. I am pretty convinced the reason she challenges Izzie so much on getting personally involved in cases is because she probably did the same when she was an intern. I think we saw that when we saw her struggle with dealing with George's dad. She doesn't want to see Izzie struggle with the emotional side of being a surgeon. Just a guess.

And of course, the whole Dad dying thing sucked and I just really tried to focus on the other stories since it was so sad! Interesting note though, that entire storyline was based on one of the writer's father...that was the dedication you saw at the end on of the show. Read more about it here if you like: http://www.greyswriters.com/2007/01/six_more_days_w.html . Cristina also showed her softer side tonight when she attempted to comfort George over the loss of his father....but notice the body language -- she has her arms crossed, still guarding herself. She never holds or hugs him.

So, I guess George is going to go from loss to loose next week since he has his dad's ordeal behind him....and can't wait for the last 5 minutes...hope the show lives up to the promos (it usually does!)

Favorite quotes:

"I did it. He was teasing me and he was bigger than me so I needed a stick to reach his face"
"There's a club, the dead dad's club and you can't be in it until you are in it."
"I don't how to exist in a world where my dad doesn't"

What does "Six Days" mean anyway - where did I miss that?

can someone please give me a copy of the speech that George gave his dad while shaving him?? Ity was beautiful and I want to use that monologue in my acting class. PLEASE.

I think that the two parter covered "Six Days" in the hospital. Remember Addison said to Alex, "I haven't seen you in a couple days." but it had only been minutes since they had been on screen together?

The episode was good...sad, but good.

Six days is the amount of time covered from the first day of Part 1 to the ending of Part 2. Each day is marked by us seeing Meredith and Derek in bed. It was on Grey Matter the other day when Krista answered the first 5 questions asked, plus some more FAQs.

This is my first time to your Grey's blog...just wanted to say HI!

"Six Days" means just that. You can count the times Meredith and Derek wake up together.
