I'm still crying
Okay, most of you don't know me, but I hate movies or anything that makes me emote - I hate crying, which is why it is such an enigma that I love this show.
I could have done without most of the "heaven" scenes, but HELL, they really got me with two things: 1) Meredith's mother showing up (I'm starting to weep as I write this) and 2) Denny "feeling" Izzie -- that just broke my heart....and the ending with Denny and Izzie passing through the same space - I bawled. Isn't that what we all wish for? To be a part of the person that has passed? To share some piece of the air they breathe, the space they occupy? It made me so sad because I truly hope it feels a little that way when we depart - but what suffering to barely feel them and long to feel them. Heartbreaking, but I guess that is the "circle of life' huh?
On to Addison...would you REALLY want to be with a man that you have to bribe to stop having sex with nameless, countless women? Why would she even consider McSteamy when he visibly winced at her suggestion to stop having sex? I know I am not a man and don't understand that physical need, but if he really wanted to be with her, would she really have to TELL him....wouldn't he be trying to prove it while he pined away for her...or is that not man enough?
I also cried when RIchard was talking to Meredith's mom after she had passed. That was so sad...I did like that he said he dyed his hair for the "ladies". I figured that was what was going on because really isn't that what is usually going on when someone makes such a change in themselves?
Here's hoping (at least from my standpoint) that we can now move on from all the sad stuff to some fun, funny stuff. PLEASE!!! :)

I cried. No joke. I cried so hard that I scared my roommate. Now THAT's some serious episode. The thought of only being able to "feel" a loved one after you're dead is unacceptable for me, *sigh* Denny and Izzie. I can't stand the sadness.
I cried again when Meredith's mom hugged her, and when Cristina told Meredith about her engagement.
And I really wish that George and Callie would work out. They deserve to be together. Even if it's against Izzie's wishes.
Alex is going to be good friends with Jane Doe, but will get his heart broken when she heals and someone claims her. I bet.
Can't wait for next week!
Is something wrong with me? I didn't boo hoo that much this time. The scenes that really got me, though, were the ones Johna mentioned. Occupying the same space after death. But I feel TERRIBLE that Denny is just wandering in the after-life. Isn't there more... more happiness and fulfillment for him? Doesn't he deserve that?
The only thing I did like about the concept was that Meredith and Ellis were able to cross paths and make peace. I thought Derek's speech to Ellis (before she died) was completely appropriate. He needed someone to blame, and I think he placed it squarely in the right spot.
BTW: Who was the woman who kept bleeding out? I couldn't place her.
I felt a teeny bit cheated when Meredith came out of it. The scene with Cristina was priceless and sweet, but I guess I wanted MORE between Meredith and Derek. A looking into each other's eyes... reaffirming their love for each other... reaffirming their need for each other... a little more tenderness there. I guess there was some of that... but I wanted MORE! But there's always next week.
I agree with Wanda about Alex. There's something going on there.
And I thought Addison's 60-days challenge to Mark was hysterical. He can SAY anything he wants. But she's going to force him to SHOW HER. The saddest moment for me was her realization that Derek never loved her the way he loved Meredith. How sad, sad, sad!
And you go Bailey! I loved her "Yes I am!" when the curly-haired cheesy doc said Bailey was going to give her a run for her money for Chief Resident. I'm pullin' for ya.
Loved seeing Denny. He's so yummy. And I thought the scene where Meredith is scratching a dog (Doc?) was a nice touch.
Am I the only one confused about how Izzie and Denny fell so madly in love in the first place? I felt like we were ripped off in seeing how these two truly connected... I'm not saying that I wanted it to be a bigger part of the plot, but I don't feel like I know why they were so head over heels for each other. Sure, maybe they were soulmates and felt the connection right away, but that was lost on me... So the whole Denny in the afterlife stuff didn't really phase me, sorry.
Also, I did not want Meredith to die but once I thought she was actually dead, I was disappointed that magical Christina "brought her back to life." I thought that was lame.
I couldn't agree with you more on the magical Cristina -- what Derek wasn't enough to bring her back, but Cristina was. I never knew ankle squeezing was a way to "connect" with a dead person.
Also, WOW, all the doctors hauled outta there once they had a heartbeat - dontcha think you might want to keep a good watch on her for a while? That was kind a stupid!!
AH-HAH! This is what happens when you miss the previews in the beginning. Doc was in the first scene. By the way... great dialogue from the medic about being dead. Funny. Hate I missed it first time around... and the woman who kept bleeding out was the one who came in attached to the man with a pole through both of them. That was buggin' me. Whew. All better now.
Who sung that song in the end that was a really good song does anyone know ?
OK, WHY was the pole-woman bleeding out all the time and no one else had any "symptoms' of what killed them? I didn't get that. And for Gods sake, Meredith has wished for Derrick the whole show....and now that she's got him, a side comment from her mom is going to make her consider suicide????
What's this I hear about Addison going off on a spinoff with Taye Diggs???????
